2012 sunglasses that may change your life...

Well hello Judges,

My goodness this week seems to be flying , and i cannot believe that we are edging ever closer to the summer months. Bring it on , as then everyday i can wear another one of my ever growing sunglasses collection. There has to be an upside to being optician , and summer sure is one of the best times.

So how has your week been going?.. I have to say mine has been going rather well. I have a party to go to at the weekend... a friend's birthday ,so I am looking forward to letting my hair down. and have a Sauvignon Blanc or 3!. What is your tipple of the moment ?...a friend of mine keeps going on about Pink gin but it always reminds me of politicians during the war years.

I don't know if you happened to read the Mail on Sunday's last week in the' You' magazine. I came across an article that has inspired the next section of this blog. Simply, it grouped together the four main shapes for sunglasses and matched them with designer sunglasses.

So in a way this blog will do the same except go one step further and recommend which face shape suits which trend and not forgetting aviators.

Round sunglasses - These are back with a bang, and are taking over the faces of many up and down the country ranging from small to large frames. Available in various colours but to be ahead of the trend think tortoiseshell for that real authentic/classic look.

Think the Beatles, Liam Gallagher, Hirohito and Gandhi .

Round sunglasses suit people with a strong bone structure, long or oblong face as it helps to soften the sometimes harsh angles.

Labels that really do this trend justice are Balenciaga sunglasses, Bvlgari sunglasses, Gucci sunglasses and Tom Ford sunglasses .

Retro Sunglasses have been coming up trumps, and I have so many genuine retro and also 'newtro' sunglasses this is a look that will never leave, as the colours and shapes are classic and just get a freshen up each season. This season the introduction of tobacco shades and amber makes the new sunglasses look aged and shapes hail from any bygone era, larger frames tend to be taking inspiration from the 60's think Jackie O, Mary Quant, Andy Warhol, Arthur Askey and Harold Lloyd.

The retro sunglass is dependant on shape but if they are more rounded than angled people with square, triangle or oblong face shapes will benefit though people with a heavier set face will benefit from something with more of angle.

Labels to look for to head back to the golden age are:- Oliver Peoples sunglasses, Stella McCartney sunglasses,Giorgio Armani sunglasses and Paul Smith sunglasses .

Cat's eye sunglasses have clawed their way up the fashion pack picks , and scratched the eyes of many editors on the front rows of the shows. The look hails back to the 50's , and with that great shape comes many benefits in the sense of the wider brow line that narrows at an angle to a much smaller base of the lens. This look can be carried of by all face shapes and the look is a very glamorous look think:- Paloma faith, Dita von Teese, the fifties housewife or secretary and not forgetting Dame Edna Everage.

Labels that are off their heads on catnip are:- Dior sunglasses , Miu Miu sunglasses , Prada sunglasses , Dsquared2 sunglasses , Balenciaga sunglasses and Stella Mccartney sunglasses .

Fancy sunglasses are what can finally be described as sunglasses that are more in your face and bold in statement. Colours rich patterns and quirky or intricate finishing touches. Shapes are varied and range size all that can be said are these are not for someone a person who does not like to stand out from the crowd.

Depending on confidence and shape this is a look that could be carried of by one and all.

Current trend setters are:- The Rizzle Kicks, Tinchie Stryder, Katy Perry,Lady GaGa and Jessie J

Labels that shine to the max are: - Dolce&Gabbana sunglasses , Marc Jacobs sunglasses , Bottega Venetta sunglasses for it's luxury take on this trend, Dior sunglasses, Balenciaga sunglasses for pushing the boundaries.

Life seems to be a merry-go-round for Marc Jacobs.

Well it's that time of day Judges,

Yep you guessed it blog time and today's subject matter in hand is the creative and fashion King of the stateside corner of the fashion globe Marc Jacobs.... but hold up, how rude of me in a whirl to get this show on the road... I never even thanked you for the great response we have been enjoying to our recent posts ...... So a big thank you to you all for taking five or ten minutes out of your precious days to read my mindless babble.

So without further need I am going to hurl you into the 'crazy' world of Marc Jacobs. Born in New York back in '63 Jacobs himself has two labels which he has complete creative control over , and his second Job being... no, not a paperboy but only Creative Director for the fashion Juggernaut Louis Vuitton. Jacobs, a self proclaimed king of self publicity recently did his bow in a polo dress and no I am not talking a Ralph Lauren dress but a Polo 'T' shirt dress! The man certainly is ahead of his game. I think I will stick to My palazo's to relax in... no risk of dropping a clanger there.

So Jacobs having all the spare time he has recently finished off New york fashion week with Two shows for his own labels, and in Paris he did what can only be described as one of the most ostentatious shows for Louis Vuitton .The models were shown on a LV monogammed merry- go -round with heaps of white luggage and colourful clothes, but that was not all. More recently, in the recent Paris ready to wear shows, Vuitton presented the collection of by- gone inspired fur drenched collections off none other than a train station ,and the models all departed the train to a stunning reception.

Marc Jacobs garners his inspiration from multiple areas creating a new look for each collection but all his collections have an uber feminine feel making him one of the top female designers of the moment.

So i hear you ask what has this man to do with us when all you have is a few pairs of Marc Jacobs sunglasses in the reduced section?.... well, patience my fellow Judges' as I am happy to announce that i have gone and done it.... yup ,I have snapped up a veritable selction of the lovely Marc Jacobs eyewear so you can be right in there with all fashion's hottest.

So if you tired of Chanel , fed up of Fendi then look no further than the designer Marc Jacobs shades for this season's statement.

Simply update your look, wardrobe with some of these beautys

For now, Judges I have my own carousel to ride and a whole lot more blogging to do to keep you hungry lot from chomping at the bitt

For now take care and keep em' peeled
