A date with Dior

Well Hello Judges,

The weeks are flying by, and all moulding into one. This week so far we have had the nail biting England match and I hate to admit it, but Italy, you were the better side...well done!. Queens club was controversially closed due to David Nalbandian shocking the crowds and injuring one of the linesman with the sponsor boards. Wimbledon has just started, and surprise, surprise...the weather is holding out...so far. Royal Ascot has been and gone, and have to say thank god for the Daily Mail's fashion coverage of some of the state's of dress ...thanks to the new dresscode...... blue spandex and fake boobs look questionable in what is supposed to be a classy affair.

Talking of a class date, we are all looking forward to is the first show by Dior's new man in place Raf Simons. The rumour mill is already wondering and spouting off what the inspiration for his collection will be, and if he will carry it off. Personally, I think Raf will do a sterling job. He has an affinity for design and he will take the Dior back to it's true ethos with his usual modern interpretation .

The Dior sunglasses collection this season is inspired namely by retro shapes , and subtle colours and the staple classic black. Cat's eyes and big shapes are the staple in many collections but Dior are doing what they do best and revisiting the past and spinning it with the new colours. The nude colours are a particular success and the red in Les Marquises Dior Hatuaa are second to none and currently your most favourite and Vogues favourite retro frame.

Dior homme Black tie collection sunglasses mix masculine frames with upfront fashion and a mix of old styles in strong masculine colours. My personal favourites are the Dior black tie 120s. Jay Z is a massive fan of both the black tie collection and Bottega Venetta sunglasses . If it's good enough for Mr Beyonce then it's good enough for us Judges.

Gucci is attracting a host of the new blood in the style stakes .Robert Pattison, and Spidermans Emma stone both stunned at premieres and R patt's is on the phone to headquarters for his red carpet style tips and of course freebies. Also Gucci have never failed in the style stakes and are classic and made of the highest quality materials for the classics you know you can count on Gucci. So look at our Gucci sunglasses on www.sendoptics.com.

For now Judges' , thank you so much for reading and also for those of you who like us on 'send optics' facebook page.

For now Judges stay cool and keep 'em peeled

Sir Paul Smith takes over the world!.....

Hello Judges,

How the devil are you on this fine day, all good I hope !

Well here at the optician's I have to say we are maxed out on Sunglasses .For once we have taken full delivery of all this years stock and are pleased with the results. For yet another year looking back to what I ordered late last year it appears the Judge's eye was right with the choices. A fellow Optician is reporting slow sales and is wishing he had got on the Bottega Veneta sunglass wagon before it left last year. You Judges seem to know what you like on the website ...we are having a flurry of orders coming through from Europe and London for Balenciaga sunglasses and Bottega Veneta sunglasses .....the fashion capital knows it's stuff.

Still popular are Stella McCartney sunglasses,Oliver peoples sunglasses,Dior sunglasses,Miu Miu sunglasses and Paul Smith sunglasses . Hence the title to this blog.

Paul smith seems to hold no boundaries when it comes to his massive empire. Recently Paul Smith announced and launched his collaboration with British Surf label Swami, not only that but his store in the big apple on 5th avenue celebrated it's 25th birthday. Seems the U.S. still have an affinity for us Brit's and our style.

Most recently though Sir Paul celebrated another coupe with the opening of his store in Amsterdam. Holland appears to love us all too. Paul Smith's S/S12 latest menswear collection incorporates Psychadelic prints with traditional tailored twists the collection is a man's dream and with the latest Paul smith sunglasses collection remaining transparent or in strong neutral or monochromes there is no chance these will take away from this vibrant style only compliment it.

Nottingham born Paul Smith not only still loves his home town but does various collaborations with the local council including branding and design of product for their visitors. I love Paul Smith Eye wear and have several pairs of sunglasses and prescription ophthalmics.

I am off to don my stripey scarf and close up for the day, so Judges keep 'em peeled !

Remember discounted designer sunglasses new home is sendoptics.com

Stay safe and look out for another blog in a day or two

Keep 'em peeled,

The Judge

Dior has a best new look this season.

Well the rain and cold are hitting us hard again fellow Judges,

I hope the week is treating you well and that Easter was not a total washout ? I am sat here typing away in a freezing flat ...and to compensate, I have a brandy and a slice of Carluccio's Easter cake. I can assure you Judges, it is a hard life... and this blogging makes a writer a tad peckish.OK ,I am just a greedy guts....put chocolate in front of this Judge and I'll snatch your hands off. Revels are my downfall ..... either that or Reece's pieces.

So enough of chocolate and cake, and onto good old Adele. Karl Largerfeld recently called her fat, and to apologise he has taken to sending her numerous Chanel bags and accessories to make anyone jealous. Karl, you can call me anything you wish.....just send me some of your new shoes!

Mind saying that I have thought of late the Chanel collections have lacked a certain' wow' factor and Mr Largerfeld has let himself slip a little, and is not paying attention to the likes of Bottega veneta who may to some of you be a new kid on the block ,but the quality and design that go into their products put them up amongst the likes of Chanel and Dior.

Talking of the House of Dior , it seems all is still a little uncertain, whilst waiting for the announcement of the new creative director, names bandied about previously were Marc Jacobs and Raf Simmons ...alas neither have been crowned with the accolade and Jacobs will continue with his relationship with Louis Vuitton... .My tip will be a newcomer from Britain or Paris or maybe someone who would make an ideal king of couture ....Tom ford perhaps.

Dior sunglasses this year in my opinion have not only created a simply stunning collection of Sunglasses this season with Cat's eyes, massive big frames and aviators a plenty but not only that a collection named ' Les Marquises ' an offshoot of the main collection but marry's it altogether in perfect harmony.

The Dior sunglasses collection can only be described as pure class and includes gold, silver , nudes, black , brown and of course Dior's obligatory black.

So ladies, if you wish to look classic, on trend or just love great design Dior shades are this season's safe bet for finishing off any summer look.

I look forward to hearing your comments on the changes on www.sendoptics.com .

Keep 'em peeled,

Take it easy The Judge

Black tie colection....the best for men from Dior.

Hello and Good Evening,

Well the Bank hoilday weekend is nearly upon us and it looks like it will be a total washout. Scotland is as usual having two seasons in one day with Sun and Snow. I have already eaten enough chocolate to sink a battleship and can't face another hot cross bun.

I am thinking on my Monday off I may pop over to have an amble about in the peak district but if the weather carries on much like this then I will be staying home and cracking on with even more website or blog stuff to keep you hungry Judges entertained in the future.

So for you lovely judges that love to read my blog I am also becoming a dab hand with facebook so join me on send optics and like the content to follow me and my little quips on a quicker format.

You all may have been looking at the Dior's and wondering what the Black tie collection is all about ...well in simple terms, for you fans of high quality French style then look no further. Dior's black tie collection is the highest in the style stakes for men. The simple shapes are limited but designed for all face shapes in mind.

Men you only need to think one thing when you think sunglasses, think nothing more than Dior hommes sunglasses.

As Amy winehouse sang 'it's time to go back to black 'and think discount Dior sunglasses.

Judges remeber sendoptics is the home of discounted designer sunglasses

Happy Easter

keep 'em peeled,

The Judge

Bvlgari me!....What a scorcher!

Phew Judges,
What a corker of a day the sun has really been beaming through the windows today. We have had so many in the shop today looking and buying Sunglasses it has made us all a little weary at the end of the day. I have a huge smile on my face from being so busy, but no rest for the wicked and on with the today tasty titbits.
Where are my manners... how the devil are, you my fellow style police? Have you been busy or relaxing, getting out and about in this fine weather? I have been pottering about on the decking and even sat outside with a nice glass of red yesterday evening enjoying the warmer nights. The heating has firmly been switched off now, so please stay with us for a bit longer.
You may have noticed that little old me has passed on a little gift to keep you all happy you may have noticed a rather hurried image that has been placed in the banner reel and button on the right. For those of you that just go straight for the products, I will explain.
The image states up to 20% off sunglasses and that is simple as that all sunglasses now have a minimum of 17.5% off the rrp, in effect what I am doing is paying most of the the v.a.t for you in the UK and for you overseas you will not be missing out on the discount I can assure you. (As soon as I have finalised this and a clear way to explain it I will post the full terms on the site). For the time being ,just drop myself an email via the contact us and I will tell you how this works.
The saving is not the only thing I will be giving you either with every pair of sunglasses you will be offered the choice of either a lens care kit or spectaloop a new magnetic way of carrying you sunglasses.
No it's not a gimmick from now on this discount will remain and the choice of gift.
Whilst I am talking of money and Sunglasses some of you are already clued up on the labels we stock but allow me a moment to tell you about Bvlgari sunglasses. The house is not Russian but Italian as many think. The house is older than Chanel and Dior yet remains almost a secret with those purveyors off quality. Bvlgari eyewear this season takes inspiration from coins and the collection is based on simple colours and varied shapes big and small.

So all I can say for now is enjoy the discounted sunglasses from now a gift from us at send optics so tell your friends, hell tells your frenemies tell the world.

Gucci, Gucci, Coupe....

Hello fellow Judges,

I hope you are all well and rested. We here at http://www.sendoptics.com/ are finally recovered from keeping abreast of all the latest fashion news and also fashion weeks. We enjoyed London for its usual cutting edge style that keeps Brittania ruling those waves, New York for its Modern corporate look, Paris for its Luxury two fingers up to the economic backlash and my personal favourite was Milan.

Italians do, do it better that is for sure the Milan fashion week has two faces these are Saturday night favourites Dolce & Gabbana, Prada, and the breathtaking Miu Miu collection which was the usual riot of color and print. The collection would of made many don there sunglasses.The young, fashion, on trend and forward thinking style mobs loved all of these labels collections. It was for Milan a truly exciting time and forgetting like other fashion packs the depressing economic cut backs.

As polar opposites to these you have the mature grown up power pack of Milan that still dominate the fashion magazines with their multiple lines and even hotels. Labels that helped shape the Italian look from back in the seventies include Giorgio Armani, Prada and of course the label on everyone's lips at the moment Gucci. The label saw itself back to it's true self simple shapes, effortless glamour, and a massive smattering of graphic block prints how could they have failed.

At http://www.sendoptics.com/Gucci.html the usual styles of aviator, big styles and angular sunglasses rule the collection and update any wardrobe to look like a gucci ambassador for style. Color is a massive inclusion to the collection this time with berry and nudes and lashings of Platinum and gold.

We love the fantastic reinvention of the collection and the subtler logo still present but not as prominent the famous Interlocking G

So you as the Jury it is upto you to let us know what you think of the new Gucci collection in relation to the other wonders we have to offer.

Have a great couple of days, until next time Keep on judging and keep em peeled

And the winner is.....

Good day my fellow Judges,

I hope you are all fine and Dandy! Looking forward to the weekend … Here at Sendoptics.com we have been busy of late, what with the Fashion shows for A/W 2012 shows, customers coming into the shop looking at the new collections of optics and sunglasses. We have lots of great comments about our selections.

Well unless you have been living on the moon or in some far off country you may not be aware that it’s that time of year! Yup you Judges its awards time; we have already had The Grammy’s, The Bafta’s, The Mobo’s and recently we have had The Brit’s. The biggest award of the film world is upon us and the star’s of the big screen have been eating lettuce and bleaching and blitzing their bikini lines. Begging and stealing from any designer that is the one to watch.

The films are the obvious stars in the Oscars and they earn massive credence to popular and more art-house films also. For the past few weeks we at Judges Opticians have in our own time been enjoying some of the films our local cinemas have on the screen.

Well the firm favourite is ‘The Artist’ set to sweep the floor at the Oscar’s with multiple wins across the board. The film had us in awe set to a backdrop of the silent film industry in the transition of changing over to ‘talkies’. The film pay’s homage to Hollywood’s glorious hey days of the glamour and glitz of the 30’s. The stars would look equally at home in today’s styles the leading man Jean Dujardin would not look out of place in Oliver peoples sunglasses. The Starlet that looks so beautiful in everything she could easily go back in time and slot straight in to the silent era with the most beautiful features and expressive faces on film would look stunning in Miu Miu .

Another hopeful is ‘The Help’ which is set against a background of the changing political landscape of America and the changing attitude toward black housemaids in the civil rights era. The Star Viola Davis who plays one of the maids is up for an Oscar for best supporting actress and we think to finish the 60’s inspired look of Prada would look great on her.

Obviously we are loving ‘Warhorse' Speilberg created a masterpiece in this film and treated the subject with a great human story alongside a backdrop of the blood and squalid conditions of the first world war. The film itself is described as an epic and is deservedly recommended for various different award categories. The owner who is a young soon to be soldier played by Jeremy Irvine would look great in Paul Smith

The British made spy drama ‘Tinker, tailor, soldier, spy’ this is made in true Brit-flick all grit and in true sharp dressed elegance. The story itself is a classic and is known as one of the best spy dramas ever. The film has one of the best British casts to be seen in many a year. The cast as a whole would look fantastic in Dior homme any of the men would look great in these.

So we will be there on Oscars night with our popcorn and fake awards to see whether our Judgement on the films that are already held in high regard win their just rewards.

Keep ‘em peeled Judges,

What's the fuss about with Christian Dior Homme?

What’s all the fuss about with Christian Dior homme?

Well, it’s a cold and real frosty day as we sit and write the next installment of the blog for you hungry lot. We here at sendoptics.com have been receiving some great feedback and the Judge is really enjoying your kind words and constructive criticism. Trust us, we are taking this all on board to make a brighter and better experience for you savvy shoppers.

We are still getting regular deliverys of the new stock and are scheduling time to photograph and write up descriptions, trust us when we say this, it does take a lot of time and even more Ibropfrofen.

Facebook is finally gaining momentum with us joining lots of fanpages, and people waanting to be our friends (oh to see our popularity gaining it does make the Judge’s day…)

So one of the comments we received from a few gents was that the recommendations and also the information on the majority of the blogs seemed aimed at the ladies, so from now on we will be trying to rectify the matter by incorporating a happy medium. This one guys is especially for you, and we will do a blog especially for you every other week.

So whats new for the Gent in the know?!

Well, in 2001/2002 the little known Dior menswear range quickly grew to cult status catapulting the Dior menswear range back into the limelight. Under the creative direction of Belgium born Heidi Slimane who completely changed the direction and created waves in menswear by recreating the current silhouette. His collections were based on rock icons and the Berlin club scene. The silhouette he created was svelte almost androgynous. Cut with the precision of a surgeon.

Stars were lapping up the collections as soon as they hit the catwalk and the likes of Brad Pitt, David Beckham, Mick Jagger ( Slimlane must of surely used Mick as one of his icons along with Iggy Pop) Kanye West and Lenny Kravitz (the god himself) were at the forefront of the skinny smart revolution. Slimlane has been quoted to say ‘I thought the look would only last a season or two’. The look itself has influenced the new wave of skinny jeans and created persona’s for the likes of Russel Brand and many a boyband. High fashion traditionally takes anywhere between two to three seasons in traditional fashion to filter through to the masses, but with consumer demand this has now been reduced to a season ot most.

So why are we telling you about Christian Dior homme?…Well go to www.sendoptics.com homepage and look on the list of designers, you will note the introduction of the Black Tie collection. This range is designed for the man who is classic yet fashion conscious but not governed by trend alone; the Black Tie collection is all of these and more. Made from quality materials they are sure to get you noticed. The images are taking a little while but have no fear, they will be up before you know it…….

Keep them peeled,
