And we look to the stars and see Crystal castles in the air

Well Hello Judge’s!

I hope you are all well and recovered from all the excitement of the Oscar’s. No surprising with ‘The Artist’ trouncing all its competitors to win a whopping five of the Golden devils.

The Artist is a real celebration of the golden era of Hollywood. The outfits the staging and of course the glamour that encapsulated the by gone days, and also probably helped to create celebrity into the entities or gods that they are today (obviously with more class and less need to be on reality programmes)

Well here are at http://www.sendoptics.com/  we have been so busy with all the new stock flying through the door we have been neglecting some of the stars of last year.  So without further ado allow me to introduce a glamorous label. The label really does need no formal introduction.

Of course the title of this blog should help a little if you have no clue, Ok its Swarovski that’s right the company that is famous for paperweights and ornaments actually is now the largest crystal company in the world, they are responsible for supplying accessories and components to most of the biggest Design houses in the world. Collaborating with some of the top worlds top musical talents to create spectacular stage costumes, Madonna, Elton John  (it’s not just on his glasses he likes to sparkle either) , The black eyed peas , Beyonce. Not to mention film collaborations.

The wonder that is Swarovski  is not a new company it began life in 1892 when Daniel Swarovski  developed a machine that created a finer detailed crystal than the traditional hand-crafted methods. The company has had a firm foot on the fashion ladder and in 1975 the company developed the hot fix method that has become the biggest selling non essential fashion component.

This year couture and fashion have been in the collections of both ready to wear and couture sticking two fingers up to the austerity measures governments have forced upon us and festooned fabrics and of course accessories with the elements collection to add that glamour factor and cheer us all up a bit.

Last year was the first year we stocked the Swarovski  range of sunglasses and boy did it pay off....our walk in customers loved it, we heavily featured the range in our Christmas window with people coming to buy for the party season, and on-line you Judges went sparkle mad.

So for this time Judges keep em peeled and if you are feeling a little plain and ordinary look to the stars and think Swarovski

Well I am off to don a pair of crystal shades and listen to some deep purple and go back to the 70’s

So How Do You Choose Your Sunglasses?

So how dou you choose your sunglasses?
Well, welcome back to another fun but informative blog from www.sendoptics.com Here's hoping you are well and enjoying your week so far? The temperature maybe cold but here in the studio we are carefully unpacking more and more sunglasses that we are photographing at a rate of knots! (Many thanks Margaret!). So much so that the poor Judge's hands are all looking like a blur. We have so far updated the Prada female collections... (a few more to be added as well I hasten to add) to include their much talked about "Swing" collection and Miu Miu's "Carte Noire" collection these designer sunglasses are designed with a retro glam feel and are fast becoming the sunglasses for the sophisticate femme fatale to be seen about town in...Be in there first and get www.sendoptics.com 105 discount of rrp.
Now I know some people are probably recoiling at the thought of being seen in something as extrovert as the Prada "Swing" or the Miu Miu "Carte Noire" so we are going to be letting you into a few secrets on how to choose your designer sunglasses and the shapes and styles.
So as you may or may not know there are FIVE FACE SHAPES that we all belong to. We are going to give you some tips on identifying your faceshape and what sort of shape sunglass will best suit you.
1) THE SQUARE - In Gent's this is known as the square jawed, in ladies look no further for the perfect example than the Jackie 'O' who was renowned for wearing big glamourous sunglasses. This look of rounded or catseye shape is perfect for making the squarer face look less harsh. With Gent's you are looking to emphasise the squareness of the jaw so look for sharp angles.
Ladies...Dior Myladydior 5
Diorladycat 1
Stella McCartney SM4016
Gents.........Dsquared DQ0068
Prada SPR 14O
2) THE TRIANGLE - The heart shaped face or for the macho man triangular faces are described as a wider forehead to a tapering chin, and for both ladies and gents sunglasses with a wider bottom line and a curved top line suit as well as the catseye shape and well rounded frames, you ladies are spoilt!!!
Ladies... Dsquared DQ0080
Gents.........Paul Smith Romiley
3) THE OBLONG/LONG FACE - You guys are very lucky in your choices the frames are best to be thick and with large lenses,fashion forward frames and retro or vintage styles but just think BIG and dont be afraid to stand out!
Ladies.........Swarovski Amazing
Gents..........Christian Dior Blactie 120S
4) The ROUND - this is one of the trickier frames to settle on as most people with this shape face are often a little shy and self critical. The best advice for you would be to look for narrow frames that also rise to the temples. Colour can also make a big difference and there are some amazing colours in the collections this year.Also "Tortoiseshell" will add definition whether it be the classic or more fashion based patterns can really make a difference. So our final advice for you is dont be afraid to try something new and daring as everyone deserves to look and feel their best!
Ladies....Diormitza 2
Gents.....Paul Smith Berling
5) THE OVAl - No we don't mean the Cricket Ground smart Alecs!..The shape is often considered the most aesthetically appealing for both men and women. Many artists have chosen their models for this fact. The face itself is a soft sweeep from temple to chin. choosing sunglasses for this shape is relatively painles in fact you have the widest choice as ANY FRAME from sporty styles through to designer frames will suit, it's all a matter of personal taste.
Just remember choose the sunglasses for YOU! Don't always folow the crowd! Make sure they are genuine, we at www.sendoptics.com gaurantee 100% all our sunglasses . The sunglasses should offer UVA/UVB protection. You will also see on a lot of ours we offer prescription glazable option.
Well the lecture is over for today. We hope you find this helpful and informative, and by no means do we say you should not be afraid to experiment with different shapes and styles. Remember...the only real Judge is YOU!!!
Love THE JUDGE xxx

A SPRING IN YOUR STEP.

Well its all go here at Sendoptics.We are currently in the throws of still tidying up the old site and continuing with the improvements. All we can say is a huge thanks to those working on the improvements, your feedback and of course your patience, we never anticipated the changes taking this long but little did we know!! Again, thank-you and please keep those peepers peeled for the new lines soon to be introduced which we cannot wait to present and also to hear your thoughts on....So other than the website what else have we been up to since our last words? Well the sale went down a storm and we MAY be throwing another one sometime again this month or early feb for you to take advantage of the new lines. After hearing all about the film "The Artist"...we decided to potter on over and check out if all the fuss was worth it, and boy was it!. you are thrown into the world of silent film on the roaring 20's inspiring imagery and clothes that you would sell your mother for. The only thing missing on either of the stars were optics for the leading lady Berenice Bejo... she would have definitely have suited a daring pair of Swarovski,Bvlgari or even Miu Miu's new collection though they are based around the 1940's, well fashion does go full circle after all!! As for Jean Dujardin he would have definitely been at home in Oliver Peoples,Paul Smith or Ray-Ban, classic and cool like himself.A must see before it sweeps the oscars.what with the awards season on its way we would like to see who you would award the sendoptics golden specsappeal award to? the person could be dead or alive as long they are proud to be caught wearing specs.what have you got to lose and remember keep them peeled for us and if you see something you think we should be aware of please let us know via (the usual e-mail address).We hope 2012 is going as well for you as it is for us and remember those sunglasses in this winter light and also keep cool whilst it's unseasonably mild.regards, The judge x.
