Celeb Watch – New Looks for New Year

Tuesday, January 18th, 2011

Wasn’t the festive season simply exhausting Celeb Watchers? All those hectic days planning our New Looks for New Year, endless partying, speculating on VB’s new maternity range……so much fashion forecasting, so little time…..and then there’s the impending nuptials and our homage to Kate hen night to plan – it’s all happening here at Celeb towers! Meanwhile, we haven’t taken our eye off the ball or the hot looks of our fave Celebs, and we definitely need some new sunnies to disguise the after effects of all those canapés and Krug……

Chloe Sevigny – Looking a bit of a curvy beach babe in Miami in equally curvy sunnies, a bold choice of bikini and deep round frames that accentuate her feminine jawline.

David Tennant – Still our fave Doctor, and time traveling hottie, seen around town with his fiancée (lucky lucky girl!) and sticking with the geek look we know and love.

Victoria Beckham – Everyone’s fave blooming Mummy-to-be (Sorry Amanda Holden!) dressing down and looking cool in LA in a smoky lens Aviator. We cannot wait to see what she comes up with in her next fashion collection now super sized will be the new skinny….

Beyonce – Another bootylcious babe accentuating her curves with a rounded sunnie – must be the must have look for the season. Or maybe she knows nobody is actually looking at the glasses…..

Obviously time to give up the gym and get stuck into the chocs ladies, as we’ll all be needing to pile on the pounds to get the shape of the season. Two weeks into New year and we actually get a resolution we can stick too……

Celeb Watch – The Big Chill 2010

Saturday, December 18th, 2010

This weather is simply ridiculous for words Celeb watchers – our Louboutins are too precious and our Jimmy Choo wellies too delicious to even think about setting foot outside the door. We’d be less graceful than Widders if we hit the High Street, and with no Anton to hold us up. Thank heavens for the net, and 24 hour shopping from the comfort of the sofa. One good thing about the weather – low sun means danger when we do get back behind the wheel, so some yummy sunnies are a must…………and this week we’ll be working our plastic on some black plastic if we want the Celeb look……..

Angelina Jolie – we are so not speaking to Ange – living with luscious Brad and now she’s been on set in Venice with Johnny Depp!!! The unfairness of it all!! And of course she’s totally beautiful, and wearing a very covetable pair of huge sunnies, round black plastics, presumably all the better for looking at Johnny while Brad can’t see……..

Victoria Beckham – Putting her own spin on the style of the moment, as ever. Now she’s a serious fashionista she can really rock a look. Skinny side huge black plastics with uber cool graduated lenses, for watching where those super high heels go, fabulous VB.

Courteney Cox – her love life might be a bit tricky but her look is perfect – square edged black plastics that suit her face shape to perfection. Ultra dark lenses conceal everything, and Courteney needs a bit of discretion at the moment, with David misbehaving……….

Sarah Jessica Parker – SJP goes her own way with a totally different version, a black plastic wrap- around, great for skiing or whatever she gets up to nowadays in the city! Oversized looks cool on her petite face.

So ditch the metal aviators and Wayfarers, so last month Celeb Watchers………now let’s hope for more snow, sun and sunnies!

Celeb Watch Early Winter 2010

Monday, November 29th, 2010

Oooh- time to wrap up warm Celeb Watchers, the sparkly season will soon be upon us, and thank the good Lord for giving us decorated Jimmy Choo UGGs and rain proof mascara. While we snuggle into our chunky knits and mourn the loss of number one on our most wanted man list (You go Kate –congratulations on finally bagging your very own handsome price!) It’s time to make our Christmas lists. We’ve been really good girls this year Santa baby, so you’re definitely going to bring us just what we want……..that’s one order of Johnny Depp, a side of Brad Pitt, and let’s choose some yummy sunnies to shield us from the nosy papps…..

Victoria Beckham – VB is so having a fashion moment – loving her more than ever right now – the perfect dress, the sleek hair, the pearl encrusted shoes, and what sunnies – from her own collection we presume, huge, black, mysterious, and she’s got David!!! How can one woman be so lucky?!!!!

Cheryl Cole – Aside the fashion blip of the Minnie Mouse hair (Chezza – what were you thinking?!!!) this girl can’t put a foot wrong – a subtle variation on VB’s look, still black and huge, but an interesting angular shape that’s lush with her delicate face shape.

Brad Pitt – Quite frankly even in that beard he still looked scrumptious, so he doesn’t have to work too hard, but in a funky rounded aviator with interesting chunky sides he looked pretty cool.

Olivia Palermo – Tres chic in an overgrown Wayfarer, this is the week for the blackest of black plastics for the girls, in an interesting array of shapes. Nice work Olivia!

Hmmm – no brainer then, a chunky dark plastic it is, but without the Minnie Mouse do and we’re not sure orange is our colour…….maybe we need a slinky blue Issa dress to bag our very own Prince, after all Harry is still on the market……

Celeb Watch Autumn 2010

Friday, September 17th, 2010

Before we totally lock ourselves away in hibernation mode, Celeb watch is working on creating some Christina-like curves ready for winter. We salute you Miss Hendricks, for bringing back the hourglass and giving us an excuse to scoff Belgian truffles! While we await our transformation to Mad Men type Goddess, maybe some Hollywood glamour will spur us on. Let’s see what the Celebs are sporting this week…..

Brad Pitt – Thankfully no longer covered in that dreadful beard, Brad’s now disguised in an oversized Aviator with very retro old gold rims. Good job he looks gorgeous in anything……

Victoria Beckham – Celebrating the launch of her scrumptious new couture collection, chic as ever in a yummy high and deep black plastic with uber cool graduated lenses. You never get it wrong VB!

Colleen Rooney – After a tough couple of weeks Colleen may not be smiling but she is looking pretty sharp in a sleek and minimal Aviator with the darkest lenses seen since Roy Orbison hit town. Chin up Colleen, and stay stylish….

Chloe Sevigny – Still rocking those Ray Ban Wayfarers, and still our best blonde girl. Chloe has the perfect indie style to make even the Wayf look fresh.

Hmmm – we may have to postpone the hibernation to get shopping, loving that look on Chloe. Must not wear ourselves out though or our Christina curves might melt away before we have a chance to get our Zac Posen frocks made…..

Celeb Watch Hello June 2010

Tuesday, June 15th, 2010

It’s jumping June Celeb Watchers! Time to gear up for festivals, Pimms, suntans and maxi-dresses for all occasions. (What a wonderful invention – we may never wax our legs again!) While we wallow in SATC 2 fever and dribble into our popcorn over Aiden and Mr Big – that SJP is one lucky lucky girl, we somehow have to find time to keep an eye on those Celebs for you……

Victoria Beckham – Ok, we’ll never get over our crush on VB, the ultimate icon for die-hard shoppers, so we may be biased, but we’re loving her huge shades with a cool graduated tint.

Kate Winslet – We do admire her spunky British style, but in the way of British style it’s sometimes a little off kilter – take a leaf from VB’s book, Kate, and graduate with honours! The one colour tint is so last year – but nice big square sunnies, top marks for a shape that suits you.

Lady GaGa – Lady G, if we’ve got a crush on Mrs Beckham then it’s true love for you, you never disappoint! It’s hard to concentrate on the eye wear what with the fishnets, crazy hats and big pants, but she’s been rocking a huge Aviator shield. Very feminine on her petite face.

Khloe Kardashian – Taking a leaf our of VB’s book, in a cool and vastly oversized plastic with a graduated tint. Nice brown to honey shading, beautiful against her skin.

So thanks for the inspiration girls, we’re off to shop – check list for festival – Prada silk pumps, tiny shorts, baby wipes, at least six pairs of sunnies, fishnets and telephone hat – high maintenance? Moi?

Celeb Watch Early Spring 2010

Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

What an exhausting week Celeb fans! Having just recovered from the Baftas and making our must have list of hot designer items, this week we’ve been engrossed in the Oscars! The verdicts are in…..Sandra Bullock, perfection itself…..Dame Helen Millen……simply divine….Too many frocks, so little time….maybe for now we’ll content ourselves with some shades to cover the blood shot fashion hound eyes…..

Gwen Stefani – never gets it wrong! Cool and chic in massive sunnies that are a stylish update on the old Wayfarer. Black looks stunning against her white blonde locks.

Victoria Beckham – channelling her inner Audrey Hepburn in a very classy, smoky lens set in a Sixties shaped plastic.

Cheryl Cole – heart broken but gorgeous in an array of sunnies that would put even Victoria to shame!! Our faves were the Aviators, and the teardrop shape is so appropriate this week…

Whitney Port – showing you can do young and edgy by choosing a classic. Looks like the iconic Wayfarer but at Whitney’s age it’s fresh when worn oversized and with this season’s brand new utility trend.

Time to shop then Celeb fans! Go plastic, go huge, go black……and wait for the sunshine to illuminate the star struck!!

Celeb Watch Winter’s End 2010

Friday, March 5th, 2010

We’re exhausted this week Celeb watchers, what with drinking in every detail of the fab frocks at the Baftas and trying to keep up with the news on our face Celeb couples. How divine did Kate Winslet look in her slinky black lace panelled gown? How dreamily delicious was Colin Firth in his gracious acceptance speech? (Totally our new crush, even without the Mr Darcy wet shirt) Then we’re having to cope with worrying about Cheryl, and even Vernon and Tess are causing us stress…only one thing for it…..time to Celeb watch then shop shop shop……

Cheryl Cole – Poor darling, fighting for her love or maybe just her sanity but holding up in the style stakes with some fab hats and very cool bronze Aviators. Perfect colour with her luscious toffee coloured locks, now she just needs to find a perfect man….

Lady GaGa – Ok they weren’t really glasses but how cool was her lace headgear with lace eye mask! She just has to get a mention for being so wonderfully bonkers!

Brad and Angelina – in a show of togetherness even wearing matching Avaitors, and those shades are as out of their sell by date as Brad’s tragic beard. Smarten up man! Then maybe Jen will do the whole world a favour and take you back.

Victoria Beckham – Doing oversized with complete conviction, a huge smoky plastic in a very cool and retro octagonal shape. She may have her detractors but honestly, she never gets it wrong.

Well that’s better isn’t it, some serious style watching puts you right back on track for the must have list for Spring and we’re sure a bit of serious shopping will cheer Cheryl right up. You can’t rely on a man but there’s never heartbreak browsing the rails down Bond Street……

The IGC (The Internet Glasses Company) Awards 2010!

Thursday, February 25th, 2010

With Lady Gaga wiping the board at the Brits and the film world awash with Oscar and Bafta talk, our thoughts turn to a review of who we would give IGC Gongs to, if we had the chance to devote ourselves to such a spectacle…..

Award for Stunning Sunglass Wear – It has to be the great Victoria Beckham, with as many pairs of sunnies as she has Birkins. We love Victoria and her endless hunger for fashion, never afraid to change her look and what she looks through….

Award for Cool Specs Wear – Colin Firth naturally, delicious and sexy in his new film A Single Man. Any fashion icon that promotes eye wear is an inspiration to us speccy four eyes, and we always appreciate great spex!

Award for Best Collection – Christian Dior, for his delicious detailing and exquisite scattering of bling on his ladies frames. Jewellery for the face indeed, even worn by one or two of you with no prescription!

Award for Cool Italian Style – Gucci stunned us with their chic men’s wear, classic lines, cool detail, always on trend. A pleasure to wear and to admire.

Award for the Coolest Spec Case – Giorgio Armani, not content with clean lines, smart details, and super sexy understated style, he even has to produce am amazing  spec case! With tactile material and curves that don’t quit, this case is as desirable as one of his suits.

Award for Services to Economical & Accessible Eyewear – us of course! We offer a fab range of inexpensive but excellent frames, and are major suppliers of varifocals over the net. Hurrah to the IGC – cheap is the new expensive and it’s all thanks to us!

Celeb Watch Late Autumn 2009

Tuesday, November 10th, 2009

Put away those Pumpkin masks Celeb Watchers, it’s time to get into gear for the party season! Sequins and shoulder pads all the way into New Year! But how do we hide the evidence of those heady nights of excess? With our shades of course, so lets take some tips from our Celeb friends – check out their styles this week;

Angelina Jolie – is not having the best of times at the moment, but she looks pretty hot in her ENORMOUS SHADES – the biggest thing in the news since David Beckham appeared in those Armani pants….

Jemima Khan – moving on up from Hugh and radiant with her new man. They looked loved up in their matching shades, gold his and hers Aviators. Very cute!

Sienna Miller – following the fashion pack with massive shades, but going for a sharp square shape. Tints that graduate from dark to pale seem to be in this week, if Sienna and Jemima are the ones to watch.

Victoria Beckham – Hot hot hot with her new, tousled hair, and the darling of the fashion pack now her dresses are a smash hit. She balances her elfin features with a huge black plastic this week, and unlike Sienna she needs that softer, rounded shape.

So don’t panic and think that the lack of Summer sun means you have to pack your shades away with your sunscreen! If it’s good enough for our Celeb girls it’s good enough for you, star watchers! Maybe you should add a dazzling new pair to your Christmas list….

Celeb Watch October 2009

Monday, October 12th, 2009

After the hectic social whirl of London fashion week we’re itching to wriggle our toes out of our Jimmy Choos and relax with some celeb watching – quaffing all those champagne cocktails is simply tooo strenuous. Our fave Celebs were all out and about during fashion week of course, and the delicious Indian summer gave them the opportunity to shine in their sunnies……

Victoria Beckham – the ultimate Celeb and darling of fashion week with her seriously chic collection. Adding a little more edge to her look has worked wonders and she’s now ahead of the fashion pack. To enhance this sharp new image she accessorised with her trademark MASSIVE shades in classic black. Stunning with that gamine crop and her tiny face.

Mary-Kate Olsen – These girls are so cool, and Mary-Kate took her place front row at the runway in very Victoria-esque big square shades, obscuring half her face but nicely balanced by a cloud of golden waves.

Anna Wintour – Crushed under the weight of her enormous Wayfarer shaped sunnies, a little overpowering on her small frame. Still, if it’s one thing Anna does, it’s power…..

Kim Catrall – We are loving the sneaky shots of the new Sex in the City film!! Cannot wait – but peeks at the trends are keeping us going! Kim looked fabulous this week in very big plastic sunnies, but with a neat little twaist of some subtle detail – this girl rocks!

So keep an eye on our Celebs and stay ahead of the pack this season, shoulder pads and shoe boots at the ready, and the biggest sunnies you can find. October will be vampire month – New Moon, True Blood – giving us the perfect excuse to go all goth vampire and Celeb trendy in our shades – two looks for the price of one!
