Oakley Sunglasses – Intense and Fierce Oakley Attitude!
Oakley Sunglasses
Oakley sunglasses are definitely the crème de la crème of sports/fashion sunglasses. The choice of many an athlete including Lance Armstrong and Jake Blauvelt and celebrities such as Elle Macpherson and Matt Damon, Oakley sunglasses offer incredible eye protection, maximise visual performance and never fail to look stylish in the most cutting edge and dynamic way possible.
Oakley is a favourite with men and women but the recent collections have expanded on the styles for ladies and are made to fit and compliment the female face structure for functional and aesthetic purposes. The Forsake style for example, has an incredibly sharp design and is reminiscent of the shape of a scaled down pair of goggles, but in a cool sunglass style. The Forsake sunglasses are perfect for every lady who has an active, on-the-go attitude and lifestyle and the design is available in a range of different colours and patterns and also incorporates the unique Oakley Polaric Ellipsoid lens technology and O 
Matter frame. These are the ultimate pair of sunglasses that will always see you top of your sporting or style game!
The new Trouble Oakley sunglasses are also designed for women and feature contemporary styling which make a statement and definitely allow you to stand out from the crowd! The Oakley Three-Point fit system also holds the large visor style lenses in precise place, providing comfort, maximum eye protection and glare reduction. The perfect choice if you are seeking a pair of sunglasses that you will likely be wearing them for a long duration of time.
The new Tightrope style is a design for men and is a great example of Oakley’s ability to create effective, functional sunglasses that are still lightweight and with a strikingly sleek aesthetic. With slim frames and arms and small lenses, the Tightrope comes in a variety of summer inspired colours (lenses and frames) and combines sporty style with street style and performance with polish. Again, the unique Oakley high tech features such as HD Polarized lenses and XYZ Optics are incorporated into this style, allowing for the ultimate visual clarity, peripheral vision and protection. A great option if you are looking for something extra stylish with added performance.
The X Squared Oakley sunglasses convey the typical Oakley character and attitude that has earned the brand its iconic status and respect. A further style for 
men, these sunglasses look like they have come direct from an action hero film and feature some of the most advanced technologies ever to hone light rays. As quoted by Oakley the X Squared is ‘ for those who defy the architects of life and put up their own blueprint’. The lenses are coated with a formula that fights smudges from skin oils and lotions, and also repels dust. A slick, lightweight and sharp style with strong angles and definition, the X Squared shows you mean business!

On the Move With Oakley. Oakley Sunglasses.
If you are seeking the perfect pair of sporting quality sunglasses, look no further than Oakley. Originally designed for solely sports purposes, the range over the past two years has become incredibly on trend yet still remains true to its sporting roots.
Some of the most popular Oakley frames include the M frame, Half Jacket, Custom M , and Juliet. Another high tech Oakley addition for this season is the Oakley Thump MP3 player sunglasses, which incorporates
an MP3 player within the design. Oakley as a brand is renowned for pushing design boundaries and anticipates the wearer’s needs or desires. Similarly some of the new frames also offer a blue tooth feature enhancing the ‘always on the go’ vibe of the brand. The range of Oakley frames available and the fact that they are budget friendly means that when you want to diversify your look, it is easy to do so as the brand also offer a huge variety of lens colour options.

Their innovative design maintains visual clarity from all angles of view making them outstanding eyewear.
Oakley prides itself on maintaining loyalty and is definitely more of a lifestyle brand as opposed to solely for
the purpose of style and fashion. Most people who own a pair of Oakley sunglasses will likely stick to the brand because they like what it represents. Oakley also offers a service whereby you can customise your frames (this service is available via Shadestation) including the lens colour and lens etching meaning that your shades can be completely unique to your style and needs.

Pucci love. Pucci Sunglasses.
Pucci is a bit like marmite, you either love it or you hate it. Renowned for their swirling, colourful patterns, a Pucci print is an ’in yer face’, ‘take me as I am’ style statement for bold, confident women and men. Unlike other fashion houses whose designs are often hard to tell apart, Pucci is distinctive and instantly recognisable and this is it’s beauty and strength.
Often thought of as a summer, beachwear label, you may be surprised to hear that Pucci’s first foray into the fashion market was designing skiwear for image concious Europeans in the 1940s! By the Fifties Pucci was a household name and famous women of the time from movie stars like Sophia Loren to the style icon Jackie Kennedy were all seen sporting the Pucci pattern. Indeed Marilyn Monroe was buried in a Pucci dress.
From the Fifties to the present day, stylish, informed women have always chosen Pucci. Victoria Beckham, Kate Hudson and Nicole Ritchie are all big fans of the print, as are a host of other A-listers who are often to be found shading their peepers from the sun with the latest Pucci models… these women include Elle Macpherson, Mandy Moore, Oprah Winfrey and Brooke Shields.
Almost always oversized, with a unique arm, sporting a slightly paired down version of the classic pattern and generally a coloured frame, Pucci shades look chic, elegant and sexy. Quite simply, I defy you not be smitten once you’ve set eyes on a pair of Pucci sunglasses, they’ve certainly stolen my heart!
Return of the Spartans
It could have been dismissed as last season’s trend, but the Gladiator sandal has continued to make its mark in the category of must-have summer sandals.
At the start of spring it was all a bit touch and go, and those of us who’d bought into the foot fashion last summer were unsure as to whether we should be slipping our feet back into our Spartan sandals or if we were expected to steer clear. But then, as if by magic, the celebrities started stepping out; paving the way and continuing to stamp their approval on the Roman revolution.
Rather than an array of flats though, this season, footwear designers have pulled out all the stops and we’ve been plied with knee-high straps, tassle-tastic embellishments, leather discs, rope plaits and most shocking of all – high heels!
One celeb who can’t get enough Gladiator glory is Miss Gwyneth Paltrow. From Giuseppe Zanotti flats to sky high Givency ankle boots, her tootsies haven’t seen the likes of a filled-in shoe for quite some time. Also keen on the Colosseum craze are Kate Moss, Lindsay Lohan and Sienna Miller to name a few, and just last week Elle MacPherson was seen dropping her kids off at school in a pair – true model mum behaviour.
If you’re keen to put your best foot forward in some thongs, take into account your size and shape. If you’ve got long legs, you’ll be able to pull off the knee high styles no problem, but if you’ve got slightly shorter legs, a lower pair will be more flattering. Then it’s up to you to mix and match them with jeans, dresses and shorts – all of which work a treat with the trend. Colour-wise, metallic shades add to the Mediterranean look, but black and brown versions also add versatility.
The motto of the sandal season then – wear them high or wear them low, just make sure you invest in a pair of Gladiators if you want to keep your footing in the style stakes.
