School may be out for summer but the festival season is far from over. Reading Festival – the mother of them all – is still to come at the end of August (27th-29th), followed by Bestival in September (9th-12th), two of the season’s unmissable events.

Now the whole point of going to a festival is to step outside of your comfort zone, throw caution to the wind, follow your heart, not wash, stay up all night – in other words, do whatever you damn well please. However, there are...

Jenson Button Sunglasses @ 2010 German F1 GP – Gucci GG 1907/S

By James - July 26, 2010   |   Celebrity Glasses, Designer Sunglasses   |   3 Comments

Petroleum, engine oil, adrenalin… just some of the things that run through a petrol head and motor sport enthusiasts veins!

Be it 2 wheels or 4, I think there’s no better way of spending a lazy Sunday afternoon than switching the TV on in preparation for either a Formula 1, British Touring Car, or a MotoGP event, nothing can beat watching a group of highly competitive drivers or riders racing wheel to wheel, lap after lap, wringing every last tenth of a second out of their high powered machinery...
