Another great Sunday of TV for the petrol heads amongst us this weekend with a controversial F1 race at Germany, probably the best ever episode of Top Gear paying tribute to Ayrton Senna, and an enjoyable MotoGP race from Laguna Seca.
Back to the F1 racing, I couldn’t help but notice the current World Champion Jenson Button was wearing a rather cool pair of thick rimmed Aviator sunglasses (that don’t seem to be the usual Ray-Bans we usually see Jenson wearing) but these are not a pair I...

A pair of designer sunglasses has always been a sure-fire way of aspiring to celebrity style if you’re a secretary from Sutton rather than a movie star from the States but you might want to double check you’ve picked the right look. Lindsay Lohan has favoured a pair of Ray-Ban Clubmasters on her recent court appearance to take the long-overdue rap for her out-of-control behaviour. She looked pretty cool on her way in and they were certainly useful to hide the tears as...

Prof. Brian Cox may be incredibly intelligent, but what is he doing putting his Ray-Ban sunnies down in the sand of the Namib Desert? And if that's not bad enough he then puts them lenses down in the sand where they were no doubt SUBAR (scratched-up beyond all recognition).

A few of us here are avid gadget fans (we won’t admit to being geeks now, well maybe just a bit) and love to turn on the TV after a day at the office and sit down to watch Suzi Perry and Jason Bradbury on Channel Five’s The Gadget Show on a Monday night. Aside from all the latest fantastic gadgetry we get to take a look at, we also get to see the fashion conscious Jason “God among geeks”...

Cheryl Cole, one of the girls from the successful girl group Girls Aloud, took to the stage last night to perform 2009s 4th best selling single and Brit nominated “Fight For This Love” at the 2010 Brit Awards wearing the Ray-Ban 3026 Aviator Sunglasses in ‘L2846 Arista’.
I deliberately used the word ‘perform‘ in place of ‘sing‘ as it was quite possibly one of the worse cases of miming I’ve ever witnessed, and for someone that sits amongst a panel of judges and criticises...

We’re pretty big sports fans at SelectSpecs and two years ago we were glued to our TV screens as we had our most successful Summer Olympics in 100 years at Beijing. London 2012 couldn’t come soon enough in our eyes, but in the meantime we’ve been enjoying the Winter Olympics in Vancouver just as much, even if Team GB aren’t likely to do so well in these Winter events. I would suggest that we don’t get the snow in this country, but lately it seems the...

Here on the SelectSpecs blog we write a lot of posts about celebrity glasses but so far we’ve neglected their cartoon cousins. There have been so many awesome cartoon characters that wear specs over the years – here is our selection of some of the best ones that we’ll always remember with fond nostalgia…
1. Hans Moleman (The Simpsons)
Without doubt one of the funniest Simpsons characters, Hans Moleman’s awesome powers of feeble ineptitude undoubtedly stem from his super thick (and frankly pretty useless) goggle-eye...
