Too Cool for Pre-School – Babies & Children in Glasses

Thanks to everyone who submitted a photo of their baby or child wearing glasses or sunglasses for our latest competition to win a pair of Cébé Kanga Sunglasses.  There were some brilliant competition entries submitted and our cute-ness gauge topped out at 2,500 quebits of cute-ness before it broke and could no longer produce accurate measurements of cute-ness… needless to say, it was un-measurable.

Here is a selection of entries in no particular order.  It was incredibly difficult to pick a winner from...

Which Glasses go with Which Face Shapes?

Buying glasses can be overwhelming if you go it alone, trying to pick out frames in a busy optician's store can be like trying to buy a wedding gown at a wedding fair.

Justin Timberlake Glasses & ‘The Social Network’ Movie

Checking into Facebook occasionally while writing this blog post about Justin Timberlake and The Social Network movie I notice 'friends' arguing that "Macs are actually better than PC's…" (they are completely wrong by the way, and I've already commented with my 2 cents…), another friend recently 'Checked in to McDonalds', and more friends adding a ton of holiday pictures just to make you feel a tad bit jealous.

Also, 'John Roberts is now friends with Sally Lewis and 10 others', well it seems John is clearly doing better than...

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...
