Top 3 Best Selling Prescription Glasses for Winter 2012-2013

In our last post – Battle of the Brands, we reported a new challenger to our list of Best Selling Brands.  The battle has really heated up between the top two – Ray-Ban and Oakley.

In this post we break it down even further to show you our Top 3 Best Selling Prescription Glasses for Winter 2012-2013.

1. Ray-Ban RX5184

The New Wayfarer by Ray-Ban is still "The Daddy".  It's been our best selling frame since the day the first man walked...

Battle of the Brands – Ray-Ban Vs. Oakley (Winter 12/13)

We've been looking over our sales figures and have noticed an interesting trend over the course of the Winter, which actually hit a peak in February.  Traditionally, Ray-Ban has always been our best selling designer brand, but over the Winter the gap between Ray-Ban in first place and our second place brand was beginning to close right up.

Towards the end of the month of February for first time ever, Ray-Ban was actually pushed down into second place as our best selling brand.  But who could overpower the...

Lenny Kravitz Wearing Aviator Sunglasses and a Chuffin’ MASSIVE Scarf!!!

Lenny Kravitz was out Christmas shopping in New York this week, wearing a hat, sunglasses and scarf and looking all fashionable and what-not. Who says you can't wear sunglasses in Winter, when the sun is low in the sky?

Lenny Kravitz was wearing Aviator Sunglasses, one of his favourite styles (based on previous sightings).  But its hard not to notice that MASSIVE carpet off-cut he seems to be wearing for a scarf.  That's probably a field-full of sheep that has gone into producing that fashion accessory… The thing...

Kim Sears’ Love of Avaitor Sunglasses

Kim Sears is fast becoming the nations most well known girlfriend (of sorts) off the back of Wimbledon.  Andy Murray's biggest fan (and girlfriend) has become something of a fashion icon of late.  The world's television cameras were pointed at Kim throughout The Championships as she supported Britain's Andy Murray on his way to an historic Wimbledon Men's Final against Roger Federer.

Apparently demand for the outfit she wore during the final has been incredible with people asking for "The Kim Sears Look".  Her fashion sense this year has...

Movies That Wouldn’t Be the Same Without Sunglasses

"You got your hair combed back and your sunglasses on, baby". This breezy lyric, taken from Don Henley's 1985 song "Boys of Summer" is not only part of a nostalgic tune about love, loss and sunny California, but an ode to Ray-Bans. From hit songs and Parisian runways to blockbuster movies, sunglasses might be our salvation against the UV rays of an August afternoon, but more often than not they are hip and cutting edge fashion statements.

In other words, we want our movie heroes and villains (yes,...

Ray-Ban Original Wayfarer London Rare Print Edition – Perfect for The Diamond Jubilee or 2012 London Olympic Games

The classic Ray-Ban Original Wayfarer is one of those iconic sunglasses that everyone recognises and probably half of us even own a pair.  Ray-Ban have always maintained this classic frame in its traditional black as part of their collection, but this is one of those great frames that looks good in any colour.  As such, there are numerous options available.

But it's the Rare Print Editions that that are the real gems to seek out.  These rare prints are limited in quantity and...

New Oakley Sunglasses 2012

Anyone who wears sunglasses - so everyone then - has heard of Oakley.  It goes without saying that Oakley Sunglasses are one of the biggest brands on the market, and way up there in the popularity stakes with Ray-Ban, Police Sunglasses, Maui Jim and the best of the best.

This week we completed a major update to our Oakley sunglasses selection, so if you're looking for something cool, or a bit sporty then make sure you check out our full collection of Men's or Oakley Women's sunglasses, because we have some real quality pieces to choose from.  And don't forget, you can always pop into our store and see what we have there for you to try on in person.

Lets take a look at some of the new additions.

Limited Edition Max Fear Light Oakley Scalpel

This is a great looking pair of sunglasses and suits just about any face, in fact I'm very tempted to go for these myself in the Ducati Edition, or maybe even the Casey Stoner MotoGP Edition - since he's just announced his retirement from the sport, that could make them quite the sought-after pair of collectable sunglasses, no doubt set to increase in value!
