Well, there is of course American Football. Considered to be the ultimate in razzmatazz, NFL football has swept the nation like Storm Angus. The glitz not to mention the glamour of NFL cheerleaders and all has seen America’s favourite sport cross the pond.

Ultra-Reflective Specs Prove Nightmare For Paparazzi

Simon (SelectSpecs) Leave a comment

We all remember (or some of us do) when she wore that infamous dress made from carnivorous animals. Yet the meatilicious Gaga turned up the heat when she sung about those pesky paps chasing her all over town.

We are not saying that she’s a William Shakespeare in the making. But, she did have a point. And for many celebs from Adrian Brody to Zayn Malik, the paparazzi can prove to be their worst nightmare.

Last weekend’s Glastonbury signals the season of music festivals and hopefully an awesome Summer.  What’s the first thing you need for a music festival?  That’s right, wellies.  But right behind your boots it’s important to be prepared for the harsh English sunshine we’re guaranteed to have.

Rita Ora and Nick Grimshaw were well prepared to protect their eyes in style as seen here on Nick’s own Instagram profile.

We know our blog readers love to help other people find out what sunglasses all the latest celebrities are wearing in the latest movies or down the beach, so we’ve got a challenge for you.

Can you identify these sunglasses worn by Lewis Hamilton? He seems to be in the habit of changing his sunglasses every week lately, so if it helps, the British, Mercedes F1 driver was wearing these sunnies at the Monaco GP at the end of May 2014.

Not only am I excited for the the next Transformers movie, but I’m also massively looking forward to seeing the latest Marvel film, X-Men: Days of Future Past.  Even though I’m beginning to lose count of the amount of X-Men movies made, I’ll be staggered if this is not a worldwide hit with movie fans!

Viewing the trailer (see below) we have noticed a few of the characters wearing either glasses or sunglasses frames…
