Lady Gaga has found a new favourite pair of sunglasses and we absolutely love them too!

We all know that Lady Gaga is like Marmite, you either love her or you hate her, but whichever it is surely you can’t help but be intrigued by some of the wacky outfits she comes up with.

While we may love the drama of Lady Gaga’s ever-changing look…it’s a high maintenance and OTT style for us to try to work in everyday life right?  After all, no one is going to be turning up at the WantSunglasses office wearing an outfit quite like this…

We might however be rocking these sunglasses to get a touch of the Gaga look… With an acetate frame, and an added metal rim detail, it is easy to make reference to Gaga’s new favourite and give a nod to her look of the moment.

Don’t miss the Giorgio Armani GA773 sunglasses, new on site this very week!!

Thanks to a complete redesign, the website looks hot to trot!

With all the best of the new designer collections up and online from the likes of Marc Jacobs, Alexander McQueen, Gucci, D&G and Yves Saint Laurent, we are here to help you complete the perfect winter look.  Accessorise your oh so trendy camel coat with the latest Balenciaga beauties, or team your beloved shearling aviator jacket with the infamous Ray-Ban Aviator.  Let WantSunglasses be the ones to provide your finishing touches this season.

Don’t be fooled into thinking that now the summer has passed there is no call for sunglasses.  Low sitting sun and road glare are still good enough excuses to get the Pradas out and, let’s face it, us girls (and I’m sure you boys are the same) really don’t need much excuse to ramp up the glamour factor in any situation.

Also, launching in the next couple of weeks at WantSunglasses is our range of Oakley ski goggles.  Taking a fashionable jaunt to the piste to try out your D&G winter warmers?  Why not make Oakley your choice de jour when it comes to your ski goggles?  The Oakley Stockholm is the perfect choice for any female taking to the slopes for ski season.  With Oakley, you can trust that they know exactly what they’re doing when it comes to keeping you safe and comfortable, so all you have to worry about is the fabulous outfit you’ll be wearing underneath your ski gear.

Also, for those moments spent dining and relaxing at the peak of the piste, you’ll need some super stylish sunglasses to keep up with the Jones’s and keep that nasty snow glare out of your eyes.  All of our sunglasses are 100% UV protective and we have a great range of polarized sunglasses which are superior at blocking glare.

Take your stylish steps with WantSunglasses this Autumn/Winter season.

Chile’s President has praised the rescue efforts and has declared that his country will never be the same again after this extraordinary event.  President Sebastian Pinera has said that he feels Chile is now “more united and stronger than ever” and “more valued” worldwide.

This can’t be doubted after seeing the ecstatic scenes of the final miner to be rescued, Luis Urzua, emerging into the light and out of the rescue shaft capping off a 22 hour operation.

While they are showing signs of ill heath, not one of the miners is in a serious condition which is amazing seeing as no one has ever survived as long trapped underground.

One of the aspects of the rescue that was vital to their health was the donation of Oakley sunglasses to protect their eyes upon emerging into the light.  Oakley were approached about donating sunglasses and were only too honored to be able to assist in any way that they could.  Oakley provided 35 pairs of Oakley Radar sunglasses that are designed to minimise heavy glare.

The single lens shield is a wraparound style that uses the darkest lens with a grey base and black iridium coating which would serve to help the miners’ eyes adjust to bright light after being dilated so long.  The Oakley Radar sunglasses are typically used for high performance sports and feature an exterior hydrophobic coating that would have prevented water, mud, oil and dust from building up on the surface as the miners were hoisted to freedom.

There is concern for the miners’ sight and the possibility of damage to the retina.  After being in the dark for a long period, the mechanisms by which the retina protects itself from damage from bright light can diminish.

Lets hope that the Oakley Radar Sunglasses were of some help to the miners’ sight, only time will tell.

Even Philip Schofield has been giving his verdict on last weekend’s X Factor and more specifically Nicolo Festa’s performance and sartorial choices.  Speaking on This Morning, Philip said,

“Well I think it was a mistake to put glasses on him. If anyone ever comes here as a guest and has sunglasses on, we try very politely to ask them to take them off, because you don’t get to see their eyes. There is a real barrier there.”

As much as we love the look, there’s a very good point there.  Why put up barriers to the audience when you need them to vote you through the show?  Strange choice in hindsight and probably not one that any more of the contestants will be trying anytime soon.

What do you think?

Super cool music mogul Kanye West has been flexing his fashion muscles bit by bit over the last couple of years and has become a regular fixture at the seasonal fashion weeks. Kanye knows how to exercise his fashion credentials to perfection in these bad boy sunglasses from Gucci.  You’ve got to look stylish when you’re an all-rounder like Kanye.  Not content with dominating the music world and forays into designing for the likes of Louis Vuitton, Kanye has directed and starred in a short film to accompany his new album.  This man doesn’t stop

Still, at least he’s got the Gucci sunglasses of the moment to keep him on the ball when it comes to looking good.  The Gucci GG 1627 sunglasses are sexy frames for any man this season.  The acetate frame with the classic Gucci racing stripes add a great twist to the traditional aviator.  It is hard not to be charmed by Kanye West’s mix of dapper style and urban street cred.  It’s a combination that not many people can pull off with such aplomb so hats off to him.

We all know about Kylie Minogue The Fashionista.  Loved by Dolce & Gabbana, Karl Lagerfeld and Jean Paul Gaultier to name a few, you wouldn’t expect to be able to afford any of Kylie Minogue’s designer accessories.  Well, don’t be too quick to assume.  Here Kylie Minogue is sporting the very affordable Carrera Panamerika sunglasses, all be it with Christian Louboutin boots and an Yves Saint Laurent handbag!

The sunglasses are definitely hot to trot and look great on the pint-sized Princess of Pop.  Borrowing their shape from the now infamous Carrera Champions (a favorite of Lady Gaga and Christina Aguilera) the Carrera Panamerika makes a statement with its glossy finish makes sure that you’re still getting a touch of luxury.  A touch of Kylie Minogue style luxury that is available for under £80 at WantSunglasses!

While us busy bees at the WantSunglasses offices reserve judgement on Nicolo Festa’s X Factor 2010 one and only performance over the weekend, we can unequivocally say that we love Nicolo’s choice of Red Ray-Ban Wayfarers that he was sporting during his rendition of Lady Gaga’s ‘Just Dance’.

Italian born Nicolo Festa was the first X Factor contestant to be ejected from the live finals after polling the lowest number of  public votes.  FYD were also harshly booted off the opening live show as the judges chose to save the wacky Katie Waissel thanks to her rendition of the classic tune ‘Don’t Let Me Down’ by The Beatles.  Just as Nicolo’s sartorial choices were a hot topic in the WantSunglasses offices this morning, Katie’s choice of outfit on Sunday’s show found much more favour than her futuristic, Gaga-esque look we saw on Saturday’s show.  What a difference a night can make.

Who’s your favourite contestant?  A quick straw poll in the office suggests that Aiden Grimshaw, Matt Cardle and Treyc Cohen are our ones to watch.
