SPECTACLES

Victoria Beckham to add spectacles line to her growing fashion empire
 Struggling to find glasses she liked to help with her short sightedness and with her accessories proving a hit with critics and the public, designing frames seem to be the next step for Victoria Beckham, who is now collaborating with vintage sunglass designers Cutler & Goss to design prescription glasses

The VB glasses collection will consist of six pieces in three colourways with an overall palette of black, Tortoiseshell, jewel tones, yellow and forest green.  Touches of sepia staining and pearl oyster.

Handcrafted in Italy, metal and acetate frames will cover feminine styles and metal aviators, there will also be Unisex designs.

The optical frames are due out in the UK in the early part of next year.  No stockists have been confirmed yet, but lets hope they make their way to Specsavers.

Marvin Humes of JLS and Rochelle Wiseman tied the knot last Friday, whilst the bride looked beautiful in Vera Wang as you would expect. What is Marvin wearing, he looks like a waiter in that white dinner jacket.

Guys when you are getting married choose wisely, the bride has gone to a lot of trouble to look good for you, you should at least do the same.

GOLD

To celebrate a Golden Jubilee in British Athletics I have awarded myself these gold party courts

                                                                                    Courts by Moda In Pelle at vivaladiva.com
Although a life long Athletics fan it was disapointing after many attempts not to be able to secure a ticket for London 2012, true Athletics fans have been let down by Locog.  I have always dreamt that one day the Olympics would come to London.

My disappointment was soon abated as I proudly watched on tv as team GB collected a haul of gold medals.

                                                  Greg Rutherford Olympic Gold Medalist Long Jump
                                                          Mo Farah Olympic Gold Medalist 10,000m

BOLT

The fastest man on the planet he can run 100m in less than 10 seconds Usain Bolt
is he still the one or will someone take his crown.  Tonights 100m final is promises to be one of the most exciting events at this 2012 Olympics. But watch carefully as it will all be over in 10 seconds.

                                                       Not a stick thin actress or celebrity starved to fit into designer dresses for the red carpet, but a strong healthy body that can run fast and long, throw javelins and shot put, jump high and jump long and when that is over fly like a gazelle over hurdles.

Jessica Ennis is a role model for girls and women of the 21st Century. Go Jess Go!

SLIPPERS & PUMPS

Although killer heels and platforms have been with us for a few seasons as they elongate the leg and make you look taller and are the perfect choice for special occasions and certain outfits, they are not always practical for  busy city girls who have to tube and bus to work.

Here are some flats I've been stepping out in this season to give my bunions a rest.

 IMG-20120801-00052.jpgThese are comfort and glamour all rolled into one, they really sparkle,  its like wearing princess shoes.  The neutral colour will go with any palette.

These flats don't just look like slippers they feel like them as well.
I would wear these on black trouser days with a favourite top and a smart jacket.


IMG-20120802-00057.jpg Invest in some folding slippers in a  satin bag which are great to change into after the party.

Keep some flats at work to change into for high heel days.
Carry heels to work to change into for that hot date after work.
