STYLE WATCH: RYAN GOSLING

Ryan Gosling, the man everybody is talking about / watching at the moment, is sporting the tortoise shell round eye frame in the most handsome manner. Even if you can't get the life and fame of one of the hottest actors at the moment, you can certainly get his look with these new beauties from Jeff Banks. Comes in tortoise shell and black. Good luck!

NEW GLASSES FROM ALEX PERRY

At the moment, we are loving the latest, new glasses designed for Specsavers by Alex Perry.

AP 05 in jet black with sharp metal front, black acetate sides with crystal overlay and diamante studs is perfect for evening as well as for dressy day wear. Works a dream with the structured black suit or with the white dress as a contrast. (Psst. Also available in turquoise)

AP 15s sharp silver version with beautiful filigree on the arms, imbedded in translucent / crystal acetate brings out stunning contrasts of delicate, intricate detailing with a powerful shape. The version in purple has the same filigree detailing on the arms, in gold, but with a gradient purple acetate disappearing behind the ear and it is one of my favorites!

Available in all Specsavers stores in November 2011!

SYDNEY FRAME STYLING EVENT

Me and the lovely Isabelle who was modelling the Gok Wan glasses for me during our Frame Styling tour in Sydney the other day. She looked absolutely stunning in every single pair of them which made my job very easy:-) Plus - she was a dream to work with. Thanks Isabelle for a really nice day!

In this photo (sorry about the quality, just had my little iPod touch with me), Isabelle is wearing the masculine 60s style GW 18 in brown with striped wooden effect acetate - looks awesome with casual wear and jeans but also real cool with a more glamorous outfit and bright red lipstick!

GW 01 and GW 12


GW 18 & GW 14 in Mustard Tips!! Will look awesome with navy blue outfit...


Everyones favorite - GW 04 Black cat's eye


GW 18 with tinted lenses - perfect as sunglasses!


Hairstylist Michael was giving everyone Retro hair for the day to go with the glasses....


... and he even found a pair himself! GW 16 in black flat sheet metal

... and again, every girls favorite was the GW 04 in black or Ivory!


Lovely Make up artist Alison found her favorite too in the ivory GW 04 and she complemented my 50s style hair, by Michael, and GW 02 Ivory white with a bright orange lipstick (Morange by M.A.C)! Loved it, thanks!

And, in case anyone is wondering about my beautiful new purchase in the shape of a gorgeous, flowery silk jacket / blouse - it's from Winter Kate!

MY NEW GOK WAN'S - AND SOME MINGLE PIC'S FROM THE AUCKLAND LAUNCH EVENT

My new, favorite Gok Wan's - GW02 in ivory white. I looove. I wouldn't normally go for white "in your face" but because they are ivory, I actually think they work well with my complexion. And, my new green dress from Veronica Maine created great contrast with ivory glasses, belt and coral (morange) lipstick from MaxFactor. (Thanks Rachael for recommending:-)

Below some mingle photos from the GW launch event and Spectacle Wearer of the Year Awards in Auckland...

THE GW COLLECTION BY GOK WAN

This series of frames with beautiful speckles of blue, brown, green, yellow and pink is a true masterpiece. Especially when caught by the light, the mottled acetate creates the most stunning effects. They come in two different styles, both with key hole bridge; one rectangular version (GW12) and the other one with a rounded shape (GW09).




GW02 comes in satin black, warm grey and ivory white and is one of my favorites with its contemporary shape - but still with a vintage feel to it - slightly rounded edges but intricate arm decor which really captures the characteristics of the early 1900s Art Deco.




GW18 and GW08 in bold acetate with striped wooden effects in black, light brown and charcoal grey and the iconic keyhole bridge, a'la 60s Mad Men style!




GW14 - Bold, rectangular acetate in traditional tortoiseshell and mustard yellow for those who are looking for something a little different...


GW13 - Iconic aviator, 70s style, in jet black and navy blue / warm grey acetate!


GW04 - the iconic 50s Cat's Eyes! Ultra-feminine and a real statement piece in matte, wooden black and ivory white.


GW 17 - beautiful, feminine with Art deco arms

GW07 - soft, feminine shape

GW01 - feminine, angular
