Rumour has it that Madonna has had a big fall out with Versace!

We have heard it on the grapevine that she is insisting on only wearing Mui Mui Noir sunglasses instead! As we have already reported last month, Madonna was loving the new style, but now she's taken it one step further with only wearing her new fave designer!

It just so happens that The BIG Optician have the exact same sunglasses in store and in stock! Pop down and see how you look with the material girls style!

Anyone watching the recent ITV series The Jury, can't have failed to have admired the Lindberg rimless spectacles worn by Julie Walters.

Julie starred as Emma Watts QC in the compelling, character-based drama screened last week and was wearing a very flattering Lindberg titanium rimless frame with red acetate sides. Lindberg rimless glasses are of the lightest and most comfortable spectacles in the world and are favoured by many celebs and others in the public eye. Since the screening of The Jury we have had lots of enquiries about which frame Julie Walters was wearing.

We are pleased to confirm we are one of Newcastle's few suppliers of Lindberg spectacles and we currently have that frame in stock.

The Big Optician girls have gone crazy with excitement about the all-new Miu Miu eye wear collection.  There were literally screams of joy as the new Miu Miu frames and sunglasses were unveiled to us.  Miuccia Prada has done all the glamorous ladies out there proud.  Her new Miu Miu collection of eyewear is as stunningly different as it is breathtaking.  Her clever use of materials (gold leaf within hand polished acetate in the Noir sunglass range) and 40's inspired styling, makes for a unique and luxury look.  Madonna, the original Material Girl snatched herself a pair to wear at the recent red-carpet launch event, and who can blame her?

We have just received the fabulous Ray-Ban 3447 sunglasses, as worn below by Henry Holland and Pixie Geldolf.  The Ray-Ban 3447 was recommended in The Sunday Times Style Magazine (30/10/2011) as 'THE sunglass frame that suits all faces'.  And believe me, they are absolutely right!

The 3447 is a round-eye, metal sunglass frame, and is a refreshing move away from the ubiquitous Aviator and Wayfarer styles. Fashionistas everywhere are suddenly flocking for this new round-eye look.  Hurry down to The Big Optician, at less than RRP and at a price that includes custom fitting and a comprehensive guarantee, the Ray-Ban 3447 is selling very fast!

We're ecstatic to announce we've just received the new Prada specs collection (as announced we would be on this blog a couple of weeks ago) and they are looking super cool.

We've had a delivery of the best selling Prada frames and they are already proving to be one of our hottest sellers!! The flattering shapes and colours are truly magnificent and for women who crave eyewear that's stylish as well as on-trend, these Prada frames will certainly bring that extra wow factor to any girl's appearance.

Make sure you pop down to try them on for yourselves!
