It was not too long ago that watched a bunch of guys on the Santa Cruz beach playing volleyball. Well, that’s nothing really spectacular, but what indeed was striking was that most of them were wearing celebrity brand sunglasses. Now, I know a Gucci from an Armani, and the reason I’m blogging this is I find it so affordable to buy wholesale sunglasses.
I follow celebrity fashion trends very closely, and from what I know, I can tell that the brand name prices are going only one way — UP. Then again, celebrity fashions never go out of style, because they’re always in the news. (My girlfriend wants the sunglasses that Jennifer Garner wore while she (Garner) went grocery shopping. So?)
Now, that makes me believe that there’s a helluva lotsa money there in fashion sunglasses. Brand names. Nobody wants to wear a Swiss-made shade unless it says “Armani” or “Police” on it. And let me give you a tip: If you’re even remotely planning to get into this business, you should remember the statistics. The stats say that wholesale replica sunglasses sell much better than the real thing. The point is, you’re only paying for the name, and your consumer only cares about a temporary appearance, as I said, while playing volleyball. Come on, it’s a celebrity world… brand names and Hollywood.
Still unsure? Check out what what other people have to say about wholesale sunglasses, accessories, designer sunglasses, polarized sunglasses and more.
Summer’s coming. Don’t lose out on that! Check out CTS Wholesale — they sure give you a foothold to kick off your own business selling branded sunglasses. Eliminate the middleman and buy and sell direct from the guys who know it best.

Jude Law is the new face of Dior’s global campaign for Parfums Christian Dior.
And this will be only outside the UK and the US. Huh? Outside the biggest parfum markets in the world? Does it make scents?.. I mean, sense?
Well, while I can’t digest this, industry reports go on to say that until Law starts modeling for Dior, he will still be working on “The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus”, the flick Heath Ledger was on when he passed away.
Law is presently in Vancouver getting ready to film. He will take over for Heath in the Terry Gilliam-directed film, his character also being played by Johnny Depp and Colin Farrell as a tribute to the late actor.
The release schedule for the perfume is not finalized and that means Law can still be seen in the Dunhill ads, which he took up recently.
The grapevine opines that there’s a possibility that Jude could be working with Bond girl Eva Green, who has earlier represented Midnight Poison for Dior in spectacular style.

Well now, this is not really something I should be talking about to very many of my women readers. Then again, over time, reading and writing passionately about celebrities and their inclination when it comes to dresses, I may have something still worthy enough to talk about… or so Zahraine says.
Okay, now, everyone who reads this blog knows I’m in love with Kate Beckinsale, and I think that she’s a goddess. My Zahraine, my girlfriend, doesn’t quite agree with me on that and says she can look as good as Kate when it comes to dresses. Dressing is a matter of taste, she argues, not a thing about 34-24-36. Well, I have my own pattern of thinking what’s stylish and what’s not (my readers will know that I don’t blog what I think is NOT stylish). But Zahraine introduced me to ElegantMart.com, that she swears offers evening dresses to rub shoulders with Kate Beckinsale. Take a look at what they offer:
I have to agree that style and color are the real ingredients of any fashion, and I saw that ElegantMart offers some fantastic high end dresses in styles that are undeniably fashionable. The selection on sexy dresses has a typically elegant appeal.
Looking to impress on first sight? I’m talking about the prom, of course. Check out their selection of heart-stopping prom dresses in spectacular designs if you want to stand a chance of being noticed.
Zahraine says its important that you wear your favorite color and design. That’s the only way you can walk around in a prom feeling like a queen, because that’s what make you comfortable, and be yourself. At ElegantMart, you can check out their backless, strapless or floor length prom gowns.
A final tip from Zahraine: Make sure your date’s wearing the bow and tie that matches your prom dress!
Are you all set for slow dancing? Remember that while color and design make fashion, it’s your confidence that brings it alive!

MTV reality show star Heidi Montag is launching her new clothing line “Heidiwood for Anchor Blue” in partnership with specialty retailer Anchor Blue.
The line, set to hit the stores on April 15, is said to be “fun, sexy and affordable” and features a collection for “a night on the town” or dressed down for “an afternoon at the mall.” Targeted at consumers between 16 and 21 years, the initial fashion line of 13 pieces will consist of tops, graphic tees, snappy shorts and skirt, jeans, handbags and jewelry as well as Heidi’s signature zebra piece, all ranging from $10 to $60.
“I plan to get my hands dirty on this one. This is something I have always wanted to do and Anchor Blue has enabled me to be an integral part of the design process,” said Heidi, 21, who spent a year in Italy studying fashion design. “Each and every piece will have my initial input, feedback and final approval stamped all over it.”
“Heidi equates our lifestyle statement that the diversity of fashion lives in LA,” said Tom Sands, Anchor Blue CEO. “We are thrilled she is part of our 2008 campaign and can’t wait to bring her line to our consumer.”
Heidi will do in-store appearances, ad campaigns and be the overall spokesperson for the brand.

Award-winning actor Patrick Dempsey has teamed up with Avon to create a signature men’s perfume set to debut in Novemebr 2008.
Avon announced yesterday that it has signed Dempsey in the multi-year pact in what would be the star’s first ever foray into the fragrance industry. Sources say that he could be guaranteed $5 million to $6 million over three years for the campaign which will go global next year.

We applaud his efforts earlier this month to open the Patrick Dempsey Center for Cancer Hope & Healing in Maine, and look forward to exploring future collaboration opportunities with our Avon Foundation.”
“This is an extremely exciting opportunity for me to work with Avon — a brand I have long respected as a global powerhouse with a lot of heart and soul,” said Dempsey.
Dempsey, 41, has won the Screen Actors Guild Award 2007 and People’s Choice Award 2007 for his role as Dr. Shepherd on the ABC TV serial, Grey’s Anatomy. Come May 2, we will see him on the big screen in the romantic comedy Made of Honor.
