Match your sunglasses to your hair colour

Sunglasses have always been at the forefront of cool, but they are currently having a serious fashion moment, leading designers to think outside the box and create some truly original, contemporary designs. Sunglasses Shop has a variety of designers, with a plethora of colours and shapes at the click of a button. Our team of experts are at hand to help you choose the perfect pair to suit your individual look and lifestyle, but to give you some initial inspiration; here
are a few colour- inspired tips to help you out when browsing our site.

You choose your hair colour to suit your complexion, so extend (and break) those rules when choosing your sunnies.

Hey Blondie: Rich and soft caramels, pastels and creams were rife on the catwalk this season, so go with these on trend tones to compliment your soft colouring. Black metal frames will turn heads when mixed with over sized, ‘look at me’ styles.
Try: Chloe Myrte Ivory or Ray-Ban 3026 Large Aviator Black

Dark and mysterious: Vibrant colours and embellishment such as crystals and gold detailing will add a contrast with stunning results when paired with dark tresses. Frames with tones of plum bring out blue and green eyes and Celtic skin tones, whilst olive skinned beauties can work metallics with panache.
Try: Marc Jacobs 298 Violet or Dior Sport 1 Rose Gold

Rustic beauty: Whether you’re a natural red head, or have gone for vibrant tones of pillar box red, it’s a colour that’s having all the fun this season, with the Mulberry S/S11 show being awash with marching red heads, proving that those who dare, win. Go for white, creams and blacks in cat eye shapes for a retro, screen siren look, or clash with hot pinks and cool blues in over sized 70s frames for a directional finish.
Try: D&G 3061 Honey or Chanel 5196 Light Turquoise

Style crush: Taylor Momsen

Taylor Momsen has come a long way since she first appeared on our screens alongside Jim Carey in The Grinch.

The blond bombshell plays the role of Jenny Humphrey in the hit ITV2 drama Gossip Girl. She is also the lead singer of rock band The Pretty Reckless.

Whether she is striking a pose on the red carpet or performing on stage, this is one style savvy sister who never puts a fashion foot wrong.

The 16-year-old has chosen winning outfit after winning outfit and killer accessories to match.

Take a look at our gallery to see why Taylor is our current style crush.

Heidi Montag wears sunglasses for the first time post-surgery

Reality TV star Heidi Montag is holidaying in Costa Rica, where she made a breakthrough on Wednesday.

She tweeted, "wearing sunglasses for the first time since my surgery! SCARY! feels so weird!"

The 23-year-old had ten plastic surgery procedures done in November last year. She recently revealed that she wants her G-cup implants removed, as it is “heartbreaking” that she can no longer exercise of play with her four dogs.

Shortly before going under the knife, we spotted Heidi in a pair of sunglasses from the esteemed Chanel Pearl collection.

While we don't envy what she's been through, we do envy her endless collection of quilted Chanel handbags, shoes and flats - no wonder Audrina Patridge and Lauren Conrad were so jealous.

Her sunglasses feature a plethora of genuine pearls on the temple, which have been cultivated for a primarily flawless, perfectly spherical finish. The broad lenses add instant wow-factor while the dozen pearls add a youthful glow to her skin.

Follow in the footsteps of sexy Hollywood sirens and allow your inner star to shine with the Chanel Pearl collection.

Courtney Cox reveals how Jennifer Aniston stays so skinny

Jennifer Aniston is famed for her fad diets but best friend Courtney Cox Arquette has revealed the secret to her slim line frame.

The Scream actress says that the 41-year-old ate and prepared the same chicken and avocado salad every day for 10 years when they were in Friends.

The 45-year-old told the Metro, ‘Jennifer, Lisa Kudrow and I always had the same thing.’

'It was a Cobb salad that Jennifer doctored up with turkey bacon and garbanzo beans and I don’t know what.’

Last month it was claimed that Jennifer had embarked on a ‘baby food cleanse’ diet after being introduced to it by personal trainer Tracy Anderson, who has also worked with Gwyneth Paltrow.

Chanel sunglasses collection – Chanel 5076H

For former Friends star Courtney Cox Arquette there is only one shade to be seen in this season. Making an appearance on the Scream actress is the frame of a brand that is both classic and chic, and that it is Chanel. Who else?

Everyone has a soft spot Chanel. The 5076H is one of the most iconic in the Chanel collection. That sophisticated style. That double C emblem. All of it makes us fall in love with the Chanel sun collection all over again. Not that any of us need prompting. The beautiful 5076H is a truly stunning frame and one that we never tire of wearing.

Choose these seriously sophisticated authentic designer sunglasses and you will be in good company. Heidi Montag, Eva Longoria and Sarah Michelle Gellar, Katie Price, Ashley Tisdale, Elle Macpherson and Paris Hilton, are among the hot Hollywood celebrities who have made the multi purpose 5076H an essential part of their everyday look. Sunglasses Shop stocks the 5076H in three colours, shiny black, havana and dark brown, that will have you standing out in confidence.

Kate Hudson shows off her cheeky side

Kate Hudson made David Letterman smile with a sexy preview of her new horror movie, The Killer Inside Me.

The actress was a guest on his US chat show last night, where she showed the host a clip from the film showing her prancing around in just a bra.

Speaking about the movie, she told David, 'There was one scene where [co-star] Casey [Affleck] had to spank me 20 times.

'It was horrible - during it - but afterwards we thought it was funny'.

After the interview, Kate attended the launch of Stella McCartney 2011 Spring Presentation in the West Village.

The Killer Inside Me is based on a 1952 novel by Jim Thompson and centres on the vicious killing of a prostitute.

Casey plays a deputy sheriff in Texas, while Kate plays his long-term girlfriend Amy.

The Killer Inside Me was released in the UK yesterday and will be released in US cinemas on June 18.

Chanel sunglasses collection – Chanel 5179

Chanel is a mainstay for Kate Hudson. The actress has been seen in Chanel on a many number of occasions, including the sequin Chanel mini dress she wore to the Nine New York premiere in December. Here the Bride Wars star illustrates the timeless beauty of the 5179 taken from the new Chanel Ruban Metal collection. The Ruban, ribbon in French, is the ultimate fashion accessory and the centre piece of the Chanel collection.

The Chanel Ruban Metal collection is a wonderful example of the eternal elegance of Chanel. Other Ruban Metal styles include the beautiful 4181, 5178 and 4180, which are sleeker and squarer in comparison to the 4182. The Chanel Ruban Metal collection is presented in a breathtaking assortment of colours including sumptuous sand and light horn. Chanel eyewear has an irresistible style (if the large number of Chanel Ruban sunglasses sold is anything to go by) and the Metal Ruban collection demonstrates this perfectly.

Courtney Love claims affair with Gavin Rossdale

Courtney Love claims she had an affair with Gwen Stefani’s husband Gavin Rossdale.

The rock singer, who made the sensational claim on the Howard Stern radio show in the US, said Gwen knew she was having an intimate relationship with the Bush front man.

She said they had ‘a really good time’ during their eight month affair and claimed she had a 'vision of marrying Gavin Rossdale one time'.

No Doubt singer Gwen, 40, and Gavin, 44, wed in 2002 and have two sons, Kingston, 4, and Zuma, 18 months.

Courtney was married to Nirvana singer Kurt Cobain, who committed suicide in 1994 when their daughter Frances Bean, now 17, was just a toddler.

Courtney said: 'Everyone gave me so much s*** because Gavin sounded a lot like Kurt.

'But man, he was such an Adonis in his day! He got good in bed... something happened. Maybe Gwen taught him, for all I know.'

When asked if she was having sex while Gavin was married to Gwen, she replied: 'We didn't have a lot of pressure on each other, but we did like each other quite a bit.'

Gwen and Gavin are yet to comment on the claims.

Chanel sunglasses collection - Chanel 5171

Chanel 5171, as worn by Courtney and Lily, is new to the Chanel Ruban collection. This delicate detail is made from dedicated high quality moulds. The CC metal logo looks swell on the right side of the ruban, which also features a subtle metal trim to fix the bow to the temple. Ruban, which means ribbon or band in French, is a strong code of Chanel and creates something that is an object of desire. It softens and brings a feminine touch to even the plainest outfit. Sunglasses Shop offers these sunglasses in a choice of several shades; black, dark havana, brown-light brown, violet transparent, and gloss black (shown above). This frame also comes in a slightly smaller version - the Chanel 5170.

Nadine says Nicola is 'forcing her out'

Nadine Coyle has told friends that Nicola Roberts is forcing her out of Girls Aloud.

The Irish singer is said to furious at her telling Hello magazine that none of the girls have spoken to her since September.

A close friend of Nadine’s told heat magazine: ‘She feels Nicola is silently forcing her out.’

They added: ‘She thinks Nicola is being two faced. She’s desperate for Cheryl [Cole] not to listen to Nicola,’

Girls Aloud are set to reunite this summer after having spent one year apart to work on solo projects.
However, it is unlikely they will reform if the rumours do turn out to be true.

Cheryl is said to have told Nicola that ‘she’s had enough’ and ‘can’t take it any more.’

The Geordie has her own problems such as her marriage breakdown to Chelsea footballer Ashley Cole without having to worry about the group as well.

Nadine claims she has tried to make contact with the rest and even tried to contact Cheryl when she spent time in LA.

The source said: ‘She thinks she’s been made to look stupid. She’s desperate for people to know she’s not a b***h. She’s blaming Nicola. She’s gutted.’

In other news, Nicola has made it onto a list of Britain's top ten richest young musicians.

But despite her fortune she is dwarfed by fellow band member and X Factor judge Cheryl, who is worth at least £10million.

The 24-year-old has an estimated £5million fortune, which she owes to Girls Aloud and her Dainty Dolls make-up line for fair skin.

Chanel sunglasses collection - Chanel 5120

Chanel 5120, as seen on Nicola Roberts, is the epitome of Chanel. This fashion fantasy features all important Chanel quilting and is the ultimate quilt trip.

Chanel quilting has been emulated by many, most recent being high street retailer Peacocks, but is never matched. Quilted Chanel sunglasses are our most sought after. Cool and classic, they suit both the youthful and the young. From rock-glam goddess Taylor Momsen, to oh-so-chic Cameron Diaz. Whoever you are, whatever your style, Chanel patchwork is hot-to-trot. The raised pattern that covers the arm looks perfectly sumptuous and adds depth and dimension. Interlacing double C logos are placed on the temples. The face is left untouched for a smooth sheen and better contrast. We love.

Kim Kardashian was victim of domestic violence

Kim Kardashian was the victim of domestic violence and abuse, newly uncovered court papers revealed.

The reality TV star suffered at the hands of her ex-husband Damon Thomas, who allegedly beat her and demanded to know where she was every minute of the day.

They married in Las Vegas, Nevado, in January 2000, when Kim was 19-years-old. They split three years later.

According to the papers, Thomas repeatedly punched her in the face, leaving her battered and bruised. He also gave her $3,650 to get liposuction because he wanted her to be ‘perfect’ – then gave her an additional $1,000 for more surgery.

She said: 'Damon decided what we would do and when we would do it. He was very much the ‘King of the castle’,' she said.

She was working as a sales girl at a shop in Los Angeles called Body, but was made to give up her job by her husband: 'He said he did not want me to have contact with my old boyfriends who would be able to reach me at the clothing store,' she said.

She added: 'He said he wanted to know where I was at all times.'

His demands are laid bare by Kim in their divorce papers, which were filed at Los Angeles Superior Court in 2003.

'He would not allow me to go out to dinner with friends I have known since I was a child. If Damon were not home, I was required to call him and ask permission to leave the house.'

Chanel sunglasses collection - Chanel 4160Q

Chanel 4160Q, as seen on Kim Kardashian, features a chain made of silver metal plaited with a leather cord, which decorates the brow line of these irresistibly stylish shades. This interwoven decoration is made of the softest leather – far softer than that used by other brands. Naturally the leather has to be perfect. Highly skilled craftsman cut the sumptuous leather using only the
most delicate tool of the trades. The metal temple is engraved Chanel – the magical code of the fashion house – which proves the sunglasses as authentic, as apposed to a clever fake. The single lens is a statement and does all the talking for you – leaving you free to concentrate on more important things, rather than being stopped by admirers and passers by. Black stem socks sheath the temple tips for smoothness and comfort.

Heidi Montag underwent 10 cosmetic proceedures in 1 day

People magazine has accused Heidi Montag of being addicted to plastic surgery after she
underwent 10 cosmetic procedures in 1 day, however the starlet disagrees.

‘I would say that none of those people know me at all. And that’s just a
judgment. I’m not addicted. If you’re addicted to something, you have to do it
all the time, not once every couple of years, if even’ She told ABC’s Good
Morning America.

Various medial professional have also accused plastic
surgeon Frank Ryan, who carried out the procedures, of being careless.

‘You’re pushing the envelope there definitely, from a medical point of view,
where you’re going to set up complications. And that’s irresponsible from a
medical point of view. ... My ethics would say that you don’t put your patient
at that risk’ says Doctor Thomas Romo who also stated putting anyone under
anaesthetic for more than 6 hours is extremely dangerous. ‘After seven hours,
you’re written up at our hospital’.

The Playboy pinup admitted to Access Hollywood ‘I almost died after my
procedure. I had too much Demerol like Michael Jackson did and my breathing was
five breaths per minute which is like almost dead. (I was) in an aftercare
centre, there were nurses that were supposed to be tending to me at all times.
So thank God, Charles, one of my security guys used to be an EMT, and he was
timing my breath on his watch and he called the nurses and they had to put
oxygen on my face and called my plastic surgeon to come in for an emergency. So,
it was a very traumatic experience for me’.

The 10 procedures included a mini brow lift, Botox in the forehead, nose job
revision, fat injections in cheeks and lips, chin reduction, neck liposuction,
ears pinned back, breast augmentation revision, liposuction on her waist and
thighs, and a buttocks augmentation.

She also said she wants her breasts made even bigger than they are already,
but that she is happy with them, for now.

‘At first I kept saying my boobs aren’t big enough. I wanted 800 cc’s and I
ended up getting about 650 cc’s. Eight hundred is the largest size they make. I
wanted them to be larger originally, but this is all that could fit into my
body. So, I kept saying like a crazy person for eight weeks, saying I want them
bigger I want that bigger. I think I’m good with them now...They’re triple Ds or
Fs pretty much, I wanted ‘H’ for Heidi but that didn’t really happen that way’

Chanel collection - Chanel 5159H

Chanel 5159H, as worn by Heidi Montag, is an oversized frame crafted from
high gloss acetate with perfect round contours. Each temple features 9 white
cultivated pearls. Gabrielle Chanel loved pearls and wore strands of them around
her neck to for an elegant and sophisticated look, which you can now recreate
through this beautifully refined sunglass.
