Product Description
The polarised design also means that the lenses can filter any unwanted glare, as they eliminate reflected and scattered light from roads, snow, water, and any other horizontal surfaces.
Offering the classic browline design, the lenses of the CGID Sunglasses have been crafted from a polycarbonate material, making them resistant to high temperatures and impact, so they will withstand any bashes over time.
The frames themselves have been crafted from a high quality elastic plastic, weighing in at just 24g, making them not just "super lightweight" to wear, but also ideal for travelling in a handbag when out in the sun.
Looking for designer sunglasses without the price, then the Sunglass Hut is offering up to 50 per cent off right now. For those not keen on the horn-rim design, this Ralph Lauren pair boasts a fuller design for £174.30 after being dropped from £249.
However, for those keen on the Ray-Ban design, but would still prefer to check out a different retailer to Amazon, we spotted these Black Metal Trim Round Sunglasses for just £7.99 at New Look.
As for the Amazon 'dupe' pair, they have managed to amass a rather impressive 4.3 rating based on over 5,000 reviews, with some suggesting they are "better than" the pricier Ray-Bans brand.
Fashion deal of the week
Jetting off on holiday this summer and need some flattering new swimwear?
One that shoppers can't stop gushing over is Next's Plunge Shaping Tummy Control Swimsuit that seems to "firm" wobbly bits around the waistline. Costing just £40, it boasts 10 colours and prints to choose from.
With its elegant deep plunge neckline and trendy high-cut leg design, it's a fashionable one-piece that also is "not too revealing". It comes with a tummy-shaping panel around the middle that works to smooth out any lumps and bumps.
Each design of the one-piece is available in a regular-fit, with sizes ranging from a six through to 26, although some are beginning to sell out incredibly fast.
Those who have bought the £40 Next swimsuit can't stop praising it, as one shopper said: "The thick straps are super supportive and comfortable and the plunge neckline is very flattering while not showing too much cleavage. It's quite a high leg which I like and it feels very comfortable on.
"It pulls the tummy in nicely and is lovely and soft. I can't wait to wear this by the pool on holiday and I will feel comfortable swimming in it too."
A repeat purchaser wrote: "I've got a few different colours in this style of swimsuit now as it's a very flattering fit whilst also being very comfortable and secure."

One delighted customer wrote: "These are excellent clubmaster style sunglasses. The official Ray-Ban clubmaster is too big for most people's faces.
"These have a slightly smaller lens (51mm vs 53mm) and are narrower overall. The quality is absolutely identical to Ray-Ban with heat sunk hinges and poly lenses. Don't waste your money on Ray-Ban, buy these."
A similar review echoed: "Fit is perfect, look is expensive, delivered quickly and best of all they look better than my Ray-Bans!"
Someone else said: "Gorgeous trendy sunglasses with a different feel and look to any others I've ever seen or worn. They do get stuck a bit in my hair when on my head but so do other sunglasses that have metal on the frame. Brilliant value for money."
One shopper said the fit was "tight", writing: "Good design but was a tight fit. I think a bigger size would make the product far more appealing. I did notice a smell of plastic during use, but don't think it's a major issue."
While someone else who praised the glasses said: "These are exactly the same as my original Ray-Ban Clubmasters you will not be disappointed and the swift delivery too is a bonus! Thank you, I love it!"

Jeff Bezos's wedding could be ruined by protesters
When Jeff Bezos and his bride-to-be cruise into Venice's lagoon on their $500 million (£386 million), 410ft-long superyacht this month, it will not just be gondolas, Gothic palazzi and bell towers that will greet them. Activists will stage noisy protests against the star-studded wedding of the billionaire Amazon founder and Lauren Sánchez, a former television journalist, arguing that it will transform the World Heritage city into 'a playground for billionaires'. The nuptials, set to be held for three days from June 24-26, are set to cost $10 million (£8.4 million) and will be the biggest celebrity wedding at the site since George Clooney married Amal Alamuddin a decade ago. Hollywood stars such as Kim Kardashian, Kris Jenner and Katy Perry, as well as members of the Trump dynasty like Donald Trump Jr, Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner, are expected to attend. Luxury suites in the finest hotels have been booked for the likes of Bill Gates, Orlando Bloom, Oprah Winfrey, Eva Longoria and Leonardo DiCaprio. With a slogan that plays on Bezos's ownership of Blue Origin, his space rocket venture – 'No space for oligarchs, no space for Bezos' – protesters will march along canal banks and through piazzas during the wedding celebrations, carrying banners and letting off coloured smoke flares. Venice, the protestors argue, should not be put up for sale to the world's third-richest man, who has an estimated worth of $225 billion (£166 billion). The 'dignity' of Venice needs to be defended. 'The whole of Venice, all the people who live here, need to do something to protest against Bezos,' Alice Bazzoli, an activist from the 'No space for Bezos' campaign, told The Telegraph. 'It's not about him personally, it's about the consequences that the wedding will have for the city.' On stone bridges and the walls of alleyways across the city's historic centre, there are posters depicting the American billionaire's head superimposed on a rocket blasting into space and the words 'Bezos wedding in Venice? No way!' Taking over the city Protesters say that a mega-wedding attended by the 'ultra-rich one per cent' is the last thing that Venice needs, insisting that it will disrupt daily life for ordinary Venetians and will bring them little benefit. The wedding will also entail the cordoning off of public areas and the blanket booking of water taxis. No official wedding programme has been disclosed, but locals have a hunch that the nuptials may be held on the island of San Giorgio, which lies at the mouth of the Grand Canal opposite the stone-carved splendour of St Mark's Square. A tiny islet, it boasts historic churches, cloisters and libraries. 'He has booked out at least five luxury hotels, the island of San Giorgio will be completely booked out for the duration of the wedding, it will be hard for locals to move around because there will be security measures for his VIP guests,' said Ms Bazzoli. 'He'll pretty much take over the city for his celebrations, paying a huge amount of money for the privilege. It will compound all our problems – daily life is already hard for locals in Venice because of the impact of mass tourism.' In a quiet street in the Castello district of the city, far from the tourist hordes, Marta Sottoriva, another activist, was busy making giant banners for the protests. 'The wedding will benefit the very few – the owners of luxury hotels, the operators of water taxis – all of whom already earn huge amounts of money from tourism. It will bring absolutely no benefits for ordinary Venetians,' she said. For many Venetians, the wedding represents an extreme example of the commercialisation of their city – a place where locals can no longer afford to live because apartments are sold to outsiders or rented to tourists on platforms such as Airbnb. With an acute lack of affordable public housing, many families move to the mainland, across the lagoon, where rents are cheaper. 'Venice is being transformed into a vast theme park, a cultural Disneyland,' said Ms Sottoriva. The authorities introduced a scheme last year whereby day-trippers have to register online and pay an 'access fee' to enter the city. 'A lot of friends have said to me that they now feel like animals in a zoo,' she said. 'Always welcome' Luigi Brugnaro, the millionaire mayor of Venice, insisted that the Bezos wedding will be a 'great event' that will bring no disruption whatsoever. He said there will only be around 200 guests and that Venice has experience of handling much larger events, such as the Art and Architecture Biennale exhibitions. Bezos and his staff have 'categorically' not booked large numbers of gondolas and water taxis. The mayor told The Telegraph that he was 'grateful' that Bezos had chosen Venice as the venue for his wedding. 'Anyone who loves Venice is always welcome,' he said, adding that there will be significant economic benefits because the event will 'reinforce the role of Venice as a place of encounters and hospitality'. The priority will be to 'ensure that the city functions normally, for everyone, without any inconvenience for anybody,' he said. But claims of lavish economic dividends are sharply disputed by critics. 'I don't think Kim Kardashian will be sitting down at a local trattoria to eat spaghetti. They'll have private chefs instead,' said Ms Bazzoli. Giovanni Andrea Martini, an opposition member of the city council, said: 'It's absolutely false. It won't bring any benefit to ordinary Venetians. It is just going to cause inconvenience.' Hosting the wedding is 'an extreme case of the Disneyfication of Venice,' he said. But now that it is a done deal, Mr Martini wants Mr Bezos to make a donation to the city – not towards sprucing up ancient monuments or artworks but towards restoring the estimated 1,000 council houses and flats that lie empty and abandoned, fuelling the accommodation crisis. Mr Martini said the official estimate of 48,000 inhabitants is wrong, saying around 18,000 of those are second homeowners who have residency but do not live in the city full-time. The true population could therefore be as low as 30,000. Speaking from his office in Venice's town hall, he said the real number of annual visitors could be as high as 30 million – much greater than the 20 million figure that is often cited. 'This is the proportion we are dealing with – 30 million tourists visiting a city of 30,000 inhabitants.'

'Exquisite' Amazon Prime show cancelled after only one series
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Amazon Prime Video have cancelled the TV series Étoile in spite of its impressive 85% fresh critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes. Helmed by Marvelous Mrs. Maisel creators Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino, Étoile had initially been greenlit by the streaming service for two seasons. Debuting in April this year, its story followed the directors of two rival ballet companies as they attempted to save their institutions from collapse. In a last-ditch effort to save these world-renowned institutions, they hatch a plan to switch leading ladies, swapping their most talented stars in an ambitious gambit. Starring Luke Kirby and Nymphomaniac star Charlotte Gainsbourg as the ballet companies' directors, it was released to strong word of mouth and favourable reception from viewers. However, that apparently hasn't been enough to save Étoile, which has reportedly been axed after only one series. Fans reacted to the news with dismay on social media, with many writing of their disappointment that another show had met its end so prematurely. 'Amazon keeps cancelling the few shows on Prime I enjoy. Such shame for Etoile,' wrote marsjfields. 'Amazon Prime u are DEAD to me (My Lady Jane, Wheel of Time and now Etoile?????)' said suvanias. 'Étoile on Amazon Prime Video is reportedly being cancelled according to Deadline. Hard to believe this is not a stunt to attract more viewership. The show is phenomenal. Heartbroken if true. Loved the show,' commented danpavacic. Those reacting with disappointment are in sync with its positive Rotten Tomatoes score – having garnered an 85% 'Fresh' approval rating from critics on the review aggregator. 'Étoile is one of the most perfect, and I don't use that term lightly, pilots I've ever seen,' wrote Neely Swanson of the Beverley Hills Courier. 'As ravishing as it feels radical,' said Joey Moser of The Contending. Contributing a 76% score, audiences were just as full of praise, with the user Madison J describing it as a 'fabulous show with exquisite talent, a great story line and gorgeous scenes.' In April, creator Amy Sherman-Palladino weighed in on whether the second series would come to pass, telling Variety: 'You'll have to ask Amazon.' 'It's pending,' agreed husband and co-creator Daniel. Sadly, it looks as though that second series never will come to pass, unless Amazon, for some reason,n decide to pirouette on their decision to axe. The ballet comedy-drama was the latest collaboration from Gilmore Girls duo Amy and Daniel, who subsequently worked together on The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. More Trending Their most beloved hit ended in 2007 with a follow-up miniseries in 2016, but fans remain hopeful that the Gilmore girls might one day return. Last year, star Lauren Graham reunited with screen mum Kelly Bishop, giving fresh hope that Friday night dinners might one day resume service. Series creator Amy weighed in on the chances of another revival, telling Variety: 'It would be delightful. We love the actors, we love the world, we love writing those characters. The time just has to be right. It's alchemy.' View More » Series One of Étoile is streaming now on Amazon Prime Video. Got a story?

Shoppers race to buy garden must-have from Amazon that adds instant privacy & perfect for unpredictable British summers
AMAZON is selling a stylish pop up gazebo for less than £60 that is perfect for family gatherings. The Outsunny Pop Up gazebo not only offers instant privacy – it is also popular with online customers. And in another plus for the pop up, it is also a smash hit with consumer organisation Which?, scoring high marks in recent tests. With forecasters predicting a sun-packed summer it couldn't have arrived at a better time, making it a must-have item for BBQs, parties and festivals. It is also the perfect addition for anyone planning an outdoor Father's Day event on June 15. The Outsunny 3x3m Pop Up Gazebo is currently on offer for just £55.99 on Amazon. That takes 29% off the original price. It's also been awarded a brilliant 82% score by Which?, with particular praise for how easy it is to assemble. This means there are no tools – or temper tantrums – required. There is also a grey version of the Outsunny Pop Up Gazebo for sale on Amazon, which retails at £79.99. This pop-up shelter is made for unpredictable summer weather. Here are just some of the benefits: The canopy is UV and water resistant. This will provide shade on scorching days and protection when the heavens open. It comes with four zippered side panels – so you can go fully enclosed or keep it open for breeze and mingling. There are other reasons to purchase this gazebo too. This includes its steel frame, which has been powder-coated for durability. The Outsunny 3x3m Pop Up Gazebo even includes eight drainage holes to stop water collecting on top. Its exact dimensions are 2.95m x 2.95 m x 2.58m, with the door at a height of 1.96m. 2 The manufacturer recommends two to three people are on hand to assemble. In addition to this, when you're party's over, it packs neatly into the included carry bag for easy storage and transport. How to have a great – and safe - barbecue If you are planning a barbecue in your garden it is advised you consider how you will get rid of disposable barbecues once you've finished with them. Some areas have dedicated barbecue bins, but you should always ensure your barbecue is fully cooled before disposal by pouring cold water on it, says East Sussex Fire & Rescue Service. Other advice includes choosing a location away from buildings, fences, trees, and anything that could catch fire. Ensure the ground is flat and stable, and that the barbecue is placed firmly to prevent tipping. Never leave a barbecue unattended when in use. Keep children, pets, and garden games away from the cooking area. With multiple colour options, it's also easy to coordinate. But be quick, because the most popular shades and sizes tend to sell out fast when the weather forecast starts to change. At such a low price, a proper gazebo like this one is a small investment that could save your whole day – whatever the weather.
