http://www.iris-spectacles.co.uk/ have got some nice ones available...

Best thing is to go around a load of smaller independent shops and try a shed load on, then get hold of the model number/colour code and get them online...

Most places do free standard lenses and charge a bit extra (about £25-£40) for anti-glare, super-thin etc....

I think £250 is quite a lot... I got mine for £175 complete including all the extra lense stuff... best to hunt around...

It's always nice when the frames come with lenses haha, as if we were buying digital SLR camera bodies that don't have lenses, i know the sunglasses are technically a pair of frames with lenses but still i think the lingo is a bit funny. I just got a pair of Bvlgari designer sunglasses plus a discount for the summer so it was a good deal. The Alain Miklis are really popular now too.
