I was looking for the perfect pair of sunglasses with both quality and design and fell madly in love with the rag & bone x Vuarnet collaboration. rag & bone is a NYC classic from their jeans to their beautiful leather jackets. I think the key word to describe them is edgy with a masculine touch. Their love for quality and design shows with every single piece. All made with a little love of course. I was thrilled to hear that they now have these sunglasses to add to my look. They’ve combined their very classic taste in colors with Vaurnet’s French minimalism in design. The blue lenses. Yellow lenses. White frames. Black frames. So chic and universal with that tough-girl attitude. All 100% UV protected, that I can easily take them from the city streets up to the snowy mountains this winter and actually know my sunnies are working in fighting off the harsh rays. I find mirrored lenses to be such a statement look. Best with some very minimal denim on denim. With holiday travels just around the corner, these next 2 weeks are just going to be insanely jammed packed. Christmas in California is going to feel so good. This look definitely brings a bit of that California sunshine to NYC. It’s the reflective lenses and easy denim looks of mine that gives away all of my Californication. Complete with a messy low bun and a great pair of flats. Let’s just get through the NYC holiday rush!
