[Style Review] VT Luxe Spring 2012 Collection Review & Giveaway!

VT Luxe Classic Chic Red Tortoise Sunglasses

It is no secret that I am a fan of the fashion accessories label VT Luxe.  So, when I was asked to review a piece from their 2012 Spring collection I jumped at the chance.  The reason for my excitement? Simple, because of  Jesse Garza and Joe Lupo.  They are a styling duo that not only change lives, but I'm convinced are styling magicians.

I received the Classic Chic in Red Tortoise Sunglasses w/case.  Whenever I shop for sunglasses the first thing I look at is the frame. Next, I look at the lense tint and whether they actually do what they are suppose to do i.e. block out sunlight.  So many of us get caught up in the shine and glitz of a pair of sunglasses that the basic function is overlooked and then it's too late and you are stuck with a "pretty" pair that don't block out any type of light.  These VT Luxe sunglasses are an updated shape to the vintage chic shape of the 1960's.  This is a very current and on trend shape and is paired cohesively with the red tortoise shade which make them versatile and can be worn with any ensemble.  Not only do they look stunning, but they actually block out a lot of sunlight-functional and stylish!

Check out how I styled them below:
