Bling It Out!

Chopard Swarovski Crystal Shades

The bling doesn't have to stop at the fingers. These Chopard shades are encrusted with Swarovski baguette crystals, that sparkle like diamonds. The square shape of the lens with rounded edges have a universal look. Whether your face is round, oval, or pear shaped, these will look great on you. They are authentic Chopard glasses, that cost $735. This type of purchase is definitely an investment. I was fortunate enough to get them as a gift. They were purchased from the Chopard store, at South Coast Plaza, but can also be found at several online retailers at a 10-25% discount. Online sites such as Tradesy.com offers a plethora of top of the line designer sunglasses at an even deeper discount, because they are primarily pre-owned glasses in "like new" condition. 

Bougie Rouge's Tip: If you don't want to make this kind of investment, consider this. I once purchased a really beautiful pair of plain gray sunglasses on clearence at Sunglass Hut for $49. I took the glasses to Michael's Arts & Craft hoping to find coordinating stones I could adorn the glasses with. I purchased a pack of smoke colored Swarovski crystal stones, a tube of industrial glue and embellished the arms of the glasses with the crystals to give them the bling I was looking for.
