The Breakdown

I had so much fun creating this winter themed outfit for Sunglass Hut! The entire “Snow Bunny In The City” look was inspired by their sophisticated Vogue tortoise framed gradient sunglasses. With a classic and modern design these Vogue sunglasses offer a sophisticated timeless look. They feature brown plastic frames and brown gradient lenses. For added detail, there is unique hinging near the temples and the Vogue signature sits on the arms. They’re perfect for protecting your eyes from the icy glare of the city streets.

For this look, I wanted to layer on the neutrals in shades brown with pops of sophisticated red. The outfit was built upon warm and cozy textures including a cable knit scarf, sweater dress, sheepskin gloves, and shearling lined boots. The winter-white belted trench and crystal snowflake earrings add in a touch of snow bunny glamor.
