With the Beckham powerhouse expanding further and further into American culture with fragrances, denim, and clothing it would only make sense that Victoria Beckham would now have her own line of luxury sunglasses.  Victoria’s glamorous look always includes fashionable oversized shades so it’s completely fitting that she would design sunglasses that would fit with her signature look.
Victoria Beckham Cat-eye-frame $430
These black oversized acetate frames are my favorite in the collection.  I like the skinny black frame paired with the dark blue gradient lenses.  Victoria incorporated her first initial in two places:  the V detail where the black and transparent acetate …read more
