DIY Embellished Sunglasses

diy sunglasses
I've been lusting over these Dsquared2 sunnies for quite some time now, and since they're not only sold out everywhere, they're a little bit (er, a lot) out of my price range. Meaning, the only obvious solution would be to DIY them, am I right? So of course after months of pondering the idea, I finally got a slate of free time and up-cycled a pair of my trusty sunnies and voila, Embellished Sunglasses. 

So grab your glue and those old sunglasses and let's bedazzle our sunnies, after all, it's one of Spring 2013's trends to love. Lucky for you this one is not only easy, it's a quicky.
