The (Sun)Glasses Dossier: DITTO Giveaway [CLOSED]

Hello world! I am a DITTO Style Visionary and am here to tell you about this new way to try on glasses.
This is a sponsored post.

I met the DITTO team at the Two Point Oh blogger picnic last Sunday.
They gave me this cool pair of Chloe sunglasses in exchange for a review.

Yes! Ivory with gold accents! C-R-A-Z-Y!!!Me likeeee.

DITTO is an ecommerce site that sells interesting designer eyewear. You create a DITTO avatar using your computer's webcam to "try" on the frames. It's super easy -- the hardest part is arranging your "set"!

"I'm sorry but, stripes? Did you not hear of moire?"

It helps to have some light shining in your face if your computer is in a dark cave, like mine.

I did a side by side comparison, modeling the same style of sunglasses.
On the left is my virtual DITTO. On the right is reality, using Photo Booth.

Here is my DITTO link, so you can see me bigger and better (and suggest other looks)!

"What about the giveaway?" you ask.
DITTO is offering a free $200 gift card to one lucky winner, US residents only. (International readers, you will have to find a US surrogate to receive your frames if you want to enter. DITTO only ships to the US at present).
You get 20 possible entries by using the Rafflecopter below. The giveaway will run from today (7/19) through midnight 7/28/12 EST. This will allow you time to take advantage of DITTO's "free Rx lenses" offer good until 8/2/12.
Good luck!

My Over-50 Muse for IFB #50

Many of my style icons are over 50, a good thing, since I turned 56 today.
I have a Pinterest board where they mix and mingle.
Who shall I anoint as the queen of my influences?

It will have to be Carrie Donovan, the former fashion editor for Vogue, Harper's Bazaar and The New York Times Magazine. It was seeing her giant rounded glasses that inspired me to go the same route when I gave up contact lenses for good.

My glasses are Calvin Klein, sold as sunglasses in the late 90s.
I saw them at my optometrist's and knew they were for me.
I have a stockpile of several pairs.
I cannot count how many complements I've received for them over the years.

Thank you Carrie, for your bold eyewear inspiration.
