Customer of the Week!

Our Customer of the Week is Camille!

Camille looks so pretty in her new Theo Eye Witness frames. Her big smile won us over!  The blue is so pretty with her complexion and the shape really accentuates her almond-shaped eyes.

Theo is a small company in Belgium that began making frames in 1989.  Two opticians started designing frames because they wanted to make frames for the individual.  The Eye Witness frames are asymmetrical which makes them look different on each person.  The individual has to be in perfect harmony with the frame…and Camille looks amazing!!!

Congrats, Camille…you are Our Customer of the Week!

Customer of the Week!

Our Customer of the week is Maxine!!!
Maxine looks super hip in her brand new Lafont frames.  The translucent magenta color is a refreshing hue that gives her a rosy glow.  The cat-eye shape is a modern twist of a vintage shape and we adore it on her! 
What makes this frame so great is its flexibility.  Even though it is an adult frame, it is suitable for a teenager with as much style as Maxine!
Don’t forget…now through September 30th, kids lenses are 50% off, when you purchase a complete pair with Super High Vision EX3 anti-reflective coating! EX3 anti-reflective coating is highly recommended for children because it is extremely scratch-resistant and even outperforms glass lenses. Come on in before the beginning of the school year and save!!!
Rock it, Maxine, you are our Customer of the Week!!!

Wednesdays with Dr. Brad Newton!

Written by on August 18th 2011
Dr. Brad Newton and I stopped by our neighbors, Chicago Music Exchange, and guess who we saw?  Rob, the drum manager, wearing the Francis Klein frames he purchased at Eye Spy!  So, Brad picked up a djembe and Rob grabbed a tar hand drum and they started banging away…dum, ditty, dum, ditty, dum, dum, dum.
Dr. Newton is wearing his very own Rapp frame.  Rapp is a small company out of Toronto that hand-crafts all of their frames.  They only make 30 pairs of each model for the whole world to see (and buy!), so they are very exclusive!  Stop by while they are still  25% off, through the month of August…and don’t forget about our Sunglass (and more) Sale that ends August 31st.

Wednesdays with Dr. Brad Newton!!!

Written by on August 10th 2011
What’s black, white, and red all over?  Dr.Brad Newton after a shaving accident!  Just kidding, it’s actually Brad wearing vibrant red Theo glasses and an awesome black and white button-down shirt… 
This model, soixante+5, is super retro with its perfectly round shape and keyhole bridge.  The fire engine red hue is a head-turner, but if red is not exactly your style…it comes in 9 other colors including white, blue, and green!  The whole Theo collection is handmade in Belgium and each piece is like a unique piece of art.

Thursday with Dr. Karen Squier!!!

Written by on July 28th 2011
Dr. Karen Squier is filling in for for Dr. Brad Newton this week, yee haw!  Since he knew that he wasn’t going to be here, he graciously left this awesome fringed shirt for Karen to wear for the Shirt of the Week….and apparently, Dr. Brad wore this shirt on-stage when he performed with Dolly Parton at Allstate Arena (formerly known as Rosemont Horizon)!!
This shirt is super unique, so we combined it with these one-of-a-kind Rapp frames.  She is so excited to be sporting these gorgeous purple striated cat-eye glasses. 
Dr. Newton is normally in on Wednesdays and Dr. Squier is on Saturdays.  Don’t forget to stop in for your annual eye exam and check in every Wednesday for our Shirt of the Week!!!

Wednesdays with Dr. Brad Newton!!!

Written by on July 20th 2011
Every week Dr. Brad Newton pleasantly surprises us with his vast array of funky shirts.  He is our guitar-playing, chart-wielding, in-house Optometrist on Wednesdays!  He sure knows how to rock color, so we thought…why not pair his shirt with these hot-pink Mykita sunglasses?

The Mykita Cyrus model, seen below, is a limited run with only 200 pairs sold world-wide.  The frame features the etchings of two separate skylines including Manhattan and the Pyramids of Giza.  Both versions are available here at Eye Spy Optical =)

Also, did you notice the amazing gig bag the doctor is holding?  This custom-made bag is created by local artist and … long-time customer Ricardo Salazar.  What a coincidence!!!  His company Arte Salazar makes one-of-a-kind gig bags, straps, and instruments.  Check him out at thttp://www.artesalazar.com/index.html
