Oh happy Friday! It’s the end of the week and we bet you could use a small distraction. Or if you are like us…you would be oh-so-happy to have someone tell you a story while you work.
Well, we have found an interesting This American Life episode from the beginning of the summer. If you are not familiar with This American Life, each week there is a theme to the episode and a few stories on that theme. The show is produced by Chicago Public Media and distributed by Public Radio International. Invisible Made Visible was a special edition of the show that they did live on stage and it was beamed to movie theaters all over. The episode features “Ryan Knighton, a blind guy who had a very peculiar experience with a hotel room telephone. Knighton, tells this story about trying to get his daughter to understand his blindness.”
Take a listen and laugh a little, and enjoy your Friday!

Our Customer of the Week is Sheila!
Who can deny that Sheila looks simply spectacular in her brand new Anne et Valentin specs?! Sheila has been coming to Eye Spy for spectacular eyewear since 2002…so it’s no surprise that she found a beautiful pair of specs from Anne et Valentin.
The whimsical Objet 3 frame is inspired by a mixture of 80’s architecture and pop art. Exaggerated geometric shapes and fresh colors are a unique take in the design of this fun series of Anne et Valentin frames.
Congrats, Sheila, you are our Customer of the Week!!!

Our Customer of the Week is Nate! How could we resist??
Nate looks adorable in his new Etnia Kids frames. He loves blue and could not resist these textured beauties for his very first pair:)
He didn’t know it, but these eyeglasses are hot off the press! We *just* received these Etnia Kids Metroville frames…and this style has not even been released yet in the US!! It is available in 9 great color combos. Yes, nine colors. Nate is lucky that he had his heart set on blue glasses before he walked into Eye Spy…’cause it would have been a tough decision!
Now until the end of October…kids’ lenses are FREE with a purchase of EX3 anti-reflective coating. Ask us about the details…
Congrats, Nate, you are our Customer of the Week!!!

Here is a peek at the new Anne et Valentin specs we saw at the Las Vegas trade show this year…
The top two shapes “Can” and “Cure” are oversized and quirky, inspired by everything Rock-n-Roll!
The frame above, “Lou”, has great texture accented by bold pops of color…and is considered the Wonder Woman model. Who wouldn’t feel like a super hero wearing these spectacular specs?
The shades below, “Dallas” and “Dakar” are also inspired by texture and have soft but striking color combinations. Drool!!!

Filed under: NEWS!, Theo, Unique Frame Lines
We couldn’t believe our eyes when we saw these *spectacular Theo Eye Witness specs at the trade show last week!
The avant-garde design and bright colors are right up our alley. The bold pattern is fantastic…and so is the exaggerated shape! The Eye Witness frames are special and so are the select few who purchase these frames. They are produced in very small quantities and are a limited edition series. You can be sure that you will not have the same simply spectacular specs as your BFF:-)
The Eye Witness line was launched in May 1995. And guess what? These specs are asymmetrical! If you look closely, you can see that the left and right side of the frame are slightly different. Each model will *not* fit everyone the same. An Eye Witness frame must be chosen that is in harmony with your own facial features….and with the help of the professionals at Eye Spy!
We can’t wait to get these beauties in…we will keep you posted!!!

The Queen of Specs spotted this adorable latte-colored Fiat 500 the other day. She couldn’t help but think of fabulous frames she saw at the trade show in Las Vegas…and how great the driver would look wearing a matching pair of Oliver Goldsmith sunnies!
We love this new latte-colored frame, “Casper,” by Oliver Goldsmith. Sunglasses with clean lines, a classic shape, and a fresh new color…who can resist?!

Our Customer of the Week is the dashing Antonio!
Oh, my, is that the Queen of Specs I spy in the background?
Antonio isn’t paying attention to anyone at the moment…he is so happy with his new specs. These Theo Eye Witness frames are so modern with cool chrome accents and sharp lines. In addition, all Eye Witness frames are limited edition, asymmetrical frames that are designed and released only once a year. We love them!
…and we love Antonio in them.
Congrats, Antonio, you are our Customer of the Week!!!

We are sad to say that we are down to our last Kala frame! Although we love Kala eyewear…we just had to make space for two new lines Caroline Abram and Anni Shades.
But don’t worry, we can still special order any Kala frame that you may desire. Also, if you’ve already purchased a Kala frame and need to order a replacement part…we can always get it for you!

It’s back-to-school season again, even thought it still feels like summer! Time to head on out and find new backpacks and clothes, since the little ones grow like weeds over the summer. Eye check-ups are important and maybe some new glasses too!!! And what could be better than frames that grow with your little one! Our new Etnia children’s frames have adjustable temples that will lengthen as your kids grow, how awesome is that ? You can even schedule an appointment at Eye Spy… the doctor is in on Thursdays and Sundays:)
Also, from now through the end of October, when you add Super Hi-Vision EX3 Anti-Reflective Coating to your kid’s lenses, you get FREE impact-resistant lenses, worth up to a $140!! That includes all students, even the college-level ones! What is this EX3 coating, you ask? While all types of anti-reflective coating reduce glare, EX3 is far superior to most because of its extreme scratch resistance and because it repels dirt and water. Since students spend most of their time on the computer, they need an anti-reflective coating they can count on!
