Written by on June 6th 2012
 Sara is our spankin’ new optician and we are soooo *excited* for you to meet her!!!
We asked our new superstar a few questions.  Hopefully these will hold you over until you can stop by and meet her for yourself=)
What catches your lil’ eye at Eye Spy?
     *Francis Klein frames with their quirky retro shapes.  Oh, yeah and the awesome birds on the walls.
What is something most people don’t know about you?
     *I was blind for 4 days when I had my eyes sewn shut after eye surgery.  I couldn’t even sneeze without pain.  Ugh.
Who is your celebrity crush?
     *The nerdy dude who plays Dr. Spencer Reid on Criminal Minds.  He is super smart and I secretly love nerds.
What is your favorite food?
     *Any pie from Bang Bang Pie Shop in Logan Square…yum.
What do you do in your free-time?
     *Gardening, yoga, hanging out with tiny humans, and designing/producing my accessory line Little Blue Bay.
If you could be any sea creature what would you be?
     *A narwhal.  A whale unicorn, what’s not to love?

Jill came all the way from Cleveland Ohio to visit Eye Spy…so we couldn’t help but make her our Customer of the Week!  She had always dreamed of owning Francis Klein frames, so when she found these beauties…she couldn’t help herself.  We love how the yellow hue picks up the red in her hair.  She looks adorable!

Congrats Jill, your trip to Chicago was a home run…and you are our Customer of the Week!!!

Sunglasses and Smooches!

Written by on May 16th 2012

No one loves lipstick quite like the Specs Wrangler, so we thought…why not pair some fabulous lipstick shades with some rockin’ sunglass shades?!

Purple is our favorite color at Eye Spy and we love NO. 15 by Makeup Forever.  We had to pair this amazing shade with Francis Klein’s Flower shades.  Yummy!

 

We adore these Theo Pine shades!  With all the wonderful textures and hues…we decided to go subtle with Nars Turkish Delight lip gloss.

 

Lafont’s Hampton sunglasses are bright and cheery, perfect for a hot summer day.   Why not pair them with MAC’s Good to Go for a perfect bold combo?
