Transported Back in Time with Claire & Oliver Goldsmith

Written by on April 28th 2012

We couldn’t wait to share our excitement for the Claire & Oliver Goldsmith trunk show we will be having in May!

In 1926, Philip Oliver Goldsmith revolutionized how sunglasses were being made.  At a time when cumbersome frames were being made from expensive metals and tortoiseshell, he started fashioning frames from brightly coloured acetates.  Sunglasses became not only a way to protect your eyes from the sun, but thanks to Goldsmith…they also became a fashion statement!

Icons such as Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly, and Michael Cain adored them and the name Goldsmith became synonymous with stars and style.

I’ll give you the lowdown on Claire Goldsmith next week, you can drool over these iconic photographs in the meantime, ha!

Our Customer of the Week is Anthony!!!

Anthony looks so handsome in his brand new specs!  He was ready to upgrade to a bolder pair of frames and he definitely came to the right place.  We had so much fun helping Anthony choose these titanium Theo frames.  The dark blue color highlights his baby blues, the red details add interest…and it looks like this Theo Cinquante+4 frame was made just for him!

Congrats, Anthony, you are our Customer of the Week!!!

Spring is Here…and so are our New Anne et Valentin’s!

Written by on April 11th 2012

It was really hard for the Queen of Specs to choose new Anne et Valentin frames, there were so many fun colors and styles.  We are obsessed with the slightly larger shapes, giving the wearer tons of room to see!   Below is a taste of what  we just received…but you have to come in to see them all for yourself.

Wait, there’s more…

Our Customer of the Week is Chris!

The Opticianista did a great job helping Chris pick out some new frames.  He fell in love with both pairs of glasses and couldn’t choose, so he bought both!  The Lafont frames below are slightly on the conservative side…

while the Anne et Valentin’s are a little more on the wild side.  We love that they are so dramatically different, but still both look amazing on Chris.

Chris looks super cool in his new specs…and he is our Customer of the Week!

Our Customer of the Week is Pam!

Excitement is in the air in the windy city with the weather being unnaturally warm and sunny these past few weeks.  Sunglasses are a perfect solution against harmful UV rays and discomfort from the blinding sunlight.  Pam was excited to get her prescription in the brown and blue Anne et Valentin Solo frames.  We recommended polarized lenses to give her crystal-clear vision and to eliminate glare.  Pam looks glamorous in her new sunglasses and her peepers are protected!!!

Congrats, Pam, you look amazing…and you are our Customer of the Week!

Our Customer of the Week is Martise!

Martise was overwhelmed on his first visit at Eye Spy.  He was tired of constantly finding similar shapes and muted colors at other opticals.   We love the aviator Wonderglasses he chose which were inspired by the color of a post-it note!  He also chose a pair of chunky black Theos with bold white graphics…and a pair of geranium red and black Theos that are not pictured.

Congrats, Martise…you rocked it and you are our Customer of the Week!!!

That’s not all…there are a ton more frames below.  There is a reason she is the Queen of Specs!
