YES, we already have a wooden frame line at Eye Spy….but this one is a little different, of course!
Meet Anni Shades! A new, small line of wooden frames made in the Midwest. Ohio, to be exact.
This small company makes every frame to order, so we were able to pick out custom color inlays that peek out in between the layers of beautiful wood. In addition, they plant a tree for every pair purchased:-)
We should have our order within the next week or two, so check back for pictures of our newest collection!

We were sooo excited when we saw all the new Anne et Valentin frames at the trade show in March! We ordered just a *wee* bit more than our budget! We are still waiting for a bunch of our order…since handmade frames take a long time to make:-(
While we are waiting, though, our sales rep from Anne et Valentin is going to bring the entire collection to Eye Spy for all to see!! Yahooo!

Yes, I *know* you are excited for Memorial Day this weeekend…but while you are enjoying a cold one and standing over the barbeque, it’s time to start thinking about your daddio. Father’s Day is next month!
These next three weeks will fly by…and before you know it, BAM. It’s Father’s Day. If you did not take our advice and get your daddio a pair of sunglasses last year, or even if you did take our advice, your dad needs a new pair of shades! Take it from us.
I also know that you do *not* want your pops getting cataracts, or wrinkles, or any other bad stuff…and he needs something to update his look. No offense. So, swing by Eye Spy and we can help you pick out that perfect pair…or at least make up a gift certificate for him:-)

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?
