CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK!

Ahh, so many weeks we've chosen one or more lovely customers to spotlight here.... we've just been reminiscing and we've decided that, this week, we're going to say THANK YOU to all of our previous choices for CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK!

These lovely faces show how great it is to take a chance on a RED frame or a BLUE frame! They represent the whimsical side of Anne et Valentin frames, the fantastic structure of ic! berlin frames, and the intriguing angles of Theo frames. These faces are what make Francis Klein glasses sparkle, they are what make Frost frames come alive and they show why Lafont is a good and reliable friend when it comes to quality eyewear. These customers have helped us welcome Grotesque and Claire Goldsmith to Eye Spy, they've modeled our eyewear in advertisements on postcards, in magazines, and even on El platforms!

Everybody wants to be a cool kid, cool kid.

We love our customers, each and every one, but right now, here's to the Eye Spy friends who have found themselves in our CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK spotlight! Cheers!





Yes we did! It's time for Eye Spy's January Sale!!!! Whoo!!!

We have frames at 25% off, 50% off, and 75% off the original price! AND, we have a ton of Anne et Valentin frames and IC! Berlin frames that we received especially for the sale at 40% to 50% off their original prices...unbelievable.

We do this because we love you so much.

CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK!

This week our Customer of the Week! is ANNIE RANTILLA!!!

Annie's brother is a long-time customer of Eye Spy and he sent his sister to us for some brand new specs. Annie walked in the door and said "I want awesome new glasses." She had us at "awesome."

Immediately, we knew the perfect frame for her. After trying on a few super-fun frames, including a purple Anne et Valentin frame that came in a close second, Annie's heart returned to these Claire Goldsmith frames--it was fate!

This is the first frame she tried on, and boy, does she look great! We've got to pat ourselves on the back for this one, sometimes a person walks in the store and we get all Matchmaker Matchmaker and we just know that one frame in the store that belongs with a particular person. It's like Cupid's arrows all over the place in here.

Love at first Sight!

We just love how these Claire Goldsmith frames are so big and fun, but the first thing you see in this photo are Annie's bright blue eyes and welcome smile!

Congratulations, Annie! You're our CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK!

Winter Wonderland!

At Eye Spy, we love winter!

OK, we don't love the low temperatures or the slushy, wet snow, or the delayed buses and head colds.

We DO love hot chocolate that somehow tastes sooo much better when it's cold outside!
And we really love cozy sweaters and scarves.

And wow-oh-wow, do we love to decorate the store and make it a Winter Wonderland inside and out!

Inside, we have a new eyewear line, Claire Goldsmith, direct from jolly old England. We also have a TON of new Eyebobs readers and bucketloads of new Theo frames, Anne et Valentin frames, Francis Klein frames, and Lafont frames.

Outside, we've put up sparkling lights in the window so that, even when it snows, you'll be able to find Eye Spy's shining lights on Lincoln Ave.

Doesn't it just look so warm and cozy in there?

We put up our favorite window decorations, included a section for Christmas with little elves an ornaments and a Chanukah section with a menorah handmade by our own Queen of Specs!

We've made the store a cozy and warm place to hang out and get out of the cold while you're looking for new glasses to go with your winter wardrobe.

Stop by and say hello!
