This week, our Customer of the Week is Stacie!

Stacie chose two frames when she was in the store, but this week we decided to focus on her fantastic new shades!

Stacie not only looks great in her new Anne et Valentin specs, but she’ll also be able to see just fine when the sun gets all shimmery on all of this snow and ice we’ve got hanging around.

Congratulations Stacie, you’re our Customer of the Week!

GIVE to a good cause! GET awesome glasses! Whatta deal!

Written by on December 10th 2010
This is going to be an extraordinary weekend at Eye Spy!
We have new Anne et Valentins in stock–all part of the latest collection and we can’t wait to see them on our customers!
We also have decided to help out a local organization that’s in some need. The Howard Brown Health Center is trying to achieve a fundraising goal of $500,000. Thanks to the generous donations of strangers AND friends, they are 80% of the way to their goal, but every little bit helps and we want to lend a helping hand.
SO, we are donating 1% of our profits for this weekend (Saturday, December 11 and Sunday, December 12) to the Howard Brown Health Center.
We’ll also have some hot cocoa and delicious cookies for our friends who brave the cold, YUM!

Employee Picks: Thierry Lasry Asphixy

Written by on December 5th 2010

This week the Opticianista chose a frame that spotlights just how awesome sunglasses can be All Year Round!

The Opticianista likes the orange color in this frame (look close and you’ll also see nifty gold flecks!). She likes that the orange is a bright color and that the frame has just a touch of 80s inspiration.


The frame has a confetti print, so it is not a traditional tortoise nor is it just one solid color which means that, most likely, two frames won’t look the same. The Opticianista is a fan of that unique feature of the frame, it’s something to adore about this line of sunglasses.

She also likes that it’s a cat-eye shape, but it’s one-of-a kind style makes if fashion-forward instead of a retro throwback.

And, most of all, the Opticianista is proud that Eye Spy Optical is the only store in Chicago that carries Thierry Lasry frames!
