CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK!

Written by on July 24th 2010

This week, our Customer of the Week is….. NOEL!

Noel fell in love with this frame and the cool retro style of Lafont’s reedition aesthetic. We have to agree. The more we look at this picture, the more we see that this Lafont frame is the perfect fit!


Congratulations, Noel, you’re our Customer of the Week!*

* Okay, so Noel is married to the Queen of Specs, but I cross my heart! it had no impact on the decision to name him Customer of the Week. Pinky swear!

These private eyes are waaaatching you!

Written by on July 20th 2010

You know, there’s a reason we call eyewear “frames.”

Your eyes are works of art; the color, shape and expressions of your eyes is yours and yours alone. Why not highlight your baby blues (or heavenly hazels, or bewitching browns, or girlicious greens…) with a frame that lives up to the windows to your soul?

Check out this article in Today’s Red Eye about the intriguing and alluring aspects of the eye(s).

Here’s a note from the Red Eye article:

If you’ve seen giant costumed eyeballs this past weekend at Millennium Park, Wrigley Field, Navy Pier, and Lincoln Park Zoo, it’s part of “Think About Your Eyes Week,” an effort to raise public awareness about the importance of annual eye exams. This week’s Eye Health Summit in Chicago hosted by the Foundation for Eye Health Awareness will bring together organizations and industry leaders so they can work together on ways to highlight the need for improved eye health.

Cool!

I couldn’t help it, all while writing this post, this song was running through my head!

SUMMER FUN!

Written by on July 15th 2010
We’ve had a blast over the past couple of weeks, helping our super-awesome and totally fun customers find some truly fantastic frames!
So much fun, in fact that we have not one, not two, but THREE, yes THREE Customers of the Week!
First up is Sissie:

The Optician Magician helped Sissie find these ic! berlin frames and they fit her perfectly!

When Sissie found Eye Spy, she had never felt 100% comfortable in her glasses. But, when she picked up her new frames, she told us that our doctor (the awesome Karen Squier, OD) made her feel really comfortable and was thorough with the exam. We’ve always known that Dr. Squier is one of the most patient and thorough doctors around, but it was really nice to hear that from a customer! We are so happy that we were able to help Sissie find an ic! berlin frame and Hoya ID lenses that makes her feel comfortable and confident! Hooray!
Next we have Diane:
The Specs Therapist is all about helping our customers go on vacation in style.
Diane tried on a few pairs of sunglasses, but when she found these Lafonts, we knew, these were the ones! Alas! Diane was about to go on vacation and needed the sunglasses ASAP! We did our best and made them as quickly as possible and just days before her trip, Diane was able to pick up her brand new, absolutely fantastic, Lafont sunglasses!

And last, but certainly not least, we have Larissa:

Our Opticianista is a matchmaker like no other when it comes to Theos.

I feel like this is a Cinderella situation. Sometimes there is a frame in the store that is so remarkable and awesome that it is just waiting for the right person. The frame is just waiting for that perfect fit and personality and when it happens, WOW! Magic. Bells. Angels singing. Rainbows sparklings. Stars shining. Larissa and this Theo frame go together like rama lama lama ke ding a de dinga dong.

Hooray for our customers! They’ve made this hot hot summer SUPER COOL!

CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK

Oh, it’s been a while since we’ve posted a Customer of the Week around here! There’s been so much excitement, what with a new baby and new Theos and new Francis Kleins! It’s all been too much fun!

But you know what they say, good things come to those who wait!

We think our newest Customer of the Week looks so spectacular in his new frames that it was worth waiting for:


We love this Theo frame on Robert so so much! The color makes his blue eyes shine(!) and the green is just enough. What a great choice!

Congratulations Robert, you’re our CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK!

CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK!

Written by on June 15th 2010

What perfect timing! Just a few days ago, we were waxing rhapsodic about Theo and this weekend, Christopher picked up his brand new Theo Eyewitness frames!

How cool are these?!

Christopher found a pair in the store, but our frame was mostly black. He wanted something a little brighter, so we ordered two colors for him to try, he chose the silver and black, and wow-oh-wow, do they look great!

Congratulations, Christopher, you’re our CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK!

Don’t forget that Sunday is Father’s Day!
Show your dad you care
with a nifty new pair of sunglasses!
