I bet you are wondering,”What in the world is SHOP Lakeview?” Well… here’s how it works:
1. Shop locally and save your receipts in the provided envelope.
2. Collect $300 worth of receipts from 5 or more Shop Lakeview merchants between Nov. 1st and Dec. 31st.
3. Turn your envelope and receipts into the Lakeview Chamber of Commerce at 1409 W. Addison and receive $50 in SHOP Lakeview Dollars for every $300 in receipts.
Note: The SHOP Lakeview Dollars are redeemable at over 100 Lakeview Businesses. Check out the full list here!
It’s a no brainer, especially if you are shopping at Eye Spy Optical for simply spectacular eyewear where it is easy to spend over $300;-)

Help us celebrate the completion of our new storefront this Saturday with holiday festivities!
We will be toasting Bob Fields, the artist & father to the Queen of Specs, who created this masterpiece. Since we introduced our new logo and new website last year, we have debating on how to redo our storefront. After many, many, many iterations on Illustrator, many people consulted, and many google image searches…we realized that we had the perfect resource: Bob Fields! He worked on these four panels tirelessly everyday for a month. Then, he spent two weeks devising brackets and installing the panels. What a brilliant job! Bob’s work on the storefront really brings the whole place together.
We will also be welcoming the start of Chanukah with treats and dreidels. To top the day off, there will also be festivities along Lincoln Ave. from Diversey to Addison! Meet the Clauses, hear carolers, and see live ice sculpture carvers from 1-4 PM. Wow!
Finally, if that isn’t enough…we are participating in a CPS Book Drive! If you have new or gently-used children’s books and stuffed animals, please bring them to Eye Spy for donation through Saturday at 4 PM.
So come and join us for fun, treats, art and a little holiday merriment!

Last, but certainly not least in our line up of trunk shows for November is… LaFont on November 24th from 11-5pm! You will be able to view and try-on hundreds of Lafont frames from the new 2013 collection.
In 1972, Philippe and Laurence Lafont created the line of Lafont glasses. The goal was to create a timeless line that lived up to the family’s history of quality eyewear and the Parisian standard of high fashion. Lafont frames are easy-to-wear shapes in beautiful colors, for kids and adults!
Trunk shows are NOT sales…they are exclusive events where the sales rep from each line brings his or her samples for all to try-on. Every sample that the rep has, will be in the store for the weekend only. The shows are open to the public on Saturdays from 11-5 PM...and BY APPOINTMENT only on Sundays.
This is your one and only chance to see every color and every shape available in the current collections. We carry a majority of each collection, but we do not have room to stock the entire collection of each line. If you have been looking for the perfect pair or have something specific in mind, this is the time to come in to Eye Spy. You will be like a kid in a candy shop!!
Oh, and did we mention that these trunk shows will be showcasing the 2013 collections that are not in any stores yet? The only drawback is: you might have to wait a few weeks or a few months to receive your frames….but it will be worth it!! See you soon:-)

For the third trunk show of the month we’ve got Theo, on November 17th from 11-5pm! You will be able to view and try-on hundreds of Theo frames from the new 2013 collection.
In 1989, Theo introduced its ground-breaking collection in Belgium to offer their clients glasses that were definitely not mainstream. Now, Theos appeal to a wider audience, but they still have a soft spot for the individualist.

The Mykita trunk show is finally here! Saturday, November 3rd you will be able to view and try on hundreds of Mykita frames.
Mykita is a small company in the heart of Berlin that has been hand-making eye wear since 2003. We love their unique patented screw-less hinge design. Mykita frames are almost indestructible since they are cut out of a thin sheet of surgical stainless steel. Their acetate (plastic) collection is just as durable with its innovative Metal Injection Molding process.
