Attention all Claire Goldsmith fans!! We love Claire as much as all of you, so we’re sad to say we’ve sold the very last CG frame in the store. And since we’re always on the hunt for funky new frames, we’ve decided to say goodbye to one line and HELLO to a new one. We’ll be introducing a RES/REI, a totally awesome, sleek, new line from Italy within the next few days.
HOWEVER…
RES/REI
…Claire Goldsmith frames will still be available via special order. So if you just HAVE to own one of her gorgeous frames, and you just happen to stumble upon one that you love, we’re more than happy to place an order for you! In addition to that, our Oliver Goldsmith sunglass line (part of the CG line) is still available in store as well.
Also, Saturday, May 11th is our Oliver Goldsmith and Caroline Abram Trunk Show, so we’ll have plenty of new sunglasses and frames to check out!! See you soon!

We are absolutely crazy about color at Eye Spy. That’s why we are in love with cellulose-based acetate frames!!! Cellulose-based acetate is the highest quality plastic for making glasses; it is strong, lightweight, and flexible. It is also natural , best for you skin, and the best material for intense bold color!
What is the difference between cellulose acetate frames and injection molded plastic frames?
Injection mold frames are made by injecting a more brittle petroleum based plastic that is liquefied, then injected into an aluminum or stainless steel mold. Colors are added through a spray application then coated and tumbled for shine. Injection mold frames are generally less expensive but considered to be lower quality and harmful to the environment:(
Unlike injection molded plastic frames, cellulose based acetate is made from natural elements. Wood pulp and cotton fibers are used to create this advanced material and it is one of the highest rated hypoallergenics in the world!!! It is also bio-degradable and from a renewable source.
This natural material arrives in sheet form and is subsequently hand-crafted using over 60 different processes. It is soft and malleable and feels nice on your skin. It takes on rich and complex color treatments and has widest range for transparency, rich colors, and finishes. More complex colorations are able to be produced by layering several colors or transparencies in layers and sandwiching them together. There are endless possibilities for these laminated acetates. Cellulose Acetate for eye wear is made by forming layers of plastic into large blocks then carefully slicing individual parts, hand polishing and finally assembling them into a frame.
Wow, that’s a lot of info, but it is important when you are in the market for new glasses! Look for the frames that will not only help you look your best…but are made with best quality plastic. May we suggest you check out some new Anne et Valentin, Theo, or Rapp frames:)

Here is a peek at the new Anne et Valentin specs we saw at the Las Vegas trade show this year…
The top two shapes “Can” and “Cure” are oversized and quirky, inspired by everything Rock-n-Roll!
The frame above, “Lou”, has great texture accented by bold pops of color…and is considered the Wonder Woman model. Who wouldn’t feel like a super hero wearing these spectacular specs?
The shades below, “Dallas” and “Dakar” are also inspired by texture and have soft but striking color combinations. Drool!!!

The Queen of Specs spotted this adorable latte-colored Fiat 500 the other day. She couldn’t help but think of fabulous frames she saw at the trade show in Las Vegas…and how great the driver would look wearing a matching pair of Oliver Goldsmith sunnies!
We love this new latte-colored frame, “Casper,” by Oliver Goldsmith. Sunglasses with clean lines, a classic shape, and a fresh new color…who can resist?!

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?
