Three cheers for our new customer of the week: Amy!! Watch out fellow baseball moms. Amy’s new frames are bound to make you a little jealous! 
Amy came looking for something cute and fresh, but not too over the top. Ya know, that look where it seems like you just effortlessly threw something together even though you actually thought it out and carefully executed it? That’s exactly what these Anne et Valentin “Octet” frames in amethyst with mint green temples accomplish. Am I right?! These are the fourth pair of Anne et Valentin frames that Amy’s added to her roster, and they’re definitely a home run!

Three cheers for the new Customers of the Week: Siamak & Meret!!!
This cool couple walked outta here with some of the coolest specs around. Their journey began many many months ago when Siamak first found these Anne et Valentin “Electric” frame in white with red and blue trim last January! (That’s longer than most of my relationships. HEYOO!)
*ahem* Moving on… Meret found her Rapp “Rosalind” frame in this beautiful purple/brown gradient on the year anniversary that Siamak found his frames. AWWWW!!!
This couple definitely has the cutest Valentine’s Day-esque “frame love story” ever, so they definitely earned this Customer of the Week spot!

Serina has left us for Austin, Texas with her husband and baby. . . but, on a happy note, we have a brand-new lady optician in the house!
Siobhan hails from Connecticut and brings 10 years (yes, ten years!) of optician experience with her! She is similar to Serina, in that they both look great in almost every frame that they try-on. Or at least in seems that way so far. Are we jealous? Maybe, but we’ll get over it. Anywho, we are so lucky to have her joining our team…so let’s meet Siobhan:-)
We quized her a bit to help y’all get to know her a smidge…while she modeled Anne et Valentin Octet.
This cat lady has 4 cats, 14 pairs of glasses and only 2 pair of sunglasses!
What is your favorite thing in the world?
SCARVES!
Your house is on fire! What three things do you save?
MY CATS! My boyfriend can get himself out, right?! And the heirloom jewelry that my parents gave me.
What catches your eye at EYE SPY?
All the funky decorations! It looks like somewhere I would want to live!
If you could be any sea creature what would it be?
Do sea otters count? They are so cute! They sleep holding hands!
What is something most people don’t know about you?
I am afraid of needles. . . (mind you Siobhan is completely covered in tattoos, in her words: she has one big one).
Do you have a hidden talent?
I can make a mean vodka body scrub!
Swing in, grab some sale frames, and meet our new lady! We think she’s pretty great!

Our customer of the week this week is Rachel! Rachel and Rob sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G. First comes love, then comes marriage…
Finding the perfect pair of glasses can be a challenge. We *all* know this. Finding the pair you love AND will wear on your wedding day can be an added challenge.
When Rachel came through the door that’s exactly the challenge she presented to us: a dazzling pair of purple glasses that she would wear to her wedding…and continue to wear afterwards. ( Just a little pressure, it’s no big deal…) After trying on a few frames we found it, her dream frame. This beautiful, two-toned purple Anne et Valentin Dubai frame.
Rachel and her betrothed were married on October 12th at Bryn Mawr Country Club, and she was glowing!
Thanks for the beautiful photos, Rachel, and for letting us help you choose your frame for your day!

Angela! Oh Angela, how we love you…and your sister’s great taste in glasses!
Angela fell in love with these Theo Soixante-Deux frames….and had to have this beautiful tortoise and purple color, so we special ordered it for her:-) Theo frames are available in at least 8 different colors…and some frames are available in 20 different colors!! OMG.
Usually, we do not have all 8 colors in-store….
BUT, this Saturday the 16th, we are having a trunk show with every shape AND every color in the Theo collection!! Don’t faint…just come in and try-on everything!
Angela’s sister, Ann, was our customer of the week this summer in her Francis Klein frames:-)
AND Ann purchased these Anne et Valentin frames in 2009…
Thanks for coming to Eye Spy for more than 10 years and letting us fit your beautiful faces:-) xox.

Documented for the Capture the Road, a cross country photography project by Chris Hershman & Amanda Farmer…Eye Spy’s new video lookbook is nothing short of fabulous! Sit down, relax…and feast your eyes on the hand-crafted eyewear and beautiful scenery.
Capture The Road Presents: An Eye Spy Optical Film from Chris Hershman on Vimeo.
Chris and Amanda are city dwellers and long-time friends with one thing in common; their many passions and talents don’t fit neatly inside “the box”. On July 16th, they took a break from their 9-5s and made a 12-day-long road trip across the country.
Their goal on this journey was to step outside of the box, meet new people, see the countryside, capture beautiful images, and explore the many facets of themselves. This is where they documented their journey as artists, philosophers, travelers, and lovers of people. This is where they captured the road.
