Do you have Double VisiOn???

Written by on October 18th 2011
It’s so much fun when our customers buy the same frames that we personally own!  Barbara just picked up these retro Theo frames in beautiful green texture which Serina currently has in luscious plum/periwinkle.

Susie and Alissa have been friends since they were in fourth grade and BFFs must have the same glasses!  Since Francis Klein frames are customizable…they both picked out the same model with totally different colors/decorations.  It matches each of their personalities perfectly!!!  
Zenia is attracted to bold colors and is always willing to take risks.  I got a pair of matte geranium red  Theos only a couple of months ago…and I was so excited when Zenia decided on the same pair.  It is surprising that two different people with polar opposite hair color can pull off the same glasses so well.

Customer of the Week!!!

Written by on October 9th 2011
Our Customer of the Week is Lauren!!!  Lauren is a singer/songwriter that visited us from sunny Los Angeles.  You may have heard one of her songs off the Pretty Woman soundtrack or during the Just Shoot Me credits.  She is one cool chick….

Lauren purchased this sparkling Francis Klein frame, Tatia, which is definitely fit for a rock star.  Francis Klein is a small company out of France that hand-makes their frames and also decorates them by hand.  This means that you can buy them as-is or have them custom-made.

Lauren chose to purchase a custom-made second frame – same model – in a leopard print.  Ooh la la, we can’t wait to see them!!!

Congrats, Lauren, you are our Customer of the Week!

p.s. you should totally check out Lauren’s website http://laurenwood.com/

Variety is the spice of life!

Written by on March 9th 2011

I just had a really great conversation with a customer. We talked about how wonderful it is to have more than one pair of glasses so you can express with your eyewear how you feel on any particular day.

Feeling like you want to be subtle? Wear the Mykita that has great angles, but, thanks to it’s stainless steel frame, doesn’t overwhelm your features.

Feeling BOLD? Wear the Theo Soixante + 1 and show the world that YES you are wearing RED glasses because you are JUST THAT AWESOME.


Feeling gritty, gross, tired, and so sick of winter you just might quit your job and move to Portugal? Save yourself the time and energy and put on a sparkly Francis Klein. They’re an instant mood booster!

Ahh, the expression that a new pair of glasses can bring to our days. That’s just one of the reasons we LOVE eyewear, it’s such a great way of speaking without saying a single word!

Makeover Party!
Saturday, March 26th from 12-5 PM,
Freshen up your face with a free make-up makeover by Lillian Sakamaki.
Change up your look with one of our new frames from Mykita, Anne et Valetin, Francis Klein, or one of our other fancy and delightful lines.

We will providing wine and cheese, you provide the pretty faces!

When you sit down with Oprah, you wear your very best.

Written by on February 21st 2011
Check it out!

Roseanne Barr was on Oprah recently and you KNOW she wore her very best eyewear. That’s right, a super-sleuth friend of Eye Spy spotted Roseanne wearing the Francis Klein Koko and called us to let us know how great she looked! Now, Roseanne didn’t get her frame from us (boo), but we do have TON of Francis Klein frames in stock.

We are also pretty darn clever when it comes to specializing a Francis Klein frame just for you because when it comes to the FK, you can choose the color of the frame, the color of the stones, and the shade of green your friends’ eyes will turn when they gaze upon you with unbridled jealousy.

Employee Picks: The Francis Klein Marcus

Written by on November 27th 2010
This week, the Optician Magician chose a classic frame with a modern twist, the Francis Klein Marcus!

She chose this frame because it makes a statement while being understated.


She also likes the way that it has two colors, but not in a gradient tint, as has become quite the fad lately, but that one layer of color us cut away to reveal the lighter tint below. The cut-out also creates a unique, geometric pattern at the bridge, which is noticeable when the frame is worn.

The cut out adds texture to the frame and adds a bit of sophistication to make the frame more distinguished.

This smaller, vintage look fits smaller faces and is quite affordable for a handmade high quality product.

The best part, says the Optician Magician, is this frame is not flat, “It’s multi-dimensional, just like you and your personality!”

Too many flex dollars, not enough time? At Eye Spy, we accept flex dollars and will make sure that you find quality handmade glasses as well as the best possible lenses for your prescription. Just ask and we’ll be happy to help you find an *awesome* new pair of specs!
