Customer of the Week!!!

Written by on April 4th 2012

Our Customer of the Week is Chris!

The Opticianista did a great job helping Chris pick out some new frames.  He fell in love with both pairs of glasses and couldn’t choose, so he bought both!  The Lafont frames below are slightly on the conservative side…

while the Anne et Valentin’s are a little more on the wild side.  We love that they are so dramatically different, but still both look amazing on Chris.

Chris looks super cool in his new specs…and he is our Customer of the Week!

Lafont Trunk Show this Saturday!

Written by on November 22nd 2011
For all you Lafont fanatics…the Lafont trunk show is finally here! Saturday, November 26th you will be able to view and try on hundreds of Lafont frames.
Lafont was created by Phillipe and Laurence Lafont in 1972.  It was so successful that it was distributed world-wide only seven years later.  Their goal was to create a timeless line of quality eyewear that was still considered high fashion.  Lafont has repeatedly won prizes and been nominated at exhibitions in Paris, New York, and Tokyo.  The brand is known for its unique colors and patterns and 70% are exclusive to Lafont!
ooh…so smart
…so funky
…so bold
…so different!

Trunk shows are the only way to see the 2012 collections before anyone else! You will get a sneak peek of all of new styles that were shown at the trade show in Paris last month. If you cannot make it into Eye Spy on Saturday, we are having private viewings of the Lafont frames on Sunday…just call for an appointment.



We are officially open on Mondays from 11am-7pm, now through the end of January. No need for an appointment…just stop on in!!!

Customer of the Week!!!

Our Customer of the Week is Chris!!!

Chris was not too happy that he needed to start wearing glasses.  To the surprise of his parents…his eyes lit up when he tried these blue Lafont frames.  The frame model is Rock and its easy to see why.  They really do rock!

Chris is so handsome wearing the iridescent blue frame, which is such a contrast against his dark hair and big brown eyes.  We love that these frames fit him like a glove since fit is so important with children.  Kids are rough on their frames so they can’t be slipping and sliding around.
Congrats Chris, you are our Customer of the Week!

Stay tuned for a posting about the Lafont trunk show on Saturday, November 26th. Phillipe and Laurence Lafont started their company in Paris in 1972 with the goal of creating a line that was timeless. They have a great eye for balancing shape and color and are known for their exquisite patterns.

Our Customer of the Week is Lisa!!!

Doesn’t Lisa look dreamy in her new Lafont frames? She was planning on purchasing the same frame in a conservative brushed tortoise hue…but we couldn’t let her when the purple was so much more flattering!  Her eyes pop behind the gorgeous translucent color.  We also love that the fun cat-eye shape gives her so much area to see out of.

Don’t forget…the Lafont trunk show is on Saturday, November 26th from 11am-5pm.  Come out and see all the new Lafont frames and try on every color!

 

Also, stay tuned for a posting about the Anne et Valentin trunk show on Saturday, November 19th. Anne et Valentin is known for their colorful, and playful glasses. They are for the person who enjoys wearing their glasses and wants an individualistic look. As their tagline states, “Delighted to be yourself!” The collection has a large variety of plastic and metal frames for men and women….from tortoise to red to blue.

Our Customer of the Week is Lisabeth!

Even thought it was raining, these Anne et Valentin frames sure brightened our day!  Lisabeth looks so happy wearing this flattering cat-eye lens shape.  You can’t beat the teal hue and unique drop temple (when the temples start lower on the frame).

Lisabeth also looks hip, but classy in her leopard-print Lafont sunglasses.  Leopard-print is a huge trend on the runways this fall!  The frame shape is timeless and can be worn for years to come. 

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

Our Customer of the week is Maxine!!!
Maxine looks super hip in her brand new Lafont frames.  The translucent magenta color is a refreshing hue that gives her a rosy glow.  The cat-eye shape is a modern twist of a vintage shape and we adore it on her! 
What makes this frame so great is its flexibility.  Even though it is an adult frame, it is suitable for a teenager with as much style as Maxine!
Don’t forget…now through September 30th, kids lenses are 50% off, when you purchase a complete pair with Super High Vision EX3 anti-reflective coating! EX3 anti-reflective coating is highly recommended for children because it is extremely scratch-resistant and even outperforms glass lenses. Come on in before the beginning of the school year and save!!!
Rock it, Maxine, you are our Customer of the Week!!!

Our Customer of the Week is BETH!!!



We adore the deep blue Lafont frames on Beth, the hot pink splashes of color bring out the sparkle in her eyes.  The texture engraved in the temples gives the frame a unique personality and the fabulous hat completes Beth’s look!


Luckily, we suggested adding Anti-reflective coating to her lenses to keep the focus on Beth.  Anti-reflective coating is applied to the surface of lenses to reduce glare, so the lenses look like they are barely even there=)  The benefits are particularly noticeable when driving at night and when working on computers…


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