CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK!

Written by on April 11th 2009

Wow, it was a tough choice this week! Everyone had big smiles not only because of their awesome new specs! But also because (even though it’s been cold and windy) the sun came out this week!

After a difficult deliberation process and many long hours in the judges room, we have decided upon a CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK! So, congratulations to JOHN P!

John chose a classic frame by Lafont. It is part of their reedition series of frames. Classic shapes made modern with improved materials and manufacturing.


Don’t they make his blue eyes BLUE?!

Congratulations, John!

And a reminder–for the whole month of April, Eye Spy is celebrating a GREEN SCENE. If you ride your bike or the CTA to Eye Spy, you get 10% off a pair of Rx specs. If you donate an old pair of glasses, you receive $25 off a new pair of Rx frames! So come on by and celebrate a greener earth with Eye Spy!

TWO, eye said, TWO CUSTOMERS OF THE WEEK

Written by on March 22nd 2009

oops! We took a little nap and forgot to choose a CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK last week, so today, we’re naming TWO, that’s right, TWO CUSTOMERS OF THE WEEK!

First, congratulation to MARY D


Mary chose a delightful RED frame by THEO. The color and the shape make her brown eyes look so big and pretty! Great choice, Mary!

Our second CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK is our neighbor, SANDY D. Sandy isn’t used to wearing her glasses all the time, so she chose a light and subtly sparkley frame to make her feel and look comfortable and fun at the same time.


HOORAY to our CUSTOMERS OF THE WEEK!

CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK

Written by on March 5th 2009

Congratulations to JODY, our CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK!


Jody normally sports a really fantastic and architectural pair of Theos. When she stopped by the store last month, we chose a frame that was a little more subtle, but still really fun and expressive of Jody’s amazing personality. Lookin‘ good, Jody!

Jody’s friend, Heidi, brought her into the store to look at our funky eye wear. If you have a friend you think would dig our frames, send them in to the store! With your referral, your friend receives $25 off their purchase* of a complete pair of glasses (frame and lenses) and you receive $25 your next purchase* of a complete pair of glasses at Eye Spy! It’s like really lovely optical fashion karma.

*one discount per purchase

and new glasses from Lafont and Grotesque!

purple and rhinestones…my favorite combo!

dig that herringbone pattern…love it!

retro frames…no harry potter jokes, please.

and check out the temples on these handsome frames!

and now, what you all have been waiting for….
Our newest addition to the Eye Spy family: Grotesque Eyewear!
It definitely is not grotesque, in fact, it is the opposite:-)

fun colors…smaller shapes…

and you thought the Lafont temples were cool….hold on to your horses, cowboy!

the specs therapist took some great pics….but there is much more to see!
jump on your bike and peddle over to eye spy…we’d love to see you:-)
