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!

Filed under: CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK!, Theo
We have noticed a trend over the past 15 years here at Eye Spy. People LOVE their Theo Eyewear. The frames are handmade in Belgium and have style of their own.
Some of our customers love their Theo’s so much, they keep them for over 8 eight years! Other customers love their Theo’s so much that they purchase one or two new pairs per year:-)
Either way, we are glad that they endure the test of time…and our cutomers have glasses that they love soooo much.
Here are a few photos of customers that have been wearing their Theo frames for over five years…and still get compliments on thier frames!

Introducing our lovely Customer of the Week… Anne!
Look how adorble Anne is in her new Theo Pourbus frames! Anne was referred to us by a random person on the street who was wearing awesome specs from…you guessed it: Eye Spy Optical! (note: she got referral discount!) Ann was very happy that she listened to the kindness and suggestion of a stranger for her first pair of glasses….and as she put it so aptly, “If you have to wear glasses, they might as well have some pop.” Agreed. Check out the detail on this beauty!
Thanks for being so much fun Anne!

Niloca Pile
- We have been waiting (in the freezing cold) for our new line to get here. It sure did take them long enough to get here … perhaps because the goodies came from Australia….or maybe it was a combo of Chiberia and Snowpocalypse. What matters is that Niloca is here NOW!
- With the tag line of “…unsuitable for ubiquitous consumption,” they surely do not disappoint!
Greca. Geric. Grandi frames
-
“Niloca has a heart or rather 4. Niloca is a family operation, quite often based at the kitchen table. There are no aspirations to appease hipsters or mass market saturation, just the supply of interesting eyewear to select independent optical purveyors for the delight of eyewear individualists everywhere.”
Come in and try-on these dreamboats! Pssssst… we are the only ones in the states that have them! Bam!

Filed under: CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK!, Francis Klein, Rapp
Greetings Eye Spyers!!
We have a new Customer of the Week to introduce!
She goes by the name of SHEILA!!
Sheila first chose these beautiful turquoise and red Francis Klein “Risk” frames with red and silver stones and decor. We LOVE what that beautiful blue frame front does for those pretty peepers!! And we had this color combo made just for us…so Sheila is the only lady in world with this frame:-) How cool.
Sheila also couldn’t walk away from these pink and gray gradiant Rapp “Jane” frames, so she got both! We couldn’t be happier that these unique frames found a perfect home, and that Sheila followed out favorite motto: “If you can’t pick one…pick both!”

Check out our new Customer of the Week: JOHN!!
John is a pretty laid back guy. He’s also apparently a self proclaimed “THEO snob.” (According to our research, he’s the owner of 3 pairs of these Belgian beauties.)
So it was no surprise to us when he chose these hot THEO Dillinger’s in electric blue to adorn that wonderfully bearded face! These THEO’s are from their newest Spring 2014 collection, so we had to special order these titanium from Belgium. They are so exclusive, we don’t even have them in the store yet! THEO definitely loves you, John…and we do too!

Filed under: Anne et Valentin, NEWS!
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!

Filed under: CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK!, Mykita
We’re starting the new year off right with a new Customer of the Week! Introducing: Jamie!!
These canary yellow and white Mykita “Shirley” frames are part of Mykita’s NEW 2014 collection, so we had to special order these bad boys just for Jamie! Ironically enough, Jamie typically goes for our more funky lines (i.e. Theo & Anne et Valentin)….but her husband has been trying to get her in a pair of conservative Mykita frames for a while. Whelp…Mykita came through and brought the funkiness with these bi-colored beauties and VOILÀ!! Common ground was found!
We love everything about these frames and of course Jamie makes these look even more beautiful. You can check out this frame in other colors on Mykita’s website. Just click the link above!

We have a motto here at Eye Spy that there’s a cat-eye frame out there for everyone.
Well…Sheryl found hers! These titanium purple”Liz” frames with olive green accents are made my none other than Anne et Valentin.
Sheryl fell in love with these so hard she had them special ordered all the way from Paris in this color combo. Hey…ya do what ya gotta do! And we can’t help but love these cat-eyes too.
By the way, If you haven’t heard…we’re kind of the cat-eye connoisseurs around here. So if you like Sheryl’s cat-eyes, come check us out. We’ll find you a pair too!

Introducing our newest Customer of the Week: Lyn!!
Our favorite Aussie, Lyn, is one smart cookie! She knows how bright it can get in the winter with all the snow and glare!! So…she had to add these beautiful Oliver Goldsmith Hex sunnies to her collection.
In addition to her sunnies, Lyn –after much debate about the color– also decided on these quirky and unique Theo “Coratina” frames. Keep it fabulous, Lyn! Cheers!
Want to get a closer look at Lyn’s new signature pieces? Here they are….
