Employee Picks: The Theo Stetson

Written by on October 24th 2010

We are starting a new feature here on la Blog de Eye Spy

Every week we’ll feature a frame from our stock that one of our employees just LOVES.

Theo Stetson, available in seven colors!

This week, the Optician Magician selected the THEO STETSON as her pick of the week.

The Optician Magician loves the way the “Hat Series” from Theo actually look like shields. If you look closely, you will see that the front of the frame is one continuous line with no breaks in the material.

She loves the simple, yet modern design of these frames which look different from far away than they do up close.

She also loves that the Theo Stetson has an unexpected twist in the angles and construction of the frame as well as in the small variations in the color and lens shape.

So there you have it, this week’s employee pick is the THEO STETSON.


We are giddy with anticipation for our trunk shows every Saturday in November which will feature all of the new frames from our favorite lines! Hundreds of new frames, in every style and color imaginable…we’re getting dizzy just thinking about it!

And if, during the month of November, you bring canned food for donation to Lakeview Pantry, we will take $25 off your complete Rx

The Specs Therapist wrote a book!

Our very own Specs Therapist (ok, me) won the 4th annual Rose Metal Press Chapbook Contest!

The book is a small collection of very short stories (all under 1000) words.

Check out this article in Time Out! (And check out the AWESOME Francis Klein frames she’s–ok I’m–wearing in the picture!)


We have copies of the book at the store, stop on by, say hello, try on some glasses and maybe, if you’re lucky, you might leave with an autographed copy of one of these limited edition chapbooks AND a new pair of snazzy specs!

Go team Eye Spy!!!

CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK!

Written by on October 19th 2010

This week, the Customer of the Week is LESLIE!

Leslie was tons of fun to help as she tried on and ultimately chose this awesome Francis Klein sunglass frame.

Many of you may know Francis Klein as the company that makes glasses with rhinestones and flowers and carving and painted details. But they also know how to tone it down just enough, when necessary.

We love Francis Klein frames and the many personalities they can compliment. We also love this frame and think Leslie is a genius for choosing this style!

Congratulations Leslie, you’re our Customer of the Week!

Lafont’s totally awesome webpage for kids!

Written by on October 14th 2010
If you’ve visited Eye Spy recently, you know that we’ve increased our selection of frames for kids. It all started when we fell head over heels for all of the new styles Lafont was creating for kids under 12 years old. We also saw a demand from our customers for more interesting and colorful kids frames.
Now, we are doing cartwheels all over the store because Lafont has created a web page where you can see several of the Lafont kids styles online! They also have coloring pages to download and games to play!


To check out the website click here!
To check out more styles for kids stop by Eye Spy and check out our kids display with frames by Lafont, ic! berlin and Italee!

When the Specs Therapist turned 12, she got a puppy. As Eye Spy turns 12, we’ll give you something almost as awesome. Stop by the store on Saturday, October 16th from 10-6 and celebrate with in-store specials, give-aways, and food and drink! We’ll not only be celebrating our anniversary, but also the awesome frames we have in stock, including new plastic Theos, cool metal Anne et Valentins, and limited edition Rapp frames! Turning 12 is soooooooo great!

This week our Customers of the Week are Randy and Dennis! Yay!

Randy and Dennis had been customers of Eye Spy for years! Then they moved to Santa Fe where they were regularly asked where they got their awesome glasses. “Chicago” they’d say. Well, wouldn’t you know they missed Chicago so much they moved back! One of their first stops, once they were all settled in, was to Eye Spy where we welcomed them home with open arms and awesome new frames from Anne et Valentin and Theo!!!!


Randy looks so great in his new Theo frame!

And Dennis looks totally rad in his new Anne et Valentin frame!

Great choice, guys! We missed you! Congrats on being the Customers of the Week!

This week’s choice was a tough one! Our customers have really been awesome at trying new looks and choosing frames that highlight their features so well that we were tempted to name every customer from the last week as the Customer of the Week!
But one person definitely stood out from the crowd, so congratulations go to Kathy! Her choice of this new Theo frame in a purple fade really highlights her gorgeous skin and sparkling eyes!

Kathy, you look great! Congratulations, you’re our CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK!

Our Customer of the Week this week is Eileen!

Eileen has been a loyal Eye Spy Customer for years! The other day, she came in to the store to have new lenses put in some of her own fantastic Eye Spy frames. While she was here, she wanted to look for something NEW, something NOW, something MODERN and COOL!

Well, she hit it out of the park with this one. Eileen’s new Theo frame is so fresh and lively, it just brightens the whole room when she’s around.

Way to go, Eileen! You’re our CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK!

Customer of the Week!

This week we have TWO Customers of the Week!

Glen and Anne came in to the store looking for new, funky frames. We loooove when customers want to try new styles and colors. Especially when those customers look so good in so many frames!

Anne and Glen had a lot of options and it took a while to narrow down the choices. After some debate and consideration, they settled on Rapp and Anne et Valentin frames and, WOW, do they look great!



Glen and Anne look great in their new frames! We love the color and the shapes they chose, so flattering and awesome, and that’s why they are the CUSTOMERS OF THE WEEK!
