In her natural habitat, the Anne et Valentin Sunglass frame lolls about the store, sunning her handmade frame in the spring light.
Listen closely and you can hear the wind rustle the grass, you can hear the birds singing, but you can also hear the sound of danger, lurking in the weeds…!
The Anne et Valentin Sunglass frame springs into action, protecting her young from the harmful UV rays of the Sun, narrowly avoiding damage to the cornea and a future filled with cataracts and wrinkles!
Phew!
Wow, eyewear is SO EXCITING!
And a reminder–for the whole month of April, Eye Spy is celebrating a

I think it’s true when people say that great style runs in the family. I mean, check out Jason and Izzy!
When Jason was in the store picking up his new Anne et Valentin frame (what a cool shape!), his son, Izzy, put on some Julbo sunglasses and POW! Insta-cool. He’s like a mini-James Dean!
How could we resist? With style like this, we just had to make Jason and Izzy our CUSTOMERS OF THE WEEK!
Congrats, guys! You’re our Customers of the Week and our new style icons!

Did someone say party?
Gasp! It’s the ic! berlin gang! They’re so cool! Do you think they’ll invite us to the beach bonfire? Swoon!

One of my favorite names in the whole world is Doris. Honest. I mean, I can’t think of a single Doris who wasn’t/isn’t totally awesome. Think about it: Doris Day, Doris Lessing, and Doris, our CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK!
Doris is a longtime customer and friend of Eye Spy. Now that the weather is warm, we get to see more of Doris and her adorable dog, Chucky! Doris chose these awesome Francis Klein sunglasses just in time for sunny weather!
Welcoming Spring in style!
Great choice, Doris! Your new Francis Klein sunglasses look fantastic!

Congratulations to Jamie, our CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK!
Jamie bought glasses at Eye Spy several months ago and then returned to his home in…Mexico! We asked him to send us a picture so we could vicariously live through the warm weather during our Chicago winter. Well, wouldn’t you know, Jamie sent us a pic just in time for a March snowstorm!
We love these frames on Jamie and we love that he made us all smile on a snowy day!
Congratulations Jamie, you’re our CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK!

Filed under: Lafont, NEWS!
Lafont has been decorating the faces of
myopes,
hyperopes, and
presbyopes for over 80 years!
Lafont eyewear has a beautiful and timeless style and to celebrate that fact, they’ve brought back several of their classic designs as part of the
Lafont reedition line.
I just couldn’t contain my joy at the constant arrival of more and more Lafont reedition frames at Eye Spy. I was so enamored, I had to write a poem, I hope Elizabeth Barret Browning doesn’t mind:
Oh, Lafont Reedition, how do I love thee, let me count the ways
I love thee to the keyhole bridge and generous lens height
My soul can see, I never feel without sight
For the eyes you provide such grace
I love thee ‘cuz you balance out my big, round face
I need you morning, noon, and night
I love thee freely, I know you’re all right
I love thee purely, your sunglasses protect from uv rays
I love thee for your style and practical use
You give me no grief, you’re the bee’s knees
Oh boy, Lafont reedition frame I hope I don’t lose
My nifty cat-eye glasses, we go together like wine and cheese
You handmade objects of well-crafted design, it’s you I choose.
Lafont reedition frames, I’ll take one in each color, please
