Congrats to our Eye Spy/Time Out Chicago contest winner, FRED L!
Fred won a free pair of eyeglasses care of Eye Spy Optical! It was a lot of fun choosing a frame for Fred, he was digging the classic look of the Anne et Valentin sunglasses, which are vintage inspired, but have a definite modern quality to their use of angles and color.
Fred settled on a blue Anne et Valentin sunglass frame:
What a lucky guy!

Alissa chose these Theo frames especially for her dad, and wow does Bob look great! Lucky guy to have a daughter who can hook you up with Theo frames!

This week it’s all in the family with our CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK, Lael ! In May, his wife, Eugenie, was named our Customer of the week for her amazing luck in finding a wonderful pair of Francis Klein sunglasses on the very day they arrived in the store.
Lael had similar luck a couple of years ago with a pair of IC Berlin glasses. The IC Berlin brand has been good to Lael and when he came in to the store for a new eye exam, he knew he wanted to stick with the durable and stylin’ IC Berlin frames!
Of course, being a man of impeccable taste (he is married to Eugenie after all) Lael chose one of the newest and, if I do say so myself, awesomest IC Berlin frames in the store.
Lucky guy.
Nice choice, Lael, and congratulations on being our CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK!

I just came across a photo of IC!Berlin frames being used in a, well, creative manner. We have always told our customers how durable IC!Berlin frames are, referencing real-life incidents…such as the time a customer inadvertently got his IC!Berlin’s run over by a car and the frames were not damaged at all!! But this photo just proves how useful IC!Berlin’s really are….and how much extra time some people have on their hands!
So, remember…if you drop one of your chopsticks on the ground and can’t find another set, just take off your IC!Berlin’s, snap off the temples….and dig in. Delicious!

Our CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK this week is SHELDON!
Sheldon came to us looking for a round tortoise frame a la William Gibson:
I’m William Gibson, I wrote Neuromancer.
We liked the inspiration of a round frame for Sheldon, but we knew he could pull off something a little bolder. He looks *great* in this frame from the Anne et Valentin Factory series.
makin’ Gibson jealous
Not only is this a great look, but the frame itself is nice and strong with reinforced hinges. The design of the frame is really special, with edges hand cut to give the sides multiple angles.
Great choice, Sheldon, and congratulations on being our CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK!

This week, we’ve chosen JASON as our CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK!

Anne et Valentin and the other was this incredible blue and brown
THEO titanium frame:

Oh my!
I just stumbled upon what may be one of the happiest places on the Internet!
A blog devoted to ***vintage eyewear***
Two teenagers modeling “Boy Watcher” glasses, California, 1965.
Vintage shapes are very much “in” right now and it’s fun to look at all of these styles. But buying actual vintage frames creates the risk of breakage when putting prescription lenses in the frame.
That’s why I’m so very delighted to have lines like Francis Klein and Lafont bringing back the vintage shapes. And who would I be to forget my lovely Theo, they’ve been taking inspiration from these vintage geek shapes and re-making them with titanium in bright colors!
Oh joy joy joy, it’s such a lovely day to look at AWESOME GLASSES!
Stop by Saturday, June 13th for our Father’s Day Party featuring the frames of Maui Jim and IC!Berlin! We’ll have a party going from 11-5!
