Lately it seems we have people traveling from all over to get to us! Well this week our customer of the week came all the way from North Carolina! Allow us to introduce Chistopher! He scooped up two pairs while he was in town!
Christopher in his Anni Shades
Both pairs are such different looks that Christopher could not choose! Neither could we! Thanks for making the journey to us, and being our customer of the week Christopher! Check out the detail on these beauties.
Theo Abricot Frame!
In case you have not already realized it, we love Theo! Theo was the first line of eyewear that the Queen of Specs fell in love with over 15 years ago. It was true love.
Every spring and fall, our fabuolus eyewear lines introduce new collections at the trade shows in Milan and Paris. We go to these shows to see the newest of the new…and now it is your turn to see the new Theo collection…in Chicago, which is a lot closer, but maybe not as fun;-)
Here are a few reasons:
The L’eau Series (Water Series)
The Painters Series

We’re starting the month of May off with a triple threat Customer(s) Of The Week. Meet Catherine, Linda, and Joan!!! These three ladies are a blast…can you tell?! All three ladies stopped in right before their group trip to SPAIN! Donning these WILD Theo’s and a classy Francis Klein, they are definitely ready for some jetsetting.
I wonder how you say “simply spectacular specs” in Spanish. 
Here’s a closer look at their frames:

Introducing our Customer of the Week: Penny!
Penny has definitely earned COTW with this fabulous photo, sporting these awesome Theo James 6 frames. In a world full of squares, she is definitely rocking the round specs like a pro!
As you can tell from Penny’s yellow parka, she braved the floods and rain last Thursday to pick up her new glasses. She told us that she loves them so much that she does not want to take them off…even when she goes to sleep!! Now *that* is a glowing review:-)
The James series is a series of frames that Theo’s designer James Van Vossel releases twice a year….and they all have unusual bridges! James noticed that the nosepiece is often quite visible, and he prefers a pure form, without ‘extra weight’. He wanted to design a pair of glasses with integrated nose pads, so without adding anything to the frame. James went to work in his atelier and by trial and error he found a way. Out of one thin metal plate he cut a shape in which he already provided a nosepiece. He then bent the nosepiece backwards. By doing so, there is no frame between the lens and the nose….and you get a design that misses a ‘corner’. While he was experimenting he made a round model, James 6, and a more angular shaped frame, James 5.
Here is a close-up of the James 6, so you can see the bridge detail:
Penny has quite the collection of spectacular eyewear from Eye Spy. Then again its hard NOT to stay trendy when the Queen of Specs herself is part of your family!

Our Customer of the Week is Lael!
Lael and his wife Eugenie have been coming to Eye Spy for almost ten years! Eugenie has always had a love of funky eyewear, but it took a bit of persuading to get Lael on board. A couple of years ago, Lael decided to take the plunge…he was jealous that his wife always got all the compliments. Once he bought his first fun pair, he kept coming back for more! Now, Lael and his wife are the talk of the town!!!
You rock Lael…and you are our Customer of the Week!
P.S. This is Eugenie. She is a hard act to follow!!
