So excited to introduce you all to the newest member of our Customer of the Week club: Kim!
Kim is the definition of “Go BIG, or GO HOME”, when it comes to buying glasses. She came to us as an eyeglass virgin. Armed only with her new Rx, she hadn’t the faintest idea of what shape she was looking for…but she knew she wanted turquoise. She quickly took a liking to the cat eyes and the round frame shape. There were so many frames that looked great on Kim … and when all was said and done, she couldn’t narrow it down any further; so the solution was to buy her top 3 favorites! Here, Kim is sporting her “a-dork-able” salmon-colored Gentle Monster “Fafala” frame.
In addition to her Gentle Monster frames, Kim also chose the Caroline Abram “Satyr” frame in turquoise and purple (which by the way she snagged in the nick of time, because this color is now discontinued!)…
And finally, the Caroline Abram “Elsa” frame, which she turned into sunglasses. Not bad, considering we also give an awesome discount to those who purchase multiple pairs at once. 
Cheers, Kim! We hope you’re loving your new frame trifecta!

Hey there all you Eye Spy-ers and funky eyewear wearers! We’d like to introduce you to a first time customer and our newest Customer of the Week: Jaime!!
Adorable Jaime came in to our shop with dreams of her perfect frame. When we asked what exactly it was that she’d been dreaming of, she said she specifically wanted an oversized frame; either red or hot pink. It was almost TOO easy. We opened the Caroline Abram case, and there it was: the perfect frame. It was like Caroline Abram made this red and magenta “Flore” frame just for Miss Jaime! She tried them on…and that was pretty much it. Love at first sight! And to make matters even sweeter, her glasses came back from the lab just in time for her birthday!
So, Happy Birthday Jaime!! We hope you and your specs are very happy together. <3

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!

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!

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!”

Our customer of the week this week is Rachel! Rachel and Rob sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G. First comes love, then comes marriage…
Finding the perfect pair of glasses can be a challenge. We *all* know this. Finding the pair you love AND will wear on your wedding day can be an added challenge.
When Rachel came through the door that’s exactly the challenge she presented to us: a dazzling pair of purple glasses that she would wear to her wedding…and continue to wear afterwards. ( Just a little pressure, it’s no big deal…) After trying on a few frames we found it, her dream frame. This beautiful, two-toned purple Anne et Valentin Dubai frame.
Rachel and her betrothed were married on October 12th at Bryn Mawr Country Club, and she was glowing!
Thanks for the beautiful photos, Rachel, and for letting us help you choose your frame for your day!

Everyone…raise your game day beers in a toast to Eye Spy’s customer of the Week: Gina!!|
Anne et Valentin “Dubai”
Gina, after much deliberation, chose to marry these Anne et Valentin Dubai frames in red with a chocolate brown accent. Mmm chocolate….they do look like candy, and good enough to eat….but I digress. The most important thing about these frames is that they were approved by Gina’s fashionista mom. And let’s be honest…mothers are ALWAYS right.

It’s Sunday Funday, folks! Which means we’ve got a new Customer of the Week! And that customer happens to be Gretchen!
We’ve been a little biased towards sunglasses these last few weeks. But come on….these are too good not to report.
Gretchen hopped on the express train to Shadyville and pulled out all the stops on not one, but TWO pairs of tricked out shades. The first ones are the purple and turquoise lace Lafont “Luxours”. You can’t really get more flashy than these.
Lafont “Luxour”
HOWEVER, in addition to what I like to refer to as the “Elton John inspired” Lafonts, Gretchen also made another bold choice in choosing these Francis Klein “Pinup” shades, adorned with guilded bumble bees! Yea that’s right….BEES! Needless to say, wherever she goes, she is going to get noticed with these spectacular works of ocular art!
