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. :-)

Customer of the Week!

Presenting our Beautiful Customer of the week Querida…in her new sassy-pants Francis Klein Ginga frames!

Querida came in on a whim wanting frames that are as sassy as she is. Well, we sure did find them! We had a tough call between two frames but these ones really are perfect for her. Querida’s style and flair inspired our Specs Wrangler to get an asymmetrical haircut as well! Thanks for being so awesome Querida and being our sassy customer of the week!

Check out her frames up close. Love the frame but not the color? Don’t worry Francis Klein will make it almost any color of the rainbow!

Allow us to introduce Tracee, our beautiful customer of the week!

As a close friend of our Opticianista, Tracee has visited Eye Spy Optical many, many, many times….and every time she stops in to say hi, she tries on our simply spectacular specs. Of course. How can anyone resist? After almost going for a raspberry-colored pair of titanium Theos, Tracee changed course and went for these leopard-print Francis Klein Wing frames. She looks pretty darn sexy in these cat-eyes….but who wouldn’t?!

Tracee is quite the “jill of all trades” ranging from a killer hair dresser, makeup artist to a awesome painter. Are you  curious what her work looks like? (Come on, you know you are.) Check it out here.

Written by on February 7th 2013

We have a new lady in the house! Join us in welcoming Adrienne, our new Optical Chanteuse!! We are stoked to have another curly-haired gal join the team!

ROCKIN’ THE VISIONARY FRAME BY RVS

We asked Adrienne a few questions just so everyone could get to know her a little better before you let her pick out your new dreamy glasses.

What catches your wee eye at Eye Spy?
Um…. the rad ladies I now get to work with. Seriously.

What is your favorite thing in the entire world?
CHOCOLATE!  It makes everything okay.

If your house was on fire what would you save?
My Cat, Ophelia, my phone….and my Lucky brand boots.

What is your fave role you played?  (Side Note: Adrienne is an actress, in case you didn’t catch that.) 
Jenny Diver, from Three Penny Opera.

Why make the move to Chicago?
Wanted to live in a big city that wasn’t too big. I wanted to be surrounded by arts and culture.

What do you do in your free time?
If I am not in a show…..usually trying to catch up on some quality Hulu time with my man.

 

Adrienne is currently obsessed with the Visionary frame by RVS. We can’t wait for everyone to meet our brand-spankin’ new optician. Come on in and let her sing you a song.

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!!
