Customer Of The Week!!!

Written by on October 27th 2013

Hey Everyone!!

This Customer of the Week is a Two-fer!! Meet: Cathy!!

Caroline Abram “Gaby”

Anne et Valentin “Fanzine”

Cathy just couldn’t decide between the Caroline Abram “Gaby” cat-eyes, and the Anne et Valentin “Fanzine”…so she made the bold (and correct) decision to throw caution to the wind and get’em both! I mean…wouldn’t you?! And she is ROCKING both of these bold styles.

Thanks to Cathy for being our Customer of the Week AND for introducing our Specs Wrangler to Absolutely Fabulous, from the BBC! Patsy had never seen the show….but as soon as Cathy turned Patsy on to AbFab, it was true love!

In case you don’t know about Absolutely Fabulous….or even if you are in the know, check out this fabulous montage…and don’t laugh too hard;-)

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.

Customer of the Week!!

Written by on September 15th 2013

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!

All eyes should be on our new Customer of the Week: Lillian!

Lillian is a HUGE fan of our Theo frames, and she’s just added a new one to her collection. These fuschia and orange Theo Huitante+Quatre are sure to get anyone’s attention.

In fact, Lillian’s other Theo frames, from the Theo Eyewitness series, are what caught Adrienne’s eye on the set of “Divergent“, the YA book-turned-movie that just filmed here in Chicago.  Our own Optical Chanteuse was cast in a featured role in the film and Lillian was part of the film’s makeup team! Adrienne noticed her frames on set and instantly knew she HAD to be an Eye Spy customer.

Congrats to Lillian for being our fabulous customer of the week! We LOVE your new frames:-)

Hello friends!  I introduce to you our newest Customer of the Week: Felice!

Felice snagged these new Francis Klein “Marge” frames in this brand-new color combo! Our Optical Chanteuse, Adrienne, is a little jealous that she got to them first, but Felice and her daughter have been loyal Eye Spy-ers for years…so at least Adrienne knows these exclusive specs are in very, very good hands!

Say hello to our Customer of the Week: Debbie!!

Debbie is sporting the super hot Theo Huitante+ Sept. With their awesome pink and orange sherbet color, these frames are perfect for Debbie’s summer look!!

Debbie travelled to Eye Spy from the western suburbs in order to find glasses that she could not find anywhere else! And…it just so happened that our fabulous Theo eyewear rep was in-store when Debbie stopped in. As a result, Debbie got to try-on tons of colors and shapes. We have three color combinations of this frame in-stock, but Debbie fell in love with this color…so we ordered it for her and received it in two weeks. It takes time to get frames from Belgium!

Congratulations on your Customer of the Week status Debbie!!
