CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK!

Written by on February 23rd 2014

Happy Sunday everyone!! Meet our newest Customer of the Week: Stacie!!

L_STACIE
We couldn’t have picked a better customer/frame match here, folks. Caroline Abram makes some pretty sweet cat eyes, but it takes a special person to rock them with finesse and class. Whelp, Stacie does that and more with this Caroline Abram “Ines” frame in red and cherry. Stacie looks like she came camera-ready for this photo shoot, but that’s just her natural beauty accentuated by those stunning specs!

CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK!!!

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!

We’re starting the new year off right with a new Customer of the Week! Introducing:  Jamie!!

These canary yellow and white MykitaShirley” frames are part of Mykita’s NEW 2014 collection, so we had to special order these bad boys just for Jamie! Ironically enough, Jamie typically goes for our more funky lines (i.e. Theo & Anne et Valentin)….but her husband has been trying to get her in a pair of conservative Mykita frames for a while. Whelp…Mykita came through and brought the funkiness with these bi-colored beauties and VOILÀ!! Common ground was found!

We love everything about these frames and of course Jamie makes these look even more beautiful. You can check out this frame in other colors on Mykita’s website. Just click the link above!

Introducing our newest Customer of the Week: Lyn!!

Our favorite Aussie, Lyn, is one smart cookie! She knows how bright it can get in the winter with all the snow and glare!! So…she had to add these beautiful Oliver Goldsmith Hex sunnies to her collection.

 

In addition to her sunnies, Lyn –after much debate about the color– also decided on these quirky and unique Theo “Coratina” frames. Keep it fabulous, Lyn! Cheers!

 Want to get a closer look at Lyn’s new signature pieces? Here they are….

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.

New Line Alert: Gentle Monsters

Written by on September 8th 2013

Hey Everyone!!

We’re introducing a new line to the Eye Spy sales floor! Gentle Monster, a line hand-crafted in S. Korea, takes on modern edges with sleek angles. Their business model is built around the motto of “INNOVATIVE EXPERIMENT.” These frames take on attributes of the classics, but with an update. They incorporate interchangeable face-plates and clip-on sunglasses, which make them some of the most diverse frames out there. OH…and we are the only store the United States with this fabulous line!! 

These frames break the mold…literally. Instead of using the traditional injection molding, these pieces of art are actually carved out a sheet of acetate and molded by hand.

So if you’re looking for the classic look with an edgy updated persona…these little monsters are definitely for you!

Customer of the Week!!

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:-)
