Congrats to our Eye Spy/Time Out Chicago contest winner, FRED L!
Fred won a free pair of eyeglasses care of Eye Spy Optical! It was a lot of fun choosing a frame for Fred, he was digging the classic look of the Anne et Valentin sunglasses, which are vintage inspired, but have a definite modern quality to their use of angles and color.
Fred settled on a blue Anne et Valentin sunglass frame:
What a lucky guy!

Our CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK this week is SHELDON!
Sheldon came to us looking for a round tortoise frame a la William Gibson:
I’m William Gibson, I wrote Neuromancer.
We liked the inspiration of a round frame for Sheldon, but we knew he could pull off something a little bolder. He looks *great* in this frame from the Anne et Valentin Factory series.
makin’ Gibson jealous
Not only is this a great look, but the frame itself is nice and strong with reinforced hinges. The design of the frame is really special, with edges hand cut to give the sides multiple angles.
Great choice, Sheldon, and congratulations on being our CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK!

Oh my!
I just stumbled upon what may be one of the happiest places on the Internet!
A blog devoted to ***vintage eyewear***
Two teenagers modeling “Boy Watcher” glasses, California, 1965.
Vintage shapes are very much “in” right now and it’s fun to look at all of these styles. But buying actual vintage frames creates the risk of breakage when putting prescription lenses in the frame.
That’s why I’m so very delighted to have lines like Francis Klein and Lafont bringing back the vintage shapes. And who would I be to forget my lovely Theo, they’ve been taking inspiration from these vintage geek shapes and re-making them with titanium in bright colors!
Oh joy joy joy, it’s such a lovely day to look at AWESOME GLASSES!
