Our Customer of the Week is Chris!!!
Chris was not too happy that he needed to start wearing glasses. To the surprise of his parents…his eyes lit up when he tried these blue Lafont frames. The frame model is Rock and its easy to see why. They really do rock!
Chris is so handsome wearing the iridescent blue frame, which is such a contrast against his dark hair and big brown eyes. We love that these frames fit him like a glove since fit is so important with children. Kids are rough on their frames so they can’t be slipping and sliding around.
Congrats Chris, you are our Customer of the Week!
Stay tuned for a posting about the Lafont trunk show on Saturday, November 26th. Phillipe and Laurence Lafont started their company in Paris in 1972 with the goal of creating a line that was timeless. They have a great eye for balancing shape and color and are known for their exquisite patterns.

Our Customer of the Week is Lisa!!!
Doesn’t Lisa look dreamy in her new Lafont frames? She was planning on purchasing the same frame in a conservative brushed tortoise hue…but we couldn’t let her when the purple was so much more flattering! Her eyes pop behind the gorgeous translucent color. We also love that the fun cat-eye shape gives her so much area to see out of.
Don’t forget…the Lafont trunk show is on Saturday, November 26th from 11am-5pm. Come out and see all the new Lafont frames and try on every color!

In 1989, Theo introduced its ground breaking collection in Antwerp, Belgium to offer the public frames that were not typically seen in the mainstream. The designers wanted a collection that appealed to the individualist, frames worn not only as a necessity but as a unique art piece . Theo also introduced the Eyewitness Collection in 1995 which is an asymmetrical line designed to be in harmony with your individual face!
Trunk shows are a good way to see 2011 collections in 2012. Below is a sneak peek of some new styles that were shown at the trade show in Paris last month and will be here on Saturday. Don’t forget – if you would like to view the Theo frames on Sunday just call for an appointment!

Our Customer of the Week is Natalie!
Natalie looks so happy in her new Theo frames. The mosaic-style texture is unique and the pink hue is gorgeous against her skin. Natalie’s parents have been coming to Eye Spy for almost ten years, so when Natalie grew out of her old pair they knew exactly where to take her. She was on the search for large retro-inspired glasses that had some flair…and these were the perfect match!
Don’t forget that the Theo Trunk Show is this Saturday. Come and see the newly-released Theo collection and try on every color available!!! Stay tuned…I will be posting a blog specifically about Theos with more exciting photos and information
