NEW YEAR, NEW CUSTOMERS OF THE WEEK!

Written by on January 5th 2010
Happy New Year!

We are so over the moon about all of the awesome frames in the store right now that we are celebrating by naming TWO Customers of the Week!

First, we want to highlight CARYN! Caryn chose this beautiful Anne et Valentin frame in red and tortoise. We love the way Anne et Valentin frames are so bright and fun! Check ‘em out!

This expression says, “I know. I’m awesome.”

Now, check out these sparkly BLUE Francis Klein frames on Caitlin. Caitlin has been a customer of Eye Spy for a while, so when we found out she was on her way in to the store to check out new frames, we knew before she even walked in the door that this Francis Klein frame was the frame for her. We love when we are able to picture a longtime customer and the frame that would be a perfect new look. Caitlin is moving to Japan soon, good luck Caitlin! We’re sure, in these sparkly blue specs, you’ll be the toast of Japan!

Blue + rhinestones = win.

Wow! What an awesome way to start a new year! RED Anne et Valentins and BLUE Francis Kleins! 2010, you’re looking gooood!

Yes we did! It’s time for Eye Spy’s January Sale!!!! Whoo!!!

We have frames at 25% off, 50% off, and 75% off the original price! We also have some frames marked at $75!!!!! AND, we’re expecting a ton of Anne et Valentin frames, direct from France, any day now!!! Those frames will be 50% off their original prices!!!

Isn’t it fantastic how she can wear such a bold frame and the first thing you notice is her sparkling blue eyes?! That’s why we love the designs of Anne et Valentin, they have a way of making a statement, while allowing the person wearing them to still look like their own beautiful and charming self.

So, Congratulations Karen! You’re our CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK!!!

Vintage New? Vintage Old?

Written by on July 9th 2009

I love the look of chunky authentic Vintage Frames! We have a few select vintage frames left in our in-store stock at Eye Spy, but they won’t be around long and let me tell you, when then go, I’m gonna miss them!


See how cute?!

Good for me we also have Francis Klein in our lives. This line embraces the spirit of vintage frames with the construction techniques and materials of modern times:


Ok ok, and I wanted to share a picture of our hula display. Sometimes it’s just so fun to be a part of Eye Spy!!

So whether you want to go authentic with your vintage look, or if you want something a little stronger, stop on by!

CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK

Written by on March 14th 2009

It’s that time again!

This week, our CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK is Barbara B !


Barbara came into the store to try on frames and didn’t find exactly what she wanted in our stock. But a little thing like “inventory” doesn’t stop us. We contacted Anne et Valentin and asked them to send us a frame that we thought would look great on Barbara (they will send a frame for any customer to try on for a small deposit). Barbara tried on the frame, liked it, and ordered lenses.

The frame fits Barbara *perfectly!* The color makes her eyes look so so blue! And the shape! It’s so unique, but on Barbara, it looks natural.
Congrats to Barbara, our CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK!!
