CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK – IS BACK!

Written by on March 28th 2011
We’ve had a busy couple of weeks here at Eye Spy and have let lapse one of our favorite features on this blog–the CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK!

So, who better to bring us back than FELICIA her absolutely amazing, fantastic, glorious THEO frame! We were all blown away by how awesome Felicia looks in this frame. Then, she came in to the store with her family a few days ago to try on the new Theo sunglasses and it was almost like the collection was made just for her!

Hey, Theo (nudge nudge), we think you found your new muse/model/inspiration forever.

Variety is the spice of life!

Written by on March 9th 2011

I just had a really great conversation with a customer. We talked about how wonderful it is to have more than one pair of glasses so you can express with your eyewear how you feel on any particular day.

Feeling like you want to be subtle? Wear the Mykita that has great angles, but, thanks to it’s stainless steel frame, doesn’t overwhelm your features.

Feeling BOLD? Wear the Theo Soixante + 1 and show the world that YES you are wearing RED glasses because you are JUST THAT AWESOME.


Feeling gritty, gross, tired, and so sick of winter you just might quit your job and move to Portugal? Save yourself the time and energy and put on a sparkly Francis Klein. They’re an instant mood booster!

Ahh, the expression that a new pair of glasses can bring to our days. That’s just one of the reasons we LOVE eyewear, it’s such a great way of speaking without saying a single word!

Our Customer of the Week this week is JULIE!

Julie chose this fantastic Anne et Valentin frame at a trunk show here at the store. During the trunk shows, we only have sample frames, so Julie patiently waited (like Matt LeBlanc in that ketchup commercial) and her frames finally arrived on VALENTINES DAY. Sweet.

Julie looks GREAT in her new frames. It seems the saying should be changed to “Adorable, perfect, charming, superb glasses come to those who wait.”

Thanks for all your patience Julie, and congratulations, you’re our CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK!

When you sit down with Oprah, you wear your very best.

Written by on February 21st 2011
Check it out!

Roseanne Barr was on Oprah recently and you KNOW she wore her very best eyewear. That’s right, a super-sleuth friend of Eye Spy spotted Roseanne wearing the Francis Klein Koko and called us to let us know how great she looked! Now, Roseanne didn’t get her frame from us (boo), but we do have TON of Francis Klein frames in stock.

We are also pretty darn clever when it comes to specializing a Francis Klein frame just for you because when it comes to the FK, you can choose the color of the frame, the color of the stones, and the shade of green your friends’ eyes will turn when they gaze upon you with unbridled jealousy.
