Wild on Eye Spy

Written by on April 7th 2010

In her natural habitat, the Anne et Valentin Sunglass frame lolls about the store, sunning her handmade frame in the spring light.

Listen closely and you can hear the wind rustle the grass, you can hear the birds singing, but you can also hear the sound of danger, lurking in the weeds…!


The Anne et Valentin Sunglass frame springs into action, protecting her young from the harmful UV rays of the Sun, narrowly avoiding damage to the cornea and a future filled with cataracts and wrinkles!

Phew!

Wow, eyewear is SO EXCITING!


And a reminder–for the whole month of April, Eye Spy is celebrating a GREEN SCENE. If you ride your bike or the CTA to Eye Spy, you get 10% off a pair of Rx specs. If you donate an old pair of glasses, you receive $25 off a new pair of Rx frames! So come on by and celebrate a greener earth with Eye Spy!

Like father like son

I think it’s true when people say that great style runs in the family. I mean, check out Jason and Izzy!


When Jason was in the store picking up his new Anne et Valentin frame (what a cool shape!), his son, Izzy, put on some Julbo sunglasses and POW! Insta-cool. He’s like a mini-James Dean!

How could we resist? With style like this, we just had to make Jason and Izzy our CUSTOMERS OF THE WEEK!

Congrats, guys! You’re our Customers of the Week and our new style icons!

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.
