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!
……don’t forget!…….

This week, we’ve chosen JASON as our CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK!
Jason actually bought his glasses in January. He started the year off right by buying TWO pairs of glasses; both fit his personality perfectly. One frame was a plastic
Anne et Valentin and the other was this incredible blue and brown
THEO titanium frame:
When we were trying to choose a customer of the week, we just couldn’t resist how awesome these frames look on Jason!
Congratulations, Jason, what a great choice!

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!!

No bouquet is complete without a pair of Theos.
I looked around me the other day and found myself surrounded by beautiful BLUE frames!
Ambushed by beauty.
All shapes and sizes!
You can show me a round any time!
With rhinestones!
Without rhinestones!

Go ahead and grant me three wishes, but I swear to gosh, my dreams have come true and they are BLUE!
