Customer of the Week!

Written by on June 28th 2011
Our Customer of the Week is DANA!!!

We love the chocolate brown Lafont frames on Dana, the pink accents really make them pop!  This pair is sophisticated with angles that give them a modern twist. They are made of titanium which makes them super strong with half of the weight.

Lafont’s fabulous mix of colors and patterns can also be seen in Dana’s second pair.  The sunglasses get Dana ready for a summer of great Chicago weather (fingers crossed), and really give her a glow!  These lenses are polarized to help eliminate glare and give Dana a clearer view of her surroundings.

Congrats DANA, you are our Customer of the Week!!!

Employee Picks: The Lafont Esther

Written by on November 21st 2010

This weekend, we had the full Lafont collection in the store and, let me tell you, it was easy to fall in love.

One frame really stood out. The Lafont ESTHER stole my heart!

I, personally, adore the frame in this dusty rose color:

But if you stop by Eye Spy, you’ll be able to take a peek at this frame in black and leopard.

I love the contrast between the plastic sides and the titanium front. It’s a great way to give the frame a bold look without adding a lot of weight.

I also J’ADORE the little metal decoration at the temples. They’re like a 50s car and they say, “Yes, I am this wonderful.”

The frame is a fairly traditional cat-eye shape, but it doesn’t swoop too much, so the focus is still on the face and delightful eyes of the person wearing it. The Lafont Esther is just one of those frames that makes my heart sing and my feet dance dance dance all the way to Eye Spy!



It’s almost time to bid adieu to our November trunk shows, which have featured all of the new frames from our favorite lines! Hundreds of new frames, in every style and color imaginable. Come in next weekend for the IC! BERLIN Trunk Show on Saturday, November 27 from 11-5!

And if, during the month of November, you bring canned food for donation to Lakeview Pantry, we will take $25 off your complete Rx eyewear purchase.

Lafont’s totally awesome webpage for kids!

Written by on October 14th 2010
If you’ve visited Eye Spy recently, you know that we’ve increased our selection of frames for kids. It all started when we fell head over heels for all of the new styles Lafont was creating for kids under 12 years old. We also saw a demand from our customers for more interesting and colorful kids frames.
Now, we are doing cartwheels all over the store because Lafont has created a web page where you can see several of the Lafont kids styles online! They also have coloring pages to download and games to play!


To check out the website click here!
To check out more styles for kids stop by Eye Spy and check out our kids display with frames by Lafont, ic! berlin and Italee!

When the Specs Therapist turned 12, she got a puppy. As Eye Spy turns 12, we’ll give you something almost as awesome. Stop by the store on Saturday, October 16th from 10-6 and celebrate with in-store specials, give-aways, and food and drink! We’ll not only be celebrating our anniversary, but also the awesome frames we have in stock, including new plastic Theos, cool metal Anne et Valentins, and limited edition Rapp frames! Turning 12 is soooooooo great!

SUMMER FUN!

Written by on July 15th 2010
We’ve had a blast over the past couple of weeks, helping our super-awesome and totally fun customers find some truly fantastic frames!
So much fun, in fact that we have not one, not two, but THREE, yes THREE Customers of the Week!
First up is Sissie:

The Optician Magician helped Sissie find these ic! berlin frames and they fit her perfectly!

When Sissie found Eye Spy, she had never felt 100% comfortable in her glasses. But, when she picked up her new frames, she told us that our doctor (the awesome Karen Squier, OD) made her feel really comfortable and was thorough with the exam. We’ve always known that Dr. Squier is one of the most patient and thorough doctors around, but it was really nice to hear that from a customer! We are so happy that we were able to help Sissie find an ic! berlin frame and Hoya ID lenses that makes her feel comfortable and confident! Hooray!
Next we have Diane:
The Specs Therapist is all about helping our customers go on vacation in style.
Diane tried on a few pairs of sunglasses, but when she found these Lafonts, we knew, these were the ones! Alas! Diane was about to go on vacation and needed the sunglasses ASAP! We did our best and made them as quickly as possible and just days before her trip, Diane was able to pick up her brand new, absolutely fantastic, Lafont sunglasses!

And last, but certainly not least, we have Larissa:

Our Opticianista is a matchmaker like no other when it comes to Theos.

I feel like this is a Cinderella situation. Sometimes there is a frame in the store that is so remarkable and awesome that it is just waiting for the right person. The frame is just waiting for that perfect fit and personality and when it happens, WOW! Magic. Bells. Angels singing. Rainbows sparklings. Stars shining. Larissa and this Theo frame go together like rama lama lama ke ding a de dinga dong.

Hooray for our customers! They’ve made this hot hot summer SUPER COOL!


You know what else is cool? SUNGLASSES! The Eye Spy annual sunglass sale is only weeks away. For the entire month of August every pair of sunglasses in the store will be on sale! Come on in and get that frame you’ve been dreaming of!
