Congratulations to Barbara!! We were almost as excited to fit Barbara with these limited edition Theo beauties as she was. Barbara kept giggling and giggling every time she put these frames on…so, of course, she had to get them:-)
Barbara has been a simply spectacular customer since 2001!! She usually she opts for purple frames, but sometimes you’ve just got to go a bit crazy. Right?
Here is a sneak peek of the rest of the limited edition fluorescent Theos, just in case you need a pair for yourself…

We have noticed a trend over the past 15 years here at Eye Spy. People LOVE their Theo Eyewear. The frames are handmade in Belgium and have style of their own.
Some of our customers love their Theo’s so much, they keep them for over 8 eight years! Other customers love their Theo’s so much that they purchase one or two new pairs per year:-)
Either way, we are glad that they endure the test of time…and our cutomers have glasses that they love soooo much.
Here are a few photos of customers that have been wearing their Theo frames for over five years…and still get compliments on thier frames!

Introducing our lovely Customer of the Week… Anne!
Look how adorble Anne is in her new Theo Pourbus frames! Anne was referred to us by a random person on the street who was wearing awesome specs from…you guessed it: Eye Spy Optical! (note: she got referral discount!) Ann was very happy that she listened to the kindness and suggestion of a stranger for her first pair of glasses….and as she put it so aptly, “If you have to wear glasses, they might as well have some pop.” Agreed. Check out the detail on this beauty!
Thanks for being so much fun Anne!

Check out our new Customer of the Week: JOHN!!
John is a pretty laid back guy. He’s also apparently a self proclaimed “THEO snob.” (According to our research, he’s the owner of 3 pairs of these Belgian beauties.)
So it was no surprise to us when he chose these hot THEO Dillinger’s in electric blue to adorn that wonderfully bearded face! These THEO’s are from their newest Spring 2014 collection, so we had to special order these titanium from Belgium. They are so exclusive, we don’t even have them in the store yet! THEO definitely loves you, John…and we do too!

Introducing our newest Customer of the Week: Lyn!!
Our favorite Aussie, Lyn, is one smart cookie! She knows how bright it can get in the winter with all the snow and glare!! So…she had to add these beautiful Oliver Goldsmith Hex sunnies to her collection.
In addition to her sunnies, Lyn –after much debate about the color– also decided on these quirky and unique Theo “Coratina” frames. Keep it fabulous, Lyn! Cheers!
Want to get a closer look at Lyn’s new signature pieces? Here they are….

Angela! Oh Angela, how we love you…and your sister’s great taste in glasses!
Angela fell in love with these Theo Soixante-Deux frames….and had to have this beautiful tortoise and purple color, so we special ordered it for her:-) Theo frames are available in at least 8 different colors…and some frames are available in 20 different colors!! OMG.
Usually, we do not have all 8 colors in-store….
BUT, this Saturday the 16th, we are having a trunk show with every shape AND every color in the Theo collection!! Don’t faint…just come in and try-on everything!
Angela’s sister, Ann, was our customer of the week this summer in her Francis Klein frames:-)
AND Ann purchased these Anne et Valentin frames in 2009…
Thanks for coming to Eye Spy for more than 10 years and letting us fit your beautiful faces:-) xox.

All eyes should be on our new Customer of the Week: Lillian!
Lillian is a HUGE fan of our Theo frames, and she’s just added a new one to her collection. These fuschia and orange Theo Huitante+Quatre are sure to get anyone’s attention.
In fact, Lillian’s other Theo frames, from the Theo Eyewitness series, are what caught Adrienne’s eye on the set of “Divergent“, the YA book-turned-movie that just filmed here in Chicago. Our own Optical Chanteuse was cast in a featured role in the film and Lillian was part of the film’s makeup team! Adrienne noticed her frames on set and instantly knew she HAD to be an Eye Spy customer.
Congrats to Lillian for being our fabulous customer of the week! We LOVE your new frames:-)

Dr. Deana Labrosse and our Optical Chanteuse, Adrienne, have been DYING to show off their new frames. Adrienne has actually had her frames for a while now, but she’s been awfully hard to get a hold of 
So without further ado, Eye Spy presents:
Dr. Labrosse in Francis Klein “Birdy”
And Adrienne in Theo “Soixante+Six”
And they are both already dreaming about their next new pair…of course!
