Introducing our Customer(s) Of The Week: Lisa and Frank!!
Keeping with the multiple COTW theme for the month of May, we’ve chosen to feature this super awesome husband/wife duo. Frank is rockin’ his tortoise RetroSuperFuture shades, while Lisa is making a statement with these kick-ass baby blue, wooden February 31st aviators.
This power couple just so happens to run Smog Veil Records, an independent record label based right here in Chicago. Not only do they distribute the traditional cd/dvd/vinyl media forms, they also work the digital route through iTunes and Napster. In addition to that cool fact, the company also has a green initiative, and its headquarters are powered by wind and solar energy.
Environmentally conscious AND stylish? How much cooler can they get?!

Allow us to introduce Tracee, our beautiful customer of the week!
As a close friend of our Opticianista, Tracee has visited Eye Spy Optical many, many, many times….and every time she stops in to say hi, she tries on our simply spectacular specs. Of course. How can anyone resist? After almost going for a raspberry-colored pair of titanium Theos, Tracee changed course and went for these leopard-print Francis Klein Wing frames. She looks pretty darn sexy in these cat-eyes….but who wouldn’t?!
Tracee is quite the “jill of all trades” ranging from a killer hair dresser, makeup artist to a awesome painter. Are you curious what her work looks like? (Come on, you know you are.) Check it out here.

ROCKIN’ THE VISIONARY FRAME BY RVS
We asked Adrienne a few questions just so everyone could get to know her a little better before you let her pick out your new dreamy glasses.
What catches your wee eye at Eye Spy?
Um…. the rad ladies I now get to work with. Seriously.
What is your favorite thing in the entire world?
CHOCOLATE! It makes everything okay.

My Cat, Ophelia, my phone….and my Lucky brand boots.
What is your fave role you played? (Side Note: Adrienne is an actress, in case you didn’t catch that.)
Jenny Diver, from Three Penny Opera.
Why make the move to Chicago?

We are so pumped to welcome RVS by V into our little Eye Spy family of awesome eyewear. RVS is a line unlike any other, and the very first eyewear company to be based out of Istanbul, Turkey. The line started in 2006 and is going strong with a beautiful selection of matte colors. Each frame is hand made and fits right in to their vision for “quality eyewear built to last a lifetime.”
Vidal Erkohen, founder of RVS, started in eyewear by supplying eyewear boutiques, runway shows and some celebrities with vintage eyewear. Erkohen then founded RVS with the goal of bringing back the originality and quality of vintage eyewear.
We are over the moon with his collection and the wide range of matte colors the frames come in! Here is just a few samples of what our new line looks like.

Filed under: FASHION!, Francis Klein, Theo
It’s so much fun when our customers buy the same frames that we personally own! Barbara just picked up these
retro Theo frames in beautiful green texture which Serina currently has in luscious plum/periwinkle.
Susie and Alissa have been friends since they were in fourth grade and BFFs must have the same glasses! Since Francis Klein frames are customizable…they both picked out the same model with totally different colors/decorations. It matches each of their personalities perfectly!!!
Zenia is attracted to bold colors and is always willing to take risks. I got a pair of matte geranium red Theos only a couple of months ago…and I was so excited when Zenia decided on the same pair. It is surprising that two different people with polar opposite hair color can pull off the same glasses so well.

Our
Customer of the Week is
Lauren!!! Lauren is a singer/songwriter that visited us from sunny Los Angeles. You may have heard one of her songs off the
Pretty Woman soundtrack or during the
Just Shoot Me credits. She is one cool chick….
Lauren purchased this sparkling Francis Klein frame, Tatia, which is definitely fit for a rock star. Francis Klein is a small company out of France that hand-makes their frames and also decorates them by hand. This means that you can buy them as-is or have them custom-made.
Lauren chose to purchase a custom-made second frame – same model – in a leopard print. Ooh la la, we can’t wait to see them!!!
Congrats, Lauren, you are our Customer of the Week!
