Happy Sunday everyone!! Meet our newest Customer of the Week: Stacie!!
We couldn’t have picked a better customer/frame match here, folks. Caroline Abram makes some pretty sweet cat eyes, but it takes a special person to rock them with finesse and class. Whelp, Stacie does that and more with this Caroline Abram “Ines” frame in red and cherry. Stacie looks like she came camera-ready for this photo shoot, but that’s just her natural beauty accentuated by those stunning specs!

Hey all you optical enthusiasts! It’s that time again. We must pay homage to our new Customer of the Week: Alison!!
Alison came in thinking she wanted the exact same style frame she already had ; a tortoise/green round plastic frame that bordered on the conservative side; a reliable companion since she had long since left beind hard contacts. But with the finesse and guidance of our new optician, Siobhan, Allison was able to expand her mind.
Suddenly, her eyes fell upon these turquoise Theo “James” frames. She jokingly tried them on thinking: “Oh these will look absolutely ridicuously on me” …but was immediatly posessed by the magic of these beatiful specs. Obviously this was a match made in heaven! We’re SO glad that Alison AND her husband love these frames as much as we do!

Greetings Eye Spyers!!
We have a new Customer of the Week to introduce!
She goes by the name of SHEILA!!
Sheila first chose these beautiful turquoise and red Francis Klein “Risk” frames with red and silver stones and decor. We LOVE what that beautiful blue frame front does for those pretty peepers!! And we had this color combo made just for us…so Sheila is the only lady in world with this frame:-) How cool.
Sheila also couldn’t walk away from these pink and gray gradiant Rapp “Jane” frames, so she got both! We couldn’t be happier that these unique frames found a perfect home, and that Sheila followed out favorite motto: “If you can’t pick one…pick both!”

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!

Filed under: Anne et Valentin, CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK!, Unique Frame Lines
Our customer of the week this week is Rachel! Rachel and Rob sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G. First comes love, then comes marriage…
Finding the perfect pair of glasses can be a challenge. We *all* know this. Finding the pair you love AND will wear on your wedding day can be an added challenge.
When Rachel came through the door that’s exactly the challenge she presented to us: a dazzling pair of purple glasses that she would wear to her wedding…and continue to wear afterwards. ( Just a little pressure, it’s no big deal…) After trying on a few frames we found it, her dream frame. This beautiful, two-toned purple Anne et Valentin Dubai frame.
Rachel and her betrothed were married on October 12th at Bryn Mawr Country Club, and she was glowing!
Thanks for the beautiful photos, Rachel, and for letting us help you choose your frame for your day!

Hey Everyone!!
This Customer of the Week is a Two-fer!! Meet: Cathy!!
Caroline Abram “Gaby”
Anne et Valentin “Fanzine”
Cathy just couldn’t decide between the Caroline Abram “Gaby” cat-eyes, and the Anne et Valentin “Fanzine”…so she made the bold (and correct) decision to throw caution to the wind and get’em both! I mean…wouldn’t you?! And she is ROCKING both of these bold styles.
Thanks to Cathy for being our Customer of the Week AND for introducing our Specs Wrangler to Absolutely Fabulous, from the BBC! Patsy had never seen the show….but as soon as Cathy turned Patsy on to AbFab, it was true love!
In case you don’t know about Absolutely Fabulous….or even if you are in the know, check out this fabulous montage…and don’t laugh too hard;-)

Filed under: CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK!, Francis Klein, Lafont
It’s Sunday Funday, folks! Which means we’ve got a new Customer of the Week! And that customer happens to be Gretchen!
We’ve been a little biased towards sunglasses these last few weeks. But come on….these are too good not to report.
Gretchen hopped on the express train to Shadyville and pulled out all the stops on not one, but TWO pairs of tricked out shades. The first ones are the purple and turquoise lace Lafont “Luxours”. You can’t really get more flashy than these.
Lafont “Luxour”
HOWEVER, in addition to what I like to refer to as the “Elton John inspired” Lafonts, Gretchen also made another bold choice in choosing these Francis Klein “Pinup” shades, adorned with guilded bumble bees! Yea that’s right….BEES! Needless to say, wherever she goes, she is going to get noticed with these spectacular works of ocular art!

MAKE WAY FOR THE NEW CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK: Nadine!!
Nadine took advantage of our sunglass extravaganza and copped a pair the these old-school-meets-new-school RetroSuperFuture “Jaguar Tapestry” shades with polarized lenses. There was no debate about these bad boys. Nadine popped these on and suddenly all was right in the world.
Whether she’s on vacation in the islands, on the golf course, or shielding her eyes from a Miley Cyrus twerk show, she’s ready to go in these sooped-up classics.
Not to compete with Nadine, but we also saw these sunnies look fabulous on a young gentleman at one of our pop-ups this summer…..
Who’s your fav??

Hey Everyone!!
We’re introducing a new line to the Eye Spy sales floor! Gentle Monster, a line hand-crafted in S. Korea, takes on modern edges with sleek angles. Their business model is built around the motto of “INNOVATIVE EXPERIMENT.” These frames take on attributes of the classics, but with an update. They incorporate interchangeable face-plates and clip-on sunglasses, which make them some of the most diverse frames out there. OH…and we are the only store the United States with this fabulous line!!
These frames break the mold…literally. Instead of using the traditional injection molding, these pieces of art are actually carved out a sheet of acetate and molded by hand.
So if you’re looking for the classic look with an edgy updated persona…these little monsters are definitely for you!
