Written by on May 2nd 2013

We’re starting the month of May off with a triple threat Customer(s) Of The Week. Meet Catherine, Linda, and Joan!!! These three ladies are a blast…can you tell?! All three ladies stopped in right before their group trip to SPAIN! Donning these WILD Theo’s and a classy Francis Klein, they are definitely ready for some jetsetting.

I wonder how you say “simply spectacular specs” in Spanish. :-)

Here’s a closer look at their frames:

New Optician in the House!

Written by on February 7th 2013

We have a new lady in the house! Join us in welcoming Adrienne, our new Optical Chanteuse!! We are stoked to have another curly-haired gal join the team!

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.

If your house was on fire what would you save?
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?
Wanted to live in a big city that wasn’t too big. I wanted to be surrounded by arts and culture.

What do you do in your free time?
If I am not in a show…..usually trying to catch up on some quality Hulu time with my man.

 

Adrienne is currently obsessed with the Visionary frame by RVS. We can’t wait for everyone to meet our brand-spankin’ new optician. Come on in and let her sing you a song.

New Year. New Line. Welcome RVS by V.

Written by on January 15th 2013

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.

CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK!

Written by on January 8th 2013

Welcome to the first full week of 2013!  We are so excited to ring in the new year with our very first Customer of the Week…Jessi! Jessi is jumping for joy in her new Anni Shades Glimpse frames! She looks awesome in the kelly green with the pop of yellow sandwiched in-between.

Jessi will be showing off her new frames at her new job as a Librarian! (It’s hard not to have the Music Man song go though your head.  Marian…..Madam Librarian“).  So, she’s a little excited!? New job, new city…. off to a good start Jessi!

Check out the Anni Shades Glimpse frame below. It’s the same shape as Jessi’s, but its natural cocobolo color is shining through with a red inlay peeking out to say hello. Or maybe you have been wondering how to combine your love of wooden frames with your favorite color: orange. Look no further…

Do you love these two pairs, but want to make your own color combo? The nice guys at Anni Shades will create a custom piece for you…right here in the Midwest.

Anywho…thanks for being our very first customer of the week for 2013, Jessi! You look great!

Note: The number 13 is our Queen of Specs’ lucky number, so this will *definitely* be Eye Spy’s lucky year!

CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK!

Written by on December 21st 2009

This week our Customer of the Week! is ANNIE!!!

Annie’s brother is a long-time customer of Eye Spy and he sent his sister to us for some brand new specs. Annie walked in the door and said “I want awesome new glasses.” She had us at “awesome.”

Immediately, we knew the perfect frame for her. After trying on a few super-fun frames, including a purple Anne et Valentin frame that came in a close second, Annie’s heart returned to these Claire Goldsmith frames–it was fate!

This is the first frame she tried on, and boy, does she look great! We’ve got to pat ourselves on the back for this one, sometimes a person walks in the store and we get all Matchmaker Matchmaker and we just know that one frame in the store that belongs with a particular person. It’s like Cupid’s arrows all over the place in here.

Love at first Sight!

We just love how these Claire Goldsmith frames are so big and fun, but the first thing you see in this photo are Annie’s bright blue eyes and welcome smile!

Congratulations, Annie! You’re our CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK!

Too many flex dollars, not enough time? At Eye Spy, we accept flex dollars and will make sure that you find quality handmade glasses as well as the best possible lenses for your prescription. Just ask and we’ll be happy to help you find an *awesome* new pair of specs!

Who’s the big winner? You are!!!

Written by on July 1st 2009

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!
