Our Customer of the Week is John 
John is sooooo adorable in his new 2.5 Italee frames…he captured our hearts with his gentleman-like mannerisms and his shy smile. Italee frames are perfect for children because of their flexibility. The temples can be trimmed to the perfect adjustment and the ends are curved so they stay put!
2.5 frames are Swiss made and also come in adult sizes. 2.5 frames are made from a high performance, lightweight, and hypo-allergenic plastic while weighing only 2.5 grams! You can mix and match lens shapes and colors to make them your own.
Congrats, John, you are our Customer of the Week!

Let’s all jump for joy and congratulate DON, our Customer of the Week!!! Yaaaay!
Don came to our ic! berlin trunk show in November. After trying on some awesome frames, he decided to trust the professional opinion (and years of experience) of Serina and chose this Terrific ic! berlin frame… in BLUE!
ic! berlin, just started making frames in this color and Don was right there, ready to be one of the first to start wearing this incredible new color!
Way to go, Don! You’re our Customer of the Week!

Check out this cool article about Ralph Anderl, managing director of ic! berlin
Hey Ralph, what’s up?
It’s pretty nifty to read the story behind the company. Ralph is the guy to thank when you accidentally sit on, run over, step on, or sleep in your ic! berlins—and they don’t break!
Now I do, yes, thank you very much!

Congratulations to PAUL, our Customer of the Week!
Paul read about Eye Spy in the Chicago Reader, where we were named in the Best of Chicago 2009 issue! Let me tell you, it was a blast helping Paul choose some new frames. When he tried on these Theo frames, we all knew they were the ones!
It was love at first sight!
Way to go Paul, your new Theo frames look amazing and you’re our CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK!

WHOO! It’s that time again! What time? Time to crown a new CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK!
This week, we chose DAVID!
David already had two frames from Eye Spy when he stopped in to check out some new styles. Lucky for him we had a gaggle of Theo Frames in the store and couldn’t wait to see him in these *amazing* blue (and brown!) Theos!
Hey, waitaminute, where’s the brown? Well that’s the best part of this frame (okay, 2nd best, the best is how BLUE this Theo frame makes David’s eyes look!). The front of the frame is this lovely slate blue, but the top is chocolate brown!
It’s always nice to find frames with personality.David also chose to wear with the Hoya ID lens, which is a progressive lens that gives the wearer a wider field of vision. So walking up stairs won’t make him feel like he’s inside of some carnival trick house. Now, in his new Theo frames, he’ll have a smooth look, aesthetically and functionally.
Way to go David! You’re our CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK!

Check it out! We have a new CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK! This week, we chose ERIC because these chrome ic! berlin frames look so great on him!
Eric stopped in to the store a few times to make sure he chose the *perfect* frame. With some help from Mary R, he chose the Arnaud frame by ic! berlin. But Eric wasn’t the only one who became an Eye Spy customer, his wife and son both got new sunglasses!
There’s some truth to the saying “good things come to those who wait.”Congratulations, Eric, you’re our CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK!

This week it’s all in the family with our CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK, Lael ! In May, his wife, Eugenie, was named our Customer of the week for her amazing luck in finding a wonderful pair of Francis Klein sunglasses on the very day they arrived in the store.
Lael had similar luck a couple of years ago with a pair of IC Berlin glasses. The IC Berlin brand has been good to Lael and when he came in to the store for a new eye exam, he knew he wanted to stick with the durable and stylin’ IC Berlin frames!
Of course, being a man of impeccable taste (he is married to Eugenie after all) Lael chose one of the newest and, if I do say so myself, awesomest IC Berlin frames in the store.
Lucky guy.
Nice choice, Lael, and congratulations on being our CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK!

MOLLY T chose a gold IC Berlin! frame and wow oh wow does it accentuate her gorgeous blue eyes! The shape is funky enough to show off her great personality and subtle enough to let Molly wear her new specs anywhere anytime!
Way to go, Molly! Great choice!!!
