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?!

No one loves lipstick quite like the Specs Wrangler, so we thought…why not pair some fabulous lipstick shades with some rockin’ sunglass shades?!
Purple is our favorite color at Eye Spy and we love NO. 15 by Makeup Forever. We had to pair this amazing shade with Francis Klein’s Flower shades. Yummy!
We adore these Theo Pine shades! With all the wonderful textures and hues…we decided to go subtle with Nars Turkish Delight lip gloss.
Lafont’s Hampton sunglasses are bright and cheery, perfect for a hot summer day. Why not pair them with MAC’s Good to Go for a perfect bold combo?

We couldn’t wait to
share our excitement for the Claire & Oliver Goldsmith trunk show we will be having in May!
In 1926, Philip Oliver Goldsmith revolutionized how sunglasses were being made. At a time when cumbersome frames were being made from expensive metals and tortoiseshell, he started fashioning frames from brightly coloured acetates. Sunglasses became not only a way to protect your eyes from the sun, but thanks to Goldsmith…they also became a fashion statement!
Icons such as Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly, and Michael Cain adored them and the name Goldsmith became synonymous with stars and style.
I’ll give you the lowdown on Claire Goldsmith next week, you can drool over these iconic photographs in the meantime, ha!

Our Customer of the Week is Pam!
Excitement is in the air in the windy city with the weather being unnaturally warm and sunny these past few weeks. Sunglasses are a perfect solution against harmful UV rays and discomfort from the blinding sunlight. Pam was excited to get her prescription in the brown and blue Anne et Valentin Solo frames. We recommended polarized lenses to give her crystal-clear vision and to eliminate glare. Pam looks glamorous in her new sunglasses and her peepers are protected!!!
Congrats, Pam, you look amazing…and you are our Customer of the Week!
