CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK!!!

Written by on February 16th 2014

Three cheers for the new Customers of the Week: Siamak & Meret!!!

This cool couple walked outta here with some of the coolest specs around. Their journey began many many months ago when Siamak first found these Anne et Valentin “Electric” frame in white with red and blue trim last January! (That’s longer than most of my relationships. HEYOO!)

*ahem* Moving on… Meret found her Rapp “Rosalind” frame in this beautiful purple/brown gradient on the year anniversary that Siamak found his frames. AWWWW!!!

This couple definitely has the cutest Valentine’s Day-esque “frame love story” ever, so they definitely earned this Customer of the Week spot!

Claire Goldsmith Special Orders

Written by on April 23rd 2013

Attention all Claire Goldsmith fans!! We love Claire as much as all of you, so we’re sad to say we’ve sold the very last CG frame in the store. And since we’re always on the hunt for funky new frames, we’ve decided to say goodbye to one line and HELLO to a new one. We’ll be introducing a RES/REI, a totally awesome, sleek, new line from Italy within the next few days.

HOWEVER…

RES/REI

 

…Claire Goldsmith frames will still be available via special order. So if you just HAVE to own one of her gorgeous frames, and you just happen to stumble upon one that you love, we’re more than happy to place an order for you! In addition to that, our Oliver Goldsmith sunglass line (part of the CG line) is still available in store as well.

Also, Saturday, May 11th is our Oliver Goldsmith and Caroline Abram Trunk Show, so we’ll have plenty of new sunglasses and frames to check out!! See you soon!

March- Madness- Makeover Party!

Written by on February 22nd 2013

 

Man oh man, are we ever excited for our March event!  Let’s be real, we all could use a little pick me up in March.

On March 9th from 12-4pm, Eye Spy will be hosting our annual March Makeover Party. This year we decided to step up our game a little bit. Along with our usual lovely makeup artist Brenda, joining us this year will be Sky Cubacub, who specializes in a little more un-conventional makeup. She also is a master crafter of chainmaille jewelry. Who knew? Let me tell you, it is amazing! Sky will be modeling some of her pieces if you are interested.

 

We have also invited Hunter Gatherer Jewelry to join us! (She might let you sneak a peek at her new collection!) Hunter Gatherer Jewelry’s collection draws inspiration from the intangible experiences that add texture and meaning to our lives. We are head over heels for her work and know you will be too!

We will see you for some new makeup ideas, fresh new jewelry and snacks. Come on, you know you love some snacks….with some adult bevvies to wash them down;-)

Anne et Valentin Trunk Show this Saturday!!!

Written by on November 6th 2012

The Anne et Valentin trunk show is almost here! This Saturday, November 10th you will be able to view and try-on hundreds of Anne et Valentin frames from the new 2013 collection that will be here for one day only!

Anne et Valentin is known for their colorful and playful glasses.  Anne et Valentin uses vibrant colors in many flattering shapes.  They are for the person who enjoys wearing their glasses and wants a signature look.  The collection has a large variety of plastic and metal frames for men and women, so let us help you find the pair that best fits your personality.   Below is a sneak peek of some snazzy new shapes…

Trunk shows are NOT sales…they are exclusive events where the sales rep from each line brings his or her samples for all to try-on. Every sample that the rep has, will be in the store for the weekend only. The shows are open to the public on Saturdays from 11-5 PM...and BY APPOINTMENT only on Sundays from 12-3 PM. 

This is your one and only chance to see every color and every shape available in the current collections. We carry a majority of each collection, but we do not have room to stock the entire collection of each line. If you have been looking for the perfect pair or have something specific in mind, this is the time to come in to Eye Spy. You will be like a kid in a candy shop!!

Oh, and did we mention that these trunk shows will be showcasing the 2013 collections that are not in any stores yet? The only drawback is: you might have to wait a few weeks or a few months to receive your frames….but it will be worth it!! See you soon:-)

Mykita Trunk Show this Saturday!!!

Written by on October 30th 2012

The Mykita trunk show is finally here!  Saturday, November 3rd you will be able to view and try on hundreds of Mykita frames.

Mykita is a small company in the heart of Berlin that has been hand-making eye wear since 2003.  We love their unique patented screw-less hinge design.  Mykita frames are almost indestructible since they are cut out of a thin sheet of surgical stainless steel.   Their acetate (plastic) collection is just as durable with its innovative Metal Injection Molding process.

Trunk shows are NOT sales…they are exclusive events where the sales rep from each line brings his or her samples for all to try-on.
