Customer of the Week!

Written by on November 9th 2010

This week our Customer of the Week is John!


John chose this amazing Theo frame just days after it arrived in the store–that’s what we call good timing!


This frame is part of the new Theo STHEREO series. The frames incorporate the symbols for Play, Fast Forward and Pause into the design. We love this new series and we especially love how John is rockin’ his new frame!

Congratulations, John, you’re our CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK!

Employee Picks: The Claire Goldsmith Irwin

Written by on November 7th 2010

This week, the Specs Therapist (Hey, that’s me!) chose the Claire Goldsmith Irwin as her pick of the week.


The Specs Therapist (Still me!) loves the dramatic shape of this otherwise subtle cat-eye. The rounded lens exaggerates the angles at the temples, which makes any lady wearing it look more vibrant and alert.

Also: totally digging the tortoise design, which gives the frame light and darkness and looks a little different from any angle.

Love this frame. Love that it’s sturdy and studious with a wink for the mischief makers among us.

Customer of the Week!

Written by on November 2nd 2010

Our Customer of the week this week is ABBY!

Abby came in to Eye Spy a while back and found a fantastic pair of Anne et Valentin frames in a lovely shade of purple that really set off her blue eyes!

But, alas, that frame was lost never to be found.

So, with the replacement frame, Abby decided to try something new.

Wow, Abby looks great in her new frame!

This is also an Anne et Valentin frame, but this is a titanium frame that has a black to blue gradient treatment that gives the frame an extra little “Hello!”

We love this frame on Abby, that’s why she is our Customer of the Week!

We are giddy with anticipation for our trunk shows every Saturday in November which will feature all of the new frames from our favorite lines! Hundreds of new frames, in every style and color imaginable…we’re getting dizzy just thinking about it!

Employee picks: The Francis Klein Edna

Written by on October 31st 2010

Hi Edna


We get calls from Francis Klein fans all over the US looking for this frame

This week, the Opticianista selected the Francis Klein Edna as her pick of the week.

The Opticianista loves that the Edna in black is bolder, while the tortoise version of the frame is more subtle, showing that Francis Klein frames can work on may different faces. This subtle cat-eye is very flattering and can be worn by women of any age.

She also likes all the intricate details and stone work that this frame has. In fact, she says it might be the most sparkly frame we have in the whole store!

Francis Klein frames are truly something special as these handmade frames can be worn as jewelry and add a little sparkle to any outfit.

Make your eyewear dreams come true!

Written by on October 29th 2010

Here at Eye Spy, we pride ourselves on carrying frames in the funkiest colors in town.

But, we also know that many of our customers are not quite ready for lime green frames.

So, we’d like to tell you about Special Orders.

The majority of our frames are available in six to twelve colors. We always have two or three of those colors in stock, but we have the availability of the entire repertoire of our designers at our fingertips and we are happy to order in any frame for our customers to see.

Take Anne et Valentin, for instance. This frame is gorgeous in green:

But what if you like the blue?

With a deposit of 50% of the cost of the Anne et Valentin frame, we can order your dream color so that you can try it on and make sure you like it in that particular hue. If you don’t like the frame, the deposit becomes a store credit that you can use toward another eyewear purchase.

What about Francis Klein?

Francis Klein is a small, family-owned company, like the majority of our lines. They make all of their fabulous frames with various options for decoration, including frames without any embellishment. They can also make any Francis Klein frame in *any* color from their current collection.

Yes. You can pick any Francis Klein color and they will make your favorite Francis Klein frame in your selected color. It takes 6-8 weeks (good things come to those who wait!), but at the end of that short little 2-month gestation, you will have a one-of-a-kind frame. Marvelous.

So if you like this frame:


But want it in red, like this frame:
No problem!

Each eyewear line has their own protocol regarding special orders. Here at Eye Spy, we know most every frame in stock, as well as the various color and design options for these frames, like the backs of our hands. In addition, most of our designers have online catalogs that we will gladly peruse with you in order to find that perfect marriage of style and color. We can’t wait to help you find or create your perfect pair of simply spectacular specs!!


We are giddy with anticipation for our trunk shows every Saturday in November which will feature all of the new frames from our favorite lines! Hundreds of new frames, in every style and color imaginable…we’re getting dizzy just thinking about it!

And if, during the month of November, you bring canned food for donation to Lakeview Pantry, we will take $25 off your complete Rx eyewear purchase.

Customer of the Week!

This week, our Customer of the Week is Patricia!

We love how this Anne et Valentin frame looks on Patricia! It makes her eyes so blue! And her hair so red! It’s wonderful that she can wear such a strong frame and it looks natural and modern.


Congratulations Patricia! Not only did you manage to find one of the newest Anne et Valentin designs to make your own, but you’re also our Customer of the Week!

Employee Picks: The Theo Stetson

Written by on October 24th 2010

We are starting a new feature here on la Blog de Eye Spy

Every week we’ll feature a frame from our stock that one of our employees just LOVES.

Theo Stetson, available in seven colors!

This week, the Optician Magician selected the THEO STETSON as her pick of the week.

The Optician Magician loves the way the “Hat Series” from Theo actually look like shields. If you look closely, you will see that the front of the frame is one continuous line with no breaks in the material.

She loves the simple, yet modern design of these frames which look different from far away than they do up close.

She also loves that the Theo Stetson has an unexpected twist in the angles and construction of the frame as well as in the small variations in the color and lens shape.

So there you have it, this week’s employee pick is the THEO STETSON.
