Introducing our FABULOUS Customer of the Week: Ann!!

Ann has been a faithful Eye Spy-er for years. During her most recent visit, she brought her entourage and they came to a unanimous vote on these sass-tacular black Francis Klein “Help” frames with ruby-red stones. Ann purchased these beauties specifically to wear to a gala event, but we think she will be wearing them everyday:-)

Transported Back in Time with Claire & Oliver Goldsmith

Written by on April 28th 2012

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!
