Phoebe wears Wallace Olive Spectacles - £135
Everywhere! Notting Hill and Soho - during the Summer months I am here, there, and everywhere due to all the fun events and pop-ups we are at.
The authenticity of the brand. It’s genuine, purposeful, and built on real values. Seeing the positive impact we make for our customers is incredibly fulfilling!
I love to switch it up all the time - at the moment, I am enjoying Wallace in Olive spectacles, but I think Tavistock Hibiscus is a fab frame. I adore the bright colour and its bold, unique style.
Fashion has always been a passion of mine, and I’ve always enjoyed being around people. At eighteen, I decided to dive straight into the fashion industry. I was lucky to begin my career in Personal Shopping at Selfridges, where I had the privilege of working with amazing clients. Later, I transitioned to a Luxury Resort Wear brand, where I focused on building their CRM and VIP relationships. It was during this time that I realized I wanted a role that merged brand communication with a personal, relationship-focused approach. That insight led me to the field I’m in today, and I truly love how it brings together the passions that have always driven me.
There have been many this year, but one I will never forget is FINLAY being one of only five English brands invited to 10 Downing Street. It was quite a surreal experience and made me really proud to be a part of such an amazing brand.
My Mum has always said: "Believe in yourself" - try to trust and enjoy the journey, even if it isn't the one you initially imagined. Stay open, be persistent, and confident, and you'll end up where you're meant to be.
Personally, I'm hoping to travel more and make more incredible memories with my loved ones. Work-wise, I can't say too much, but I am really excited for 2025 - we have lots in the pipeline in terms of events and collaborations... watch this space!
Phoebe wears Ledbury Black Sunglasses with Orange Lenses - £150
Christmas is always a bit of a whirlwind for me. I'm looking forward to quality time with family and friends and hoping to squeeze in some moments of rest amidst the festive chaos!
To be more present.
Has to be Ledbury! The Champagne Specs and the Black with Orange Lens Sunglasses are my favourite colour-ways. They are timeless and complement any outfit.
