Emily told Wembley Park's editorial team about her working day as a stylist and life with her French bulldog puppy, from early morning walks to the work-friendly spaces in her building. This interview was the first in the Day in the Life series in Wembley Park's Park Life magazine, so some of the details may have changed since.
What's your name, and what do you do?
My name is Emily and I'm a London-based fashion and celebrity stylist, and mentor.
How long have you been a Wembley Park resident?
I've lived in Wembley Park with Quintain Living since spring 2020. My apartment is in Canada Gardens, very close to the new Union Park.
Can you describe what your average working day looks like?
As a stylist, I need to get a lot done during the working day, so I wake up at 5am every morning and start my day by sending and answering emails. I like to walk my dog around Wembley Park as the sun rises, which helps energise me for the rest of the day. After grabbing a coffee from Out of Office Coffee, I make my way back to my apartment to prepare for my team of assistants to arrive. It's extremely helpful to have a versatile environment with work-friendly facilities like the study room, clubhouse and quiet roof terrace where I can work comfortably.
The Wembley Park neighbourhood is also very convenient for my lifestyle, as everything is close by. The London Designer Outlet is a short walk from my apartment for any last-minute fashion needs, and transport links are also excellent. I can be in central London in less than 12 minutes.
How would you sum up the vibe of Wembley Park?
Vibrant, welcoming and convenient. It's the best place I have ever lived; it feels like a home, like a family. There is pretty much everything I need within walking distance and there's always something interesting and fun going on.
The green spaces and new Union Park are a real bonus, especially for my French bulldog puppy, who enjoys the dog-friendly spaces on our morning walks.
