I’ve been a little quiet over the last couple of weeks, intentionally so.
Christmas & New Year felt like the right time to pause… reset… and reflect 😌
And wow — 2025.
What a year.
It started with a proper pinch-me moment, Loxley winning an award at the Eyecare Awards in Glasgow 🏆🌱
One of those moments where you stop, take a breath, and think… this really matters.
Then there was Paris ✨
Imogen and I travelled over and came back with two incredible independent eyewear brands, both exclusive to Nottingham, and one of them exclusive to us and the UK 👓
(I’ll share more on those very soon… 👀)
We also had two limited-edition microfibre cloth drops this year, one with the amazing street artist Kid30, a true Nottingham legend, and one with the super-talented local photographer Ian Cumberland.
Small collaborations, big heart, the kind I love most 💛
I welcomed a new face into the team too, Veronika, whose contribution has been huge.
Those of you who’ve met her will know she has a special way with metaphors… the kind that make you pause, question everything, and then suddenly things click in a calm, human way 💭✨
And Imogen… honestly.
An absolute star when it comes to styling, confidence-boosting, and helping people feel like themselves again 😌
A real warmth and light at Loxley.
But beyond the milestones… what really stayed with me was you.
The conversations.
The trust.
The people who’ve been on this journey since the very beginning, and those who found us somewhere along the way.
As I start looking ahead to 2026, something pretty special hit me…
Next year, we’ll be celebrating 10 years since I opened the practice 🎉
Ten years of community.
Ten years of choosing independent.
Ten years of doing things our way, together.
Some of you have been with us from day one, and I’ll never take that for granted.
Truly. Forever grateful 💛
So here’s to what’s next ✨
May your 2026 be filled with confidence, joy, laughter, and moments that feel like you.
Let’s make it the most fabulous year yet, together 🥂
Lots of love,
Indy 💛
P.S I’d genuinely like to hear from you, drop me DM or comment and tell me
✨How did your 2025 feel for you?
