The Uncommon Life

Uncommon Personalities: Meet Claire Wyebright Feuer

June 23, 2015

Claire Wyebright Feuer, Junior Assistant Buyer – Tabletop

My hometown…
Boerum Hill, Brooklyn.

I’m passionate about…
Spending time with family and friends and exercising.

A piece of music I love so much that I played it until I was sick of it …
Probably everything on my iPhone. One example would be Halo by Beyonce.

If I could throw the perfect party…
It would be an evening beach party in Bali with lanterns, amazing food, and free back massages.

The best luck I’ve had in my life so far was…
Discovering Dora (my dog) at the pound. She’s my life!

If I could meet anyone, living or not, I would choose…
Frida Kahlo – she was so talented, edgy, and all around awesome.

An uncommon fact about me…
I’m great at raising goldfish. My goldfish are now 9 years old! I’m also an avid journal-er and have written 30 so far. My goal is to reach 100 journals.

Would you rather… get a one-time free shopping spree at Tiffany, or be able to shop at any discount store free for the rest of your life?
I normally shop at discount stores anyway, so being able to shop at any discount store free for the rest of my life would be a dream.
