Hello, hello! Today I’m so excited to introduce you to Life on Phillips Lane’s 2021 Summer Intern, Emma! Trust me, you’re going to LOVE Emma! She’s so sweet and kind and funny, which is why without further ado, I’m going to hand the mic over to her!

Thank you to Ellsworth & Ivey for sending us these matching USA sweaters! They’re so soft & comfy. Emma and I are both wearing the size XS. Runs TTS.

Hello, friends of Helen! I’m Emma Nunn, Helen’s summer intern. I am South Carolina born and raised, and now I am a junior at Samford University studying Communication and Media… and Studio Art and Spanish. I have many interests! 
I decided to venture up north this summer to be acquainted with a new culture and travel to some exciting places! I have loved the water, food, shopping, and cooler weather so far. I’m quickly realizing there’s plenty of fun to keep me busy here! 
Below you’ll get an insight into who I am, things I love and a few recommendations of mine. At my core, I am just someone who wants to live the life I was created to live by serving others and hearing their stories, sharing my story, working diligently with what I am passionate about, and doing it all with a little bit of fun and style added 🙂 
I’m so looking forward to working with my new friend Helen and learning and growing with her this summer! I get to learn the ends and outs of what she does, and hopefully help all of her visions come to life! 
It’s nice to meet “y’all” already, and talk to you soon!
