style files with emily june: june
As part of the June Journal rollout, we’re so excited to bring you Emily June’s Style Files – a new series where Emily shares what’s on her radar, from design trends to fashion and pretty things!
When you choose an interior design firm, you’re choosing more than just industry knowledge and expertise! To borrow a phrase from our French friends, there’s a certain je ne sais quoi that Emily brings to each project, a culmination of her own wonderfully whimsical interests and sophisticated style! As the witty Iris Apfel, interior designer and fashion icon, quipped: “You can’t learn style. Style, I think, is in your DNA…you have to know who you are first and then proceed from there!” Keep reading to learn more about just who Emily is and what’s inspiring her this summer!
