my style icon today

It is 5:25 am and I am accidently up for the day – I guess as we get older the less sleep we require. Lately, I find myself springing awake before the sun rises and wishing I could fall back into a dreamy sleep. BOO! I guess for your benefit it means I get to post about some style treasures. Speaking of which…

Nana in Wonderland – Dylana’s (WHAT A BADASS NAME!) style is the perfect example of international street style (that I described in my recent vintage post) at its finest… This west coaster (LA to be specific) blogs about her daily outfit choices :) She has excellent taste and she goes into depth as to why she picked each piece, where it is from, etc . She has some vintage finds to die for.

Her look is interesting and understated… she loves leopard too and she rocks the military & school girl relaxed blazers on the regular. Also! I am into her black lace up boots… MUST HAVE! I also like how she has signature pieces that keep reapearing in various posts. She has a gift at reinventing her clothing everyday to make it look new and refreshing.

Anyways, Nana is truly beautiful! I am not the only one to think so – her blog has been recognized by style websites across the www and I am certain her following will only continue to grow as she gets more discovered.

Here is a taste of her blog. However, I strongly recommend checking it out further for wardrobe and personal styling ideas!

I am interested in incorporating more daily photos like this onto my blog… Hopefully incorporating pieces I have designed with special vintage pieces and ideas from my favorite runway looks of the season.

^Pretty!

^ so much to like about this – her harem pants, the scarf that ads the perfect splash of color & softness to the outfit, the awesome studded gladiators, the vintage purse, the besos rojo! ahhh

^ this color scheme is my go to – leopard print ties this all together… and those boots…

^This sweater reminds me of Missoni fall 2009

^ the jean shorts over tights looks so cool – her blazer is a relaxed take on the Balmain F 2009 military jackets

^ PERFECT example of floral print meets vintage leather !!!

^ simple and eye catching – nothing beats a clean crisp white button up… also love her rolled oversized sleeves

^ the relaxed blazer with torn up jorts = international effortless style

^ I have been mixing up my belt placement a lot sense I saw Hermes mix it up two seasons ago … I like her belt over the oxford… I also love putting a belt on the outside of a jacket or cardigan (try it!) it changes up any outfit

^ I literally sent this picture to my mom for x-mas gift inspirations.

^school girl prep inspiration!

Here is a taste of Dylana’s writing – sourced from her post on fashion socialite Atlanta de Cadenet (who also has noteworthy style) also love her hair – like a more funky rachel bilson! yesss
