Happy morning

Five-minute hairstyle for busy mornings

"My name is Dylana (a.k.a. Nana or Dy) and I am a writer, stylist, and photography enthusiast from sunny Southern California who is now living in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I also have a blog. Fashion is what makes me wake up in the morning. Writing clears my head and mends my heart. Stories help me sleep at night. I see every single day as a chance to look and feel fabulous. I believe that we should always follow our dreams no matter what and that there is no such thing as reaching too far. This is my little online diary, and I hope you enjoy reading it and coming along for the ride."

I live in Australia's fashion capital, and my favourite thing is to be asked "Where did you get THAT?". I have a penchant for silly shoes, and beautiful bags. I spend vast quantities of time shopping for clothes, but when it's time to get dressed in the morning, I invariably have nothing to wear. I sell books, and think publishing is the best industry in the world to work in (because no-one makes any money in books, everyone who works with them is doing it out of love). I come from a large family, and though I live in a different city, I'm still comfortably entangled in my Mum's apron strings. I have an almost infallible sense of direction (inherited from my Dad, and what the family refers to as our "bump") and a completely fallible sense of balance. I prefer Operas that end in weddings, to those that end in funerals, and I have a secret stash of romance novels that I'm horribly embarassed about.

I'm Elyse, the 20-something lady behind the blog, residing in Sydney, Australia. I grew up on an organic vegetable farm in a small country town, but have since moved to the city. You can find me on a weekend morning at a long lazy brunch drinking too much coffee, reading, over-thinking life, and obsessively making to-do lists! I like big things like art exhibitions, sewing, vintage fashion, photography, documentaries and travel... but I also like little things like toasted blueberry bread, fresh flowers, notebooks and wine.

If wealth is lost nothing is lost but if health is lost them something is lost. This is one thought we have been taught since our school days. But it doesn't just remain as a thought but is true to the core too.

No sooner winter creeps in, there takes a unique drift in people's lifestyle. Isn't it amazing to see people change with the seasons! The mornings and evenings get colder and wetter.

Polo t shirts have been in fashion for a very long time and it is one of the few types of apparel that never lose its charm and never fail to woo people. Be it at work, for an early morning jogging session, hang-out with friends or a party, they never seem to go out of style.
