Welcome to A Little Wyld

“Little delights for life’s big moments.” 

 

Welcome, Wyld One! We’re so glad you’re here!

A Little Wyld is the loving-curated boutique that provides little people, stylish women, home decorators, and thoughtful gift-givers with whimsical, high-quality, and memorable products that celebrate your unique style and spark your Wyld side! 

Our dream is simple: to infuse the bliss of childhood into every product and shopping experience. 

And the best part is our products are sourced from fellow small business owners and a portion of our sales are given back to local communities and organizations; so you can shop, serve, and give back all in one pretty place! (!!! We know, we’re happy dancin’ too!)

 

A Little Wyld was born out of a shared dream and that hard-to-articulate magic feeling that clicks when two kindred-spirit, creatives collaborate... Enter the CEOs, Co-Founders, Co-Creative Directors, and Mama Bears of A Little Wyld, Amanda Perna and Skye Dyer. 

After being introduced by a mutual friend (we’re eternally grateful for you, Renee) and feeling like we’d known each other for a lifetime, we realized that together we had the opportunity to use our shared passion for family, fashion, and fun to make a positive impact in our local community.

As moms to young kids, professional artists, and active members in Delray Beach, Florida, we agreed that even though we adore our community, it was missing something that parents to young children were craving – a place to come play, explore, shop, and create lasting memories.

That’s where A Little Wyld comes in!

If you’re like us, you’re obsessed with all things color, one-one-kind, high-quality, ethical, sustainable, and just a little bit unexpected. That’s why we avoid predictable, big-box products and instead provide a unique and curated collection of our favorite things, as well as truly one-of-kind customized pieces. 

We hope you’ll join us in our mission to help families and their little ones bring quality, joy, color, philanthropy, and FUN into their lives! 

We can’t wait to meet you inside our little happy place. Come on in and get Wyld with us!

Meet Amanda

Hi friend, I'm Amanda Perna!

As a woman you wear many hats, I adore what I do but I have found nothing inspires me more than loving on, celebrating, and serving the people behind the business. For me, true joy is found while getting to know the women, kiddos and local community members that make the work so much more than a job. Doing it alongside the love of my life and best friend, my 5-year-old daughter, Stella, is simply the scrumptious cherry-on-top.

She’s the reason I’ve dedicated the last 13+ years of my career to designing for, inspiring, giving back to, and empowering bold women to infuse style, joy, and tenacity into their wardrobes (and life) so they can step out with confidence and shine brightly.

Today, I am the CEO, Founder, and Creative Director of The House of Perna and Neon Bohemians, a two-time Project Runway designer, globally recognized Speaker and TV Personality, double best-selling Author, Illustrator, passionate Momma and wife, and multi-dimensional, multi-media creator who is equal parts artist, entrepreneur, and empath.

To break it down, I get FIRED UP sharing joy, inspiring creativity, and spreading sunshine wherever I go. Which is why I couldn’t be more thrilled to welcome you to the Wyld side!

 

I first fell in love with fashion during design school at the University of Alabama (and later at Fashion Institute of Technology) but honed my craft while designing for major fashion brands including Oscar de la Renta and Calvin Klein in New York City. Though I loved learning under the expertise of renowned designers, my entrepreneurial spirit and community-centered mindset always called me to begin my own fashion brands - on my own terms.

Now, I’m the owner, lead designer, and creative director of my two signature brands The House of Perna and Neon Bohemians which specialize in creating ethically made products and designs with an eye focused on maximalist style with minimalist waste always featuring bright colors and bold prints.

When I’m not designing, you can find pursuing my other passions for connecting with people through speaking, hosting, and writing. I’m blessed to have been a two-time Project Runway contestant, host to a local morning news show, Delray Morning Live, and two-time best-selling author for my children’s book, “F is for Fashion” and collaborative book of essays, “Pivot with Purpose”.

But even after working in major cities across the globe, I still feel most myself being incredibly involved in my local community, which is why A Little Wyld is a true dream 20+ years in the making. 

It is my honor to work together to create art that brightens your home, closet, life and helps you create a positive impact on the world.

Looking forward to meeting you in person and getting Wyld!!

Meet Skye

Hi lovely! I'm Skye Dyer! 

I’m a singer-songwriter, contributing published blogger, taste-maker, personal development enthusiast, wifey, mama of two littles, and CEO and Co-Creator of my third baby (and life-long dream), ‘A Little Wyld.’ 

Over the last 20 years, I’ve devoted my life to using my voice to share encouragement, music, hope, and inspiration with people around the world. In this new chapter, I’m using my voice to serve the families, women, and kids, and organizations in our local Delray community, and I’m loving every minute of it! 

My friend, I’m beyond thrilled to share my lifetime passion for family, fashion, and feeling with you all! Come stay awhile, with us at A Little Wyld!

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been a born-to-be artist with a seriously creative spirit.

My first love was singing. I had my first singing lesson at age 2, and took the stage shortly after when I was only 3-years-old. I was hooked and my life became completely absorbed with music. As I traveled the world with my dad, Dr. Wayne Dyer, a personal development author, I had the opportunity to write original songs, perform in front of thousands of international audiences, and for the first time, tap into the true potential of my creative ability. I went on to study vocal jazz, write with more intention, and established a forever love affair with music.

But as I grew up, I became aware of an even stronger passion to become a mother. So I dove headfirst into motherhood and have loved every moment. For me, there is nothing richer than being present and hands-on for my 4-year-old son and 1-year-old daughter.

Even still, while being a full-time mom took up the majority of my time, it became clear that my artistic perspective actually reached beyond the corners of my singing career when I was offered the opportunity to be featured as a contributing author in an emerging website.

Whether in singing, writing, public speaking, and now boutique ownership, I’ve found one undeniable truth proven again and again: your unique voice matters. 

That’s the core foundation of A Little Wyld. Your voice is special. Your voice matters. And we can’t wait to help you find the perfect piece to compliment your voice!
