Who’s a Nasty Gal?

Who’s a Nasty Gal?

by Marlies Dekkers
What’s currently on my nightstand? This shouldn’t come as a surprise; it’s a nasty gal! The book #Girlboss is the latest achievement of power house Sophia Amoruso.

As the Founder and CEO of Nasty Gal, the fastest-growing online fashion website of the moment, Sophia writes about her invasion of the world of fashion and online retailing. More importantly, this unconventional business book is a convincing case for the modern day feminist.

By sharing her ups and downs on her way to over a hundred million dollars in revenue, Sophia aims to inspire ‘gals’ all over the world to rock their lives and pave their own ways to success. What a whirlwind! Selfmade, young and deliciously bossy. I’m definitely inspired.

To me this daring dame is the perfect example of the modern day feminist; a sassy and savvy young lady reaching for the stars while celebrating her femininity. Sophia is absolutely one of the frontrunners. Find out yourself. Hit the link below; read the article, get the book and get inspired by this cool girl’s approach to female success.
