Nasty Galaxy by Sophia Amoruso

Nasty Galaxy

by Sophia Amoruso

From Sophia Amoruso, the New York Times–bestselling author of #GIRLBOSS, a lushly illustrated embodiment of the collective spirit of the Nasty Gal brand, Sophia’s own personal brand, and girlbosses everywhere, with a foreword by Courtney Love. Warning: this is not a style book. It’s not about how to mix prints—it’s about how to leave yours on everything you touch.
 
Highly graphic and visual, filled with illustrations, photos and short essays, Nasty Galaxy is part scrapbook, part inspo-journey, with moments of frivolity scattered throughout. Tactical and entertaining, envelope-pushing and conventional, surprising and refreshingly straightforward, Nasty Galaxy is a dive into Sophia’s philosophies on work, relationships, balance, friendships, and more. It is a celebration of her roots in vintage clothing, punk attitude, fringe characters, and don't-give-a-fuck thought leadership. 

Nasty Galaxy
 is Amoruso’s newest life bible, approaching style, music, philosophy, and advice in the same way #GIRLBOSS approached business—unconventionally. Oversized and in full color, this is the newest, coolest, must-have accessory.

I loved #Girlboss so when I heard Nasty Galaxy was coming out I requested it from the Library and got it first!! This is not a book like #girlboss but rather more of a coffee table book. It is damn beautiful also. I wanted to buy every single item in the book. Too bad I am too fat. Ah well..someday.

Anyway, I loved this book, and I am trying to think of a way to aptly describe this book. I mean “picture book” does not seem to do it justice.  It does have tips in line with the Nasty Gal brand. Ok think of what Nast Gal would look like as a lifestyle blog and that is this book.

The pictures are too DIE for. DO NOT READ THIS ON A KINDLE! This is a book best read looked at in its hardcopy version.

I have a confession. My creative well was running dry. I know you gotta always refill it and I was not doing that. I was all create create create until I was down to the scraps in my brain. Then I read this book and all of a sudden new ideas to implement in the new year for this blog came to me.  To me, it was that good. It simulated something in my brain, and a brand new version of the blog came to me. YAY, no more half ass reviews for you my loyal and faithful readers. Those that have stuck with me throughout my drought I heart you so much!

In this book, she talks about her favorite albums she gives a glance into her wedding and some interviews with other #girlbosses. I am not doing this justice, trust me. It sounds like a hodgepodge, but there is a method to the book. It is genius. You will just have to get your hands on a copy to see. Trust me this is one book you don’t want to miss.
