5 Stars for aesthetic, 3.5 stars for content, 2 stars for the sometimes cringe-worthy pretentiousness / obliviousness regarding privilege

This book was okay. Not sure what I really got from it. I guess it was pretty and had some cool women in it.

The first time I read this book was during my last year of high school, now my second time reading it I'm fresh out of university.

I admire Sophia's ambition and hard work, something that (very sadly) I lack of. I think my problem is that I love so many things, but I don't love anything enough? If that makes any sense.

Also how crazy to think how much her life has changed. She is divorced now, and she doesn't own Nasty Gal anymore.

I am not sure what I expected from this book. I just loved Girlboss, love the podcast and got so excited discovering there is another book by Sophia. This one is confusing. It does have inspiring quotes and inspiring women inside. Maybe not enough? There is too much unnecessary stuff - astrology, Sophia’s favourite music, weird „how-to“s. And not enough style inspiration. That’s it. That’s what I thought the book would be - style inspiration encyclopedia.

This book as an object is cool though. It has a gorgeous cover, textile clad books are always my favourite. The typography is beautiful, the design of the pages is crisp. I guess I just expected more from the content itself.

Pretty, but no substance.

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.

Nasty Galaxy offers a vision of Nasty Gal & #GIRLBOSS philosophy. It is a visual summary of everything that Nasty Gal represents and Sophia's identity.
