Everyone is told to go to high school and get good grades and go to college and get good grades and then get a job and then get a better job. There's no one really telling a story about how they totally blew it, and they figured it out.
From Sophia Amoruso
I am still a lover of paper books. One of my first jobs was in a bookstore, and I still like to be able to write in a margin and feel the paper. Once inside of a digital device, I end up losing things.
I work in silence.
I wrote '#GIRLBOSS' while running a $100 million-plus revenue business.
I was terrified and confused every day of my life until I started Nasty Gal, and for a good while after as well.
You can work for other people and still be a #GIRLBOSS; it's more about a state of mind and knowing yourself well enough to know when you're making decisions for yourself or because the world expects them of you. And guess what? It's okay to do that sometimes, too.
Music is such a big part of my life.
My parents taught me the value of money and working hard. And I kind of got that in me intuitively.
Every other fashion brand out there - including those that I call 'competitors' - are run by mostly old white men, and the customer knows it.
Don't act like you've arrived when you're just receiving the invitation.
