Would You Buy Clothes From A Store Called Nasty Gal?

Should a grown woman be buying clothes from a site called Nasty Gal? When the fashion editor of a major magazine admitted to me that it is her favorite shopping destination, I knew it was time to pay attention.

In 2012, everyone was talking about the sexy fashion website, Nasty Gal. It's no wonder. The site was named the #1 fastest growing retail company on the 2012 Inc. 5000 list, with over $100 million in yearly sales after just six years in business!

So what is the appeal of the Nasty Gal site for grown women? This online retailer features clothes, shoes, and accessories from affordable brands as well as daring designers such as Jeffrey Campbell, not to mention lust-worthy vintage finds. While it is quite easy to find a fresh, spring dress, a pair of high heels, or a motorcycle jacket to fall in love with, beware of clothing with provocative cut-outs and extremely short lengths. The clothes also come in very small sizes for smaller girls and most of the merchandise is under $150. Last year they released their own clothing line produced locally in Los Angeles. And in case you were wondering, the name was inspired by the song "Nasty Gal" by Betty Davis.


Let the fashion show begin!



Nasty Gal is a great place to look for spring dresses of all styles and colors.






Pumps, booties, and platforms galore! Heels for every occasion can be found on the website.

Studded Platform Bootie, $78





Motorcycle jackets and trench coats are great for the transitioning weather. Pair with a flowy dress in bright colors for a perfect spring outfit!






While most of Nasty Gal consists of affordable, modern fashions, don't forget to check the vintage section for one-of-a-kind designer finds.




Looking for sparkle and sequins? This website has it all, including this mint green sweater with sequined elbow patches.

Color it Right: Lani's Guide To The Colored Jean Trend

The Colored Jean Trend: everything to gain and nothing to fear! Some trends seem too expensive for only one season's worth of wearing. This is not one of them. Not only do colored jeans come at totally affordable prices but they seem to be sticking around. Don't be intimidated! I'll show you some great ways to wear them and take away your FEAR OF THE TREND. By the end of this post, you'll be wondering which color to buy first!

Let's start with neutral colors. A pale jean is a great foundation for any outfit--you can dress it up or down, and add pops of color or pattern without looking too busy.



Doesn't this neutral, earthy color look like autumn? Pair these cords with booties and sit down to enjoy a pumpkin spice latte!



One jean that a lot of women fear is the "winter white." Be fearless! Try them with bold pumps for a sleek nighttime look.




Want to have more fun with the trend? This flared jean would look great with chunky pumps.




When you think "brights," you probably think of summer. This fall is all about bright jewel tones!



Do the colorblocking thing with a bright blue jean on bottom and a pale blouse on top.



Even bright orange is fall-appropriate... think pumpkin orange, not Halloween orange!


Colored jeans in a muted tone are great for daytime. This pair is casual with a nice zipper detail.  Add a chambray blouse and you have the perfect errand-running outfit.



Try the color of the season, Oxblood, on jeans. Throw on a leather jacket for a tough-but-lovely look.



Back to basics: show that colored denim is not just for jeans by 
pairing a basic black jean with a colored denim jacket.
