Sensible

She enjoys a good Salade Niçoise, and twirling around the studio every so often while blasting disco (in a pair of pumps in timeless leopard and a sensible heel height)...

I'm off to a road trip with photographer Sara Essex Bradley to shoot for the decor book we are doing for Glitterati. Don't know if I can blog from the road, so sit tight and twirl.

In the meantime check out this shopping site Nasty Gal. Great collection of clothes and shoes (and a cute blog) for the Rock and Roll twirl girl inside of you.

Nasty Gal started as the eBay store Nasty Gal Vintage. Founder Sofia Amoruso has a  killer instinct and intense passion and along with a few hundred bucks, she set up Nasty Gal's headquarters in her apartment. She did everything herself: mined for gems at Goodwill, shot & styled each look, wrote product descriptions, and did her best to spread the word online. Each week, her stock would spark bidding wars among tastemakers. Soon she started asking friends for help. Eventually, those friends became employees. Nasty Gal moved into its own studio space and its own URL, leaving eBay in the dust to build what would become one of the most coveted online retail destinations.

Need it a little flatter?

Leopard platform boot with 3 inch heel - I am so getting these!

You have to admire a shopping sight that has so many leopard print shoes to choose from (and I didn't show them all to you!), and such a great point of view.

Flat and sassy

Founder of Nasty Gal Sofia Amoruso


Sofia says that the name of her company was inspired by the song and album “Nasty Gal” by Betty Davis, the patron saint of badass women, who was known for her unapologetic sexy funk music and uncompromising vision of femininity—complete with leopard stilettos.

  1. I could never buy anything called "Nasty Gal" but the leopard is cute. Saw the bit about you at Joni's post today, big props on that. Her column is so widely read you will have tons of visitors coming to see you from her place. Big hug....
