Spotlight On: Nasty Gal

Nasty Gal is an online clothing shop that has really experienced a huge surge in popularity in recent years and it’s become one of online shoppers’ favorite resources for clothes that are trendy, cutting edge and even a bit daring.

Here’s some background on Nasty Gal and its history:

Nasty Gal is a global online destination for fashion-forward, free-thinking girls. In 2006, founder Sophia Amoruso started an eBay store selling a highly curated selection of vintage pieces. In just five short years, the shop has grown to become an international style source offering both new and vintage clothing, shoes, and accessories. The name was inspired by the song and album “Nasty Gal.” Betty Davis, the patron saint of badass women, was known for her unapologetically sexy funk music which comprises our vision of femininity—complete with lamé platform thigh-high boots.

What you’re going to find on the Nasty Gal online store are loads of inventive, undiscovered and also well-known brands all gathered in one place. Some of these brands include Alice McCall, Cameo and For Love and Lemons. Another notable aspect of shopping Nasty Gal is the great combination of high and low fashions—you can find a mix of expensive items combined with really inexpensive pieces as well. There’s even a vintage area of the site for girls who love sourcing truly one-of-a-kind and hard-to-find pieces.

Here’s some new arrivals we have our eye on at Nasty Gal:

For Love and Lemons Luau Lace Mini Dress in Red: This dress is inspired by some of the looks we’ve seen being worn by A-listers on the red carpet recently, and it’s absolutely gorgeous. This dress features eye-catching red embroidery at the front and on the cuffs, and its set on a chic, nude mesh sweetheart dress with a raw-cut hem. It zips at the side and it’s both sexy and high-fashion at the same time.

One Up Satin Jumpsuit: This one-piece jumpsuit is chic with clean lines and it can be styled for the day or evening wear. It’s also a steal at $78. This jumpsuit has a classic high-neck, halter design with sexy strap detailing at the back. We love the blue satin and it would be great paired with a shoe in an eye-catching color.

Lee + Lani Praia Net Swimsuit: Somehow this suit manages to be a bit risqué while also being fun, quirky and whimsical. The suit features white mesh netting along with images of a cactus, cloud and sun in applique form. The back is open although it is a one-piece suit, and it has an adjustable tie halter around the neck.

Nasty Gal Corita Off-the-Shoulder Top: This top brings excitement to what’s otherwise a great basic piece to add to your spring or summer wardrobe. It features a white bandeau, off-the-shoulder sleeves and a loose, flowy fit that pairs perfectly with shorts or skinny jeans. It’s unlined so you can also wear it on top of your favorite bathing suit or bra top.
