Evil Queen Inspiration: Sophia Amoruso is the Head Bitch In Charge

Words cannot express how obsessed I am with Sophia Amoruso.

Sophia is the founder and CEO of NastyGal.com, which has been named the Fastest Growing Retailer by INC Magazine (2012), and is basically one of those GET ON MY BODY e-commerce retailers. I've been a huge fan for years and am constantly thinking, I want to be a Nasty Gal. I want to dress like this 24/7. I want all of this shit, just take my damn money already. And Sophia is the brains of all of that, so basically, she owns my soul right now.

First off, dis bitch just turned 30, she never went to college, and she owns this hugely successful company - not to mention, she is now a New York Times Bestselling Author with her debut #GIRLBOSS book (yes, the hashtag is part of the title). #GIRLBOSS is half business bible and half autobiography, all about how Sophia beasted her way to the top of her game. She starts off by saying how the first thing she ever sold online was stolen - and goes on to explain how rummaging through dumpsters and second-hand stores became a hugely successful ebay store, and then eventually Nasty Gal as we know it. It's some pretty punk shit. She is the epitome of "Fuck The Man" - she did things her own way and still came out on top, despite everything being against her.

And to me, that is the ultimate definition of an Evil Queen - she took matters into her own hands, and did her own thing even though people told her no. She used natural creativity and instinct to guide her, and got what she wanted by taking life by the balls. If that aint some boss shit, I don't know what is.

Oh, and check out her closet on The Coveteur too. Bitch got swag, for real.

A #GIRLBOSS is in charge of her own life. She gets what she wants because she works for it.

And yeah, I'm totally in love with her. Like a crazy, follow her around like a lovesick puppydog kind of way. I want to be her and be with her. I want to follow her around and just like, carry her Starbucks or something. I'd give my left arm to work for her. I'd move to fucking Los Angeles to work for her. 

But I guess for now I'll just have to give her all my money. That's love, right?

Christmas Wishlist Part 1

The holiday season is quickly approaching and this year it is all about the Naked 3 Palette. I am a huge fan of Urban Decay but so far the Naked Palette's haven't impressed me - or rather, they're not colours I'd actually use. I'm not a brown kind of girl, and yes I get that the whole point of the Naked palettes is neutrals, but neutrals don't have to be brown. So, I fucking love this palette. It's pink and purpley instead of browny, which is 100% up my alley. I'm obsessed. I need it. I have to have it. It better be in my damn stocking come Christmastime.

Since I'm trying to change up my makeup routine a little (read: experiment with something other than what's come to be my signature MAC black liquidlast winged eyeliner), I think it's time for some COLOURED EYELINER INSTEAD (because the wings are mine forever), and I'm going with Stila this time:

What's appealing to me about the Stila High Shine Liquid Vinyl Eyeliner is the applicator tip. The MAC is definitely a brush, which makes it a little hard to apply and get even every time. I like that this applicator has more of a pointed tip, so if I wanted to, say, wear a line of purple above my black, I think it would be much easier to do with this.

I'm also going to ask for the TokyoMilk Dark Body Souffle in Destiny No. 79, which is the same as my rollerball perfume.  I'm really into this brand right now, not only because their packaging and marketing is totally on point, but also because the scents are just fucking badass. There is no other way to describe it. Destiny No. 79 musty, mysterious, sexy, and make you feel like the fucking Queen of the Wood Nymphs or something. It smells like a fairy tale, and not the Disney kind, the original Grimms Brothers kind where people get their limbs cut off and eyes pecked out by creepy birds. I love it. It's Evil Queen epitomized. I want to bathe in it (oh wait, there's a Shower Gel? Add that to the list too).

I want to start experimenting with Lush products so I'm going to go with their Dream Cream first, which I hope will be good for my extremely dry skin. I've heard a lot of great things (Mindy White of States is a fan and I fucking love her) about the brand and since I've got so many skin problems (dry patches, itchiness, etc) I'm hoping Lush will be good for me. It's so hard to find products that really work, so we'll give this a go and see how it works.

Also in desperate need of some new wardrobe additions, so I'm going with:

Faux Shearling Mix Biker jacket from Topshop

Luxury Rebel Aberdeen Lace Up Boot from Free People

Amulet Maxi Dress from Nasty Gal

Real Evil Queen Style.
