36 Life Lessons We Learnt From #GIRLBOSS

If you’re a little behind the times, the lady behind NastyGal (otherwise known as Sophia Amoruso) is narcissistic enough to write a book about how to be a #GIRLBOSS and then produce her own TV show about it. But we don’t care because we just really want to be her (and not just because of her dreamy thick hair). Minus the homeless part of her life and the getting caught stealing part of her life, of course, because that’s all #GIRLBOSS pre eBay. From there, she was all about buying sparkly things from thrift shops, styling them up on a hot girl and selling it for 20 times the price. Easy right?

Oh yeah, we forgot to say she did the whole thing without a credit card from her apartment in San Francisco. Eight years later she is the CEO of a $100 million online fashion institution. Who'd have thunk it?!

Also, any TV show that emphasises the importance of The OC and re-enacts that scene where Marissa dies is the ultimate winner of Netflix.
