Our Valentine’s Day Crushes
Alright lovebirds, it’s the final countdown to Valentine’s Day and our staff is here to save you from last-minute panic with the perfect outfit ideas. So whether you’re having a fancy dinner or dancing the night away, here are our top picks to ensure your sweetheart only has eyes for you.
Cherysse, Jr. Buyer: “A couple of us girls are going to have an Anti-Valentine’s Party! We’re going to dress up, order some food and talk shit about boys while Heathers plays in the background. I think I’m going to throw on the white Peplum Skinny Pants with a bustier and red lipstick!”
Isabella, Social Media Associate: “I’m going to hit up some great Valentine’s Day parties in LA. Since I’ll be dancing the night away, I’ll need some platforms that can keep up!”
Jaclyn, Social Media Manager: “I’m going to an amazing pop-up dinner in my neighborhood with the boy, so I have my eye on the Minx Peplum Jumpsuit. It’s effortless, yet undeniably sexy.”
Alex, Production Coordinator: ”I’m really digging the In The Cut Dress – it’s super simple & sophisticated. My valentine this year is Dee, so I gotta be hot for our girls night out! Single Nasty Gals unite!”
Dee, Asst. Apparel Designer: “I’m thinking of getting white hot in the White Heat Leather Jacket and Peplum Skinny Pants for a night with Alex on the town!”
Simone, Jr. Copywriter: “I’m going to a group Valentines dinner, you know, to take the awkward edge off of a lame V-Day date. I’ll be thrilling the other dinner guests in the Thrill Of The Lace Top, Lou Lou Bustier, high waist black skinnies and the Fontaine Cutout Oxfords.”
Stacey, Stylist & Makeup Artist: “I’m going to wear a long black sheath and order in Thai food and a pizza.”

Ready For NYFW Staff Picks
Packing is hard enough without having to worry about a total change of climate, swarms of photographers and close proximity to the most fashionable people on earth. Then again, there’s nothing we love more than a challenge! Keeping in mind fashion, function and, most importantly, fun, here are the key pieces our staff considers utterly essential to a good time at NYFW!
Isabella, Social Media Associate:
“I would definitely grab this High Voltage Crop Top. It’s the perfect layering piece for high-waisted everything, though I’d probably stick out like a true California Girl and freeze my buns off!”
Cherysse, Jr. Buyer:
“The In Vogue Jumpsuit takes you from day to night, making it a staple for every trip and occasion. It’s totally the new party dress.”
Madison, Copywriter:
Rosa, Fashion Content Editor:
“I think one of the must-haves for fashion week is a pair of sunglasses, just like these Bright Future Shades. Nights are looooong and too much fun so you definitely need these in the mornings.”
Dee, Asst. Designer:
“The White Heat Leather Jacket is a NASTY GAL original, that takes the classic badass moto jacket shape, elevates it with the functional hem-to-hem zippers all over and makes it chic with the optic white leather. BAM.”
Kelly, Jr. Buyer:
Kaitlyn, Sr. PR Manager
Jacqueline, Jr. Buyer:
Tammy, Marketing Manager:
Liz, Sr. Copywriter:
“The Forget Paris Blouse is deceptively easy piece, this pretty little top can be tucked into high-waisted jeans and worn with an oversize tuxedo jacket. And it still looks cute when the jacket has to come off because it got waaaaay too hot packed in a small space, watching a show!”

We Left Our Hearts in San Francisco
Three of our very own (and a little dog named Dirt) headed north to get in touch with their freewheeling San Francisco roots, traipsing through the city they’ve all called home at different times in their lives. And just like a dream, as soon as they crossed over the Bay Bridge, it was as if they’d never left. The trio had just enough time to hit up some of their all-time favorite spots, stumbling upon some new ones along the way. Ready to go for a ride?
“As soon as we hit the road, we took a wrong turn (of course!) and ended up at the raddest farm just off the highway–complete with a little pony and the most insane treehouse!”
“When we got into the city, we had to indulge in an espresso and banana cream pie at the famous Tartine. Oh, how we’ve missed you!”
“Next, we darted off to visit some of our favorite vintage shops to dig for buried treasures.”
“Bar Crudo was the perfect place to unwind after a day of walking all around town – so glad we packed some comfortable heels!”
“Next stop? Drinks, naturally. We sipped on yummy rum concoctions at the wonderfully kitschy Smuggler’s Cove.”
“We had to hit up some of our favorite dance nights in the city, so we headed to The Stud for an amazing drag show (yes, those are pizza costumes) followed by the most fun dance party ever.”
“Before we knew it, it was time to head back to lovely La-La Land. And, of course, we totally took another wrong turn on the long (but beautiful) way back.”
“We left our hearts in San Francisco, so we’ll be back super soon to pick ‘em up!”
