About this listen
New York Times best seller
“We Wore What's Danielle Bernstein Is Giving Us the Modern-Day Sex and the City With New Memoir" (E!)
A revealing (in more ways than one) tell-all from Long Island girl-turned-international fashion influencer, designer, CEO, and tech entrepreneur Danielle Bernstein, the creative genius behind the hit style platform @WeWoreWhat.
Danielle Bernstein spent her youth shopping at discount department stores, getting boozy in suburban backyards, and proposing marriage to every boy she dated. By age 19, she was a college dropout living in a West Village shoebox with three roommates and only six months to prove that her blog, @WeWoreWhat, could become a full blown career...or else board the train back to her mom's house.
Flash forward 10 years. Danielle is more than a famed influencer with over two million followers. She's also a bonafide business woman - a CEO, tech founder, and fashion designer whose living a dream lifestyle that includes all-expense-paid luxury travel to Paris and Positano, skipping the velvet rope, and controlling her own destiny.
Despite these successes, Danielle has never been your typical play-by-the-rules fashionista. She disrupted the fashion industry using her own playbook - one that she's finally ready to share with you, her listeners.
This Is Not a Fashion Story is the down and dirty tale of how a Long Island-born teenager became one of the most recognizable names in fashion. It's a story that proves success isn't about a college degree or how rich your parents are. It's about trusting your gut, knowing when to take risks, and fighting to get what you want in life, love, and business. But above all, it's the story of how a young girl made in the concrete jungle that is New York City - and how you can too.

Ever since she was a child, every aspect of Julia Haart’s life—what she wore, what she ate, what she thought—was controlled by the dictates of ultra-Orthodox Judaism. At 19, after a lifetime spent caring for her seven younger siblings, she was married off to a man she barely knew. For the next 23 years, her marriage would rule her life. Eventually, when Haart’s younger daughter, Miriam, started to innocently question why she wasn’t allowed to sing in public, run in shorts, or ride a bike without being covered from neck to knee, Haart reached a breaking point.

The first thing Sophia Amoruso sold online wasn’t fashion - it was a stolen book. She spent her teens hitchhiking, committing petty theft, and dumpster diving. By twenty-two, she had resigned herself to employment, but was still broke, directionless, and working a mediocre day job she’d taken for the health insurance. It was there that Sophia decided to start selling vintage clothes on eBay. Eight years later, she is the founder, CEO, and creative director of Nasty Gal, a $100 million plus online fashion retailer with more than 350 employees.

Every Day I'm Hustling is a personal book with a message Fox passionately believes in: that you make your own luck, that you never ever wake up in the morning thinking somebody's going to call you and offer you that part or ask you out on that date that's going to change your life, that you have to wake up and put on your longest eyelashes and fiercest heels and go out and make your life happen yourself.

Women are notorious over-preparers and underestimators when it comes to their own readiness to try something new. But as Emma teaches, what most often holds us back are our own fears, excuses, and doubts. With her revolutionary manifesto, Winging It, Emma shares a rallying cry for all women to “do the things that scare you, build your wealth, make an impact, fail lots, and get up and try again”.

By the time she was in her late 20s, Tara Schuster was a rising TV executive who had worked for The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and helped launch Key & Peele to viral superstardom. By all appearances, she had mastered being a grown-up. But beneath that veneer of success, she was a chronically anxious, self-medicating mess. No one knew that her road to adulthood had been paved with depression, anxiety, and shame. Buy Yourself the F*cking Lilies is the story of Tara’s path to re-parenting herself and becoming a "ninja of self-love".

In the tradition of Cynthia Heimel and Chelsea Handler, and with the boisterous iconoclasm of Amy Sedaris, Julie Klausner's candid and funny debut I Don't Care about Your Band sheds light on the humiliations we endure to find love - and the lessons that can be culled from the wreckage. I Don't Care about Your Band posits that lately the worst guys to date are the ones who seem sensitive. It's the jerks in nice guy clothing, not the players in Ed Hardy, who break the hearts of modern girls.

Story
With Normal Gets You Nowhere, Kelly Cutrone invites us to get our freak on. History is full of successful, world-changing people who did not fit in. Think Nelson Mandela, Joan of Arc, Eleanor Roosevelt, Amelia Earhart, John Lennon, and Rosa Parks. Instead of changing themselves to accommodate the status quo or what others thought they should be, these people hung a light on their differences - and changed humanity in the process. “I know you don’t feel normal, so why are you trying to act it and prove to everyone you are?” Cutrone says.

The year 2020 was going to be the best year of Stassi’s life. Besides getting engaged and feeling like she was on top of the world career-wise, she bought her first house and was planning her dream Italian wedding. The future showed so much freaking promise—until it all went to hell. Stassi may not be perfect—she may have made some (major) mistakes—but she does feel like she has some insight (and plenty of hilarious tales) about getting knocked up, called out, and learning from what went wrong.

An inspiring story in the most amazing city on earth
Absolutely loved the book, especially because it was narrated by Danielle herself. I feel like I have a special connection with her because she’s probably the only influencer I follow, and I adore her honesty, work ethics and incredible big heart.
Even if you don’t follow Danielle, this book could be read by anyone and take away tips about being a woman entrepreneur in today’s world, a strong leader and someone who follows their passions. And of course, her story is based in New York and just because of this it’s worth reading the book. So inspiring!

Inspirational! Read my review.
I just finished your book and I’m so glad that I did! I miss your book! I wish there was more! There isn’t Sex & The City or The Devil Wears Prada or anything like it anymore! I felt as if I was watching your life unfold on a screen and I’m sure that will happen soon! Fashion, dating, NYC, being a business woman, finding yourself, and just being in charge of your own life and doing what you want!!! You’re fearless courageous, and inspirational! I love your attitude in life and your urge to teach yourself what you don’t know in business and to just make it happen! You take pride in your talent and creativity and don’t second guess your ability. You take chances, try new things, and put yourself out there front and center! You’re strategic and smart and thank you so much for sharing your life with us!!! Your book is inspiring.

Amazing
Such a good book. Read the whole thing in one day, kept me engaged and excited to hear how she got to where she is right now. Loved the personal details, allowing us 20 somethings to relate and feel normal in certain situations! But she wasn’t too in depth, just enough!

MUST LISTEN!
Such an easy book to read (listen to) because you get so lost in her ambition. My favorite things to learn about are how successful people “made it” and she is a great example of someone pushing the boundaries as an influencer and claiming herself to be so much more than that. Loved it so much.

This is Not a Fashion Story -
Loved getting an inside look on how Danielle has grown her brand over the years. She reveals how different partnerships came to fruition and doesn’t leave out the different obstacles she’s faced in building her brand along the way. Even if you’re not familiar with her brand, anyone who has an interest in entrepreneurship, influencers, etc. will find this book captivating.

I’ve never finished a book so fast
Danielle has amaaazing style. That’s no secret. But the style in which she shares in this book, her ~style~ to help others is something I think is equally as cool :)

A fashion influencer story
It could be an interesting book for those who follow @weworewhat and her founder Danielle - author of the book - on social medial or for people with blogger or influencer aspirations. I enjoyed most of it, specially the little part about the behind the scenes of marketing deals on IG and creation of product lines. Have to confess I had no idea who she was until I listened to this book that I chose just because of the tittle. I really admire her desire to achieve big goals and work hard for them. I now follow her company on IG ;)
