“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.

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!

Loved it! So much more than expected

Good job to the team behind this empire and to D herself! She’s truly inspiring! Thank you for the audio version ♥️

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 ;)

LOVED!

This was very entertaining while also insightful perspective of Danielle Bernstein. Gained a lot of respect and appreciation for her hustle and willingness to be open . Highly recommend!

Inspiring overall

I love it! Finished the book over the weekend 💕 honestly taught me about not being afraid of chasing my dreams and gives me hope that the hard work will eventually paid off. Thanks for your sharing and vulnerability, Danielle xo
