Kelly Cutrone with Meredith Bryan

and other things your mother never told you

"Kelly writes in her trademark, no bullshit style, combining personal and professional stories to share her secrets for success without selling out. Let's face it: this is a different world than the one in which our mothers grew up, and Kelly has created a real girl's guide to making it in the real world. Offering a wake-up call to women everywhere, she challenges us to stop the dogged pursuit of the "perfect life" and really discover who we are and what we want. Then she shows us how to go out there and get it. From her own experience, she knows that only by staying true to yourself will you achieve your goals. Much of our culture teaches us to muzzle our inner voice and follow the crowd; Kelly allows us to stop pretending and start truly living. With chapters on how to find your tribe (those like-minded souls who make your heart sing), how sometimes a breakdown is really a breakthrough, and how there is no such thing as perfection, Kelly also share practical advice such as how to create a personal brand, how not to destroy your reputation at work (like blogging about your boss), and how sometimes, you have to fake it to make it"--, Provided by publisher
