      Starred review from June 15, 2016

      Kerr and Power, cofounders of Clique Media, are responsible for the trendy and popular fashion, beauty, and lifestyle websites WhoWhatWear.com, Byrdie.com, and MyDomaine.com. They have also coauthored Who What Wear: Celebrity and Runway Style for Real Life and What To Wear, Where: The How-to Handbook for Any Style Situation. In their third book, they outline the codes necessary to navigate the new world of entrepreneurial work, in which skill sets and personal brand are key. Each chapter highlights a code (e.g., "Social Media Should Help You, Not Hurt You," "Manage Your Stress Like It's Your Job," "Never Present a Problem Without a Solution," and "Quantify Your Worth") with practical, real-life examples of the action's importance and application, gleaned from the authors' experiences in building their business and careers within the fashion industry. In addition, the authors include their 27 favorite life hacks for increased personal efficiency. The book's structure, formatting, and use of color showcase best practices essential to a successful career. VERDICT This savvy, smart guide will benefit professionals at all career stages.--Jane Scott, Clark Lib., Univ. of Portland, OR
