Who Is Chiara Ferragni & Why Is She So Damn Stylish?!
Who is Chiara Ferragni? If you don't know, you must have been hiding under a rock. Back in 2009, the Italian blogging extraordinaire launched TheBlondeSalad.com and, well, she hasn't looked back since. The 30-year-old isn't just a successful blogger, she is also the creative director of a successful clothing line, a magazine cover star, and she is flown all around the world to collaborate with major fashion houses.
Let's face it: With her model good looks and enviable wardrobe, she's a designer's dream.

The 30-year-old has landed at #1 on Forbes's Top Influencers list in the Fashion category - thanks to her blog, her Instagram, her clothing line, partnerships and lucrative sponsorships.
An avid Instagrammer, Chiara inherited a passion for photography from her mum and is now a daily source of style inspiration for millions of people. If you're a number cruncher, Chiara has over 10.3 million Insta-followers, over 2 million Facebook subscribers, she made Forbes' 30 Under 30 List, and reportedly made over $10 million last year. She was also named by r Business of Fashion as one of the most influential personalities of international fashion. Oh, we almost forgot to mention: She's a Law graduate too (seriously, just shoot us now...)
Chiara currently lives in Los Angeles after being welcomed in the US with a green card. (I've got to see inside her L.A. house it is amazing!). She is engaged to Italian singer songwriter Fedez. Her sister Valentina is also coming up the ranks, and Forbes say she is "grooming" her as "the next Milanese social media style star".
