Quotes from Chiara Ferragni

Everybody would like to be on the cover of 'Vogue.'

I've always been into shoes and bags.

My secret has always been to be true to myself.

When it comes to anything you want to do in your life, you have to be passionate. Success may come, but in the end, the most important thing is that you are doing what you really want to do.

You can totally work with brands. People love seeing that, but you have to build stories. You have to build credibility, and those brands have to really be the perfect fit for yourself.

When I started my blog, I wanted it to be like my house - my own little place that anyone could come to.

It's bizarre to say all bloggers are sellouts.

Of course, you decide which story you want to tell. For me, it's been very authentic, so sometimes I'm super happy, and I post four pictures one after the other; sometimes I'm busy, and I don't. Sometimes I'm sad, and I post a sad picture.

I never liked the idea of taking a photo just for yourself - I think everything is better when shared.

I could have been like so many other bloggers or 'influencers' who just have their agent and are more like celebrities, but I've never wanted it to be only like that. Of course, I still want that part in my life, but I also wanted to create a brand.

I wear a Chanel backpack most of the time, and my Louis Vuitton Keepall duffel is my go-to carry-on.

I think London is one of the best cities to shop in.

Growing up, I always liked Catwoman and Superman; they inspired me.

At the beginning of my career, it was really difficult for my family to understand what I was working on, but they supported me anyway and gave me the best advice, which was to always be myself.

For me, being Italian, I love pizza. Particularly from Naples. I am obsessed.

I like to wear boots with skirts or mini-dresses, or jeans with sneakers and jumpers, leather jackets, or a rain coat.

If I want to shoot my daily look, I just put it on Instagram - not on the Web site.

When someone calls me a blogger, I think, 'That's one of the things I used to do.' I'm a creative director for my shoe brand; I'm the editor-in-chief of 'The Blonde Salad,' which is a website and not just a blog anymore.

Looking into the camera creates a special eye and soul contact.

I was at lunch with some friends one day, and we looked down at our table - blond pasta, blond pizza - and then someone joked, 'Blonde salad,' and it stuck.

When it comes to exercise, it's really hard for me to have a weekly routine because my schedule changes daily. But I try to go jogging as much as possible - when I'm in L.A., I do it every day.

For makeup, I prefer to keep it simple for the daytime.

I have five tattoos.

I was so proud of my team and myself for changing the rules of the fashion industry.
