Blogger Chloe Ting Dishes On Her Covetable Personal Style
Finance girl by day, personal style blogger by night? Chloe Ting of Chloe's Addiction is something like that. The Australian clotheshorse has been blogging for a year and a half now, after amassing a following on online fashion communities like Lookbook.
It's no surprise that fans urged Chloe to start her own site. Her rocker-inspired look involves studs, spikes, and skulls, and her Lita-littered shoe collection is the stuff of Tumblr dreams. She has also mastered the art of headwear, managing to look totally natural in wide brims and turbans alike. Read on to get acquainted with the fashionista from Down Under and find out what it takes to get noticed in the blogosphere.

3/8Why did you decide to start a personal style blog?
I started photo blogging on Chictopia and Lookbook and some readers then suggested that I start a blog. I finally decided to start one when I reached "style icon" status on Chictopia. It just seemed like the right thing to do at that time to better communicate with my readers.
What’s the story behind the name?
My blog’s called Chloe Addiction, which is pretty self explanatory given my addiction to shoes and clothes!
Chloe wears a Sportsgirl lace dress, Fascue floral blazer, Zara heels, Romwe necklace and bag, and Ziba Collection bracelet.
4/8How would you describe your personal style?
It’s hard to say because I think my style evolves a lot over time, and I can see that by browsing through my blog over the year. I do love the feminine side and grungy side of my style at the moment. I just love mixing things up!
What or who inspires your wardrobe?
I definitely get inspiration from other bloggers that I follow, and my passion to be bold and try different styles every once in awhile!
Who are your favorite fashion bloggers?
My current favorite is Olivia Lopez from Lust for Life, Kristina Bazan from Kayture, and Aimee Song from Song of Style.
Chloe wears a We Are Hairy People denim jacket, Sheinside velvet skirt and spike bracelet, Choies print tank and studded bag, and Romwe tattoo leggings.
5/8What's the best part of being a blogger?
The best part is definitely being able to inspire other people as well as being inspired myself, and an equal perk is the awesome people that I've gotten the chance to meet online and in person!
What's the hardest part?
The hardest part is definitely managing my time for my blog and taking photos. The weather here is mostly very windy, so my clothes and hair are always flying everywhere!
