It was back in 2010 when on her friend’s suggestion that she started posting her vlogs on YouTube. Initially, Chriselle shared style tutorials on the site which were loved by many as she grew a decent fan following. It became difficult for her to post videos daily on the site and to counter this issue in 2011, she started her blog named ‘Chriselle Lim factor’. For a year and a half, she worked hard and posted both on her YouTube channel and blog. Being from a fashion school her knowledge in the subject was immense because of which her post viewership increased day by day, and she decided to make fashion blogging; which was her passion into a fully-fledged business.
She left her salaried job and started working as a full-time blogger. It took 2 yrs. for her to get her first paycheck as an influencer and after that, she never looked back. Chriselle now has more than 700k subscribers on YouTube and millions of followers on her Instagram profile.
She has employed 13 people at her downtown office in L.A. to create content for her blog. She has worked with the biggest names in a fashion which includes Dior, Gucci, LV, Armani and many more. In 2018, she launched the ‘Chriselle Collection’ with Nordstrom.
