Hello 2017 & DIY’ing the Corset Trend
Happy 2017 everyone!! We have BIG plans this year on Blogger Not Billionaire and we are SO thrilled to continue to share our adventures with you! Today’s post is all about the corset trend that we saw start to appear towards the end of 2017.

Urban Street Style: Revisiting One of 2016’s Biggest Trends
There is no denying that 2016 has been the year of urban street style, more specifically it has been the year of Vetements coming of age and changing the way we think about fashion. While urban style may not have been the only major trend of the year (looking at your Gucci) it certainly has been the most disruptive. Only in France could a fashion house that would seemingly be so counterculture influence the mainstream and change the landscape of fashion.
