Are Successful Fashion Bloggers All Trust-Funders?

Leonora EpsteinJuly 23, 2010 //

Having your own fashion blog as your job seems kind of like one of those dream professions like modeling or acting where all you do all day is put together cute outfits and take pictures of yourself in them. The difference is that successful models get paid. A lot. That’s not so evident with independent fashion bloggers who might have a huge following but don’t seem to actually do much.
