We’re also thinking this is the perfect milestone moment to take a look back at the hottest trends of 2017 and a look forward to what might be the next big things coming in 2018. Join hosts Kirsten and Graham as we revisit this time last year and remember what was predicted to be the hottest fads in food, fashions, and home decor. Was our 2017 was as trendy as we thought or did we miss the boat? We also dig into what are expected to be the emerging crazes for 2018 and decide whether we are on board or staging a boycott!
