Magazine Subscriptions.



I love magazines. In fact one of my favourite indulgences is a lazy morning with coffee and a stack of the latest mags to flick through. 

When I lived in France English and American magazines were so flippin' expensive that they really were a luxurious treat. Once I was living in America I was quick to subscibe to a number of weekly and monthly glossys - it's a seriously cheap way to get your mag fix!  Now, there have been a few that have come and gone but these are my constant subscriptions that are continuously renewed year to year:


  • Vogue Surely this has to be the ultimate magazine? In addition to the sumptuous photography there are some amazing features. From politics to art to science Vogue covers a lot of ground in an educated, unfluffy way. This month there's fiction by Ian McEwan and I always enjoy the medical and food articles.
  • Allure Have you seen the contents of the majority of my posts? 'Nuff said as to why this one is in the pile! With in depth analysis of beauty trends and launches, it's an enabler that's for sure.
  • Vanity Fair I love the long articles in VF. It has great writers and wonderful photography.
  • Bon Appetit I'm always on the lookout for new food news and ideas. BA isn't the most 'cheffy' of publications out there but it has a bright modern feel to it and a smattering of travel/restaurant articles and recommendations.
  • US For my weekly fix of pop culture/ celebrity gossip. It's not as scurilous as the other weekly tabloid mags. Pure escapism!
  • New York Magazine Now bi-monthly New York mag keeps me up to speed with what's happening in NYC and features interesting articles of relevance to the city.
  • Time Out New York Because I'm old school and sometimes it's easier to browse cinema and other listings in a hard format rather than online. Having this in my mail box each week means that I go through it and don't miss out on shows, exhibitions etc.


Do you subscribe to any publications?
