nice to meet you anyway

Simple yet effective.

Whether its the ones that come with the paper on the weekend, or the monthlies read by thousands of fashionistas everywhere, I’ll devour it like its a hot chocolate dipped in coffee rolled in cocoa on a cold winter eve. A tried a true method for a fashion, celeb and human interest hit a magazine comes with all the entertainment of a book, but none of the committment AND all the fashion writing of an online blog but in 3D and deliciously portable.

I have a subscription to Shop Til You Drop, a present from a family friend which is a little slice of heaven delivered to my door every month. Shop is a good one for fashion fashion and more fashion, always something I want to buy and its so nice when you see something you already own in there too! My sister gets Cleo [from the same family friend!] and also Marie Claire. Cleo is more dense in articles than Shop which also has its place, and Marie Claire shows everything I could ever want and never afford. At least not yet [here's hoping]. Pretty much every month my sis and I inevitably will buy Cosmo [where Gala from iCiNG has a column!] and maybe Madison for more of that commercial hit. We occasionally get Vogue for some high fashion goodness and I really enjoy the more indie mags Nylon when I can find it and my fav bi monthly publication frankie which in my opinion also has the best website, bonus.

For me, sitting down with a good magazine is kind of like sitting down to the computer after a month of not visiting any of my favourite blogs and reading it all in one hit. Unadultered yumminess.
