Each month, I get about seven magazines delivered to me. It's a bit of an obsession. Some of these subscriptions are new additions, while others I have been getting for what seems like forever. For this post, I decided to give a review of some of the best magazines out there. Enjoy!
Let's start with the classic...
As far as fashion magazines go, Vogue is the ultimate. The top of the pyramid. It doesn't get any better than this. If you want the inside scoop on everything happening in the world of fashion, Vogue is your bible. For over 100 years, they have been entertaining and informing women about everything from fashion to society. It should come as no surprise that I did my speech for english class last year on the history of Vogue magazine. Nerdy, right? Nerdy chic, perhaps?
As magazines go, Glamour has to be my absolute favorite! I love it! I only recently started subscribing to this magazine, and I am so glad I did. As it often happens with me and magazines, I saw one issue that I HAD to have (this Victoria Becham one, incedentely), and I fell in love with the magazine I discovered. I was hooked, and knew that this must be delivered to my house every month. Glamour has been voted the 2010 Best Magazine of the Year, and it's not hard to tell why. I love this magazine because not only does it have great fashion spreads and editorials, but it also has many articles that apply to everyday life. A lot of times with magazines, there is nothing practical that average women can apply to their lives. This is why Glamour really stands out. They have columns about work, friends, fashion, beauty, love, and everything in between. What more could a girl ask for?
Taking a break from fashion magazines, we have Vanity Fair. First, let's all just take a moment, look at the cover above, and give thanks to God for the sexiness He bestowes upon us....
Ok, onto the review. Again, my love affair with Vanity Fair began with the purchase of one magazine (again, the one pictured above, obviously). And again, I knew it must be mine. Vanity Fair has always been a magazine that encompasses chicness and sofistication. This is the magazine that women can turn to to get their fix on current events and major worldly issues, while still remaining glamorous. It is not a fashion magazine, but rather has more social pieces for women to sink their teeth into. And that is why I love them.
I do not currently subscribe to Allure magazine, but I feel that I will sometime in the near future. I picked up this issue with Kim Kardashian on the cover a couple months ago, and I was pleasantly surprised. Allure is a beauty magazine, so it is totally devoted to issues of skin, makeup, hair, etc. It's an excellent tool for women of all ages, and gives indespensible advide for everything beauty related. I definately recommend picking up a copy, maybe even subscribing.
I've been getting Teen Vogue for a while now, and I love it! I think it is great because it takes what's hot in fashion an puts a really fresh teenage vibe on it. The things in the magazine ae things that teens can wear, so it's a perfect tool if you're looking to update you style or go for something more daring. It really is indespensible.
XOXO,
Olivia
