One of my table center pieces! :-) |
These were in the mail today! |
**Why I love Marie Claire and Glamour- These two are honestly my favs. They have a great mix of high end and affordable fashion but more importantly they are women friendly and have all things motivation and inspiration throughout! They both do an excellent job discussing women issues around the world and how we can get involved and stay informed. Glamour has the funniest reoccurring columns and features that keep me laughing for days.
**Why I love Bazaar and Elle- High end fashion all the way. Every now and again you need a little extra! Nothing like all the high end designers within reach without having to spend a dime. I also love the editorials in these magazines! You get all the super models and all the designer labels so you can dream and stay focused! I also love "Ask E.Jean" advice column in Elle. Way too entertaining.
**Why I love Lucky; People Stylewatch; InStyle Magazine- The Fashion detail! You get the price, the brand/label, and where to find it as well as suggestions for alternative finds. These magazines are mostly all fun with a hint of celebrity pics and news, which I like b/c I can't do celeb overload.
**Why I love Essence: Essence has come an enormously long way since the Essence of years ago. No longer is it boring and poorly organized. It's hip and modern with great information for an on the go black woman (or any ethnic woman to be honest, but it doesn't hurt to see our women looking beautiful). It's very career oriented with great advice for financial independence as well as news that affects the black community. Loves it! All empowering from cover to cover!
**Why I like US Weekly: Solely for the pictures! I don't read a single article b/c I don't believe one line of the gossip they print but I do like to see what they are wearing in Hollywood and who's looking hot and who is not. This is a strictly pictorial experience for me. No brain activity required!
**Why I like HGTV- I love the channel so the magazine is a no brainer. Great ideas, do-it-yourself advice, and information to keep your home as fly as you look. I'm all about the balance so if you are looking like a million bucks and your house is disheveled, disorganized, unkempt and cheapened than you are absolutely not a million bucks! Get it together!
In the corner of my bedroom. Already went through these ones. Time to rotate them to the hair salon. |
On my bedroom night stand. I try to keep these exclusive to home decor. I think it looks more sophisticated that way?? |
Why these 3 magazines are sitting on a stool are beyond me, but just more proof of overload. |
I even get the magazines on my darn ipad! They are everywhere! Attack of the mags! |
Love the idea of your own magazine made from torn out pages of other magazines! Like an inspiration board in book form.
ReplyDeleteI've been doing it since at least 2004 and it's an amazing collection. I'm really picky about what makes it to the portfolio so to keep from over doing it (like I am with the magazine collection itself...lol). When I go back through it from page to page there are so many things that I actually purchased or style inspirations I actually mirrored. That always totally blows my mind b/c it proves how useful and timeless it is! By the way, I'm adding your blog to blogs I'm lovin! :-)
