You hear a lot about how the digital age is taking over the publishing market, but I still love my stacks and stacks of magazines. Pinterest may be a great way to save and organize online inspiration, but I like to do some things the old, reliable, consistent way and that usually means ripping pages out of magazines when I see something I love!
My stack of magazines consists of Elle Decor, House Beautiful, and Architectural Digest. These staples of design inspiration are always a welcome sight in the mailbox and keep me updated on what my favorite designers and architects are doing, upcoming trends, and new products and books. Every issue has something valuable.
Of course, there are design magazines that I follow online as well. These would include Lonny Magazine, Interiors, and Traditional Home. Reading online is more interactive, with links to follow and images to pin to Pinterest. I definitely enjoy this medium, but do hope it never entirely replaces print magazines.
I also love some fashion and health magazines. I read Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar online, both of which are great fashion resources. I get a lot of inspiration from the world of fashion. The health magazines I subscribe to are Shape and Women’s Health. Both contain valuable, real-world information on a subject that is very important to me. I also like the recipes in Women’s Health, even though I don’t often have time to try to them out.
Everyone needs a trashy, veg-out type of magazine, and for me, Us Weekly does the trick. I read it backwards!
