Since September is SUCH a huge month when it comes to publications, I ended up blocking off about an hour last night to get caught up on some of my fave reads, plus a couple of randoms!
I do not consider myself a fashion expert by any means, but I do love it, so I loved all the fall fashion spreads that come with “The September Issue” of several of these pubs!
Others, like Social South and Crate & Barrel (the latter of which is hardly a magazine, but I still get a little too excited whenever I get a new catalog…), aren’t fashion focused but I still HEART them! All of this catching up was done over a decaf iced coffee while my nails were drying. An hour of PURE BLISS, I’d say! 🙂
1. Harper’s Bazaar had their biggest issue yet this month and of course it’s completely fabulous! SJP was dazzling on the cover. I particularly loved the shout out to maroon! (Or wine as they say… But I’m certain there’s a bulldog on their editorial team somewhere! ;))
I also liked their list of 10 tricks to update your style.
Here were a few faves!
2. Dare to wear your new ankle boots with bare legs, or perhaps a nice pair of cashmere ankle socks. (Keep them tonal–no prints, please!)
9. Pretty, grown-up makeup complements the season’s sophistication. The things that will get you there the fastest? A sweep of black eyeliner and a red lip. Not necessarily worn in tandem.
10. Hair matters too. Soft, loose, touchable waves–a more relaxed Lauren Bacall look, as seen at Hermes–add a feminine nuance to more tailored styles.
2. Matchbook Magazine is an online magazine that is a hybrid fashion/interiors mag. It’s just lovely!! My favorite page in the whole issue is page 50. This chick is GORGEOUS. Her whole spread is fab. It’s called Desert Darling.
Also LOVED this page. The color story and subject matter are so attractive!
3. Lastly… It’s no secret that I LOVE Rue Magazine. I’ve blogged about them many a time before! They’re also a hybrid between interiors and fashion, plus they pepper in some entertaining too which is perfect! The Wanderlust Wardrobe spread begins on page 147 and is absolutely GORGE!! And since I almost always have wanderlust… This spread was totally calling my name. Here are a couple of my favorite images…
Beautiful, right?!
And that about does it! What are your favorite September reads?
Hope you all have a GREAT weekend!!
