FASHWAN PORN!!!

This post is partly inspired by my friend Stephanie Lou Lou, the marvellous pen smith of the raspberry branch blog...apparently me coining the term "FASHWAN PORN" was highly amusing and in my world simply refers to my fashion magazine habit that unlike blue movies is the kind of thing that gives me goose bumps and gets me all excited. Mostly because I am obsessed with all thing fash related.

So dear readers I thought I would regale you with what has been inspiring me this week... Now I'm no magazine snob, I like a bit of low brow mixed in with my high brow. I am a big fan of Elle and the marvellous writing skills of its contributors, I feel that not only does it cater to my sheer addiction to shopping and dreaming about fashion week it also provides features that tap into the life of the everyday lady that I am. As well as Elle I do like a bit of Vogue and Grazia too. In terms of the early adapter publications the list is long and fruitful, I love imagery that puzzles, titillates and stimulates my appetite for directional imagery. Love is a new favourite and I am in awe that it comes from the commercial powerhouse that is Condé Nast (home of the Vogues) but since it is edited by the fabulous Katie Grand it is unsurprising that it is so bloody marvellous.

I have been a keen reader of Nylon for many years, after discovering the American publication at university. The matt paper, super cute images and awesome culture pages make it one for the cool kids. Despite this it is well written, current and full of up and coming designers and musicians as well the usual famous folk.

My last choice this month was Pop... I have been a keen reader since the days of Katie Grand before she jumped ship to Love. The bi-annual has been at the forefront of directional publications, dressing rabbits, cats and other creatures great and small in accessories and gems as well as using objects as clothes horses. This as well as profiles of It girls, cute boys and artists have made Pop a love of mine.

As well as the aforementioned I heart reading...
