Well here's what I shall be reading in the hairdressers:
Glamour (UK) February 2010-£2
It's a pretty cover and there are some lovely shots of Cheryl, taken by Robert Erdmann.
I just love the outfit the lady above is wearing- what gorgeous textures! She was photographed with her boyfriend by Robert Maxwell for a relationships feature. Liking these bright colours of these fun watches muchly too- by Des Lewis.
What a nice, girly shoot from Chris Craymer, with many fabulous clothes I'd love to have in my wardrobe.
And another month of inspiring beauty looks from Glamour. =]

American Vogue January 2010- £4.50
This is the issue currently available in W H Smiths in England but could well be out of date over in America.
I'm not a particularly a huge fan of celebrity covers and in general they don't affect me to make me buy a magazine (except sometimes they may actually put me off depending on the individual but that's another post), but Rachel McAdams here is a wonderful actress and I really admire her work on the website Green is Sexy of which she is a founder. The cover, shot by Mario Testino, is just stunning, with those exquisite Dolce and Gabbana rose prints. It could well be one of my favourite ever covers.

At the beginning of the decade I was a 7 year old with absolutely no interest in any Bond Street store or high end magazine so I read the best dressed of the decade feature with intrigue and was very pleased to see a Luella dress (ss10) in there!
Steven Meisel photographed this rather fabulous editorial with Sasha Pivovarova and various musicians. My favourites are the Nina Ricci (those shoes! the lace) and the ever so ladylike Rochas dress. 
David Sims shot 'An Education's Carey Mulligan in some kooky but lovely get ups as well as a rather nice 'utility jacket' editorial and 'curvy' model Lara Stone looks gorgeous, but I'm sadly not convinced that curves have truly returned till I see many more models with similar figures, still, it's a most welcome article.
Instyle (UK) February 2010- £3.50 
I like Reese Witherspoon (who couldn't love the brains behind Elle Woods) well enough but I've got to be honest and say this isn't the most inspiring cover. Photographed by Mark Abrahams it's pleasant enough but isn't ground breaking. Yet I also love this issue and am really glad I had a flick through and bought it- now it's been looked at so much it's getting a tad scruffy!

There's a fabulous article on young fashion bloggers (horray!), and appropriately my posts And they called it Bunny love and How I feel right now were partially inspired by items within Instyle's pages. I'm not generally a platform girl when it comes to shoes but oh do I adore those bird print Miu Miu shoes!
So many lovely things to buy.
There's an interesting piece on the Missoni clan and an earring DIY. Hmm gorgeous floral bolero, surprisingly from H&M- it looks so much more expensive! I tried to find it in Birmingham
to no avail but they have got some beautiful 50s housewife style pieces.

Great post!
You almost make me want to buy a magazine. Almost. But then I remember all the fluffy advice and fawning celebrity interviews that come witn the lovely editorials, and I know why I prefer to stick to blogs. I wish magazines would get some substance again, you can read pretty much all of them in an hour from front to back now. I wish the face still existed. now that was a great magazine.
Sorry, off on a tangent!
I ripped a couple of pages out of that issue of Glamour (my Dad found it on a train and brought it home as a curiosity) - there were some great outfits in there, but the writing was absolute tripe. (spoilers!)
"How to tell what ALL MEN want: we ask one single guy!" And the headlines on the cover didn't even correspond to the stories they were listed as on the contents page! The Improve your man in bed article was a quiz on whether your relationship was too co-dependent. That just plain shouldn't be allowed.
I can't wait to get my hands on these mags!
Some of my favorite mags!
Fab post, darling!

I only tend to buy British Vogue, or Nylon, but I might have a look at some of the others, actually...
