Rating: - If You've Outgrown Your Fashion Monthly, Try InStyle
With so many newspapers, magazines, and online information depots from which to choose, I take my indulgence in a single fashion monthly seriously. Three or four years ago, I began to grow weary of the silliness and adolescence so often present in the many magazines that line the newsstand. Wasn't there a smart and sophisticated fashion monthly out there geared toward the educated upper middle class crowd? After a meticulous search, I found InStyle.The photography is outstanding and abundant. The writing is spare, witty, and intelligent. No dumbing down, no silly boyfriend articles, sex advice, or gossip columns here. InStyle's phone-book-like generous monthly issues feature timely articles on fashion, beauty, lifestyle, celebrity, interior design, and entertaining. All accompanied by breathtaking glossy color photographs. The occasional "special issues" are also a bonus. These are extra issues - in addition to the twelve issues per year - that are devoted exclusively to fall fashion, weddings, or holiday entertaining. If you've outgrown the other fashion magazines - either in age or in income - take a look at InStyle. It has your demographic cornered.
Rating: - I can't wait to receive each month
I was given the subscription to this magazine as a gift and I think that I will continue after the year is up. I love seeing all that there is about the style and culture of the people in the stories.
Rating: - Guilty pleasure
A great balance of fantasy - loads of photos of stars at parties, fabulously expensive jewelry and accessories - and just enough reality to keep it interesting. InStyle focuses on celebrity lifestyles - fashion, beauty, parties, homes and travel. No mean-spirited gossip or heavy reading here, just page after glossy page of self-indulgent fun. Making the package complete are some of the best fashion and beauty tips anywhere - unlike other fashion magazines, they show clothes that can be worn by real women with real lives. I look forward to reading every page, every month!
