Vintage Life...

I was pleased to find that my local WhSmith stocks Vintage Life magazine. I have been searching for a while and then magically it appeared ... lucky moi!
I really love the size of it, cute and portable. The article about women wearing red really stood out to me, I adore the colour, but because of my ginger locks I find it quite difficult to find the right shade. For this reason I stick to  red beauty products; I posted a few years ago about YSL lipstick, which is still my favourite red to wear for a statement pout.
Another fashion feature titled Seventies Chic was fab, bullet points about the different trends of the decade and still life images of garments from Rokit and Modcloth, all reasonably priced, give a good insight into how the trends can be worn today.
Other articles on pearls, art deco watches and a step by step on getting the perfect sixties makeup trend, were enjoyable to read.

At £3.80 Vintage Life is such a great magazine which focuses on fashion, beauty, home and lots more from the 20's to the 70's. If you like the sound of it, head to the fabulous website and subscribe, or find your local stockists.

Picking up the post in the morning is such a mundane task, and usually consists of bills, bills, bills oh and a few bank statements; so exciting...not! Well this morning it all changed, there lying on the mat, was my copy of Vintagexplorer magazine. Such a surprise because I had only ordered it two nights ago from their eBay store and it gave a weeks expected delivery. They got an instant 5 star feedback!

So the basics, it's bi-monthly and has features on fashion, interiors, technology, events and places you must visit. All in all a great selection of information, which I have read cover to cover and loved. The layout makes it easy to ready and there is a good flow from story to story. Although it's a great read, it has had the same result that Vogue and Glamour have, in that it has made me want to shop. I think I need to be hypnotized. My shopping ban does not include magazines, so I will definitely be heading to the website to purchase the back issues :)
