What other magazines do you all subscribe to?  I was curious since Jane is closing down, (and I LOVED that magazine) and ELLEGirl closed down a while back, and Im running out of magazines to read/subscribe to.

 

I also get Allure, Glamour (which i LOVE), Lucky, Seventeen, TeenVogue, and CosmoGirl (which is getting really young for me, and is really not as interesting as it used to be, for me). Wow, now that I look at that list, I get quite a few magazines.

 

What bout you all?

I LOVE People Stylewatch.  It is my favorite subscription.  I also subscribe to Glamour and Lucky.  I used to subscribe to Marie Claire until they changed their layout.  I really don't like Elle--it is too runway for me.  I like mags that have clothing that I might actually would wear.

People StyleWatch?  Is that different from just plain old People? Is it every month or weekly?

I'm interested in subscribing to Vanity Fair or Bazaar, but I would like to see others opinions about it before I buy it.

Currently I get these:
Fashion:
Lucky - Love it cuz its realistic, not couture.
17 - I also like it cuz its realistic and has good coupons regularly, but Im wondering if I should stop subscribing cuz Im getting too old? 17 vs almost 25?! Does that matter?
Elle - I dont like it, like the pp said, its too runway, I wont be renewing, but I still have 3 yrs left on the subscription, I woulnt mind trading it.

Career:
PINK - I got a free yr, I guess its a fairly new magazine geared to successful career women, its got a very girly layout, but focussed on top level corp. women, a bit high on ladder for me, but its very inspiring and motivating.

Home:
Domino - Love it
Family Circle - I got like 3 yrs free by pure accident (computer glitch) and I love it! Its so modern mom/wife.
Real Simple - I like it so far.

Health Mags:
Diet & Nutrition (I have no idea how I got this one, but I love it, I hope the subscription never runs out)
Kraft's Food & Family (Free if you sign up for it, its really great and full of realistic, easy and quick recipes)
Fitness - Love It!

I subscribe to *Glamour & *Redbook (I think). I pick up *Marie Claire and *Lucky, and sometimes *In Style, when it's not 600 pages thick, that's just TOO MUCH for a magazine. I use to subscribe to Cosmo, but let it go a few years back. I have TONS of magazines piling up on my night stand, waiting to be looked thru/read, I just don't have the time anymore.... :(

I currently subscribe to Jane (no more :(), Glamour, Self... I think that's it! Oh, and I got a free sub to CosmoGirl for some reason.

I plan on subscribing to Cosmo, Cooking Light, and Marie Claire too, since I buy them every month at the newsstand.

I used to get ELLE, but I don't like it. It's too bad a subscription to British Elle is so pricy, I love it! I also read TeenVogue once in a while.

BQ: I also read Seventeen once in a while, and I'm 22. I don't think you're too old!

We get Vanity Fair. It's okay. If you like in-depth stories, biographical-based reads, a good expose', and keeping up with the upper crust, then VF might be good for you. The photography is, of course, great because of Annie Leibovitz.

I am indifferent about VF. I can take it or leave it; but I don't think I am its demographic.

Thanks for the review, pollyjean23. I'm more-so looking for inspiration/outfit ideas, which I think is why I'm drawn to Lucky/17 and not so drawn to Elle. VF doesn't sound like it's for me at the moment. Thanks again!

I get Lucky (still my fave), Domino, Elle Decor and Interior Design (which mostly only features commercial/retail/hospitality design--not interesting to anyone but people in the industry probably.) I do buy Glamour every couple months though, and always like it, so I was thinking about subscribing to that too. I like their rah! rah! go girl! mentality.

Yes, it is different from plain People.  It comes out every month or so on the stands.  I subscribed to it and love it.

I have a subscription to Bazaar.  I forgot about that one. Personally I don't like Bazaar because it is too runway for me.  It does not feature clothing I can afford or would actually wear.  However, others may disagree.

I get :

* People StyleWatch (also my new fave!)
* In Style
* Lucky
* Marie Claire (I don't really like this one anymore either since they changed their layout)
* Allure
* Glamour
* US Weekly (guilty pleasure, but I heart.gif it)

I occasionally pick up:
* Elle
* Bazaar
* Vogue

I finally stopped getting Cosmo because I just cannot relate to it - it is not a fashion mag at all IMO, and more about single girls and sex - JMO.
