I am a confessed magazine addict. Now, don’t get me wrong. I am all in favour of these new funky online beauties that are springing up everywhere, like the lovely heart home magazine. Maybe they will even save me from having to find ever bigger homes to house my collections. I have been toying with the idea of giving away some of my hundreds of magazines but am still dreaming of one day building a huge library (à la karl lagerfeld) to house all my beloved books and mags. So, I thought it might be fun to show you some of my babies. Of course, there are the usual suspects. But I have also chosen some more obscure ones and some that, unfortunately, are no longer in print or didn’t make it very far. I hope you’ll discover something new!
