Fave Fashion Magazines

  1. People Style Watch
  2. Lucky
  3. Essence
  4. Vibe
  5. Instyle

Instyle also has great books as well, to get your style right for every occasion. Their books are my favorites.

People style watch is very new and I'm sure will be around for a long time. They offer style and trend advice that you can really use. They show you celebrity looks and actually recreate the look at an affordable price and unlike the other magazines that show you the $500 version of a $3000 jacket they show you the $89.99 version. So the magazine is real life style ideas and in today's economy we can all afford to save some money.

Essence is great for style inspiration and also they give style advice for the sistas that are a size 8-10; 12- 14; 16+ . Those are key sizes that many magazines leave out because I guess they think that woman doesn't it exist but anyhow we do exist and they cater to us. Not to mention essence always has very good articles about health, Business ownership and relationships all catering to women of color.
