Magazines and Blogs

I check out quite a few magazines and blogs, some I come across by accident through my tumblr blog, others I go and visit expecially, some I buy occasionally, others I read week in week out!
They all play a part in what I take in creatively and all the one's I've written out here are a bit of a dream list for my work to appear in. I have more that I check over from time to time but I have so many places bookmarked it's impossible to just put my mouse cursor over them! I must re organise my bookmarks!
All hail a press pack...Hello Business Mine!

The Cut Newspaper
http://www.thecutnewspaper.com/
Comepletely made my under 21 year olds, this is a fun, fresh and fashionable magazine, covering everything that's of the moment, music to style!

Dazed Digital and Dazed Magazine
http://www.dazeddigital.com/
Not just a fashion magazine. Covers art, music, fashion. I love this magazine even though I don't read it often, I love how it is so respectful to all the creative areas, I find that some magazines take the view of 'fashion is the only way'. 

Amelia's Magazine
http://ameliasmagazine.com/
Though not as highly styled or as powerful as Dazed, Amelia's magazine is another  place that loves everything creative.

Supersweet
http://www.supersweet.org/
I'm not very informed on Supersweet but I like them, they seem to like new things and interesting creative areas! I think they are a shop too!

Urban Outfitters blog
http://blog.urbanoutfitters.com/
I used to be attached to this at one point in my life, not so much now but it's still brilliant. It does appreciate everything including crafts.

The Cool Hunter and Cool Hunting
http://www.thecoolhunter.co.uk/
http://www.coolhunting.com/
Two separate but wide ranging blogs that show the best of what's out there across multiple disciplines.

Fashion156
http://www.fashion156.com/blog.php
I love this blog. Again appreciative of everything but has a heavy focus on fashion and is particularly drawn to upcoming designers fresh from college! They like to keep you up to date with the fashion weeks and post some of the best fashion shoots. 

Style Bubble
http://stylebubble.co.uk
A very well known blog covering fashion.

Drama Magazine
http://drama-magazine.com/
I love this magazine, it has some amazing images inside full of fresh and known fashion on known and unknown talent. Beautifully styled but it doesn't seem to be around very much lately. It's made only three very good magazines.

Nylon
http://nylonmag.com
Aimed at the fresh and funky youth, imported and widely available in the UK, it is predominantly US based. Almost like a younger, playful Dazed.

V
http://www.vmagazine.com/
Just too much good stuff. The very best of fashion. It knows who's the best and who to look to.

AnOther
http://www.anothermag.com/reader
Brilliant, also. Fashion, plenty of reading too.

Vogue
http://www.vogue.co.uk/
If you need to find something out about mainstream fashion then I go here. If I can get my hands on a Vogue Italia then I'm very pleased, they are the best of the Vogues.

Broadsheet supplementary magazines such as the Telegraph Magazine are read weekly, picking up on all areas of creative industries with reading material to boot. Fashion areas are completely up to date.
