Now I must confess, Vogue magazines are one of those magazines I hardly ever buy. I got some issues on my bookshelf but compared to my huge collection of Elle and Glamour magazines, Vogue magazines are quite a few. British Vogue and Vogue in general, is one of those magazines I think is way overrated. I think the bosses at Vogue, want to appeal to a certain class of people, and alienate the rest, unlike other magazine houses, and guess what, it is working. They have succeeded in alienating most of us. I find most articles in Vogue boring, with little or no substance. However, I am loving the latest issue with Gigi Hadid on the cover.
Gigi Hadid looks amazing, dressed so casually, unlike other Vogue cover girls. She looks like the ‘girl next door’, and I can relate to that. I have heard quite a lot about Kendall Jenner’s new BFF, I see her a lot on Instagram and about on social media in general, but I know little about her. Apart from the fact that she is best friends with some of the most famous young women in the world, and I think she now models, I spotted her on the Victoria’s Secret show debut last month, but apart from that, I know nothing else about this young woman, and I am curious, so I may be buying this issue.
I find her quite interesting, and I am so loving the relaxed look of the cover. It is like a breath of fresh air, compared to the other cover girls, dressed to the nines.
I am also interested in reading more about the other articles listed on the cover, especially, ‘Your Style Forecast for 2016’, and ‘Seven Ways to a Waist’, they sound quite interesting.
I will probably get someone to get a copy for me, lol..I struggle to part with my cash for magazines sometimes, especially when they are over a pound.
Do you struggle to? Drop me a comment, let’s chat.
Thanks for reading and have a lovely Friday.
I agree about Vogue, but I love this cover, what a gorgeous campaign!

Yea it is a beautiful cover.
I used to buy magazines when I was younger, but hardly buy them now, as I think they are just too expensive. I have never brought Vogue though as to me it was never aimed at normal everyday people x
Yea the price is way too heavy.
Gigi is very girl next door and like you I am not a fan of Vogue, I think it excludes socio-economic backgrounds that do not adhere to a certain image. In fact you have just given me a blog post idea thank you x
Oh I am happy to hear that Ana. Thanks for reading.
The older I get the less mags I buy. They are always just full of adverts which annoys me! Most libraries offer free eMagazines of some of the major glossys for free so I’ll just stick to them!
Becca
Yea the ads have increased a lot these last couple of years.
Wow i absolutely love the vogue cover, gigi is gorgeous to. x
Yea she is. Thanks Marie.
Wow I absolutely love the vogue cover. x Gigi is gorgeous to. x
She looks very stunning and lovely. She really carries off the smart casual look well.
Yea she does x
I subscribe to Elle, Instyle, Vogue, Bazaar, Marie Claire, Porter and Lucky. For years too. Glamour, now way because it does not appeal to me. I really love Vogue. Though the contents can be boring sometimes but I get a lot of style inspirations from them. I just finished reading the December issue this morning. I have close to over 100 magazines that I am yet to read because I fell behind when I got pregnant with my son two years ago. My #1 fav thing to do became the least on my list.
As for Gigi, I saw her mom on the RHOBeverly Hills and I just fell in love with her. Gigi seems like a sweet gir and very pretty too.
I find Vogue so boring. Glad I am not the only one.
Ha I find Vogue totally boring but the cover is fabulous and Gigi looks stunning x
Yea she is. Thanks Rachel.
I love this cover. Gigi looks great. At less than 20, she’s done so much. Great girl, live her mama too.
I haven’t even seen this when I did my photos spotting a cap like this and saluting….glad I was thinking like a Vogue Stylist☺☺
Cheers

You are like a Vogue Stylist…Thanks girl.
Thank you Stella. I believe you.
I may not say this often, I salute your courage, strength and consistency. You are amazing. Much Love.
Thanks Moji. That means a lot to me.
I watch the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and Gigi’s mother Yolanda is on it. The whole family seems so lovely. Gigi and her sister are wonderful models and I wish them all that their mother can get a cure for her Lyme Disease.
Oh I don’t watch that program but I have heard quite a lot about it. Thanks Nadine.
I used to buy vogue religiously when I was a prop stylist for fashion mags (and even got to do a shoot for said mag) but nowadays I tend to read most stuff online and aim for arts/ins dependent mags. Love discovering Gigi though, watched her on the red carpet and she’s definitely got a spark about her. X
Yea she is amazing. Thanks Lori.
Once upon a time when I wanted to be Editor In Chief of my own mag, I had the magazine stashes of mag stashes ranging from mainstream to ‘alternative’ fashion mags- the ones made for creatives and published at set times during the year e.g. quarterly and that cost up to and above 10 pounds- and i would pay without batting an eyelid…
As for Gigi H, she is a very pretty girl yep, but she does nothing for me…also the white contraption she wore to a music award show deserved 50 lashes and a walk of the plank…
Her mum is also known for taking selfies in the hospital. I rest my case…
Yea I heard about the very expensive mags for creatives. I wanted to get some back in the day when I also wanted to be an Editor In Chief, lol…
I love Gigi!! I do love a magazine from time to time, they are so pricey though. I bought 4 some weeks back and that came to almost £20, crazy!
Yea they can be pricey
