I Would Like You To Meet

I love the magazine section at Barnes and Noble.

I love bringing home a big pile of new mags and curling up on the sofa with a cup of tea and drooling over the pages.

Unfortunately, so many of the magazines I used to adore have closed their doors this past year.

Like so many of you I have relied on my love of blogs (ok…obsession) to fill the magazine void.

Much cheaper I must confess but I still miss the really amazing decorating mags that are so inspiring.

We are so fortunate to live in a time of blogs, e-zines and other online magazines.

One of my favorites is Lonny.


Lonny

It is the amazing collaboration of Michelle Adams (formerly with Domino) and photographer Patrick Cline.

It is currently a free online magazine that is as inviting as sitting down with anything else I have seen lately.

It has a smart, clean layout with great glimpses into the design and style of many of my favorite designers.

I also love how they incorporate fashion because I they go hand in hand.

Enjoy your peek and let me know what you think.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

    You are so right about the Mags…I absolutely haunt B & N waiting for my ones from England to hit the racks. With the invention of digital readers, my husband reports they think bookstores will be going under in 5 years. Oh Noooo!
    What about the delicous paper? the smell of the ink? the adventure of finding them in the store? Thanks for sharing this blog; I’ll scavenge around it as I make myself late for work yet again!

    I, too, love to lurk in the magazine section of bookstores:) The internet is a wonderful, fun tool…but it’s sad to see some great magazines & newspapers go out of circulation. The online mags are fine; but, I prefer the smell & feel of the real thing:)

    I’m not gonna lie, at first I wasn’t impressed but then I got to the Cath Kidston article and began to think it was a little better, next Rachel Ashwell I was sold. Great magazine! I will be waiting for the next issue 🙂
    Thanks

    Funny, I received
    my e-mail that the
    new Lonny was out,
    but I didn’t open
    it until yesterday,
    when I needed a little
    pick me up! It IS
    gorgeous and, most
    probably, the wave
    of the future….
    Still, I’m going to
    miss dog-earing corners
    and ripping out my
    inspiration from mags!
    xx Suzanne

    Oh, I love magazines too…much too much in fact. I hate thinking about how much I spend on them. I’ll have to check out Lonny. The magazine I really miss is Cottage Living. I’m always looking for something to fill its void 🙂
