Subscription Prescription

I had heard all the talk and every time I passed a newsstand, I tried to shield my eyes from getting an advance sneak peek at the latest edition of Harper's Bazaar. Jennifer Aniston as Barbra Streisand? I was so excited and raced down to my mailbox every day to see if my big fat fall issue was stuffed into it. But everyday, I was disappointed. My mailbox contained bills and, thankfully, current issues of some other magazines I subscribe to (Real Simple and my beloved Vanity Fair), but no HB.

The days started piling up and I began to feel like a total fashion outsider; was I the only one who hadn't seen this supposedly amazing spread? Fed up with waiting, I went to Bazaar's website to report my issue missing, only to discover that my subscription had expired. Was it possible I had missed any one of the half-dozen reminder notices they send out, enticing you, and in some cases, frightening you into renewing: "You don't want to MISS it! It's our best offer EVER!!!" I suppose I must have, because there was no Jen tribute to Babs headed my way.


No special subscriber cover, but at least I finally got it...

No matter. Now that I was aware of the situation, I just picked one up the at my local magazine shop, but I had an even bigger conundrum; should I renew or branch out and test the waters elsewhere? So, I put it to you, dear reader; and as such, would love it if you would vote in the poll below. Why not leave a comment while you're at it (we just love comments here at 365 FR!) backing up your choice? The hole in my mailbox must be filled with one fashion magazine, delivered on a regular (fingers crossed) basis. I will order whichever one gets the most votes. I promise.

Love, P

I personally love InStyle magazine and their website. InStyle is my personal choice for your fashion magazine.

Wow! I'm shocked that In Style is winning by such a high margin. I voted for W, but what about Marie Claire?

I am so loyal to Elle, I really love it. I'm not much help though because I go all over the place with my magazines other than Elle. I love the first week of each month because I get what I call my magazine fix :)

Go Elle!

Yeah, Elle is seriously it. InStyle is pretty, but I always think of it as more of a shopping magazine. Perish the thought of reading only one magazine, though.

Wow! Is it crazy to say that I am, like Marissa, kind of shocked that In Style is winning by such a HUGE percentage?
I agree with you, TP, In Style does seem more shopping-y. And 3/4 commenters vote for Elle, interesting...
Love, P
