eye candy from KAREN

There is something so alluring about independant magazines. The 'alien' feel of the content and the new, unheard of talent give a feeling of the unknown, and a fresh take on fashion compared to the typical English magazine. This is exactly why i spend hours at a time flicking through 'free' (well, to read and then replace) fashion magazines in the upstairs of Borders. Infact, this habit has become so bad that I probably have spent more on fruit juice and tea than i have on the magazines just so i can sit down in the cafe and read them...

To me, the articles count for alot. The editors letter usually helps to build my opinion. But the editorials are the pinnacle. A well compiled section of editorials that are neither similar nor too different whilst being intresting and showcasing the clothing always gives a magazine a 'thumbs up' from me. And 'Karen' magazine is no exception.

Apparently, "One of the best-kept art secrets in Britain", Karen magazine must not be a secret anymore. LOOK at these editorials. I think it has the certain je ne sais quoi, non?
It's intresting to look at, its beautiful in places, and in others so ugly its pretty.
I'll definately be picking it up in Borders...
