| Basically an excuse for lots of flatlay photography... |
November is a month for cuddling up with a good read as the weather starts to get colder and you just need a little boost to remind you about the positives that come with Autumn/Winter. Here’s a run down of the magazines I’m curled up with this November…
In The Moment
 |
This
is currently Issue #4 and is very much in keeping with the zeitgeist at the
moment in self-care, ‘mindfulness.’ For those of us who aren’t really into yoga
or may have the Englishness of ‘just get on with it’, we’ll probably cringe at
the idea of taking a moment to ‘find your happy.’ Yes, this magazine is a little lovey-dovey, but if you go in with an
open mind you will find yourself relaxing.
 |
It’s not all Pinterest-quotes
though, there are run-downs of good things to do in England this month, such as
wearing pink for Breast Cancer Awareness and where to find outdoor book-swaps
with Little Free Library. The pages are also beautiful, with a simple, friendly, artistic vibe. There’s pull out short stories, and a
recipe for spiced pumpkin latte. There’s a particular angle on interior
design which will immediately get you driving to Ikea to hunt out some hygge
cushions. In summary, this magazine is
basically all you need to feel a little bit warm and cuddly inside and take
some pretty instragrammable flatlays.

Aesthetica
 |
One
of the leading magazines in art, design and photography, Aesthetica publishes stunning full-page spreads with prints of
contemporary art.
 |
The glossy pages are filled with angular architecture, bright
colours and thought-provoking themes. There is a focus on photography as well
as interviews with the artists. This is
the perfect magazine to get to grips with important and up-and-coming
photographers right now, as well as providing eye-candy for any coffee table.
 |
Renaissance
 |
I
initially bought this magazine for my Mum, and, being 19, I’m clearly not the
intended demographic, but I’m actually loving it. Their tagline is ‘Exploring the beauty of age. Inside & Out.’ Their
models are beautiful older women, wearing their grey hair and wrinkles so well.
 |
 |
Even though there are articles on menopause (which luckily I’m not thinking about at all!), I really think women of all ages could benefit from a flick through of this mag. It’s honestly so great to see older, untouched faces and bodies on the pages, looking fashion-forward and proud. It’s a boost that’s telling women we can look amazing at all ages, with all body types. There’s also well-written articles about art, travel and cooking. It’s so lovingly put together, and dare I say it, empowering.

Frankie
 |
I
have hunted down this magazine for weeks and finally have the latest edition!
An Australian magazine, it can be hard to find in more remote cities in
England, but it has already become a
firm favourite for lovers of art and fashion and quirky throwbacks to vintage
patterns.
 |
With articles about culture, charities and interviews with icons
such as Debbie Harry, Frankie is more
than just pretty page layouts (although it has many many of these). It will make you want to invest in some
adorable dresses and minimal décor, as well as maybe setting up your own
company to sell shoes. It also has deeper comments on how to reflect on
tragedy and asking older generations about the secret to a happy life.
 |
Oh Comely
 | ||
Oh Comely, although English rather than
Australian, is pretty similar to Frankie. There are sections on art,
fashion, and culture, but overall, I’d describe it as a collection of ideas,
small passages of writing accompanied by beautiful illustrations and
photographs.

So that’s my list of my Autumnal magazines, what are you reading?
