I have bookshelves, and some trunks, stocked with issues of ELLE (my favorite!) Vogue, Nylon, Marie Claire and Allure. I covet the International and September issues the most. I even have Teen Vogue and Elle girl issues conserved from many moons ago. However, when traveling, considering I treasure those aforementioned and dare not bend them... I prefer stashing Life & Style, In Touch, Us Weekly, People and Vanidades in my bag. Are you like me? Or am I alone in the fashion magazine/tabloid collecting obsession?

I'm a bit of a packrat, but trying to change so I recently threw all my old magazines into recycling.
YES. I hate bending my haute couture issues ;) haha I like that you read Vanidades.
i am the same way! the hard part is what to do with all of them when you're done... I remember you had a pretty sweet magazine shelf you set up last year, right? I wish i had the room! how do you decide what to get rid of when you really just don't have the room?

OOOOh great ;)))

In Style is far and away my most favorite fashion magazine. When they start to stack up in my room I take the time to go through them again and I tear out everything that inspires me and then recycle the rest. I sort of have a "filing system" for all the tear-outs that I want to keep :)
My tabloid-ish go-to is People, but I've been known to throw in some Life&Style and In Touch.
When I'm at the Dr.'s office I like to look at the oooooold magazines they have (one of my dr. has all his magazines from 2004 and 2005) and look at what was "in style" then haha :D
Considering my mountainous stacks of fashion magazines are often a point of contention between my boyfriend and I....I'd say my fashion mag obsession is definitely unhealthy, if not bordering on dangerous. ;)

I never read tabloids, but I definitely agree with you about collecting fashion magazines. I cannot fly on a plane unless I have an issue of Vogue. It's fashion at your fingertips.

I'm the same - I save my Vogue, Elle, Bazaar, Teen Vogue but when I travel I buy People, Us, etc. You get more magazines for the same amount of space in your carry-on. It just makes sense.
YES YES YES I save way too many back issues. But I can't bring myself to trash them. Just can't. :(
ah i save ALL my magazines too haha! X
i love collecting fashion magazines, just the pleasure to know that i have them, even if they're old

Oh my freaking gosh I am a fashion magazine HOARDER. So no, you're not alone. LOL. I still have Teen and YM magazines dating back to 1995. I just figure they're close to becoming collector editions now. Ha.
I think it's a fabulous thing to do though. I mean, you never know when you'll need inspiration from like two years ago. ;)
Yeees, I have sooo many fashion mags, not tabloids though. I flip through them, cut out inspiration, and make collages, then toss em- its fun ;) you should do the same, you'd e surprised at things from years ago that are sooo fashionably relevant today. happy weekend looove :)
I never throw away my magazines, good thing I'm not alone! I love collecting them and yes I am guilty to liking the tabloids too-- not LIKING but subconsiously addicted? haha. and if I ever can't keep a mag for some reason I always keep the cover!

You are going to end up with a lot of magazines. www.copperetiquette.wordpress.com
I've never really gotten into tabloid mags (I prefer the internet for celeb stalking) but I totally hoard all my fashion mags & have stacks upon stacks saved from YEARS past just like you. xx

I AM COMPLETELY THE SAME! I am addicted to magazines, and just recently had to limit my collection to the ones from the past year because I ran out of space for all of them!

I just recently recycled 10 years worth of magazines. I was pretty obsessed with making sure they were all sorted by date and title and the whole thing. It felt like letting go of personal history. But there were special ones (from international or person on the cover or whatever) that I kept of course! And in the two months since I did that I've already hoarded all my latest magazines. I didn't do it with tabloids-just fashion!
well im glad to know im not alone in this. i have about a closet full of old magazines. and it keeps stacking up as much as ive tried to cut down; its an addiction!

I also have a closet filled with fashon magazines. I absolutely love them! I read them twice, and after that I use them for my style book.
You are defenitely not alone in this obsession haha
♥
oh goodness ... you are most definitely not alone ... i had to finally go and buy a big ol' pink trunk to stash my 'zines that is currently sitting prettily at the end of my bed.
bex.
Oh girl, you are not alone about this!!
haha I keep ever one as well...
Now you don't make me feel so bad about my collection as well. I recently wrote a post about all the fashion magazines I have and how my family teases me that I'm hoarder because of it. But many have come to my defense :)
