The lateness of this review doesn’t reflect how quickly I read issue 2 of Phox Pop* magazine; it was devoured within a couple of days over Christmas. (Lack of natural light and knee-deep wedding planning conspired to keep me from blogging!) Phox Pop is a well researched, engaging and beautifully designed magazine. It defies easy…
Just before Rogue One, the newest Star Wars film, was released in December 2016, Little White Lies released an a special Star Wars colour-in edition. The joy of colouring in never really leaves you when you grow up, and it was lovely to have the time (and excuse!) to get out a fistful of colouring…
From the moment I opened Ladybeard magazine, I knew it was a magazine I wanted to read: We platform the voices you won’t hear in women’s magazines; voices of the people who live any and every deviation from the straight, white, cis, able-bodied ‘ideal’. Working in themed issues, we open up old topics to vital…
Issue 2 of Peeps Magazine Crossing Thresholds, true to its name, explores people across the world; their outlooks; their lives. I loved reading a magazine where the loss of work for prostitutes in Paris shares editorial space with Maori beliefs that rivers are legal people with their own rights. Although such varying cultures, both share themes of…
The front cover of Amuseum tells you all you need to know about this magazine. Archimedes dressed as a transvestite? It’s funny, it’s random and it’s completely off the wall. Just like everything inside. Amuseum issue 3 is the June offering from Stack. It covers a diverse variety of topics, from the Kibbo Kift movement…
I recently discovered Intern Magazine, an independent magazine dedicated to debating intern experiences and ethics around internships.
Last week there was a free outdoor light festival on across central London called Lumiere. I popped over to Oxford Street last Saturday, taking advantage of living so close by. I've lived in London since April but it still feels strange to me, perhaps because I travel out of London for work, not to need a 'tourist day…
Last Saturday we went to see Sonia Friedman's production of Hamlet at the Barbican. The one with Benedict Cumberbatch that's been the 'play to see' this summer in London. I've been patiently waiting since getting the tickets months ago! The performance was utterly incredible. Hamlet is my favourite Shakespeare play and this was the most memorable production I've…
I’ve been following @5ftinf, otherwise known as Philippa Stanton, on Instagram and love her photos of ‘The Table’ where she scatters flower petals, stationery, maps and other lovely vintage objects and arranges them them in pleasing pattern and colour combinations on a big wooden table in her home. Philippa is an artist based in Brighton…
I’ve been reading the fantastic Oh Comely magazine for five years now. It’s filled with creative experiments, stories and beautiful photographs. Oh Comely celebrates joining people together and taking a break to savour life - I’ve posted gifts to a pen pal for the Perfect Strangers Project and read a Penguin Classic along with other…
