The glorious hot holiday-like weather we've been having in the UK inspired me to read the most summery independent magazine I could find - and I think I've found it in Caboodle Magazine, issue 7. Caboodle is quite unlike any other independent magazine I've read before, exuberantly bursting with cheerful colour, fun and summer vibes.…
Designers influence so much of our lives, yet their own lives can be a bit of a mystery. So, I was fascinated to read issue 3 of Backstage Talks, the April 2018 magazine from my Stack subscription. Backstage Talks magazine delves beneath the surface of design, going 'behind the scenes' and interviewing designers about their careers,…
Getting to peek into beautiful homes has always been a guilty pleasure of mine. In another life I'd like to be a cat to acceptably peer through people's windows. 91 Magazine, a design and lifestyle magazine, fills the void wonderfully. Caroline Rowland, founder and editor of 91 Magazine, decided to create her own magazine when…

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…
When the lovely people at Stack popped Print Isn't Dead Element 004 through my door, it took me ages to work out what the name of this colourful design magazine was. Every time I saw 'Print Isn't Dead' I assumed it was a slogan, y'know, like all us independent magazine lovers hashtag our social media…
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…
