Hey everyone,
Wow, that title is definitely a mouthful, but I really needed to cram it all in! I feel like I haven't properly written a post in AGES, just photos after photos, so this post is well needed. Alot has been going on in my life lately! I guess I'll start with the easiest thing to talk about, which is the OOHLALA magazine launch and blog awards. It was so much fun! Although I wasn't up for any awards, it was great to meet some of my favorite bloggers and also see some clothes from Penneys A/W collection.

Also, as some of you may know, I had work experience with KISS magazine all last week! It was brilliant- sitting there, in an office surrounded by people loving their job, made me realise that THATs what I want in life. I would love to work for a magazine like KISS, or any magazine at that. We had to do things like bring back clothes to shops, pick up clothes, think of ideas and we also got to make the DIY items for the craft page! The staff were all so nice. We also got our nails done by NCLA, which you can see in my next outfit post! If you would like to find out more about my work experience, simply drop me an email @ vogueandcouture@gmail.com . It was definitely an experience of a lifetime, and will definitely look good on on my CV when I leave school.
I recently pplied for volunteering at the Dublin Fashion Festival, and I'm delighted to say I was chosen! I'm looking forward to the adventures that will bring too, and I'll be posting more about that nearer to the time.
When I reach 150 followers on Bloglovin' [only 5 away guys!] I'll be hosting my first ever GIVEAWAY! I'm super excited, especially since I've never hosted one before.
Lastly, I will be posting my first ever youtube video soon- stay tuned!

Hey everyone!
As an avid magazine reader, I decided I would showcase some of my favorite magazines- a mixture of Irish, British and International. I am literally obsessed with magazines- I buy about 3/4 a month! There's nothing better than flicking through the glossy pages of a fashion bible, lusting over clothes I can't afford and beauty trends I'm desperate to try. Without these little gems, I'd probably be clueless in the world of fashion!
Seeing as I read as many magazines as I do, I'm quite the critic on which ones I like and which ones.. not so much. Although the below are my favorite, some do have their faults!
1. KISS
As you can clearly see from the picture above, KISS magazine is my all time FAVORITE magazine. I have been collecting since August 2010 and not one issue has left my bedroom. I don't believe in throwing out a good magazine- you never know when you might need it! KISS happens to be Ireland's only teen magazine, and at only €2.49 its very popular over here among us teen fashionistas. The clothes they showcase are of course, all Irish and all in euro prices- really handy compared to when I'm reading a British magazine in sterling prices! Not only is it packed with everything fashion and beauty, but the staff at KISS HQ are all so nice too. I was lucky enough to be featured in KISS twice [read my post here]. I'm also doing work experience with them in August, I can't contain my excitement!
I can't not mention the magazine that changed the lives of fashion hopefuls everywhere! Vogue is the magazine i turn to where I can catch up with the latest couture and hits on the runway. I can long for over-prices things and wonder about the eccentric makeup and photography. I find that there's more pictures than writing, so its not a magazine I buy too often- especially since it's €6 a go!
Elle is a magazine I associate with Vogue, purely because of the similar advertisements and covers. However, I actually prefer the articles in Elle! I find them a bit more relatable and well written. I love the style and elegance of it though! Still a bit pricey for me however.
I adore Ireland's newest fashion and beauty magazine. It's base on a TV show of the same on TV3, that's on every day with the latest fashion news. When I heard they were producing a magazine, I was so excited because I religiously watch the show! Luckily, it lived up to my expectations and has definitely become a favorite of mine. Quite like KISS, but aimed more towards adults. However, the cheap and chic fashion showcased in it and newest beauty products are to die for!
Probably my favorite British magazine, Company never fails to disappoint me. I think my favorite thing about is it's quirky and unique layout. It's quite a small magazine, but the doodles and finished inside the not-so-glossy pages are really charming. I love how they feature bloggers every once and again, and the latest music artists. Definitely a great magazine for variety! [*PS- the Company Style Blogger Awards have arrived, and although I wasn't nominated *cries* two of my favorite IRISH blogs Thunder & Threads and Tarmartales made the cut! Vote for them here and fly the Irish flag*]
Of course, there are so many other magazines I enjoy reading, like Stellar and Glamour. Magazines are my bibles!
What do you think? What are your favorite magazines?
