Monday Musings: Lifestyles of the chic and fabulous...

I am in love...♥! In love with some pretty fabulous publications which are online these days. New web-based magazines are springing up every day and among them are great lifestyle ones which just happen to be both chic and fabulous. Thanks to my brilliant friend Kiki of Kiki Nakita and Kiki Nakita Lifestyle Design, I am now a very big fan of Matchbook Magazine. This magazine is a dream come true for lovers of fine and simple things --it makes me dream of macaroons and lace tea towels, it's elegant and spectacular all at once. Katie Armour and Jane Lilly Warren are the founders of this fantastic magazine and I cannot wait to see what else they bring our way. Some of my favorite things from this premiere issue:

Ideal Bookshelf 97 IS print by janemount on Etsy

pg. 14 on Matchbook....

this Strand mug...only because Strand is the best used bookstore in all 

of NYC and a place that I spent a lot of time in since childhood thanks to 

my father's love of bookstores, particularly used ones... (pg. 14)

Pages 34 and 35 about Princess Margaret struck my fancy as well. There are some really great articles and though I have not read through the entire magazine yet (I'm taking my time to savor the publication), I can tell that each article is well thought out and beautifully written. As I said earlier, I am in love...this is total soul liberation and major eye candy for the lover of all things dreamy.

Matchbook's tumblr is even delectable. After looking at it I really want to read Nine Stories by J.D. Salinger and have a living room to decorate in Rita Konig style...sigh! 

So, check out Matchbook and while you're at it, here are a couple more mags I think you'd enjoy:

Lonny Magazine is a publication whose mission is to, in their own words, "reopen the doors of accessible design."

Adore Home magazine is also a must read for you design lovers...

Cheers!
