The dog days are over now that blogs are dictating what magazines fill their pages with.

Seems like there is an increase in 'street' stylised magazine editorials (You know the ones where models are styled like Kate Moss's and end up looking just as disorientated and drug induced?) For me, the change over to blogs came after I realised I had a chronic magazine obsession and like any addict, was finding it hard to fund and fuel my problem. Magazines let me down too many times. I wasn't getting the high i once did. I would walk out the news agent 20 dollars poorer and feeling used and abused.

There is a lack of consistently good content that is appropriate for our age group. We are the no-longer-a-teenager-yet-have-no-reliable-income age group.  Too old for dolly and girlfriend, financially inept for vogue and bazaar fashions and not quite alternative enough to pull off the transparent tops and crotchless pants in oyster or RUSSH.

The idea of listening to Journalists about what we 'SHOULD' wear hurts me a little inside (right in the middle bit). By the time magazines are out, chances are we are already sniffed that 'trend' out and have been avoiding it for months.  So now, magazines are copying their readers (us)? And the worse part is, I fear they are missing the point. Street fashion is natural. Street fashion doesn't have a theme. Street fashion cannot be recreated. so;
