My wonderful husband rarely complains about my addiction to magazines, but when the September issue of Vogue magazine arrived in the mailbox, he had a few things to say, some GOOD, (he thinks Halle Berry is the bomb), and some BAD, (why the hell is that magazine so heavy?!!)
I, however, was thrilled beyond words that the “fashion bible” had arrived in the mail. Ok, I did have a few choice words too, when I picked up the magazine and nearly dropped it on my foot because the weight caught me off guard.
My love for the September issue of Vogue started a few years back when I causally picked up an issue at Barnes and Noble. I love fashion and worked in the industry for 16 years, but part of me always felt like Vogue was “too serious” and too “out of reach” for the average person, so I never devoted a lot of time to reading it. Then in 2006, along came the movie, The Devil Wears Prada. Can I say love at first sight! I absolutely adore this movie, (ok, I’m addicted to it) and watch it at least once a month.
The Devil Wears Prada was loosely based on the life of Anna Wintour, editor-in-chief of American Vogue and her daily musing and adventures as the head of the worlds most famous fashion magazine. After seeing the movie, and gaining a new level of love and respect for the fashion industry, fashion magazines and all things stylish, I purchased the Sept. 2006 issue of Vogue. That was the turning point for my absolute admiration, devotion and love for Vogue Magazine.
Oh, and if you haven’t seen the movie The September Issue, which is a documentary about the making of the September issue of Vogue, check it out. It too is a fabulous flick.
So, while I haven’t read this years issue yet, at 728 pages, I can only imagine all the wonderful accessories, shoes, clothing and style advice the magazine holds. I plan to set aside a whole afternoon to devour each page, take notes, make a shopping list and “ooh” and “aah” over all the beautiful people.

And after I read the issue, I plan to spend the rest of the day watching two of my favorite movies.
Life is Bliss!

Have you read the September issue of Vogue? If so, what were some of your favorite features? Please share, I’d love to know.
I loved the Devil Wears Prada too- but haven’t ever been into Vogue…. I’m impressed at the sheer volume of that issue though!!!
I have never been a Vogue fan, also felt it just wasn’t very mainstream or mainstreet. But after your rave reviews, I just might splurge and read the Sept. issue cover to cover!
I too, adored The Devil Wears Prada, although I hate seeing Meryl play a mean creature!
Happy reading!
