Magazine Dreams: +40 Fabulous


Early last year I created a bunch of mock-up  magazine covers for a dream of mine- to make a magazine full of style and substance, featuring my favorite bloggers and telling their stories. I hope some day to make this a reality. 


Wax on, VOG OFF. Satiric style is a serious eye feast featuring fabulous +40 fashion bloggers.

In the meantime though, I will get my fill of the sumptuous and satiric style creation, headed by none other than the brilliant Melanie K, of Bag and A Beret. If you haven't yet taken a peek at the sophmore issue of  Vog-Off, well, get on it! It's a feast for the eyes, and +40 fun for the soul!

Fashion Forward in the Land of Oz: Advanced Style hits the pages in the latest issue of Australian Vogue
Melanie's not the only one putting +40s fabulous on the fashion map- Ari Seth Cohen recently announced his gorgeous photo spread in the latest Australian Vogue, featuring some of the more familiar Advanced Style ladies. I need to get a copy of this issue stat! These women look gorgeous in the latest fashions, proof how glorious fashion is on women of all ages. I hope there will be more editorials and magazine spreads like these, and soon!

Yay, Bella!! Your mock-up covers are outstanding! We need more magazines with our fave style goddesses. When I started blogging and found you and Advanced Style and Patti at Not Dead Yet Style, not to mention so many jaw-dropping personal style blogs of +40 women and other incredible -40 women too, I couldn't believe it. Now we've seen the mock-ups, could the real thing be far behind...?

Thanks for the shout-out for VOGOFF. It was so much fun to put together, but it wouldn't have happened without the generous contributions of many amazing women.

I would love to see you start a magazine, in the meantime I'm off to check out Vog-Off.

I love those mock-ups, you should definitely start your own magazine (although please could it feature us 'nearly 40s too?)

50 is the new 28? 57 must be the new 30!

I love your mockup magazine covers! I can't believe I've been a cover girl twice....thanks for all your support and promotion of us 40+ bloggers. I have no doubt there's a magazine in your future!

The name is perfect, and your mock-ups are great! Using your tagline Blooming Madly would certainly define your style and content. Maybe you can start with a spread in another magazine, like Ari S-C did.

Adore your creative mock-up covers (and am utterly honoured to feature in one of them). You have a great eye for layout.
And yes, Vogoff - complete brilliance!
