I'm 33 and I buy Red and Easy Living. Mostly because I like the fashion spreads and their beauty bits.

I'm very well, thank you. Wink

And 44 next week.

I currently have a Marie-Claire subscription, but I've gone off it recently -the fashion is too high-end and trendy for me, and, though the articles are good, it's all a bit....thin, and I've read it all within minutes. I'm planning to swap to She or Red.

Every now and then I leaf through a copy of Cosmo or Company and feel about 250 years old.

ethelina · 13/02/2011 21:46

I am mighty fine, thanks. 33 years old and Grazia/Heat Blush and occasional Marie Claire

snowbobby · 13/02/2011 21:47

I'm 40 and have a Marie Claire subscription

VerityBrulee · 13/02/2011 21:48

I am 41 I buy Vogue, US Vogue, Harpers, Elle, Red, Easy Living, Living etc, Elle Decoration, Australian Vogue Living, House and Garden, Donna Hay and Grazia Blush

In my defence I have few other vices Smile

applecrumbleandcream · 13/02/2011 21:49

I'm 40 and I buy Essentials and Cosmo. Essentials does the rounds = myself, mum and sister all enjoy reading it. Good affordable fashion, articles, recipes. Cosmo just because I've bought it for years!!

LeChatRouge · 13/02/2011 21:51

Not bad thanks, feeling rested after a lazy day and have a quieter work week ahead.

I get Elle, Marie Claire and Company on subscription, someone at work gives me her Vogue and Grazia.

I like Elle best at the moment.

ednurse · 13/02/2011 21:51

23 at the end of this month, I buy Closer weekly and Company monthly.

BelligerentGhoul · 13/02/2011 21:52

I'm lovely, thank you. :)

41

I buy Red and like Vogue for the pictures but don't buy it as there's nothing to read in it.

MrsSeanBean · 13/02/2011 21:52

I am 39. I subscribe (much cheaper!) to:
Vogue
Harper's
World of Interiors

I'm sometimes seduced into getting Grazia, but usually regret it as I hate all the 'my heartbreak after boyfriend cheated with my Mum / Sister / a.n.other...' type stories.

BelligerentGhoul · 13/02/2011 21:54

I bought '25 Beautiful Homes' today as we were having a slob day and have spent several happy hours drooling!

Francagoestohollywood · 13/02/2011 21:54

I am 40, I buy -occasionally- Living Etc, Vogue UK (but I don't enjoy it as much as I did) and Elle Italy.

yummytummy · 13/02/2011 21:55

i'm 33 and get essentials for the practical recipes etc. also feel old reading cosmo but still do! like grazia but the fashion is too trendy and overpriced for me.

fishie · 13/02/2011 21:56

i too am fine. i take oprah. its cheaper than brit mags. even with overseas postage.

traceybath · 13/02/2011 21:57

I am 38 I buy UK Vogue and US Vogue.

KenDoddsDadsDog · 13/02/2011 22:01

I'm tired! And 37.
I buy Red, Easy Living and sometimes Marie Claire.
Get Grazia on subscription and a selection of uber trash like Closer,Now etc.

Gillybobs · 13/02/2011 22:35

Im 37 and subscribe to Red and Easy Living. Nothing else worth reading imo : )

Honeymum · 13/02/2011 22:38

I'm 42 and I subscribe to Easy Living. Just taken out a subscription to Vanity Fair (£9 for 6 issues and a shedload of Benefit freebies), in hope that Rob Pattinson is going to feature soon Blush

planestrainsautomobiles · 13/02/2011 22:40

I'm 32 - monthly subscription to RED, Living Etc and Junior Magazines...

CointreauVersial · 13/02/2011 22:41

Never read Easy Living. What's it like?

From the title it sounds a bit knitting-patterns-and-gardening-tips.

hugebelly · 13/02/2011 22:42

For those of you who buy Vogue is it for the high-end fashion or for the advertisements?

Everytime I read it, I think 60% is advertising and editorial is based up those who spend more on advertising within the magazine.

I'm 33 and I have a subscription to Vanity Fair.

Honeymum · 13/02/2011 22:43

Easy Living - reasonable fashion (ie not just for the young folk), good interiors, beauty and travel, and always loads of good website recs and celebrity interviews that you want to read. Me likey.

hugebelly · 13/02/2011 22:43

VerityBrulee - what are your other vices (very curious! Wink)
