Which magazines do you read...

If you're early 30s with two kids and a high street kind of budget for your clothes?

It's been a while since I've had time to read a fashion/style mag and everything seems to be either high street budget for trendy 20 somethings or high-end designer stuff for 30-40 somethings.

Is Grazia somewhere in between?

I quite like Look.

My budget is Primark and H&M sale rail.

I buy Vogue. I'd rather be inspired by that than some depressing high street fashion shoot. It gives me enough ideas to track down dirt cheap items that are in fashion.

Look is good

Like grazia and seek out high street alternatives

Sunday times style mag is good too

I'm 32 with two children - have a Red subscription (£24 for 12 issues) which I do enjoy. I like the fashion / shopping edit at the front.

Occasionally buy Look and Grazia if they are £1. Also subscribe to Marie Claire as it was £12 for 12 issues. I'm a skin flint when it comes to magazines but do like to read them when I have time.

Also read a lot of blogs which tend to do what the magazines do but for free!

(Try Does My Bum Look 40, Susie So So, School Gate Style, Dorothy Camper, I Won't Wear Sludge Brown for lots of high street edit posts if you are interested in blogs. Then have a look at their commenters or blog rolls for plenty of others Smile)

I'm late 30s, 2 kids and a high street budget.
I read Red, Vogue and Sunday Times Style magazines. I use for inspiration and then seek out items I can afford. I read does my bum look 40, all worn out and wearing it today blogs.

Thanks everyone. Guess I'm being lazy expecting to be told where to buy things when I could just look out for my own versions of expensive looks. I follow a few style blogs on Facebook (including schoolgatestyle and avenue 57) but will seek out more!

I think Red is pretty good for 30 somethings plus.
