October 2018 Reading List


What I read when I just don’t have time to pick up an actual book + where I get my inspiration for my work + projects


As much as I love to read,

some months are so busy that I barely have time to sleep, let alone pick up a book that I know I won’t be able to put down. But that doesn’t mean I abandon all reading. Instead, I pick up one of the handful of magazines that we subscribe to and browse through, reading articles as time allows. It’s the perfect way for me to get in some reading, without having to commit to an entire book. Bonus- I also find magazines to be very inspirational (for those of you who are always asking where I get my inspiration for ideas, projects, recipes, this is one of the ways). Outside of a few specialty subscriptions (think things like Rose & Ivy Journal, or Kinfolk), these are my 5 favorite magazines to subscribe to:

CN Traveler // for traveling inspiration + tips

Porter // for beautiful + unique fashion and beauty stories

Martha Stewart Living // for recipes, interior design, entertaining stories + general living tips

Bon Appétit // for recipes + beautiful food photography

Food & Wine // for incredible food stories
