So Much Great Design Reading & Inspiration At The Moment
And the latest buzz in blog land is the most anticipated magazine - Rue Magazine (I really like the name), by bloggers extraordinaire - Anne ( I once won a giveaway over at her blog that made me giddy for a week) and Crystal. These two girls (with their teams) rock and have so many fun and creative things up their sleeves. Yes, almost every blog I follow has mentioned the launch of this on-line magazine, but since the vast majority of my readers are non bloggers – take it from me and follow this magazine!
Sweet Paul, food & prop stylist/blogger, Prince Paul, just lauched the Fall issue (second issue) of his magazine Sweet Paul Magazine. Another must-read with tons of inspiration. Be prepared to drool — literally.
And then finally. Ms. Grace Bonney (behind the one and only — DesignSponge!) is getting ready to launch her design inspiration (hard copy) book this fall. From what I understand this book will be a fabulous mix of design chic meets ”real” people. I am so going to pre-order it! I will let you know when it is available.

So, tons of more fun reading again and excellent on-stop shops for great design inspiration. (And yes, there is room for you all. Just keep on being creative and go your own way!). I could not be any happier!
I am investing in a good pair of new glasses (thick, square Prada, in case you are interested), since my eye doctor says I am going bi-focal. (Yikes!) Then I will be reading in style again — and with all of this lovely design material — like a very content cat.
Hugs & happy reading to you all!

RIP Domino… but thank god for Lonny, right?! And it’s so nice to see some print magazines coming out – so excited that Lonny & Anthology will be offering print – I miss actually holding a magazine in my hand! But I have to say I’m just loving all these online mags!!

Love all these picks, of course, but you know I have a soft spot for Rue! Julie

Great post on Charlotte’s blog Monika! I just left a comment on it.
Also, I totally agree with you about Sweet Paul’s magazine. I spent my precious evening last night perusing through the pages. I literally wish I could memorize every recipe from the mag. I’ll definitely check out Rue Magazine.
Have a great weekend sweetie!
p.s. great photo of you at the end.

Yes I agree and I love all this new & inspired reading we are being given by the talented teams behind Rue, Lonny, Sweet Paul and many more. Though there is something so lovely about curling up in a reading nook with a cup of tea and a printed magazine, I so appreciate the digital younger sisters too!
Sorry to hear about your eye trouble, but I agree, a little dash of Prada usually brigthens the day..
You will look wonderful I am sure (teamed with those boots from the guest post.. xx).
..and whilst on the topic.. THANK YOU for guest writing over at Space for Inspiration. I and my readers loved your Autumn inspiration.
Hugs from Sweden

Hej!
Glasögon är kul då det finns en massa att pröva och billiga att köpa, för att läsa med i alla fall. Har just inhandlat ett par blåa runda hos Ebba& Jag på Hornsgatan den mysiga butiken du en gång rekommenderade stod med ett par knallrosa fyrkantiga med i handen men alla tyckte de blå var roligast.
Var hos min kompis hos Kristina Knalls galleri längre ned mot slussen.
I just LOVE to be home!

Hi Mon,
I’ve been so rushed off my feet lately I haven’t even had a chance to look at Rue magazine. I must be the only blogger on the planet to say that!
Have a lovely weekend.

what would we do without our on-line magazines these days? So much fun to visit over and over. Now, I expect to see a few projects of yours there one day – or a space or two from your home!
Mon, how kind and supportive you are. Thank you.
Love, Donna

I was pretty excited to learn about Lonny, over the moon about Rue, and now? Thrilled about Sweet Paul and the Design Sponge book. So much fun
I cannot wait to pour over Sweet Paul more this week — looks delicious!
