good reads: n.e.e.t.-o!

n.e.e.t. magazine is the brainchild of Stephanie J, who is based in the UK. Everything in the indie, online magazine is handpicked, designed and organized by her, the editor, and i love what she selects to share with us, the readers. eclectic and stylish, n.e.e.t. covers a lot of fashion and vintage couture, but also some great shopping tips in various cities, like brooklyn and vancouver, and last but not at all the least, n.e.e.t. shares some wonderful interior inspiration and diy tips.

in their last issue, n.e.e.t. featured one of my favorite interior designers, and flickr friend, calgary-based lori andrews, aka the 10cent designer. here’s a sneak peek at some back issues, which n.e.e.t. keeps up on their site, so you can peruse at your leisure.














baby, it’s cold outside. unwrap a blanket.

it seems to be cold just about everywhere, and what cozier way to keep warm, but to stay inside by the fire with a nice, well-designed blanket. yes, well-designed! have you seen this new blanket online magazine? blanket is a downloadable PDF art, design & photography magazine dedicated to uncovering and sharing emerging artists from around the world.

i’d like you to meet lonny magazine.

so there’s a new design magazine in town! well not exactly in ‘town’ — more like all over the world wide web! meet lonny magazine – a new online publication brought to you by a lot of talented the folks that previously brought us our beloved but sadly demised domino. but lonny magazine is all online – although you can download it, and even print it (but remember the environment). i’ve brought you a sneak peak at a sampling of some of my favorite pages. so far, i think lonny looks stunning (and very much like domino)! i will always miss the tactile feeling of curling up and reading a magazine, but this the next best thing! full of great design, fashion, DIY and gardening tips and ultra fabulous photography.

lonny’s mission statement, they say, “is to reopen the doors of accessible design. By embracing an online platform we provide inspiration at the click of a finger, directly connecting our readers to their favorite products and resources. Our freedom from page limits means that we can share more content in each issue, delivering an intimate look into the way people really live. At Lonny, we value independent thinking and believe not in following trends but rather in making choices that lead to happiness. We believe that good design and affordable design can coexist and that true inspiration can be found in the teeniest of homes or in the grandest of spaces.” i like it! let me know what you all think of Lonny.
