First off, this is a really random post about magazines which I bought last month and recently. Realised I bought lots of mags last month coz of the sale at Kinokuniya so decided to take a pic of some of the mags I got. If you're not into magazines, er, read the other posts below? Haha..

1) Vivi (Taiwan) July 2010 - The Japanese edition was sold out when I went to the store so I settled for the Taiwan edition which I think is essentially a compressed but similar version to the Japanese one. The magazine is still in its wrapper, which obviously means I haven't read it yet. The Japanese edition of this mag comes out like 2 months ahead of time, just like Vogue Nippon. OMG totally backdated.
2) Vogue Nippon July 2010 - I think this is my first physical copy of Vogue Nippon.
3) Elle Girl Korea June 2010 - Was looking for Vogue Korea but I don't think they sell that in Kino. Either that or I was late again. Saw Teen Vogue Korea as well but the cover and cover story was a reprint of the issue of Teen Vogue US with Karlie Kloss which I already saw before. Plus it was kinda wordy. And I don't read Korean. Elle Girl was way more eye-catching.
4) Elle Singapore August 2010 - Picked this up at the supermarket yesterday.

5) Vogue Italia December 2009 - This was the tweetpic-themed issue photographed by Steven Meisel. Saw a copy at Bras Brasah at less than half e price so decided to get it, although I've already seen most of the editorials in that issue (It is an old issue after all).
6) Industrie #1 - Anna Wintour as the covergirl. Did a quick browse through at Kino, looked really interesting with many interviews with influential people in fashion. Always interesting to read what goes on in the mind of those people. When I saw this at Kino, I was kinda surprised. Actually, I was surprised in general at the huge range of fashion mags they stock in store besides the usuals. Although it might be coz previously I hardly noticed the section which stocked all the indie/lesser known mags. Another unread mag. Gosh, need to read/browse faster!
7) Russh June/July 2010 - I've only came across this Aussie magazine recently when I saw editorials from the mag. I couldn't find it at Kino, so I got my friend Mel to buy it for me on her trip to Australia. Just got it a couple of weeks ago and I just finished it. I don't know if it's because I'm reading this mag for the first time, but I really like it and all the write-ups inside.
This was the image that made me go WOW and promptly checked out which magazine it was from.
The complete editorial is pretty cool if you've seen it. And yes, this was from Russh.
Whew, that was such a long post. Maybe I'll do it again the next time I go on a magazine spree! Haha. For the time being, hope you guys have a happy weekend ahead!=)

Excellent post, and excellent choices. Got to love blogging, but a real paper magazine is SO much better.
