When it comes to magazines, it's fair to say that my mom and I are like oil and water. She's Better Homes and Gardens, I'm Domino. Good Housekeeping vs. Glamour. Ladies Home Journal vs. Vogue. So over the past year or so, she's been clipping me out pages from various issues of Country Living. "They're featuring a lot more retro and vintage ideas," she'd say. "I think you'd like it." The pages she's saved for me – that's a few above and below – are definitely less country, more quirky-cute. But it wasn't enough to make me a subscriber. Until now.
It was announced earlier this month that the inimitable Sarah Gray Miller, most recently the editor of the (now defunct) O at Home and former editor-in-chief of my favoritest magazine of all time, the undeniably cool (and, um, also now defunct) Budget Living (whose back issues I have stockpiled at home), is taking over the helm of Country Living. I'm predicting a considerable change in the magazine's content – after all, when even Oprah (thanks to her sidekick Nate Berkus) is railing against "country" style, you know death is near. You win, mom! Sign me up.

My mum bought me a subscription to better homes and gardens a few fews ago for christmas just before i moved out of home and she never changed the mailing address, so basically she was buying her slef a present!But seriosly, some home mags have the best things in them, such good ideas and always beautiful photoshoots.

I loved Budget Living! I would haunt the magazine racks at my library for whatever I could find.
I still really miss Domino Magazine, though, my favorite of all time. Sigh.
Cute photos...Domino is really good, but my mum has had me hooked on Architectural Digest, Veranda, & Southern Accents from day one =]
Hey from Singapore! (: I've been reading your blog since forever. You used to do tons of alternations and tailored dresses back here and I was wondering who your excellent tailor is, or if you know any tailors in Singapore you can recommend? (I'm looking to get my prom dress tailored!) It would be great help! Thanks and stay super!

I'm a modernist at heart, but one can never go wrong with a vintage bike.
love these images!!!
Hi to Lingxiu: My tailor in Singapore for basic alterations was in Far East Plaza, right down the little aisle from Mohan's. I think it was called Season's? They were pretty good and inexpensive. You might also check with stores that stock vintage, like Deja New or Swirl -- I'm pretty sure both have tailors they trust and could recommend!
Hi to everyone else too!
I want the bike bad!
Ooh! Stacks of fabric! I dream of stacks of fabric...
I would love for you to contribute to the new Truant travel blog, it is launches at the beginning of the year and we looking for great bloggers like yourself. Let me know if you ever interested, cheers!
Love the bike, it's actually quite similar to what I used to have when living in Cambodia.
Anyway, I wanted to show ms. spinach these fantastic hair/head decorations from Thelma design:
