There’s something indulgent about taking time out of a busy day and leafing through page after page of super luxe fashion and perfect models, but i just couldn’t hold back my excitement this morning. Finally my delivery of the fashion bible has arrived. I’ve got three little words for you, VOGUE SEPTEMBER ISSUE!

I’m yet to give it the full attention it deserves, but it seems that the glossiest of all publications is taking note of the change in circumstances of its readers by embracing a style shift from indulgent wear once and never again pieces, to ‘minimal chic’ investment pieces that remain a wardrobe staple.

Glamour is another fashion glossy that seems to be appealing to our sense of nostalgia, having produced a special September edition of their magazine which focuses on regional pride. Each edition  features Katy Perry on the cover with the name of the particular region emblazoned on her t-shirt and takes a look at up-and-coming cultural talent from the region in addition to providing tailored shopping and leisure advice.

The weather may be turning a depressing shade of grey, but  at least I’m safe in the knowledge that this September I can indulge in all things glamourous in Manchester (the centre of the universe, don’t you know) and justify lusting after the beautiful pieces in Vogue. They are investments, not expensive but priceless!
