Marie Claire Runway Fall Winter 2013 Issue 1

I stop by my local Barnes and Nobles every month, just to browse through their international fashion selection, and this month, this wonderfully bright oversize magazine jumped out at me. At first glance, I thought that it was Elle Collection, being that both publications are of similar size, if not equal. I picked it up to skim through, (I mean come on, who can resist such a bright cover) and I was very surprised to see that the content is almost exactly like the Elle Collections magazine. I do believe that they are also the same price. With interviews with the heavyweight designers and summaries of the hottest trends, it is definitely a must have to add to your magazine collection, especially if you don't have the time or patience to go through a thick magazine like Vogue Paris Collections. You don't get looks from every show, but you do get your money's worth. If just the cover is any any indicator, we can definitely look forward to many more amazing issues of Marie Claire Runway.

Vogue Paris Collections Fall Winter 2013 Issue 14

First of all let me say that am very confused. It is already hard enough remembering that Spring/Summer collections for the following year are shown beginning in September and the Fall/Winter collections in February. And with the release dates of VPC (Vogue Paris Collections) being in December and May, respectively, that just further muddles the fashion calendar in my head. The cherry on top is the fact that on Issue 14 of VPC, the title reads "Autumn-Winter 2012...but if I remember correctly Issue 12 was for the Autumn-Winter collections.

Being that the season listed on the cover was the same as Issue 12, although I routinely checked online for the new release, it wasn't until yesterday that I saw that it was already out. So now that is is officially out, I will be ordering my two copies as soon as possible. Perfect timing, as this will make a perfect university graduation gift! I was not able to keep up with all of the shows this season, due to my hectic school schedule, but once I am finished with finals, I will be spending most of my free time on youtube, with my newest issue of Vogue Paris Collections in hand.
