Year in Review: The Best (and Worst!) Magazine Covers of 2019

It’s been a crazy year for magazines. Glamour ditched print in favor of digital. Porter cut back on issues (but the mag’s set to make a biannual comeback in Spring 2020) and the U.K. edition of Marie Claire shut down completely. There were also lots of staff changes, like Justine Picardie leaving British Harper’s Bazaar and Anne Fulenwider departing American Marie Claire. But 2019 wasn’t all doom...

Cute Gym Clothes to Help You Out of Your Workout Rut

Every year we make the same promise to hit the gym and make more time for exercise, but we soon start making excuses and pushing it off until tomorrow.

That’s why every little bit of encouragement helps — and one thing that...

All the January 2020 Magazine Covers We Loved and Hated

January is often an off month for magazines since they usually don’t go all out when it comes to their covers. But there were some covers that managed to impress. We were treated to several pregnant cover stars, including Ashley Graham and Petra Nemcova, and lots of kids. But the fashion was a bit more hit and miss. There were truly atrocious accessories (we’re talking iridescent beetles), pajamas...
