Welcome to Page Turners!

Annie, a tiny Kim Kardashian, and Jenn

Shhh! Don’t tell our old English teachers, but sometimes we fashion writers can’t imagine anything better than a magazine with little text and lots of pictures. Annie and I are especially guilty of this, which we attribute to our sitting so tantalizingly close to the ModCloth office bookshelves. Those shelves are filled with glossies of every size and subject, from National Geographic to Glamour, and act as some of our favorite sources for fashion inspiration.

Sure, Annie and I may not be ones to scale mountains or buy thousand-dollar designer purses, but we see those photos — fashion editorials especially — as inspiration, not aspiration. We love how each turn of the page draws us into new ways of viewing the world around us and the clothes in it, and how our minds whirl with outfit possibilities after seeing an amazing editorial. So after years of hoarding editorial images on our desks and computer desktops, Annie and I want to share all our favorite magazine images with you on this blog.

So look out for our new biweekly column, Page Turners, starting tomorrow! (Annie will be taking on grandma-chic!)

About Jenn

Jenn's first career aspiration was to be a dinosaur. After her kindergarten teacher informed her that couldn't happen, she decided she would be the next best thing: a writer. Aside from writing, Jenn loves chambray shirts, all cacti, and good typography.

    My favorite magazine is, for sure, Lucky. I can see two of their ‘Lu’s, and I think a ‘k’ (on the far, far right), so I’ll be looking forward to seeing their stuff. I think some ModCloth stuff has been in there before, too!

    This works out perfectly because I am too cheap to buy anything, so the pretty magazine pictures will come to me!

    Thanks Page Turners!!!!

    I have a serious magazine addiction. This will only feed it. Fantastic <3.

    Ooh! I’m so excited for this.

    There is no shame in favoring glossy pictures over text. I have a journalism degree and I heartily concur.

    I love magazines (both prestigious, high-fashion editorials AND trashy mags). Books are wonderful, but sometimes I need to take a break from the small print and feast my eye on some interesting visuals. I’m glad that now I can go to ModCloth for that!
