ELIZA

For those of you who know me, you know that I hate the idea of blogging, myspace, facebook and the like. This would explain the lack of posts as of late. The only reason I started this whole blog nonsense was out of love for my amazing husband who insisted that we have one. Funny thing is...I doubt he will ever know I even posted this. That is how often he has even visited the blog on his own accord. I love you Brandon! Anyway...despite my disdain for blogging, I had to post the following suggestion:
READ ELIZA!
It is a relatively new and super hip magazine. It has incredible photography and some amazing writers including the fabulous Gretta Whalen. I could keep talking it up but I think you need to check it out for yourself at the following website...
http://www.elizamagazine.com/
Below is a description of what you might expect to find in ELIZA. So read on. Piper and Starc...this post is especially for you. You are two of the most fashion savvy people I know.


ELIZA Magazine is created for women who want to be stylish, sexy, and engaged in the world while retaining high standards in dress, entertainment, and lifestyle. In a media culture that frequently objectifies and commercializes women and their bodies, ELIZA strives to provide an alternative to the current mainstream media that emphasizes sex and skin in order to push products or sell magazines.
ELIZA magazine brings you "Fashion without Fiction." We are realistic about everyday women's price points, showcasing pieces that are worth the big price tags and discovering deals at your local department stores that are just as hip. We are realistic about women's bodies: we don't retouch bodies, and we mix real women and professional models. We are realistic about women's interests, featuring fashion and beauty information, current issues, and real life problem solving, all while keeping perspective on what's really important in life.
Each issue provides exciting and informative features in Fashion, Beauty, Health, Entertainment and Lifestyle. Some of our staple articles include: History Repeats Itself—fashion icons like Audrey Hepburn and Jackie O. and how their style translates today. Fit to Be Tried—everyday women modeling classics they love. Saving the World One Issue at a Time—highlighting various social causes and how to get involved. Guys Guide—mini-tutorials on what matters to men and why we should know about it. The Least You Should Know—useful information about everything from changing a tire to your personal finances. Plus health tips, entertainment picks, and breathtaking fashion stories by ELIZA's innovative team.
The ELIZA reader is educated, creative, fashion-conscious, and on the hunt for clothes to feel comfortable in. We continue to pick up the scent of fashion and modesty and deliver it to your door season after season.
