I have been reading British Glamour for two years now. I can't recommend it enough to those who want more fashion and beauty advice and less sickly sweet romantic stuff (i.e., "cute things my boyfriend does" - please!). The British version is is more fashionable than its American counterpart. It's trendier, wittier and gets straight to the point. Plus, it's a great size that makes it easy and fun to carry around!

i happened upon an edition of uk glamour at the bookstore one day. it immediately caught my eye due to it's clever size. it's smidge larger than a tv guide, just the right side to pack in my beach bag or sneak into my briefcase. the writing and articles are also interesting. of course, the spreckling of british humor is divine. as if bridget jones herself were editor-in-chief, the magazine is an absolute delight to read. i especially found the difference in the brits take on sexuality quite enlightening. apparently, we americans take ourselves a bit more seriously. thus, reading uk glamour feels like taking a brief vacation from the daily american ratrace.

British Glamour is great, so is British Vogue. However I find it funny how amazon's subscription rate to glamour is more expensive than just buying it off the newsstand (it's only $4.99/issue on the newstand). Other international magazine subscriptions such as British Vogue and French Vogue, even Nylon from the US is more expensive if you order it off amazon than on the site. Aren't we supposed to be getting better deals here?

From the perfect sizing of this magazine (you can easily carry it with you) to the no nonsense articles, this magazine has been a favourite of mine for years! This magazine is filled with substance, unlike it's American counterpart. British society has so many different (read: accepting) views on things from culture, to nudity, to sensuality and even with relating to others.

I find this at my local bookstore, but there would be no better gift to yourself than a subscription to this so it's delivered to your doorstep each month. Every page of this little morsel is well worth the extra spent on it.
