Every time I get Southern Lady, it's like springtime any part of the year. The photographs are so beautiful! It includes articles on decorating, food, fashion and stories of southern women and just a general positive appreciation of life in general. No horoscopes, male bashing, scantily clad models or errant life advice - just uplifting articles and photographs.

My absolute favorite part of the magazine are the articles about women who are entrepreneurs and fortunately, there are at least two articles like that in EVERY issue. I get so excited about that part of the magazine. If they ever drop those type articles, I will drop the magazine. But I don't think they will because I think those women make the magazine special and set it apart... especially because the articles do not mention any of the financial gain of the women, just their love of doing what they do.

It is so wonderful and inspiring to read about others who got creative and decided to do something for others, their families and themselves. I think the magazine's premise is not about being from the south, but is about enjoying the beauty and joy of life that can be found in the south.

2009 Update: It's almost Thanksgiving and I just got the holiday issue. I don't know what has happened over the past two or three years, but the quality of this magazine has gone down since I first wrote the review. You will probably still enjoy it, but I don't feel it is worth the price anymore. It seems to have a lot more ads and a lot less articles and photos of substance. I attribute this to the publisher adding more magazine titles in which they expound on certain themes that used to abound in their magazines a few years ago such as: Tea Time and Sandra Lee Homemade among others. I used to collect this magazine and loan them out to friends as they contained a wealth of treasure, but the past year especially has been pretty ho-hum.

This is the best magazine on the market!!!!!!!!!! It is soothing, relaxing, inspiring,useful, decorative,helpful, and an all round good happy magazine. Everyone that I know that looks at it is impressed with it and can hardly put it down. The recipes are good. Even the ads are good. It is one that you don't want to throw away but keep forever. It is inspiring in that it gives you ideas for parties, friendships, home, food, and everyday living. It is a ladies magazine to the fullest. I wait and wait for the next one to come and then in the meantime, I read the old magazines I have.

Ephemeral visions of Royal Albert pink rose-patterned teacups, antique Spode teapots, vintage lace, and antiquarian books; snippets from my past four trips to England and France appear fresh in my mind with each issue I receive in the mail. Catering to the feminine lady who dances to a softer beat; who enjoys being a woman and all that that entails, this magazine is a respite of pure bliss. I often save my still-unopened newest issue for over a week until I can find that perfect little island of quiet time and alone-ness.....perhaps with a silver tea tray, a gathering of storm clouds outside the French door, a pretty needlepoint pillow, delectable candles on my pretty table. "Southern Lady" is a jewel, a rare find today.

Someone got me this as a gift. At first I tossed it aside but later on a cold, rainy day I picked it up again and was enchanted. This magazine is truly like taking a mini vacation. Every single article is either restful or inspirational. It's a little bit of charm and grace in a world that is frequently neither.

this is a "lovely" magazine! Can't wait to read it each month. It slows me down and makes me want to dream a little!

My stepmother gave me a gift subscription to this magazine, and I have since done the same for my friends. It is a wonderful magazine that covers a variety of topics and also various races of Southern ladies. It has beautiful photographs and ideas and wonderful recipes. Once you receive it, you won't want to discontinue the subscription!

Beautiful presentation, wonderful substance! I first received this as a gift, the Holiday Issue '07. Great gift ideas, including those you can mail-away for (for those of us who live away from home.) Wonderful, delicious recipes (every one I tried was a hit!), tips on decorating and presentation that are absolutely flawless - endless tips from a varying source of experts - I hope I always have a subscription to this magazine! Way better even than a Martha Stewart Publication!

Women's magazines don't get better than this. I consider myself a southern lady who lives in the Northwest. When I sit for a few moments with this beautiful publication, I feel right at home and I go back, emotionally, to my roots. It is gorgeous in every way and so soothing. I highly recommend it for all who appreciate grace, beauty, and southern hospitality.

Since I am a Southern Lady , I really relate to this magazine. I love it.
