Foam and C - My 2 New Fave Mags

Believe me, I read them all - Vogue, Bazaar, Elle, In Style - but lately to get my fashion fix, I've been devouring the pages of C Magazine and Foam. Both mags are fairly new and mainly showcase the West Coast fashion scene, but it's so refreshing to open these after seeing one too many avante garde spreads in Vogue or boring red carpet pix in In Style. C Magazine focuses on the looks, people, and places that define California's style and its role as the creative center of the country (or at least the other creative center after NYC!) The magazine has beautiful photography, great styling, and little fashion tidbits on emerging designers, hotspots, products, and trends on the left coast. Foam is a cross between a surfer girl's magazine and Jane magazine - loaded with affordable fashion for gals with an active lifestyle, and all things relating to Fashion, Ocean, Art, and Music. There may be one too many Roxy ads in there, but the articles are interesting for a girl who loves the ocean, and the fashion spreads epitomize the beach lifestyle fantasy - 'Girl Meets Beach' was their maiden issue. So if you're getting a little tired of the usual suspects on the news stands, check out these two new mags - Foam's Summer issue, 'Surf, Love, & Rock n' Roll' and C Magazine's July issue with a radiant Ashley Judd on the cover are on stands now!
