Grazia Magazine

I read it religiously for about a year - I never missed an issue - but then for three issues in a row, there was nothing in but fashion. I know it's heavily biased towards fashion and that's fair enough - but there was nothing else to balance it out. I think there was one other "real life" story and little else. At which point I decided I would be better off buying a book once a month than spending the best part of £8 a month reading about stuff I can never afford.

I loved the After Him column written by Samantha Warwick and after that finished, to be honest, I felt it went downhill a bit.

Cheers, that is useful!

I probably read it twice a month. It's ok, there's way too much catwalk/high end fashion in it for me (I hate reading about stuff I can't afford ?) but I quite like their high street fashion coverage.

Other features I like are the street fashion pics where they photograph 'real people', Mary Portas' problem page, the odd bit of celeb gossip and there's usually an interesting real life story.

Whispers Foo it's only published twice a month I think?

Its a weekly and I buy it every week. It is heavy on the fashion side but I love all that shallow stuff!

I was really hungover recently and bought it on the way to work as I did every Wednesday (Look is on Tuesday) and it really pished me off. I went into work ranting about it being a ridiculous magazine and that I was never going to buy it again. I don't know if was the hangover that made it so ridiculous or what it is that pished me off so badly about it - all I know is that I now hate it. ? Helpful?

Chook

Very helpful and obviously your opinion is the best!!

I am being conned anyway if it is weekly why are they only offering me 2 copies a month pah they can return my cash and I shall subscribe to another magazine....now shall I post asking which one ?!

I agree completely with CBH. I too used to read it every week but recently it's not been nearly as good as it used to be, so I've stopped buying it.

I had a sub to first magazine, but I was obviously the only one as that stopped too and they sent me Grazia, I continued with it, then they called me and offered mesome freebies if I carried on, so I did but I have recently cancelled it, I wasn't reading it at all, it became so high fashion basedI justwasn't interested, so no I would not recommend it!
