Out of touch


Since I've been back home in Brighton over the last three weeks over my Easter break, it really feels like I have been out of touch with most things being away from central London. This is amplified by the fact that I can not easily get my hands on a copy of the free weekly Fashion, Travel and Beauty magazine the Stylist.

For myself the Stylist is number one on my magazine pile, I adore the editorial mix and the fact that despite being  free, they produce original, well-written, thought provoking content and stunning visuals which is incredibly refreshing in a industry where a lot of the magazines are similar. In general magazine's are my passion so much so that I chose to study them for my degree, however I have become a particularly loyal fan of the Stylist.

Today, is the first day I've had a hard copy for weeks, which I managed to track down while shopping in French Connection. I prefer to get my hands on printed paper version of the magazine as it's pretty and mine to keep! The Stylist launched in October last year and is given out free each week normally on a Tuesday in Birmingham, Leeds, Brighton and Glasgow, it is available each week to read online here .

After speaking to Brightonian friend who informed me they hand copies out at Brighton station. I will be searching once again tomorrow hopefully for the last time for a while, before going back to London at the end of this week where it shouldn't be as hard to find a copy!

Before the end of last term at Uni one of our guest lectures was the Editor Lisa Smosarski, who seemed a friendly, knowledgeable person and she had previously also studied at the London College of Communication which gives hope to those who graduate from LCC that we may get exactly where we want to be with a lot of  persistence, motivation and dedication.

While I've had an amazing time in Brighton over Easter and have had the chance to see my friends and family loads and even go to the beach.  Now it is time for me to get back to business!
