Top 6 Magazines

In the recent weeks I have been reading a lot - whether it is a book or these magazines I have put netflix aside and given much more focus to things that lie beyond the black screen. I cannot stop reading the following magazines and I just love it. I have gotten so much inspiration as well as information from the titles I will name below. I cannot deny that their aethestics, visuals as well as the graphic content really intrigued me and definitely contributed to me picking them up in the store. However, the most important part is that as I flipped the pages and read on - it just kept getting better, What I love the most about the following titles is their orginality and the transcendence of the norm as well as the brisk way they are curated - they that fresh touch, whilst still sustaining character. 

Suitcase
If my mind could be put into a magazine - Suitcase would be just it. Everything about this lifestyle issue is just idyllic. From tasteful travel inspirations to freshly fashion ideas, this magazine is curated in the most perfect and effortless manner. The image quality as well as edit is ever so pleasing with the colder tones that seem to rise from the pages and transport you into the world that lies beyond them. Another great thing about this mag is it's size - super handy to when you are on the go or travelling - which after reading Suitcase will be very likely to occur. The locations they find and spots they recommend are uncommon but will definitely appeal to the most picky readers. Yet again, a triumph or aesthetic genius and great content in one! Last practical thought: the small format is super handy, especially when travelling or on the go!

Label Magazine

How did I not know about this one before?! A polish magazine focusing on all aspects of design and what lies beyond it. I really like the fact it caters for both english and polish speakers, making itself accessible to a much wider audience. I feel that design has become the talk of more and more publications as the years roll by. I guess this has something to do with our realisation that design is essential and present throughout all aspects of life, to all of us. Even though we are not all first hand designers, a creative need dwells within us all and there is no denying that there is a little part of us that really appreciates design - we are all creators in some way. Each issue of Label focuses upon a central theme, whether its Women in design or a Japan themed issue - each publication follows a nicely laid out scheme of a Designer.  



New Philosopher
I guess since philosophy has always had a sentimental place in my heart and mind - every time I am in the UK, I try to purchase the New Philosopher. Each issue focuses upon one theme and thoroughly explores related theories and ideologies surrounding such an issue. Most recently, I read the issue that focused upon food and its importance in our daily doings. The New Philosopher is a great starting point for those who were never involved with Philosophy as well as a nice way to keep on top of things for those who are keen philosophical explorers. 

Kukbuk
This issue is published solely in polish - with the title that plays with the polish take on the english word Cookbook. This issue is filled with beautifully curated pages focusing on cooking and lifestyle. I really like the big format of this magazine and how well it is put together. The high quality images make you want to cook straight away and experiment within the realm of your kitchen. I love how recipes in this magazine is closely linked with culture.


Usta Magazyn
This si another polish magazine. First of all, I have to say I LOVE the texture of its pages. The materials used to produce this piece have been well thought through and it will be appreciated by aesthetic enthusiasts. What more, the articles are really interesting ranging from various debates about important current topics, lifestyle or simply food.

Paris x Eastpak


Travel is something we all tend to do a lot of these days and as the years go by we always do all we can to make it as comfortable as possible. As I've come to find out, luggage plays a vital role here - for the couple of days or weeks it becomes a part of the "portable home" that you take with you wherever you venture. Packing seems to always be a bit of a big deal as it appears that what you'll take with you - will define your personal style for the time that you'll be away. Since we care so much about what's on the inside of our cases - isn't it time to pay attention to what's happening on  the outside? I believe it is - as whenever I travel, I always look for comfort as well as style among my travel accessories. I like for my luggage to be handy, durable and sizeable, yet aesthetically pleasing. I really don't like to have to choose between the two and I think I've finally found a suitcase that makes this possible! 

Last week during my trip to Paris I had the chance to use Eastpaks' new Tranzshell suitcase from their collaboration with Paul & Joe. The Eastpak x Paul & Joe Voyageur collection features Eastpaks' staple styles with the unique design touch of Paul & Joe. The collection includes many travel accessories ranging from backpacks, larger travel cases, holdalls to even smaller vanity cases or bumbags. Personally, I really loved the leopard/camo collection, especially as both of these are my favourite prints that always make their way into seasonal trends every year. Whether you are travelling by plane, car, the eurostar or simply walking - the case passed the test. What's more after wondering the streets of Paris with this the Tranzshell, it really feels like this collab transformed a suitcase into a stylish fashion accessory that adds a tint of nomadic flavour any outift..see for yourself!
