I've been a big fan of Vintage Living Magazine - a South Africa based online vintage fashion magazine that excels at delivering sublimely pretty and very inspiring images and articles with each new issue - since they launched at the end of 2010, and usually flip through each digital version with a cup of mint tea in hand, kitty on my lap, and swoon after swoon being heard as I devour each page.
As such I nearly jumped through the roof with happiness when, recently, I was contacted by the fine folks there and asked if I'd like to submit some photos of myself to be considered for publication in an upcoming issue. They opted for one that many of you may recall from last spring, that was shot in an beautiful apple blossom filled orchard in East Kelowna.

This photo is one of my all-time favourites that Tony has taken of me, so I'm especially touched to know that a part of both of us got to be included in such an estimable publication. I'm not sure who the stylish gal is beside me on the same page, but it looks like we share a similar style and would likely hit it off big time.
If you're not already a reader, I definitely recommend you check them out. This beautiful, truly high quality publication is completely free to enjoy online, and is bound to become one of your favourite digital reads, too.
I wholeheartedly appreciate being featured in Vintage Lifestyle Magazine, especially since I just found I out I was a part of this issue last week, on a day when I felt quite ill and truly needed the kind of pick-me-up this wonderful news brought my way.
Thank you, Vintage Lifestyle Magazine, you've made me one exceedingly happy vintage loving gal!
Oh, how wonderful!!! So excited for you. It must have been an amazing surprise to see yourself in such a great magazine.
ReplyDeleteI don't subscribe, but I'll look through the digital version on the web! :)
Congrats, Jessica!!
Congratulations Jessica. That is a really lovely picture.
ReplyDeleteOh wow that is fantastic! I used to be subscribed to the magazine but didn't renew because I'm kind of on a tight budget at the moment. It's a wonderful magazine though and would recommend it! :)

Hi darling ladies,
ReplyDeleteThank you all very much for your wonderfully nice comments! If you've not done so already, I highly suggest that you submit your own vintage outfit photos for possible publication in an upcoming issue of Vintage Lifestyle magazine. It would be such a thrill to see you amongst its pages, too!
