Today I received a thoughtful gift from fellow blogger Anh-Minh Le who is now the co-founder and Editor In Chief of Anthology magazine (yay!). What did she send? A copy of the premiere issue of Anthology for Fall. It's lovely!

The magazine encourages, "Living With Substance & Style", words I agree with 100% -- especially the "substance" part as good style is nice but being a person with substance, now that is what seals the deal for me when it comes to selecting friends and when it comes to what I read -- I want to feel as though I'm getting something for my money because let's face it, there's a lot of information out there. In order for me to pay for what I could normally get for free online, it has to have substance. Anthology looks as though I'm going to get that and I can't wait to dig in and read it. I did have a look at the images and they are quite dreamy...

Thank you Anh-Minh for sending me a copy way over here in Germany. You did a great job, both you and your creative director, Meg Matteo Ilasco. I wish you both the best of luck with your publication going forward and I will definitely order your next issue. Bravo, ladies!
