Oh Comely

A couple of weeks back I went to visit my lovely friend Jessie and she introduced me to this wonderful new publication called Oh Comely. It's incredible. It's so quirky and interesting and, unlike most £4 magazines, is not full of adverts and the same old same old articles about how to dress to impress, bag the guy, have great sex and lose weight. I am SO bored of reading those things, but one needs something to waste away a good long train journey. I love how beautiful the layout is and how sumptuous and nostalgic the photos are. I love the random articles on the history of biscuits and rubbers, new artists, DIY make your own shoes and REAL people stories that don't make you gag or cringe. I felt like I'd actually learnt something new, albeit somewhat useless, but useless information makes for great conversation, non?! After flicking through Jessie's Summer 2011 issue, we both bagged ourselves the latest Oh Comely on the way to the station and I read it all the way home. Tee hee. Here's the website if you're not yet yet convinced of its greatness.

  5. That's a good find! I love reading magazines too but get tired of the same ridiculous articles. Also the photos are adorable. :)
