Harper's Bazaar UK

Why have I never picked up this magazine before?! (Maybe because it is from the UK...) It has been awhile since a cover has stopped me in my tracks. Good old Gwen gets me every time, but this photograph of her is absolutely drop-dead. And to my surprise, the contents and images inside the March 2011 issue were just as visually stimulating and inspiring. Packed with vivid colors, flawless photography, and great layout designs, this one is pure eye candy in a glossy paper form.

Some highlights, although there really are too many to choose from:

Big Bear Snow Adventure

Had an absolutely incredible time getting snowed in this weekend in Big Bear. Great company, amazing home-cooked meals (my bf is the sh&#), and lots of much needed R + R. Definitely plan on making this an annual experience.

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend...
