Is your magazine clutter dwindling?
A newish trend has impacted our magazine stacks. Call them our latest obsession. We love online lifestyle magazines! Sure, you can’t cut out the pages (or hoard them by your bedside), but if you’re familiar with sites like Pinterest and FoodGawker — in a digital way, you can.
Flip (click) through each page, and with the expertly intuitive design of online magazines like Matchbook, clicking on an item will send you directly to a page to buy said product. It sounds like a catalog (aren’t most magazines?), but the better online lifestyle magazines offer content that’s well written and relevant in addition to must-have it items. The content in some of the higher profile online lifestyle magazines may range from interviews with top designers, authors, fascinating travel destinations, and the best new restaurants. Think less top 5 ways to get a man, and more of a focus on style and substance.
Go ahead, and share in our latest addiction with these online style files. Here are a few of our current faves.

Enjoy!
