Finding Oh Comely Magazine was like finding the magazine I dreamt about but didn't think would ever exist. Seriously.
I found issue 2 at Waterloo station when I was buying supplies for a journey home. I saw an extremely pretty cover (above) and, somewhat perplexed that it didn't feature overlayed teeth and acres of orange skin, I immediately grabbed it. Was this a real magazine or something someone had left in the shop?
I opened it- an interview with Emmy the Great, features on Peggy Sue, this all seemed too good to be true; but it was real. As treated my copy like a precious new book, trying not to bend the spine because it was so pretty.
I have just received issue 1 which looks just as fine- with Owen Pallet, city gardening and Sally Potter- which Oh Comely HQ will kindly post out to you; their shop is here. They also sell annual subscriptions and toasters- so you can make tea and toast to read your new favourite publication.
Oh Comely Magazine are very friendly, they tweet, blog and like sharing photos.
There's a full lists of stockists here (My copy was from WH Smith at Waterloo- thank you!).
How exciting. I love when you find something that is just 'so you'. I hope you're doing well and that you had a great summer! xo
ReplyDeleteHow very lovely. Did you have a look at their illustrations? I love this one: http://www.ohcomely.co.uk/illus/plastiscines.php

ReplyDeleteIsnt it nice to find something that you love. The pic is wonderful..
ReplyDeleteOh I love this magazine- their stockists say WH SMith and everytime I'm in I look for it but unfortunately they never have it! :( Friend has a subscription though and it's super wonderful!
ReplyDeleteYou know, I am actually getting quite fond of The Stylist magazine as well - that freebie that pops up once a week. Think it must come out yesterday somewhere as found a copy of it on the tube. And now this - it looks nice and original. Will follow the link with interest - cheers!
ReplyDeleteThat is a gorgeous looking magazine - glad you found it!
ReplyDeletep.s. Yes the Hermes box is a lovely site and you have the shoes- how cool!
Daily- hello! you're back!
ReplyDeleteMM- yes, very lovely, the whole thing is
SW and Turquoise- it's lovely, try it if you find it
Filipa- this is bad news- I have seen it a few times- they will post it to you for not very much if you can't source it
Jayne- me too, it is bizarrely good, I can never get one of the little blighers but i read it online
Hi CnC- :-)
Just going blog-to-blog from Miranda at Skirmish of Wit, and saw this - very exciting, as I'm friends with the girl who co-set it up! Yet to see a copy, though... she described it as a woman's magazine, which put me off a little (being a man and all) but it sounds as though I might quite like it anyway...
ReplyDeleteHi StuckInABook- wow that IS cool. No I think men could enjoy it perfectly well! it's maybe assumed more women will read it but it's certainly not a women's magazine in the traditional sense at all
ReplyDeleteAhhh this magazine looks amazing! Gonna have to pick up a copy :)
