I’ve had the honor to work with a talented team on the January issue, filled with new features, articles, and stunning photography. We hope you enjoy the magazine’s spirit, inspired by bright optimism and a bit of playfulness. Diving into Elegant Island Living’s new look and logo to celebrate—and elevate—lifestyle, culture, and community has been a joyful whirlwind.
Magazines are back and trending —even among the younger set.
Nostalgia for the 70s, 80s, 90s, and aughts is on the rise.
Some friends of ours recently traveled to Sweden and stayed in a super chic hotel, filled with piles and piles of magazines. Yes, magazines. Guests plop down in the lobby like we did “in the day” for hours, mesmerized by glossy pics & words on paper.
Marvel at Market Movers Ann Harrell and Susan Imhoff. Sit down with Burch Barger, the new owner of Righton Books and conservation tour de force in Biz Buzz. Get comfy with gorgeous Kam Throckmorton in our Style section.
Plan some travel with our new section, Off Island, where we explore Bordeaux, wine capitol of the world. And follow us on social for more articles and behind-the-scenes takes of shoots and interviews.
So, sit back and turn these colorful pages. Enjoy a snapshot of January “Living” on this lovely island, and surrounds, we call home.
