Express your style!
Report by Rebecca Langtry

TODAY'S trends are an important part of nearly every girls daily life because its essential that we feel confident with our outfit and look as good as we feel. So following trends that you adore and that show off your personality is key! It may not be Vogue you're reading, but if you are a fashionista you will always be equipped with your favourite magazine that follows your best loved celebs and your choice of style. 'Company' magazine appeals to everyday people because that is where they get the majority of the newest trends from - your everyday people you seen on your local streets. Blogs are also a great way of finding quirky styles and are great for sharing tips, trading clothes and creating your own little photo shoots to accompany fashion tips. Company magazine is ideal if you prefer to be casual and comfortable and accessorize to the max. The monthly magazine features pages after pages of 'street girl' columns that show off our street cred and influence our image, encouraging us to desire the clothes they wear. Street girl columns enable us to see the different colours that are worn and what they are matched with from people your own age which gives you a wider spectrum of what fellow teens are wearing, not just your friends in your area or college. Or if you prefer high end fashion, 'Glamour' and 'Cosmopolitan' are for us that love to desire gorgeous gowns and heels worn on the red carpet or London Fashion Week. With gorgeous gals like Nicole Scherzinger on the glossy cover in a hot pink dress its hard not to be drawn in to sit and flick the pages of 'Stylists' secrets or the beauty tips on how to get 'model girl skin'. Cosmo and Glamour consist of page after page of editorials, catwalk reviews, designer adverts, perfume samples and photo shoots. Its hard not to recognise these magazine are more about celebrity fashion, designers new collections and the new latest Hollywood actors. Although Company magazine does have its glamorous editorial with amazing hair and make up and styling outfits that us teenagers can wear to parties and occasions its hard to find that one special magazine that includes everything you want to read about whether its weekly or monthly, that's why these 3 magazines, Company, Glamour and Cosmopolitan all appeal to a variety of ages and guarantee to please some of expectations of fashion magazines.
