#feministfriday episode 485 | Reading magazines

Good morning everyone,

I hope you are enjoying this time of year as much as I am. I hope you also have the week off between Christmas and new year, but even if you don't, I hope you are enjoying the relatively low expectations placed upon you at this time of year. Today I thought it would be fun to read some magazines from 100 years ago together.

Here's Harper's Bazaar with the latest cold hands/warm heart fashions:

Also how to look absolutely lovely while skiing or skating. As you might know I find skiing horrifying, but perhaps would have liked it better if I got to look like this:

Let's move onto Vogue now, and their glimpses of fashionable New York:

The illustration style of 1920s magazines is so delightful. Here's how stylish women dress at the races:

Finally, here's a word you don't see all that much in the modern age: pharaonic. It was back in a big way in 1923!

The renaissance of pharaonic furniture

Love,

Alex.
