Why do I love those fashion magazines so much???

Why do I love those fashion magazines so much?  Let’s face it, they are often just repeated pictures over and over.  How many times have we seen Taylor Momsen and her raccoon eyes in the "Who Got It Right?" page. ( Just to let you know if you are a Gossip Girl fan and love Taylor, don't even go there because Taylor never gets it right.)  Or Reese Witherspoon in her plaid blouse, skinny jeans and black flats? (Loved her ever since those cowgirl boots and short dress in "Sweet Home Alabama") Or probably the most often used photo of Jennifer Aniston in her “relaxed classic style” of jeans, espadrilles and white tee?  ( I found myself tearing out that photo and trying to emulate that look this summer. )  I will even admit to frequenting sites that tell you how to buy the cheaper version of a celebrity’s style, such as Celebrity Style Guide http://www.celebritystyleguide.com.  Yes, and even the site that is properly named “How to Dress like Taylor Swift”  Hey, don’t laugh I am after all both southern and a country music fan.  Well today when I logged onto MSN one of the top links was “10 Style Rules to Try” (below).  So of course, not being able to buy clothes I have to try something else to appease my desire to shop for clothes so I am going to try some of these fashion rules.  Maybe I’ll start with the denim on denim or should I do the biker with chiffon…Let me think about it…Oh well, I am off to revise my Elfster List…
