Austin Glossies

I know, I know, I know - You are a girl of substance and firmly believe superficial identifiers should never supercede the company you keep, convictions you hold, or the life strides you make.

Wisen up, Polly Anna. The world thrives on common dominators. Truth be - a few include the coffee shops you frequent, the boutiques you love, the play lists you rock, and the Austin glossies you read.

So, choose wisely. We wouldn't want the simple minded to confuse you as ....

Ms. Southern Socialite...
Brilliant is the only Austin glossy delivering a triple hit. Offering the complete line up of Texas Style & Substance for socialite within Austin, San Antonio and Dallas. The monthly publication holds a solid Luxury and Style influence with a strong Travel and Leisure section, The Brilliant crew always has the inside to all the fabulous events in Austin and beyond.

Ms. Impressionable...
Austin Magazine is a newcomer to the Austin Lifestyle glossy scene. The bi-monthly magazine contains features including Celebration, Personality, Selections. This publication is said to focus on those people and destinations influencing Austin Style. It screams of Tribeza under tones. Rightfully so, it's a Tribeza publication. Duplicating efforts in the Austin market - I'm confused.

Regardless, The Tribeza crew does an amazing job pulling together another niche lifestyle glossy.

Ms. Popular...
Tribeza is filled with "topics - from the arts to design, dining and style." The monthly publication highlights prominent Austinites and has a strong see and be seen slant. Honestly, anyone and everyone featured always seem a bit too good to be true.

Tribeza's featured articles include Community (event recaps and exposed sections highlighting Austinites), Style & Design (filled with featured articles) and Cuisine (capturing the best places to fine dining).

Ms. "Silver" Austin...
Glossy, an Austin American Statesman publication, will expand to a nine month publication soon enough.

Limited in distribution it's a true secret. Similar to Dallas's Paper City and F!D Luxe, Glossy is high on style. Capturing the ole Austin socialites and families beyond the typical world of fundraising events.

Ms. On The Go...
Austin Monthly seems to be everywhere you are.

It's a well-circulated monthly publication with a strong readership base; Austin Monthly maybe the best page to page read of the lot. It offers the big picture of talk, scene, style, events and dining within Austin.

Ms. Outgoing...
Rare captures the true youthful college feel of Austin. The monthly publication is light on style and high on the fun factor.

The Rare crew does a great job at profiling the true-blue and down-to-earth Austinite.

Ms. Shopalcoholic...
Jewell is full of shopping picks. Lighter on advertisements and editorial, this quarterly publication is a great quick read for those who love to shop without the fluff.
