Reading on the Road • Along with billions of other fashion types, we jetted off to Vegas today to attend a whole slate of trade shows.  (Although we aren’t one of those trend-slave fashion obsessives:  we refuse to get that bangs/pageboy hybrid haircut and we have yet to buy a single pair of leggings, though we do have a hankering for navy nail polish.)  Anyway, since our flight was delayed nearly two hours and our attention was only halfway held by BlackBook (every article in the issue is only, like, one page long!), we took a look at what fashion magazines everyone else was reading.  At our gate, we spotted four Lucky readers, a lone Cosmopolitan devotee, and one collagen-lipped fedora-wearing brave soul toting the mammoth issue of Vogue.  And even that slave to fashion gave up on Ms. Wintour:  she left the issue on the plane. 

What magazine will you be taking on your late-summer travels?  Do you opt for books instead?  Or do you leave the reading material at home?  After hours of delays and lugging our tote through a lengthy taxi line, we almost wish we’d left all the paper on our desk.

British Glamour and ESSENCE. Although, I want to find a way of packing V (but it's too big).

I tend to take fluffy magazines on planes as I'm usually tired and changing time zones. So I usually leave the books at home. My favorite mags to read on the plane are Lucky (the one I usually get), InStyle, or Elle. If I have access to a British Glamour, though, I get that.

I'm with Jen, I love easy-to-digest, easy-on-the-eyes mags that I can leave on the plane. I'll also bring back issues of the New Yorker but tend to skim rather than read and if I'm traveling overseas I indulge and buy Tatler.
