I never read women's magazines like Cosmo or In Style (which you would know with one look at me). And I've never enjoyed a trashy mag like People or Us Weekly (except when JFK Jr. got married, because I am a red-blooded American woman).
But have you ever ever browsed the Ballard Designs home decor catalog? Home catalogs are my trashy magazines. My browsing in couture is short-ciruited by Eddie Bauer and LL Bean, but I do love an issue of Southern Living, Better Homes and Gardens, and a special French Country issue when I can find one. An Ethan Allen catalog catalog gives me butterflies in my stomach.
Ballard Design is a lovely catalog, along the price range of Pottery Barn, and they are having a Sweepstakes right now. Take their 6 question design quiz and give them your email address, and you will be entered to win a $10,000 shopping spree.
