Do You Rue?

After much debate on what to wear, my suitcase is packed and I'm off to NYC this afternoon.  Our first stop is the launch party of Rue Magazine.  In case you're not familiar with Rue, it's an online design magazine, recently started by some talented bloggers, including editor-in-chief Crystal of Plush Palate and managing editor Alaina of Live Creating Yourself.  Both have guest posted on my blog in the past, and I'm so glad I'll get to meet them tonight at such an exciting event for them and their magazine.  (You can read their previous posts on my blog here and here.)

The first issue premiered last week, and I thought it was really beautifully put together. I also loved how several of their features showcased design bloggers and their homes.  Here are a few of my favorite images:

So, what's your take on online design magazines?  Have you tried them yet?  To be honest, I wasn't so sure at first, but I actually love flipping through them on my laptop and clipping the images that I like the best.  And, having no subscription fee isn't too bad, either.

I'm taking the next couple of days off from blogging so I can actually hang out with some of my favorite bloggers (and Nate, too, of course).  In the meantime, you can catch my guest posts over at Very Fine House and Inglebrook Decor.  Thanks to Brooke and Maureen for having me!
