Victoria Magazine Goes to England

Watch the newsstands on August 31 when the September/October issue of Victoria magazine is launched. The focus is Romantic England, and having looked through the copy which just arrived on my doorstep, you're going to enjoy this trip to the beautiful English countryside.

Featured in this issue is the beautiful Lake District in northwest England (on my bucket list of places to go) described by William Wordsworth as "the loveliest spot that man hath ever found." Not to miss also are the articles on the legacy of Beatrix Potter, and the old world elegance of the Ritz Hotel in London.

I think you'll enjoy being carried away by the incredible photography that Victoria is known for, as well as the commentary on the villages, gardens, shops and tastes of Britain. Look here for a sneak peek.

British Issue of Victoria Magazine

Hot off the presses, so get your copy now, Victoria magazine has just issued its British issue for the fall here in the United States. If you are familiar with Victoria magazine, you know you're in for a treat thumbing through its newest issue with a focus on Britain.

Here's your chance to escape for the afternoon as the magazine takes you on a tour of unique seaside villages

up and down the coastline from Sussex to Kent.

You'll tour Leeds Castle and be introduced to a few more abbeys, cathedrals and castles.

Even more information is found online at their website about one of my favorite shopping areas, Marylebone Village. There you'll find pictures of shop called The Button Queen, where you'd be hard pressed to not find the button you needed

and VV Rouleaux, an incredible ribbon and trim shop

as well as Daunt Books, an original Edwardian travel bookshop where you can immerse yourself in the country of your dreams.

Featured in the magazine and online is La Fromagerie, one of the best cheese shops in England with a small cafe for light meals. I love the animation on their website. Hmmmm... I think another visit to Marylebone village is now on my list and I'll be sure and show you more photos, and tease you with more of the fun shopping and dining you can find there. Until then, grab an issue of Victoria magazine on the newsstands and be transported away.
