Half of My Family is from the South
I have or had aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents strewn all throughout the South. My dad is from Texas. For a New Englander like me that has always been quite a dichotomy. I have traveled and spent time in all 13 Southern states. Ever since grade school we were taught there were 13 Southern states based on those states that seceded from the Union during the Civil War. I am not sure what exactly constitutes Southern State theses days!
Yes, I'm partial...I'm from the SOUTH!
So, you want to know where to stay, what to see, what to eat, how to get there, when to come, and who's who in the old South??? Look no further than the pages of "Southern Living," a superb look at everything new and old about the region.
Southern Living No Longer "Southern"
As a member of a Southern family who treasured this magazine, it is with a heavy heart and a sense of loss that I have decided not to renew my subscription this year.Yes, I've always given the brides in our family a subscription as a gift, and waited eagerly for my issue to come in the mail.But those days are past.Southern Living Magazine has been offered to all states for some time now, and I believe this has caused the editors to try to appeal to a broader readership.This, in turn, has changed the recipe section into something one can find in any other magazine.Honestly, I do love all sorts of different cuisines, but in a magazine called "Southern Living", I expect to find wonderful and traditional Southern recipes!This magazine needs to go back to it's roots.From now on, I'll be giving new brides a subscription to Southern Lady Magazine, and that's what I'll be reading myself!I will miss the Christmas book, though. ...

Plenty of European, Not Much Southern
Anyone who thinks this is representative of "Southern", isdefinitely not Southern. I found the flavor of the magazine to be strictly European. The two biggest points of contention were the number of advertisements and the coverage of overblown, ostentatious European decor. There are no real Southern influences on any of the interior pictorials shown. You can find a number of beautiful, understated Southern homes that have stayed true to their original decor- they are out there- just not in this particular magazine.

comfort and elegance
This is a lovely magazine, with lots of articles on Southern style and luxurious living. Every issue has "Accents", showing what is new and trendy and where to buy it; "Calendar", for events and exhibitions worth seeing, and "Educated Eye", with advice on what to look for to evaluate antique furniture, etc. if you are a serious collector. the best decorating magazine!
I subscribe to all of the home and garden magazines and Southern Accents is the best, bar none.The houses featured are absolutely dreamy--the photography is gorgeous--and while the magazine doesn't offer how-to decorating ideas, there is so much inspiration.I find it to be intelligently written...which is rare in a decorating magazine. The articles on antiques are particularly informative.This magazine will appeal to anyone who is interested in beautiful, classic design--whether or not you live in the South! ... Read more
