 don't waste your money August 31, 2008
I chose this mag because it was on offer. It is full of adverts and I am sure that it is aimed at high society, not amazon shoppers. The people who read this won't even know what Amazon is unless their daddy own it.
If I do like something in the fashion pages, it may be a bracelet that costs $15,000. - buy something more readable.
 A pleasant read August 30, 2008
I've not seen the most recent issues, so perhaps there is more advertising than there used to be. However, I like T&C. It has a touch of class, and it is aimed at adults, not kids, adults who "have arrived," as the saying goes. Money is not the key to "arriving;" self assurance, knowledge, and capability are. This magazine gives me ideas. I can't buy the things in it, but I can try new combinations of what I do own, use old things in new ways and experiment. I get an idea of what is in fashion in case I need to look au courant for some occasion. T&C is a tool in the same way Vogue or another fashion magazine is. I believe that it isn't necesary to be wealthy in order to look like a million. I also have my own personal saying that I'm never really in fashion, but I always have style - - my own style.
 Nothing appealing at all August 27, 2008

I somehow got this subscription for free and it's worth every penny. It is so pretentious it's ridiculous. The subtitle of the magazine should be "The advertising bible for extremely overpriced products." The articles are nothing more than endorsements; not a hint of criticism, critique or bad words to be found. When they attempt to write an article from a "common folk" perspective, it is obvious. The subject matter is pure fluff and fantasy and serves nothing more than a backdrop for the ads.
Entertaining get-away in a magazine June 16, 2008
I enjoy reading a few features in this magazines. I also enjoy seeing the fashion. Mostly I just like to see how people live in other parts of the country.
 Avoid the Temptation to Presume Elitism ! August 12, 2007
8 out of 9 found this review helpful
OK it's pretty easy to presume this magazine has little appeal for the average person when the advertising focus is on $$$$ handbags and $$$$$ jewelry. But when you look at the long publishing history of Town and Country, you realize that it's not only the rich and famous that are reading it. There are simply not that many of the elite to keep this mag going. So what's in it for the average Jane? First, the writing is excellent. Reviews on anything from books, cosmetics to shoes are specific and dependable. Additionally it's written to ADULTS without an unwelcome emphasis on which starlet of the minute is going to crash next. Finally--and just for fun--the horoscope column is one of the best in any of the women's magazines out there. So dabble your toes in the inflatible kiddie pool in the back yard, add a sprig of fresh mint to your plastic tumbler of ice tea and let your imagination roam free,
