The new issue of Style Sample magazine comes out on July 6th! Expect to see even more of your favorite bloggers, the best shopping, fashion photography and illustration, and great advice about making your blog even better.

Here’s a sneak peek at the cover:

We’re also trying something a little different: in addition to the regularly scheduled content in each issue (which will always be a part of the free online magazine), there will be additional premium content in the print edition. The premium content delves deeper into one particular area of style, focusing on careers in the fashion industry and delivering useful, actionable advice from professionals about how to get your foot in the door.

Ever thought about becoming a personal stylist?

The premium content in the upcoming issue focuses on personal styling, and we’ve been hard at work conducting research and interviewing professional personal stylists in different cities around the world, from LA to New York to London to Paris.

Everyone we talked to was surprisingly candid, and dished about everything from how they got started (there’s nothing wrong with starting with your sister’s hairdresser’s cousin!) to how they set up their business. If you’re interested in styling, you don’t want to miss this feature!

We can’t wait to share this issue with you, so be sure to follow us so you’re the first to know when it’s ready!
