MAGPIE BY JEN SHOOP
Magpie by Jen Shoop (formerly known as TheFashionMagpie) is a literary lifestyle publication. We exist to inspire and politely provoke women to live thoughtful, well-curated, stylish lives. We lean into the vision that “a woman contains multitudes”: we can be intellectual, style-conscious, highbrow, lowbrow, ambitious, exhausted (and, and, and – !) all at the same time. Ultimately, we aspire to invite self-discovery and encourage women to see their entire selves.
Magpie covers a wide range of lifestyle topics, including serious essays on grief, motherhood, and literature, while also providing fashion and product recommendations. This is a masthead that goes to the hard places – death, gender norms, mom guilt – but also confesses an obsession with fashion.
A woman can be all of those things and is often all of those things at once.
