Gunpowder Magazine

  Every so often you stumble on a website that completely blows you away, and such is the case with Gunpowder Magazine. Founded earlier this year, Gunpowder is an online lifestyle magazine that caters to the fashionable, knowledgeable and powerful, with an emphasis on culture, design, fashion, gastronomy, motoring, showbiz and travel. On the pages of this hallowed publication, readers will find style and substance in equal measures, with its iconic hot-pink and acid-green design backed up by editorial that is inspired, accurate and always ahead of the curve.

  The best thing about this exciting new online publication, however, is that it's formatted in an easy-to-read blog format, with the latest articles always at the top of the page. Articles are kept brief and to the point, with stunning photography to back each one up. There's also a features section for those interested in the lengthy articles you'd expect from a print publication, with travel and restaurant reviews galore.

  Aside from editorials, there's plenty of other stuff on Gunpowder to keep visitors entertained, with open forums, an online shop and a members-only section, provocatively titled “G-Room”. We particularly like the Video Vault and Sound Studio sections, packed with the latest multimedia entertainment.

  And for those who don't always have time to trawl through this stylish find, readers can sign-up to a weekly e-newsletter in the form of G-news. Highlighting the week's best stories, it's a great way to keep abreast of the best lifestyle news without having to root around the Web for hours on end.

  Sexy and sophisticated, Gunpowder has all the style of Vogue, all the attitude of GQ and all the cutting-edge of Wallpaper; indeed, this explosive dot-com is all that you love about your favourite monthly glossies delivered fresh daily (and without the expensive purchase price!).
