To discover a bounty of inspiration for bringing beauty into the new year, collect your copy of the new January/February 2026 issue, available on newsstands and at victoriamag.com.
The Jan/Feb 2026 issue of Victoria is, in my opinion, one of the most beautiful and “blissful” in a long time. It reminds me of past issues when Nancy Lindemeyer was editor. Topics included arts, crafts, fashion, antiques, flowers & gardens and bridal; articles were more in depth, with more editorial content and photos. As I see it, the content in the past few years has become more concentrated on interior design and travel, along with more commercialism. Books and special seasonal issues are a rehash of past articles instead of new and supplemental topics. It appears the focus has narrowed to over-the-top decorating for affluent readers. I hope future issues will embrace this new vision. Thank you.
