When the weather is this bitter, it’s hard to find a reason to leave your apartment – even if you’re drooling over the latest issue of Vogue. Now, thanks to Postmates, you won’t have to!

The delivery also comes with a six-month print & digital subscription to the magazine. $15 to keep my slippers on? I’m listening…
And they’re not the only company bringing the issues directly to you. Refinery29 is a popular style website and they’re capitalizing on New York Fashion Week to extend their brand.
