Twenty years ago, a small spark of an idea ignited what we now cherish as Style magazine. It was born out of a desire to connect, inspire, and celebrate the vibrant communities of Lake and Sumter. Today, as we mark this significant milestone, I am filled with gratitude for each reader who has allowed us to tell the story of our beloved counties—places bursting with life, opportunities and beauty.

The inception of Style magazine was driven by a simple, yet profound belief in the power of storytelling. From the very first issue, our goal was to highlight the unique charm of Lake and Sumter counties. We wanted to bring communities closer, showcase local talents and provide a platform for voices that often go unheard. It was an ambitious mission, but with your support, and the support of our amazing advertisers, we embarked on a path that would lead us to extraordinary places.

Our dedication to uncovering the essence of Lake and Sumter has been unwavering. Over the years, we’ve covered stories of local artisans crafting beauty from raw materials, entrepreneurs breathing life into their dreams and community members making a difference. Each article, each feature, has been a testament to the vibrant spirit of our region—a place where hard work and creativity flourish.

The future of Style magazine is bright, thanks to the foundation built over the past two decades. Our commitment to quality journalism, compelling narratives and community engagement remains steadfast. We look forward to exploring new avenues, uncovering untold stories and continuing to be a trusted source for everything that makes Lake and Sumter counties exceptional.

Publishing Style magazine has been one of the greatest accomplishments — and joys — of my life. None of this would have been possible without you, our loyal readers and advertisers. Your support, feedback and enthusiasm have been the driving force behind our success. Thank you for letting us into your homes and hearts. We are truly honored.

Style has become more than a magazine; it’s a lifeSTYLE! 

Thank you,
