Best case...inspiration, worst case über cool guest bathroom reading!</p> <p>Many moons ago when visiting UK, got together with a UK friend who was considering immigration to Canada. We tied up at a pub, and for his Intel he was gifted with 6 random magazines ranging from 'newsy' to house and garden, Canadian Ed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anna-wintour-lucky-mag#post-1442260 Sat, 14 Feb 2015 01:30:55 +0000 AM 1442260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel like you guys are speaking Greek.

Not so much about ideas and inspiration - although I do like their real way for runway styling.</p> <p>For inspiration, to be honest, I've started looking at Danish magazines.

I'll have to take a peek. Instyle actually seems better the past 6 months than I remember it being.&nbsp;</p> <p><div>I don't bother with Vogue USA.

Unless its GQ. For some reason, I find it to be so on target. Maybe because men's styles are simpler than women's? I often glean a helpful little tip or idea from GQ that i can use for my own clothing and style, despite the fact that I'm a woman have a womanly wardrobe.<div><br /></div><div>I subscribed to Lucky last spring. I almost wish I had cancelled my subscription though. I leaf through an issue and toss it. I find it apathetic, boring, and uninspiring. The only issue I've held onto was Sept 2012 (Eva Longoria cover).&nbsp;There were was a beautiful&nbsp;fashion spread featuring Italian women and how they dress. It&nbsp;completely turned my closet around in terms of style. They featured clothes in &nbsp;that issue I&nbsp;could relate to and love.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>And now...flip, flip, flip. Toss. Thud. [Magazine hits bottom of wastebasket.]</div><div><br /></div><div>Now I browse Pinterest, pour over YLF, visit Instagram and blogs, and just go shopping and wear the clothes that make me feel good inside and out.</p> <p>That's my .10 cents. hehe :)&nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anna-wintour-lucky-mag#post-1440718 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 04:07:01 +0000 rachylou 1440718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, good point. That's how I get my magazine fix a lot of the time: Mags from the other side of the pond.</p> <p>Lucky does seem to be confused about where it should aim.</p> <p>I will have to look more closely at More. I do like Redbook re-do, but that's not really a fashion mag. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anna-wintour-lucky-mag#post-1440702 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 03:44:14 +0000 Carla 1440702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a fan of UK versions of Glamour and Instyle, as well as house and garden porn.

Magazines seems so static you know. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anna-wintour-lucky-mag#post-1440683 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 03:08:29 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1440683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I forgot to derisively LOL at the idea of your late 20s being middle aged... I do think Lucky has a bit of an identity crisis at the moment. When it was founded it was aimed at 20-somethings, but that was a decade or more ago. They can't seem to decide if they should keep the same demographics, or move with the people who read them originally.</p> <p>You know what magazine is great? More. It's nominally aimed at women over 40, but honestly I'd recommend it to any woman. The fashion and beauty stuff are excellent and the journalism/feature stories remind me of old-school Glamour or Rolling Stone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anna-wintour-lucky-mag#post-1440675 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 03:02:37 +0000 Karie 1440675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I still like Lucky, In Style, and Glamour, but really? Their target is the middle aged crowd of 20-30&nbsp;year olds? I'm so ancient it's a wonder I have the strength to turn the pages of the magazines!</p> <p>I'll just go back to reading my food magazines...oh wait, there's Ana Wintour! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anna-wintour-lucky-mag#post-1440668 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 02:54:09 +0000 rachylou 1440668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Laura</b>, I know. Makes me worry. Publishing like that is, I'm afraid, on life support. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anna-wintour-lucky-mag#post-1440595 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 00:50:25 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1440595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I used to subscribe to Lucky and it was the best of the shopping focused magazines. Got a deal and resubscribed at Christmas and it's a faint shadow of what it used to be, literally (very thin) and with content. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anna-wintour-lucky-mag#post-1440572 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 23:57:08 +0000 rachylou 1440572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, no, sorry to be confusing: That wasn't Lucky staff who said that 'bout 20-year-olds being middle aged... that was tweenie trolls on Yahoo. No connection to Lucky. Just some of the many confused random people out there (like myself, confused and confusing, haha!)</p> <p>Lucky actually, apparently, doesn't target age groups. They define their target audience by where they are in their careers. Which is also a little bit wonky, since the whole idea of a 'career' is now DOE. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anna-wintour-lucky-mag#post-1440571 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 23:55:01 +0000 Marley 1440571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Huh. &nbsp;I guess that I'll have to check out Lucky mag. &nbsp;Don't think I've ever looked at it before. &nbsp;Of course I haven't actually&nbsp;<i>bought</i> a magazine in years - so . . . there's that. &nbsp;I'm a fan of Anna and Grace so if I were to buy one it would probably be Vogue. &nbsp;I just like looking at the pics! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anna-wintour-lucky-mag#post-1440557 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 22:59:33 +0000 Anonymous 1440557@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HA! &nbsp;Ok, now I'm officially stopping buying it. &nbsp;I won't give my money to anyone who considers 20-30 year olds middle aged. &nbsp;Ah, I need a laugh today, thanks rachy. &nbsp;I know that answer likely came from some doltish intern, but still? &nbsp;Yeah, Bazaar is a good magazine. I like their feature articles too- good writers on board there. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anna-wintour-lucky-mag#post-1440552 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 22:55:05 +0000 K.M. 1440552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>rachylou, that's so true about the target audience! Or maybe they're getting a generation of young women into debt with their tempting stuff.</p> <p>I've gotten lots of great ideas from Lucky under Eva--beauty products, outfits, and even more personal discussions of fashion. Funny enough, to me the least interesting are the fashion editorials--not relatable, not seasonal. But their other fashion features (shorter pieces, etc) are great. </p> <p>I used to love In Style for fashion--that was my go-to. But I stopped liking it in the last couple of years and haven't seen one since.</p> <p>Wintour-era Vogue... I just never could relate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anna-wintour-lucky-mag#post-1440545 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 22:46:38 +0000 rachylou 1440545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I haven't seen a Bazaar in ages, <b>lisap</b>. I'll have to check it out. I think of Bazaar, I think of Grace Kelly.</p> <p>Funny about Lucky - I can't imagine anyone in their target audience having the money to buy what they show. Lol. </p> <p>ETA: I just googled for Lucky's target audience. Someone asked the question on Yahoo Answers. A response they got: </p> <i>The target audience for it is most likely middle aged women. Maybe women in their late 20's, early 30's onwards. </i></p> <p>Hahaha! ... Hahaha! All I need to do is lie back in my grave. Hahaha! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anna-wintour-lucky-mag#post-1440536 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 22:38:50 +0000 Anonymous 1440536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think Anna Wintour is now editorial director for the whole Conde Nast group, isn't she? &nbsp;I'm scanning the publishing masthead in a recent Vogue but can't read it without my glasses - argh. &nbsp;Anyways, she now has a broader role within the whole company. &nbsp;I like Lucky, although I am always somewhat embarrassed to be "caught" reading or buying it as I am most definitely outside of the age demographic. &nbsp;Vogue under Wintour has firmly tipped over to the boring side. I still buy it each month, because, well I just have to, but I much prefer Bazaar now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anna-wintour-lucky-mag#post-1440504 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 21:32:23 +0000 rachylou 1440504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>UmmLila - that made me laugh, *Eva Chen fan club.* Truth is funny. But I still like Lucky; all I want from it is pics, shopping info, and some styling suggestions. And I feel I can see the clothes at least shown in Lucky. Vogue always does these murky, blackout layouts, which are very small these days and sandwiched between articles I enjoy reading more in Woman's World.</p> <p>gauche - Now, Diana Vreeland. She was brilliant.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anna-wintour-lucky-mag#post-1440489 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 21:02:35 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1440489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As far as I understand, Lucky is going digital, but it is going to be more of a shopping site than an editorial site.</p> <p>I miss the Kim France days. I feel like the current version of the magazine is too much like the Eva Chen fan club look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anna-wintour-lucky-mag#post-1440475 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 20:35:52 +0000 Anonymous 1440475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also don't get the iconification of Anna Wintour -- except as an eccentric&nbsp;character who's fun to satirise.&nbsp;Vogue under her regime turned celebrity-driven, &nbsp;outlandish without being fun, and boringly written. I suppose she did turn the September Issue into a big thing, which made Condé Nast very&nbsp;happy.&nbsp;(I just realised I've been buying or&nbsp;looking at&nbsp;Vogue for nearly 50&nbsp;years! Yikes. I'm old enough to remember the Diana Vreeland years. Wish I'd kept my back issues.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anna-wintour-lucky-mag#post-1440471 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 20:05:47 +0000 rachylou 1440471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did not realise that. I've also dropped HG from my list. </p> <p>Yeah, I don't know about, Anna. Aside from Lucky, it seems like most of the magazines I liked, she's been killing off slowly. But that's about my personal tastes. I don't know about actual circulation. Maybe she bumped it? </p>
