 Cute ideas, but otherwise too pricey fashions June 16, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
This magazine is mostly to admire the fashions, unless you have a pretty big expenditure account. They do a nice job including new fashions, trends, beauty products and reviews, and home decorating ideas - but almost everything is pretty upscale and unrealistically expensive. Frequenting the pages are outfit pieces well over $300 each, shoes almost exclusively over $500, and beauty products over $60.
While I definitely did not expect this to be in any way a bargain hunters magazine, I certainly didn't expect only 10 or so pages per 120+ page issue with items under $50. It is nice and informative to browse the often outlandish fashions and keep up to date with what's in and what's up and coming, but most of the fashions are way out of budget for most people to achieve the looks they promote.
Overall, this magazine is informative, nice to look at, and always up to date on fashions - but seems to promote almost exclusively very expensive items for one to only dream about purchasing. If you're looking for a fashion magazine with items you can go out and purchase with a tight or moderate budget, don't bother. But if you're looking for a mindless read with some good ideas and new fashions, this might be the way to go.
Not a replacement for typical women's mags - and that's why I like it. May 27, 2008

I've subscribed to this magazine since 2001. To help you avoid all misconceptions, there are no stories - it's not a "women's" magazine in that sense. The magazine focuses on the latest styles and fashions and, in my opinion, does not insist on designer name brands to meet these styles but will rather focus on a particular "look" that can be replicated. Many of the items in the actual magazine are costly designer items, but what I've always used the magazine as was to provide a blue print to copy a certain look and as a guide for fantastic shopping all over the world.
This is much more like a shopping survivor's handbook - there's no frilly nonsense, just down to business fashion ideas.
I give it 4 stars because in the time I've had the magazine, I've seen it go from almost all content to almost all advertising - there is a lot of advertising - but that's the problem with fashion magazines as they get to be more successful.
 Trendy, but not realistic May 8, 2008

It had been awhile since I had read a Lucky Magazine, but I thought surely it must be full of the latest fashions and how to incorporate those elements in a sensible (yet trendy) way. Needless to say, I was not impressed. The mag is more advertising than content. The editors do not address different body types very much. The mag shows very little cultural diversity. Overall I was not pleased. I would flip through this mag if I did not have reading material at the gym, but I would not spend hard-earned money buying it. You would get better style advice by finding a catalog that dressed their models in a style you enjoyed.
I absolutely hate this magazine! February 5, 2008

I thought this magazine would help steer me towards some great shopping tips and bargains. Boy, was I wrong! 98% of the items shown are expensive, so if you're a bargain hunter like myself, don't waste your time with this magazine. The articles are boring and most of the outfits showcased would look silly on the average woman. I think this is probably the worst magazine I've ever purchased!
 Fun magazine, great for shopping February 3, 2008

This magazine is pretty cool. In the beginning of the magazine is a page full of stickers that you can place on pages that interest you. I find this to be a pretty unique feature. The magazine is full of quick little articles on every product of interest to women: clothes, styles, hair products, skin care products, etc. For someone who is interested in what is new or popular out there right now, this magazine will give you lots of new things to check out. I have had lots of magazine subcriptions to popular women's magazines... and this is one that I have renewed!
