Lucky Magazine – January 2010
Jan 7th 2010 02:08:17 pm
I haven’t done one of these magazine collages in over a year (the last one was posted in September 2007). They are just fun little pages where I glue all of the things that catch my eye from a single magazine issue. I don’t usually hang on to old issues of fashion mags, so this is a way to digitally archive the things I liked.
Recently, Cookie magazine shut down and they replaced my subscription with one to Lucky. I don’t mind. (Well, I do mind that Cookie is gone – I liked that mag.) I have fun looking through fashion magazines; I just never felt quite right subscribing to Lucky, the self-proclaimed “magazine about shopping.” But, now it is here, so I might as well enjoy it!
My favorites:
Gap chambray down vest – Man, I love this denim puffy vest! Sadly, I can’t find it on the Gap website… (p. 99)
CupcakesandCashmere.com – A new blog I will check out. It is about shopping… (p. 30)
Philosophy Divine Illumination- This moisturizer claims to disguise imperfections and brighten your skin tone. It is new, and I am always game to try something new! (p. 69)
Lavish crochet and glass bead cuff bracelet – crocheted gold wire with beads – very cool. (p. 84)
Coach Kristin Bag – I really like these new handbags from Coach. I am thinking about a black one… (p. 58)
Neutrogena Ageless Restoratives 5 Minute Facial – A new, gently exfoliating at-home treatment. (p. 75)
Fresh Strawberry Flowers Eau de Parfum – I like the fresh brand and this perfume sounds really pretty… I guess I would need to smell it first to confirm. (p. 75)
Romeo + Juliet – So, this isn’t really a fashion item, but Romeo + Juliet was referenced as an influence for one of the fashion spreads in the magazine and it really took me back. The movie came out when I was a sophomore in high school – back when PG-13 movies were still quite cool in my mind – and I was just blown away by it. I don’t think any other movie could be more cool to a 15-year-old girl! I need to watch it again asap! (p. 39)
Aveda Pure Abundance Hair Potion – Intriguing. It is a powder that transforms into a lotion that claims to give your hair body and texture. (p. 26)
Cropped, pleated pants- These usually wouldn’t be something I would go for, but they are coming into style for spring and I think I could pull them off. Maybe. (p. 88 & 110)
That is about it… I picked out more beauty products than clothes this time. Maybe January isn’t the best time for fashion – it is too early for spring styles, but winter clothes no longer have any appeal… What has caught your eye this month?

The pleated crop pants seem to me to be wrong on so many levels…..cropped to make one look shorter and pleats to make one look wider! Really, what are they thinking!
Just an FYI, if you like to do fashion collages try the webstie http://www.polyvore.com You can really make some wonderful fashion as well as art collages and it’s pretty easy to do to.
Love you blog!

Okay, I love you! I was looking at the january issue in my doctor’s office and I meant to pick a copy up because of this bracelet I saw and I forgot to get it! I have been scouring Lucky’s site and the internet in general for a picture of the bracelet and here it is!

Hi,
Maybe you’re no longer looking for it bur they have several of the Gap denim down vests available on Ebay.
