Was anyone else bored?

First- The colors on the cover design- brown, tan, gold, purple, soft pink. Not anything new. I've been obsessed with that color combination for quite a while now.

Second- Round-toe wedges. Nothing new here, either

Third- Basics- pencil skirt, turtleneck layered with tank. Again, nothing new. Show me something that I haven't thought of already.

Fourth- Mixing Bright Colors. Blah, blah, blah. Been there, done that. Everytime I turned the page I saw a combo that I've been wearing for a while.

Meh. I was dissapointed in this issue.

I find that lucky seems to be loosing its edge a bit.

Now here is an idea - Anthro should come out with a fashion mag. Wouldnt we all love that advice!!

I felt the same, Kenzie!  And it never helps that the January issue is like the thinnest of the year... I always finish and think, "I'm done already!?"

Katherine Heigl does look nice on the cover, but I'm getting tired of seeing the same cover combinations every month.  It's always a cami/tank dress with a cardigan or jacket over it.  Always!

Things I didn't like: the knit layering article (the ideas were just not wearable!), featuring shearling in the What I Want Now! section (they feature shearling ALL. The. Time.  it's cute, but show us something new!)


Things I did like: the Avril Gau bag in the What's Next section


They seem to have done away with my favorite feature -- a week's worth of style.  I always loved that, but I haven't seen it in months.

Whew... that was cathartic :)  Guess I needed to vent about Lucky!

The thing that disturbed me was when they said the next IT bag would be a leather backback. I just couldn't go back there...

I just didn't feel it.  Although I loved the Christian Louboutin kelly green wedges...those were awesome.  And I really miss the week's worth of clothing feature.  It was so helpful to see someone make a few pieces work so hard.  I hope they bring it back!

I let out an audible groan when I saw that. Please no!!

That was always my favorite too.  I have even ripped out a lot of those and pinned them up in my closet bulletin board for ideas.  They never did it very consistently, but it's been months since they've done one of those spreads. 


Also, yeah this issue was boring.  They had a pair of round toe patent Seychelles wedges that I know a bunch of people here have and bought months ago.  Either we're way ahead of the trends or Lucky has really lost its edge.

oh thank god I'm not the only one who thought this was a terrible issue.  About the only things I liked was the bright blue color they featured in the bright color section (not that I could afford that stuff) and the green wedges kittenheels mentioned. 


I thought the white and black floral section was horrid.  I like white and black to wear but floral??  And how could they not feature one item from White and Black??  You can't tell me that there wasn't anything in that store that wouldn't work for their feature.


If I want overly expensive fashion I'll read In Style or Vogue - not Lucky

I felt like I flipped through it in about five minutes. And I put it down thinking that maybe I shouldn't renew my sub. next time...some of the fall issues were okay, but I really miss the old Lucky - edgier, without nearly every item being signifcantly out of my price range.

I didn't even mark anything in the shoe section. And the whole Next Big Thing section - bleh.

I also miss the "week of style" feature. That was always fun and inspiring.

I wish there was something to replace it. :(

I agree on the leather backpack. I'm afriad they're going to tell us the next it bag is the fanny pack.

are all the fashion editors at lucky pregnant? if i see one more retro boxy dress or potato-sack shaped tunic i'm gonna go buy something made with spandex just to rebel!

and what the hell is with that girl on page 79 with the braid wrapped around her head??? "its so chic" ha. text cannot convey my utter repulsion.

Well I would like to comment on the issue, but I haven't gotten mine yet. Maybe next week.

That is one of my favorite parts too! Maybe they'll bring it back again.

Did anyone feel like that work style piece they did was basically the devil wears prada with that girl?  That revamped pic of her looked like something right out of that movie and that hair cut was definetly the same one.  I thought her hair was much prettier the old way.


Oh and no leather backpacks for me either.

Didn't she look kind of like D in the aftre pic though? I had to do a double take!

What a tiny little issue. And I agree, everything is too expensive in the magazine.

I don't even remember seeing it in there if that helps you any... If it was there it wasn't very memorable as I have flipped through mine twice since getting it on friday.

omg I was thinking the exact same thing! Her hair was exactly the same with the bangs and everything.  I liked her "before" hair better. 


This issue was tiny compared to the previous issues.  The "Next Big Thing" issue was kinda boring too.
