Summary: Lucky Magazine Subscription
Comment: Love this magazine, I always find a few things I'm interested in every month. I look forward to checking it out every month. It's definitely a shoppers helper!

Summary: "Lucky" the shoppers magazine
Comment: We first discovered this publication traveling in Canada. My daughters are avid shoppers and "lucky" doesn't waste a single page. Cover to cover it's full of valuable information if you like fashion/shopping. Each issue includes a page of removable tabs for the reader to mark pages, particular items, information you might want to refer to later. FUN, FUN, FUN if your Paris Hilton or my daughters!

Summary: One of the better US fashion mags
Comment: I've been a Lucky subscriber for years. What appealed to me in the beginning still holds true today: Fashion trends translated into wearable looks, a focus on emerging designers and lesser known labels, a range of items presented in terms of affordability, and an appealing page layout that maximizes content. You won't find page after page of ads in Lucky. The articles fashion focused - no delving in personal matters or politics, it's just fashion. It's also a great resource for new online retailers and promo codes. Highly recommend Lucky. I hope it's always this spot on when it comes being what a shopper wants.

Summary: Lucky = Junk Mail
Comment: This is definitely the worst magazine I've ever "read." I give the postmod quotes to "read" because there's absolutely nothing in this magazine to read. Unless you count ad copy. 90% of the clothing and stuff they highlight is insanely expensive. Need help selecting a $300 skirt? Then 1) this is the mag for you and 2) you're kind of pathetic. I got a free 1-year subscription so at least I didn't pay for it.

Summary: Who reads this?
Comment: I know I am going to get a big boot from other reviewers for writing this, but, this is one of the most useless and boring magazines I have ever read.
The entire magazine is just replete with materialism and obsession with consumerism. This may be because as a young girl, I absolutely HATED (and still do) shopping for clothes in the malls and stores.
As for content, I'd rather read Cosmo from cover to cover than read this magazine in its entirety. At least Cosmo doesn't try to act sophisticated and just tells it like it is.
What I'd like to know is, who are the people actually reading a magazine about . . . shopping? Shopping for womens' clothing? Seems a bit ridiculous. Maybe my review has evolved into a more ethical statement, and perhaps this shouldn't be the case for a magazine review, but really, do women actually enjoy reading magazines cover to cover about shopping for (mostly) clothing and jewelry? I can't imagine feeling even remotely human after reading something so superficial.
I'd also like to point out that the few times I've actually read the magazine, I didn't like the articles about their clothing ideas. You can get better fashion ideas on the web or flipping through a Newport News or Spiegel catalogue. You can also get better fashion advice from your own mother or sister.
If you want to look good, disdain all of the trends and don't listen to fashion. Fashion is nice in small details, but living your life by the code and ethics of fashion is bound to make you look like a clone of everyone else, and I thought fashion was to make your own distinctive style.
Addendum: After reading the other reviews (I looked at the lowest ratings), I noticed that most unhappy readers of this magazine were also equally unhappy with the fact that "Lucky" magazine focuses on clothing that is too expensive for the average salary. I agree. This magazine is for women who make at least $100,000 a year and can blow about half of their paycheques every month ($5,000 at least minimum) on the latest clothing and whatever else the magazine advertises. I assume if you are making a modest salary of $30,000 to $40,000 (or even less if you're in your early twenties), then most of the items in the magazine are not a realistic purchase for you. The editors of this magazine should realise that they are promoting for women to become broke (literally) by pursuing unrealistic fantasies about fashion. And yes, I also agree with other reviewers that most of the fashion ideas in the magazine are hardly classy or attractive.
