A couple of weeks ago I was handed a present from my Mother.
It was a Lula magazine that I had previously asked for and she had heard was a good read.
Normally it is up to me to fuel my Magazine addiction so this was a pleasant surprise.
I was even more pleasently surprised when I started to read the magazine and totally fell in love with it.
When it comes to magazines I am picky and probably on the side of OCD.
I catagorize them. Some more higly then others.
They are treated like bibles. You must have permission to handle them and only when your hands are clean. They must not be damaged at all when bought and if damaged by anybody they must be replaced.
Of course this does not apply to all my magazines only the most wonderful.
Lula has now been added to this catagory. Now making that two to ever make it there - the other being Love - When I first picked up Lula it was issue 8 with Chanel Iman on the cover. I picked it up and realised it was going to be good, only to be swiftly whisked away to another book shop. Leaving Lula behind.
So when I recieved this magazine - after checking for any damage - I went straight upstairs to read it cover to cover as I do with all magazines.
Honestly I was totally blown away. And yes you may find it silly that I have this much passion for a magazine but it was amazing. Just the quality of the paper for starters, then the pictures and general photogrphy but also the style of the magazine.
When it comes to fashion magazines I like them to be different I like them to break boundaries or come across as something else completely which is what I felt Lula did. Although it is a fashion magazine it did not feel like one it felt more like a homemade cookery book made by the homebaking american Mom.
I loved it especially the style of interview it was very friendly and conversational.
The peices were great and I especially loved the story at the end.
