Honk if you remember "Lucky" magazine, especially "Lucky" in its glory days under the editorship of Kim France. She was the founding editor in 2000 and remained at the helm until 2010. Ahead of its time, "Lucky" was basically a shopping manual, a giant catalogue of all the newest in fashion, beauty and lifestyle, with no apologies.
'Lucky" was an instant hit both for making its content easily available and its cool-girl style. I loved it. Over time "Lucky" morphed into an over-priced and snooty magazine. I was not sad to see that version of "Lucky" fold in 2015.

I've only just discovered it, unfortunately, because here is "Lucky" in my inbox—short and sweet and decidedly shoppingcentric.
GOACA has everything the old "Lucky" had—fashion, shopping, home design, beauty, links to interesting stuff and a miscellaneous section, "But I Digress".
I feel lucky.
I loved Lucky for its actual shopping function. I also like this website, especially the Links section, and it has a good selection of fashion. But it's one of the hardest websites ever to navigate! I think we should call her and let her know a redesign is required!
