Happy Monday Everyone!
Let me tell you about a vice I've had for many years now: MAGAZINES. Flipping through the pages is simply addicting. If you lose me in a bookstore, you'll know I'll be at the magazine section. When flights get delayed, I won't be the first to complain, as long as there's a news stand at the airport carrying all those glossy covers. If you visit me at home, you'll find stacks of magazines and even if they're in neat piles, I must admit, they're invading the area designated as "free space".
So here I am in magazine rehab, learning to let go of my favorite reading material. But letting go is never easy therefore blah to Tada! is my easy way out.
Here are my old copies of Lucky Magazine. It's a style and shopping magazine that I used as inspiration for different looks using the clothes that I already own.
I love that there's a page full of "Yes" and "Maybe" stickers to mark the pages that inspired me. Now that I'm passing on these magazines, I'm saving the stickers.
What a great idea! I actually save all of my old magazines...I love sifting through them years later even. But those Lucky stickers are screaming for a repurpose. Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Lil Bee!
ReplyDeletewhat an awesome idea! I love the way you think!
ReplyDeleteLittle tabs like that are my favorite, my textbooks for school are chock full of the little guys sticking out the sides. I only have the plain old colored ones, I would love these for my cookbooks! Great idea!
ReplyDeleteWow I need those labels for all of my hundred of Rachel Ray magazines. I think I have 3 years worth of magazines!!

ReplyDeleteYou go girl..another great idea...
ReplyDeletehey i got those lucky labels!! it's my first time reading the mag. haha. thanks for the suggestion!
ReplyDeleteI have to say, this is the one reason I loved all the Lucky mags I had. I'm not as much of a fashion person as I thought I could be, but those little tabs are genius for all the magazines I really love!
ReplyDeleteHi Claire, love seeing all your magazines. You made me laugh when you said about not minding if your flight is delayed if there are magazines! I'm the same if there is a book shop. I could live in a book shop! Love the tabs, I like using tabs, as you've seen in my blog post. Thanks for popping over : )
ReplyDeleteHi Lisa! Glad you like it =)
ReplyDeleteHello Tom Tuttle...I hope you're liking Lucky!
Hey Brittanie! Whoever thought about adding those labels in the magazine are heroes =)
Thanks for visiting Woollywotnots! I love bookstores, too!
oh! BravO!! I've never used the Lucky tags (and of course I still have a stockpile of my back issues) ... this is a VERY useful way to make use of them. Loving your blog!!
