Haunt Me

What is it that I love so much about Lula? The other-worldly shoots? The dreamy poetry? The beautiful clothes? No, I cannot pick just one thing. Everything is divine. How often do you find a magazine that, once opened, must be devoured there and then, a magazine that whisks you away, even if only for half an hour, to a place you thought only existed in your dreams and where you can forget everything. Even yourself.

My brain would be damaged beyond repair if I suddenly lost such a treasure chest of inspiration.

It is, therefore, with great relief that I can tell you that Lula mag is not ceasing to exist! After reading about the rumours on Susie's blog, I decided to give Lula a call and ask...At first I thought I got the wrong number and the person down the line was just playing a joke on me, so I hung up, but then they called me back and said that it was Lula. They were really nice and said that the magazine will most definitely continue to exist and that it was other magazines, most likely 'Love', that might soon be folding.

Despite never having a Lula in my possession, I remember the only time I saw it quite well. I remember, with a slight chuckle, how I copied names of designers and shops from shoots into my phone, to make sure I didn't forget to check them out later because I loved the clothes so much. Particularly inspiring was this photoshoot with the girl clad in dark victorian outfits, so inspiring that I yearned to recreate the outfit right there and then.
