Can't quite help you on a site with high-resolution pictures (I'd love to know one as well), but one piece of advice I can give you is.. start collecting magazines like there is no tomorrow!
They can be expensive (and a total b*tch to move around if you're moving), but it's worth it to slowly build up a collection of magazines which you just have for grabs. Find one or two magazines you really adore which always feature great shoots, interesting stories and just buy those two every month. Perhaps also try to have them be quite different magazines to gain some diversity, a Vogue US and Vogue UK are nice, but you get a lot more diversity if you buy the Vogue UK and let's say I-D magazine.
You could also check with bookstores/magazine shops or any place that sells magazines about what they do with the left over magazines from previous months. Here in the Netherlands they sometimes tear the front cover of and sell it for a cheaper price, maybe you can find a store who does that or who you can make a deal with. Also check with your school if they know somewhere to get cheap magazines.
And another tip might be also to check out non-fashion magazines, it might sometimes be necessary to get your inspiration from something not-fashion related and then those piles and piles of fashion magazines are somewhat useless.. (I've run into that problem.. ugh).
And if you want to be really creative go out there and shoot some pictures yourself! (that is if they don't have to be high fashion shoots, which might be a bit difficult)
Hope it is any help!
