September 2011 Magazine Covers - Best & Worst

They have arrived! Well, some of them. The highly anticipated September 2011 magazines! Since you guys liked it so much the last few times, I've decided to blog about the mag covers every month, woohoo! While some covers haven't been revealed yet (Allure, hurry up!) I wanted to share some of the magazines that have already put out their September issues. Enjoy, and let me know what you think!




Kreayshawn for I-D magazine
How.freaking.amazing.are.those.lashes
I'll be honest, I don't even know who this rapper is
But with lashes like those, who cares!




Anne Hathaway for Marie Claire UK
She looks pretty, that dress does not.
It looks like the stars were photoshopped on afterwards.
Weird.




Frieda Pinto for In Style UK
I think she looks beautiful!
Ever since I saw Slumdog Millionaire, I loved Frieda
The hair and makeup is great, and those lace sleeves are sexy




OK I have to say - i'm ambivalent about posthumous magazine covers
On one hand, I think it's nice to remember someone's talent and art
On the other hand, I feel like the media is capitalizing on someone's death and making money from it. So i'll just leave it at that.




SJP for Marie Claire US
Photoshopped to all hell. And i'm sorry, but I hate the outfit.
Pink and red never went together, and they still don't.




Emma Stone for Teen Vogue
My love!!!!!!!! Of course she looks fabulous
Very natural makeup but still gorgeous
I love how the color of the coat compliments her hair and eyes




Adele for Elle Quebec
Wow. She honestly looks breath-taking.
I always thought she was gorge, but this cover is phenom!
The eyes!!! I need to get my hands on this magazine and see what makeup they used on her




Emma Stone for W
Her career is on fire right now!
Movies, being the new face of Revlon, magazine covers!
Get it girl. However, i'm not quite sure what's going on with this weird fringe outfit...






Karolina Kurkova for Vogue Japan
OK this is a disaster.
She was a Victoria's Secret model, and she is looking like this.
Not cool, not edgy, just a fail in my book.




I don't know who this is and I've never heard of LOVE magazine,
but it was too pretty not to put it in this post!




Ryan Gosling for Esquire
My boyfriend has a huge man crush on Ryan, so Greg - this one is for you.




Lily Allen for Fashion
She looks so cute! Love the winged liner and her hair up
The polka dots and earrings complete the look
I've always admired her fashion choices




Rihanna for Glamour
Holy red hair and sequined pants!
Only she can pull this off, and make it work
Is it just this photo, or does she have red eye liner on? If so, it looks awesome!




Jessica Alba for Lucky
She looks pretty, but there's nothing special or fun about this cover.
Seems like it's missing the "wow" factor to me






Kirsten Dunst for Elle UK
What a pleasant surprise! Haven't seen her around in a while, right?
She looks so pretty and polished - the bitten lips and natural eyes suit her
The wispy hair and the flowers really give this cover a whimsical feel




Katie Fogarty for Vogue Australia
This might be one of my favorites!
The eye makeup and the hat are stunning.
They really focused the cover on her - no background or distracting props.




Kate Moss for Interview
LOVE LOVE LOVE.
The mask is amazing, the eyes are fierce
I love the colors they used. Interview always brings it!




Karlie Kloss for Bazaar Australia
The dress is so feminine and beautiful
The only thing I don't like, is the wind-blown hair
It looks like it's sticking straight out on the right haha




Jessica Stam for Flare
Her makeup looks flawless (she is a model, afterall)
Not crazy about the hair and the dress. Love the shoes though




Jennifer Lopez for Vanity Fair
Well obviously we knew she was going to land covers this month, right?
She's been a tabloid fixture ever since she announced her divorce and resigned with AI
Love the makeup, don't love the hair, hate how they put her boobs on display for "shock" factor
Tacky. Reminds me of that awful, green Versace dress she unfortunately wore one year




Gwyneth for Elle
This couldn't be more boring if it TRIED.
Bad makeup - they made her look washed out and pale
Hair is the same its been for 30 years
And I think she forgot to wear pants...




Mila Kunis for Glamour UK
Oh Mila, how I adore you!
She has amazing style, and I love how they put her in this retro dress
I like that they went easy on the makeup, she doesn't need it




Beyonce for Bazaar
I like this. The fiery red dress looks great,
along with the dramatic blue smokey eye
Well done


Emma Watson for Company
I laughed pretty hard when I saw this cover.
I don't know if it's supposed to be funny, or i'm just weird.
Either way, this one is...unique.




I think the magazines brought their A Game this month! What's your favorite?






August 2011 Magazine Covers - The Best & Worst

It's that time again! I feel like I just did all of the July covers (I was a bit behind) but here are some of the August 2011 magazine covers! Hope you enjoy...


Tilda Swinton for W Magazine
Oh.My.God.Love.
Tilda is known for being "outside the box" when it comes to fashion/beauty,
but I love this look! Very David Bowie-esque which is always a good thing.


Claudia Shiffer for Vogue Germany
This cover is so gorgeous! I wish I could pull off an eye mask like this on the regular.
Just show up at work like - hey guys, like my eye mask? I wish.



Model (?) for Shape
Who is this? If it's a model, that's interesting considering celebrities have
seemingly taken over magazine covers as of late.


SJP for Vogue
Hmmm I find it funny that it's the "age" issue, yet SJP is photoshopped to hell.
Mixed messages for sure.



Olivia Wilde for Marie Claire
Oh this is just lovely. She is so gorgeous, and just kills it in this photo.
I love the minimal makeup, it lets her beauty speak for itself.
Love the red on her, and the side swept bangs are great. Well done!


Mila and Justin for Elle
Not so sure about this one guys. Mila rules, but she doesn't look great here.
Looks like her hair needs a serious comb through it...
Justin is rocking a seriously weird expression on his face too


Kim Kardashian for Cosmo
Again??? Think Cosmo needs to get some new cover girls in their rotation
She looks good, even though I kinda hate the dress

Katie Holmes for In Style
Wow! This is a pleasant surprise. Mrs. Tom Cruise is looking awesome
on the this cover! I like the dress, natural but pretty makeup, hair is flowy and pretty.


Jessica Alba for Allure
Eh. Two months in a row, Allure has underwhelmed me with their cover.
I wanted a crazy, creative, high-drama makeup cover!
Better luck next month I guess...


Heidi Klum for Glamour
Cute! I feel like she always looks great though. She is a model after all =)


Anne Hathaway for Bazaar
Don't hate it but don't love it either.
She has such a pretty smile, that would have made this cover better!


Michelle Williams for Glamour Germany
I love this! Colorful, fun, a little weird!
The lashes and lips are perfect for her, brava.


Emma Stone for Vanity Fair
God I love her. But her red lips are STARING at me. And not in a good way.
Love her hair, the bathing suit, the fact that she isn't overly bronzed.
But the lips. Why so harsh? Wahhhh


Drew Barrymore for Nylon
Oh. Wow.
I get Nylon's urge to be "unique" but this is just a freakin mess.


Miranda Kerr for Vogue Australia
Gorge! What a pretty dress, and pretty girl!
Ms. Orlando Bloom kills it on this cover


Christina Hendricks for Lucky
Whoa, curves! I think she looks great!
On the red carpet she usually has a bold color on
so this is a nice change up, especially with her hair color.


What's your favorite August cover?! Share!



July 2011 Magazine Covers - The Best & Worst

Like most chicks, I get so jazzed when the next batch of new magazines come out each month. Below are most of the July 2011 magazine covers - mostly United States - and my thoughts.


Rihanna for Cosmo
I'm a huge Rihanna fan and think she looks awesome!
Still digging the bright red hair, and I love the cropped tops she's been rocking.
The softer makeup totally suits her with the wild hair/outfit


Zooey Deschanel for Self
I really really dig Zooey's vintage style.
I just watched (500) Days of Summer and it was amazing!
However, this cover is underwhelming to me.
Seems like she has no makeup on.



Lindsay for Vanity Fair
OK so this isn't a US mag, but Lilo is my guilty pleasure.
Say what you will about her, she can strike a pose


Rosie Huntington-Whitely for Maxim
WHOA. Just whoa. Sex kitten status.
I looove the winged liner and tousled hair
Megan Fox or Rosie H-W for Transformers?


Florence Welch for Nylon
Florence has been getting a lot of great attention lately, and it's so well deserved!
While I usually love how Nylon styles their cover girls, this is not my favorite cover.


Lauren Conrad for Lucky
Yawn.


Emma Watson for Vogue
DAMN! She's come so far from Harry Potter huh?
Aside from being the face of the Burberry campaign, she is one stylish chick
That berry red lip is kick ass!


Jennifer Aniston for Marie Claire
Well, the first place my eyes go are to the NO PANTS situation..
Aside from just wearing an over-sized men's blazer, I think the fun new hair works for her
And a nice smile always helps!


Fergie for Allure
Oh dear. God forgive me, but Fergie looks awful on this cover.
I feel like sometimes she looks great, and other times she looks...like this.
I think the makeup they used on her washes her out, especially the muted lip.


Eva Longoria for InStyle
The dress is cute. Otherwise, another yawn for me.
Pretty lady, but I feel like she looks the same on every mag cover


Emma Stone for Elle
YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!
The red lip! The obnoxious Big-Bird-esque dress! Back to being blonde!
I love it all.


Claudia Shiffer for Harper's Bazaar
This woman always looks hott no matter WHAT!
This cover has a Brigette Bardot type feel to it and I love it.


Miss Xtina for W
WOW. This was certainly an unexpected choice!
Aside from being naked, I almost didn't recognize her with the crazy/crimpy hair and
makeup that wasn't painted on. And no red lip?! I'm kinda loving this.


Blake Lively for Glamour
She looks hott, but it's business as usual.
I do like the eye liner, and how they got her long legs in the shot.
Otherwise, nothing new or exciting about this one.


Katy Perry for Rolling Stone
LOVE! I know I already posted this cover a few weeks back,
but needed to include it again because it's just so funny and cute!
Katy's makeup looks flawless too!


Audrina Patridge for Shape
I kinda feel like all The Hills alums are exhausting, so I
don't know if I can form a real opinion on this cover.
She has a great body, but I guess that's really it.
