Magazine Monday - Spotlighting ELLE October 2012

Ah, ELLE is one of my favorite magazines (And one of my favorite blog partners ;)), and it's always a treat paging through magazines with our readers! And Britney's on the cover? Sold!

~-~:::~-~

I grew up with Britney in my life, so I feel pretty attached to her! I love this strong and confident cover, with this gorgeous cobalt on her! She's rocking her latest signature of short, tight dresses, and it looks great!

~-~:::~-~

I love the ELLE trend pages that show gorgeous ways to stick trends in your wardrobe! Glitz, rock, and pearls... Who needs anything more?

I love meeting new designers, especially ones with a great aesthetic! Meet Australia's Dion Lee and his gorgeous straight silhouettes, simple designs, with an important color twist! Definitely have to look out for this guy!

Another awesome feature in ELLLE is their Personal Style Guide pages! Again, gorgeous options for different types of women! These pages have looks for day, night, and weekends for all types of personalities! Whether you're an extrovert, adventuress, glamour girl, or urban surfer... There is something here for you! ;)

All I have to say is... It's Britney, bitch! Love her! And it's a great piece to read!

And now for the editorials! Wait Until Dark is all about moody hues and rich laces! Gothic, enchanting, and mysterious! Oh so pretty.

(Starts on page 379)

The final editorial Home Front is gorgeous... An almost dark twist on the country... Romantic but eerie... Chunky knits, romantic lace, and quirky Victorian accents! Beautifully different!

Another awesome issue and plenty of pages to pin up on your wall! Pick this issue up!

Magazine Monday - The Best and Worst September Issue Advertisements

Now we all know that September magazine issues are huge and filled with a ridiculous amount of advertisements. But who was successful in catching our attention?

Here are my favorite ads that are gloriously colorful and worth stopping on!

~-~:::~-~

Alexander McQueen

Alice & Olivia

Bebe

Belstaff

Chloe

Dolce & Gabbana

Etro

Furla

Kenzo

Leon Max

Levi's

Louis Vuitton

Marciano

Neiman Marcus (featuring McQueen)

Oscar de la Renta

Salvatore Ferragamo

Valentino

~-~:::~-~

Now, color is not essential to create a gorgeous ad! Check out these pretty pieces that are mostly colorless!

Coach

Burberry

Calvin Klein

Escada

J.Mendel

Max Mara

~-~:::~-~

The next ad is one of my favorites! I think the photography and effects are interesting, and still manage to show off the essence of the clothing and make you want to buy it!

Missoni

~-~:::~-~

And finally, we have what NOT to do! I hate these ads!

Chanel

I feel like each issue has like 4 Chanel ads in it, and they are all awful! I don't understand the model's odd looks and the lack of clothes on BOTH pages, and the messy hair.. Eh.

Dior

While I LOVE Mila Kunis, I hate these Dior ads! Again, I just don't get it! She's a gorgeous girl, and they made her look like a 5 year old trying to dress in older clothing - or, at least, that's what I'm getting out of it! I feel like this campaign could have really been gorgeous, but it's just all wrong.

Miu Miu

I get Miu Miu's quirky style, but I just can't get behind it. Chloe Sevigny looks a mess, that's all.

~-~:::~-~

What were your favorite ads from the large and in charge September issues??
