September Mags

September. Fall Fashion. The month of the year when Magazines are the thickest. You expect a lot from the mags around this time of year. You need to know what to wear this season and how to wear the new trends this season. So here are the covergirls of Vogue, W, and Elle, and my opinions of each one.





Lindsay Lohan for Elle. OK, why does this girl get all the fame????? Drunk driving, rehab, late night clubbing, and fashion faux pas. This girl is no role model for readers of the magazine. On the Elle website it says, "Lohan on rehab, her narcissism and why she won't trust anyone." Not "Lohan on a new role, a new album and her innovative sense of fashion". Heaven forbid that the magazine industry is relying on famous faces and their juicy stories to sell, sell, sell. I found the shoot dull and repetitive about a girl who abused her fame, and has no real accomplishments.





Gwyneth Paltrow for W. I'm not quite sure what to think about this one. I think that the photo shoot is interesting. The lighting is interesting. But Gwyneth doesn't look like Gwyneth. In this shoot, she looks like a hippie. Her hair-it's so flat! I think she looks too old to be a hippie. Of course, she is lovely none the less gorgeous, but the shoot just doesn't seem to suit her personality. Overall, I think it's a good shoot.









Sienna Miller for Vogue? Not exactly September cover material in my book. Sure, she's a style icon in her own right(well....actually I take that back, not after the way she's been dressing lately) and she is a talented actress. But the September issue of Vogue, and for that matter any magazine, is important. Possibly the most important issues of the year. So the cover should give a fantastic first impression. Instead, it's just a blonde girl staring blankly at me. Last year's Marie Antoinette issue was FABULOUS. A wonderful photo shoot accompanied about an inspirational person. But Sienna Miller is a party girl. She's your basic celebrity. Actress, fashionista, partier turned fashion designer. Not a leader, just a "free spirit". What do you guys think abou this month's Vogue? Did it meet your expectations? Tell me what you think.

I also agree, Gwyneth doesn't look like her, but the photos are interesting.
And Lindsay doesn't look good on Elle!

i read the elle cover story on Lindsay and was quite unimpressed...she is quite the shallow one (her explanation for going panty-less is lame-oh la la). I always find Gwyneth looks great but on the W cover, she looks like a really hot dragqueen...its does not suit her...as for sienna on vogue...lets not even start. as much as i wanna be all into fashion and read about trends, i just don't "get" vogue...I must not have been born with a vogue gene or something...great post tho!

I'm tired of Lalohan getting all the frickin fame when she doesnt deserve it...she needs to clean up her act...i havent had time to read the september mags, but i agree that the marie antoinette cover was 10 times better then sienna...

I agree with you with that comment bout Lindsay, she doesn't have that "angel" that just to be.

I think Sienna is totally over rated and only famous for dating Jude Law. She is a nice dresser but nothing amazing. Yes I am sick of Lindsery Lohan as well. I like the W cover of Gwyneth, she looks so different and far removed from her normal bland self.
