US versus UK Magazine Covers: December 2011


I've stooped to a new low, not getting this December post out until January. And you all have probably seen all of the January covers if you love magazines/fashion like me. So epic fail for me. I'm home now for winter break, away from my lovely college town. It hasn't been too terrible, but the lack of internet service has certainly dampened my spirits. (One of my pathetic excuses as to why this is so late). So here I am at the library using their free wifi. 

Anyway, hope you all had a great Christmas and New Year's! I started this blog exactly one year ago yesterday-- and it's been a great year with Eloise. I've made many amazing blog friends and have become so inspired by what I've seen and read from the blog world. Don't forget to leave feedback or contact me if there is something you'd love for me to blog about or anything at all. I'm always looking for more ideas!
Love, Raquel.


1. VOGUE

Vogue US: This cover reminds me of the end of The Little Mermaid, when Ariel emerges from the water all slow-like. I love how fresh this cover is, and Charlize Theron looks sexy and beautiful. Perfect hair- all over one shoulder, dress and look. 

Vogue UK: Interesting outfit with the rainbow pants and balloons. I'm not sure what to think about the font chosen for "Celebrate!" but I like the overall concept here. Gisele is a bombshell, as usual, and a good model to use for any kind of celebration cover.

WINNER: Vogue US for me. Though both are very nice.

December Nights

Since I've been such a bad blogger lately, I thought I would treat you all to my "favorites" this December-- also how I'll be spending my time during winter break. College finals are kicking my butt right now, so this is what I'm looking forward to. Also, if any of you guys get bored during Christmas break, look up some of this stuff!
Christmas is the most magical time of year, obviously, and I hope all you wonderful people have a fantastic holiday season. More varied posts are coming your way with the new year (hopefully!), but in the meantime... MERRY CHRISTMAS!
