2011 Favourites {top 10 glossy covers}

Last but not least of the 2011 Favourites are the top 10 glossy covers of the year. What makes an amazing glossy cover? It has to be bold, a little bit risqué, and of course, able to tell a compelling story.

Here are my top picks...

{one} Kate Moss: Vogue Nippon, January 2011

{two} Lady Gaga: US Vogue, March 2011

{three} Rihanna, US Vogue, April 2011

{four} Gwen Stefani, UK Elle, April 2011

{five} Giselle Bundchen: French Vogue, April 2011

{six} Alexa Chung: US Vogue, June 2011

{seven} Kate Moss: French Vogue, May 2011

{eight} Mila Kunis & Justin Timberlake; US Elle, August 2011

{nine} The Supers: UK Harper's Bazaar, December 2011

{ten} Isabel Lucas: Australian Vogue; December 2011

I think my favourite has to be the December issue of Australian Vogue with Isabel Lucas on the cover; not only does Isabel look serenely beautiful, this set against the minimalist shot and combined with the textured play on Vogue, makes for a striking effect.

Which was your favourite cover?

I hope you enjoyed the round up of the best of 2011! I'm now off to celebrate the start of 2012, which is set to be an extraordinary year, I just know it. 

Thank you so much for stopping by my little blog this year; I am enormously grateful for your support. I have some exciting things planned for the blog next year and and can't wait to share the next chapter with you!

 Have an amazing start to 2012!
