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...




{two} Lady Gaga: US Vogue, March 2011














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

  6. Australian Vogue has had some incredible covers this year - unlike international Vogues, which seem more concerned with celebrities than fashion.

  20. I like the 3rd and 4th ones, but I especially like the second to last one and agree with you that the last one is the best. I love the pattern they put in the font and her necklace is amazing.
    Hope you`re having a great 2012!
