each year, VOGUE's september issue is the fattest magazine on news stands everywhere; jam packed with page after page of advertisements, editorials and articles dictating what the coming year will bring in fashion.
here are a few images that popped out at me:

cover girl halle berry looks gorgeous (as always) - but isn't she a little irrelevant? she's been MIA for years! she killed it in such movies as
monster's ball and
swordfish and was seen all over the place!
catwoman knocked her down a few pegs and after that disaster of a movie she propelled into mama mode after the birth of her daughter nahla. <---- what in there screams VOGUE cover? nothing. moving on:

yay! right at the start two ads had me jumping for joy- yet another GO international line with a designer label at target is on it's way! as well as a collaboration w/ alexa chung at madewell!
i love nothing more than affordable fashion. and these are prime examples of just that :-)

the beaded pucci mask in this neiman ad is to die for.


marc jacobs and christina ricci, mk & a, karlie - too much to handle.
obsessed.


the color pallet in this editorial was flawless.
the way that orange was used w/ black and white w/out creating a halloween vibe is astounding.
the lace, the sheer, the leather - all of it is brilliant.

and i end with this simple MOSCHINO ad, which i for some reason am absolutely in love with.
so simple. so italian. so chic.
