Major Bite: January Magazine Covers Wrap-Up.

JUST A TASTE OF WHAT 2008 IS GONNA BE LIKE.....
Okay, so I've been stalking the newsstands like a crazy ex impatiently waiting for the January magazine covers to drop! I must report that I've been pretty impressed with what I've seen as yet. My favorite cover so far has hands down been Victoria Beckham on the cover of ELLE. I was so ecstatic I almost knocked an old lady over just to grab my hands on this issue simply because Mrs. Beckham graced the main page. (Okay that didn't really happen i kid, i kid! lol) I must say she killed it like it was nobody's business on the inside editorial pics - serving up nothing but high fashion! Look for yourself. She should really consider becoming a model full-time especially after she murders those upcoming Marc Jacob Spring Ads! In for a close second, was Mrs. Cruise, I mean Katie Holmes. Man, I remember when she was just tomboyish old Joey from Dawson's Creek. Even though that was just her character, Katie didn't really shy too far from Joey's sense of tomboyish looks in her own personal style. I guess when you marry someone like Tom Cruise, you get an automatic upgrade in the fashion factor. I can't hate because she is doing it! Her look is so polished and classic. That's what I love about her, Katie does her own thing & doesn't rely heavily on what's trendy! The other covergirls of the month include: Hilary Swank (who's cover SLAYS by the way, OMG) on the cover of W Magazine, Hilary Duff covers Cosmo, Alicia Keys blows things up in Giant Mag, Kate Hudson flashes that gorgeous smile on the cover of Vogue & 2007's "It" Girl Rihanna looks fierce on Allure's cover. Ahem, am I the only one who is kinda over Rihanna? She did it HUGE this year but it's time for something new. What's next? We'll have to wait and see what '08 brings.

Extra Bite.....
Is it just me or are the magazine covers from overseas normally 10x better than the ones here in the US? lol. I mean like seriously, the Harpers Bazaar Japan Cover with JLO is beyond fierce! Whew.

THE JUICE: JACOBS & BECKHAM MAKE FASHION MAGIC.

THIS IS A MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN.

Marc Jacobs is one of my favorite designers. Victoria Beckham is one of my favorite fashionistas. So you can only imagine my uber excitement when I read with my two bugged out eyes that it was confirmed by Mr. Jacobs himself that these two amazingly fashion forward guru's were joining forces. Mrs. Beckham aka Posh Spice will be the lovely face of Marc's Spring 2008 Ad Campaigns. [ insert loud screams here ] I figured something had to be up - Mrs. Beckham was all over Marc's fashion week show back in September. I am so excited for this collabo. Victoria is so fierce with her fashion game. It's almost sickening. I just KNOW she rocked the AD's like only she could.

Marc on working with Victoria on the AD campaign photo shoot.

“She was a great sport. She agreed to do something rough and tough and quite raw. It wasn’t days and days of hair and makeup.” Marc tells WWD that the campaign, shot by regular contributor Juergen Teller, depicts Victoria amid giant Marc Jacobs gift boxes and shopping bags, an allusion to the marketing of celebrities. Turns out that Posh was game for anything, no matter how offbeat the idea seemed. The designer says that his favorite images show Posh popping out of a box or with her head buried in a shopping bag. “She was like, ‘I totally get it and I’m totally into it,” Jacobs said. “She has an amazing sense of humor about herself….She just gave herself over to it.”
