Hello September Issues

You all know I'm a full on magazine geek, so for me September is like Christmas as the glossies all go supersized. The UK issues always seem to come out a week or so before the US publications, so although it's only the 2nd of August the September covers are all out in the UK.
Matthias Vriens-McGrath photographed Emily Blunt for UK ELLE this month, and she looks wonderfully vampy in Valentino lace. Over at Vanity Fair Lady Gaga was photographed by Nick Knight (the US edition has the same cover) and I am super excited for this issue. I'm not a huge Gaga fan but I adore this cover and I think it could become a bit of a collectors item too.

Vogue UK went down the predictable route and chose Kate Moss (photographed by Patrick Demarchelier) for their September issue. I love the image of Kate in the Burberry pea coat. Alexandra Shulman, UK Vogue's editor, explained to the Guardian earlier in the year why they tend to stick with Kate for September, saying:
"Kate Moss sells well for us but then we tend to play to our strengths and put her on the September cover – it's better to use your ammunition on a big issue rather than battling against a difficult seasonal situation."
And finally, fellow supermodel Gisele Bundchen covers UK UK Harper's Bazaar. I don't buy UK Harper's nearly enough so I'm going to make sure I get this issue. You can't go wrong with a bit of Gisele can you? And the Cedric Buchet photos look gorgeous.
I can't wait to see the US covers now...

Which is your favourite UK September cover?

Emily

ELLE UK have given Emily Blunt a well deserved September cover and I love it. You can't go wrong with a bit of black lace for the September issue, can you? And it's great to see a new face on the cover.
I'm a big fan of Emily, not just because of The Devil Wears Prada but also Sunshine Cleaning, which I enjoyed a lot more than I expected too. I still haven't got round to watching The Young Victoria but it's on my 'must rent' list as I think Emily is a fantastic actress. I laugh just reading this line of hers from TDWP:

"I'm on this new diet. Well, I don't eat anything and when I feel like I'm about to faint I eat a cube of cheese. I'm just one stomach flu away from my goal weight."

As an ELLE subscriber I got my copy today. The newstand edition is out on August 4th. 

What do you think of Emily's ELLE cover? A good choice for September?
