JULY 2011 COVERS OF THE MONTH: Mega, Sense & Style & Wedding Essentials

Truly Divine! That's what MEGA Magazine is all about this July, with the amazing DIVINE LEE donning big, red hair on its cover - making this issue my choice cover of the month. Looking frothy with hints of metallics while lying on the floor, Divine is the black widow (in spiked heel-less platforms by Kermit Tesoro) out to be a staunch fashion idol. See what web this stylista has spun for the said magazine this month.

Second-placer goes to SENSE & STYLE with their front-worthy version of the new generation of Pinay top models. Call them cover girls, editorial chicks, runway kittens - these ladies are highly trained and are always ready to strike a pose: (top level, L-R) Pauline Prieto, Jessica Yang; (2nd Level, L-R) Michelle Panemanglor, Giselle Paqueo, Emerald Villahermosa; (3rd Level, L-R) Grendel Alvarado, Tina Marasigan & Samantha Lewis.

The month of June is usually the month for weddings, but why not be a July bride? WEDDING ESSENTIALS has the thickest issue ever, although I am more gasping for its simple yet wonderfully different bridal styling on the cover. Its unconventional use of big, pomeranian-like hairdo makes we want to walk down the aisle while looking fierce and gorgeous at the same time. Chos!
