COVER GIRLS: AUGUST 2011.

Happy August!! Happy Birthday to all the Leo's out there.. Cancer season is over so I guess you can have your time to shine now haha. Check out this month's cover girls bringing some extra summer heat to your nearest newsstand. 

• In this month's Cosmopolitan mag, Kim K dishes tips on how to keep the spark in a relationship.. even from a distance. She also talks about what brings out her inner sexy and her biggest fears.

• Cover Queen B can be seen in Complex magazine's August issue.  With her latest album 4, it seems like B is pushing her career in bold new directions, and I've got to say.. she's really putting in work which makes her the perfect person to cover the annual Style & Design issue, where we showcase all the cutting edge developments in Complex's world. Here's a sneak at the magazine spread.

 

• Last week I had the pleasure of seeing Ms. Rhi Rhi in concert and as expected, she shut the place down. She has come a long way vocally and performance wise and I'm sure her best is yet to come. She's been gracing so many covers recently, it should be no surprise that she's on this month's Glamour ♥ .  Rockin' a Dolce & Gabbana top and pants, the cover girl opens up about being a role model, having haters vs. perfection and her sense of style. Get your copy Aug. 9th!

• If you've gone to the movies lately, you've probably seen the preview for the movie "The Help" staring Viola Davis and can't wait to see it. Yeah, I totally know the feeling.. me too haha. She looks great on the cover, somewhat unrecognizable in that polka dot halter dress actually. Can't wait to read. 

• Sarah Jessica Parker, our Sex & the City sister is looking rather radiant in Burberry this month on the August Vogue cover. Inside the mag, she shares her love for fashion, playing our beloved Carrie Bradshaw and being a workaholic!

• This month's InStyle cover girl is actress Katie Holmes. Looking magnificent in magenta, the 32 year old shared with readers how she balances both career and family.

 “In our family we have a policy: we make it work. We Skype, and we try not to go for a week without seeing each other. We’re also very good at setting up camp wherever we go.”

•  On Newsstands now is the new GQ magazine with Co-star of the hot new release "Friends with Benefits", Mila Kunis on the cover. When asked her feelings on the friends with benefits phenomenon, Kunis responded: 

 “It’s like communism - good in theory, in execution it fails. Friends of mine have done it, and it never ends well. Why do people put themselves through that torture?"

• 30 year old pregnant actress, Jessica Alba is on the cover of this month's Allure Magazine talking about motherhood, accepting her new body type and getting engaged at 18 *gasp*.  Sounds really interesting!

PLUS SIZE REMIX: RIHANNA.

Plus Size Remix: Rihanna by TheJuicyJournal featuring white pants

My last post which briefly recapped my most and least favorite outfits from sunday night's Billboard Awards featured Rihanna wearing an all white Max Azaria pantsuit which I absolutely adored! Being that I was obsessed, I had to do a Plus Size Remix of the outfit. I've paired it with rose gold accessories, nude platform heels and a red satchel because I'm sure most of you don't have Rhi Rhi's flaming red hair but I loved how the color popped against the all white. Hope you love it as much as I do!

BILLBOARD AWARDS: THE CUTE AND QUESTIONABLE.

As we all know, the billboard awards were on last night and it was actually quite entertaining. From Rihanna's sensual performance of "S&M" to Beyonce's electrifying "Run the World (Girls)" performance and hubby shoutout ♥, there was much to talk about.. or in my case tweet about! (Follow me @TheJuicyJournal) Check out some of my favorite looks from last night.. the cute and the questionable.

CUTE.

Rhi Rhi in Max Azria White Pantsuit

I loved this outfit on Rihanna.. I thought it was so chic and very spring 2011! Paired with those red bottom nude heels, plunging neck line and fiery red hair, she is certainly making a statement *finger snap*

COACHELLA FESTIVAL 2011.

Last week there was a lot of internet buzz about the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. This festival has been active since 2001, which is pretty crazy to me since I had never heard of it until this year. If you're a loyal fan of this festival, you may say I've been living under a rock...and maybe I have (I'll just blame my lack of knowledge on my college coursework haha)  but if you were like me and aren't too hip, allow me to break it down.

The Coachella Festival is a three day affairs organized by Goldenvoice, and held at the Empire Polo Fields in Indio, California. The event features music genres ranging from indie and electronic to soul and alternative rock in addition to huge art structures. There are several different stages and separate locations for camping/tents set-up throughout the grounds, each playing live music continuously. The festival itself is in a desert setting with temperatures often reaching highs of 100 degrees. In the evenings the temperatures drop making the festival an ultimate camping adventure. Mix that with some art sculptures and performances from your favorite artists and you're sure to have an experience of a lifetime.

Some performers from this year's Coachella Festival include: Kings of Leon, Robyn, Lauryn Hill, Cee-Lo Green, Nas & Damien Marley, Wiz Khalifa, Jimmy Eat World, Erykah Badu and Mr. Kanye West.

Amazing right? I know, and I'm jealous of every single person that was forturnate enough to be there. Maybe next year. ::sigh::

Enjoy the pics!
