In the coming days I will be posting on some of my favorite things from this past year. Although, on a personal note my year was well, not what I hoped, my other loves, fashion and gossip were on the up-and up! So without further ado one of my favorite magazine covers of 2008 was the February Elle cover with Jessica Alba. I think it was one of her best photos ever. She looks beautiful, happy, and sweet (and her dress is rad). I also particularly am fond of this issue because in the article Alba mentions the book, The Skinny Bitch, so I of course had to have the book, The Skinny Bitch, natch. Anyway, I read it and loved it! and have eaten so much healthier and have become an almost total vegetarian because of it. If you haven’t yet read this book guys, I seriously suggest you do. (But be prepared to only want to eat vegetables and water and afterwords).
