Now that everyone's lives are somewhat back to normal (read: Fashion Month is over), perhaps we'll all have a little extra time to thumb through some of the stunning November 2012 issues of our favorite magazines.

This month's selection of images runs the gamut from colorful and sparkly, like Taylor Swift on the cover of Glamour, to clean, spare, and high-end — Aymeline Valade's cover of Vogue Japan, on which she wears a piece from Raf Simons's debut couture collection for Christian Dior, is a perfect example.

A look at all the covers revealed thus far here, in the gallery.
See Kate Moss's Bohemian Spring 2011 Longchamp Bag Collection
>> In addition to recent rumors of her engagement to longtime beau Jamie Hince, Kate Moss is continuing her long lasting relationship with another somebody — Longchamp. Her latest collection of bags for the brand, under the Kate Moss for Longchamp label, sees her foraying into more summery territory than previous collections — think oversized woven bags, satchels, plus her signature leather buckle bags. The lookbook, shot in Morocco by Alasdair McLellan, shows Moss in a groovy fringed 'do, sporting kaftans, wrap dresses, crochet tops, wide-legged trousers, and of course — her bags.

>> Watch the First Two of Love's 14 Original iPad Videos —In honor of its new iPad app — out on the iTunes store any day now — Love put together 14 original fashion films. The first two have appeared — below, Elle Macpherson shaking it as a '60s sweater girl, styled by Katie Grand and filmed by Sharif Hamza, and another of model Abbey Clancy, captured by Alasdair McLellan with a voiceover of things that she loves, can be seen here. Love plans to release one of the films on its website every week. [Style File]
Alberta Ferretti Goes With Classic, Clean Philosophy for Fall 2009 Campaign
>> Steven Meisel photographed Alberta Ferretti's Fall 2009 mainline campaign with books swirling around the lounging models — apparently models and books are becoming a thing — but Alasdair McLellan, along with stylist Vanessa Reid, masterminded the more streamlined Philosophy ads. They went with two relative newcomers for the London shoot: Bailey Barger and Auguste Abeliunaite, who is most well-known for her teary turn on the Jil Sander runway.
Lara Stone, Exposed, for i-D November 2008
>> Lara Stone is known for baring her breasts in most of her editorial spreads, inciting fanaticism in some and eliciting scoffs from others, but as she tells i-D in the November 2008 issue, she's tired of all the commotion: "Will you stop asking me questions about my tits? Oops sorry, but the world seems rather obsessed with them . . ." She graces the cover of the magazine, all chiseled cheeks, gap teeth and bleached eyebrows — no breasts in sight — but when the accompanying tagline reads, "Yes, I think I'm sexy," what does she expect?
The world's obsession started when Lara was young.
My mother tells me of when I was 10 or 11 and I would wear really tight, short skirts and crop tops. All the local men would wolf whistle and stop and stare, but I didn't realize why at the time.
But her mother did . . . and she wasn't sure what to do about it.
The first time she saw me naked she sent this whole long big email, that was sooo sweet. She had seen the pictures from Purple by Inez and Vinoodh of me, butt naked, in the studio. She was like 'Lara, if you don't want to do this, you can just say no, you can always move back home with us'. She's so sweet.
Even Fashion Goes Wink, Wink, Nudge, Nudge

A little bit of wink, wink, nudge, nudge seems to have overtaken the imagination of the populace from politics to fashion. Lara Stone photographed by Alasdair McLellan in November's i-D magazine has a bleary eyed heavy lidded wink on the cover. Now i-D is known for their winking covers but we can't help but think that a certain Presidential nominee's infamous winking spree will give even more relevance to the magazine's charming cover treatments. Now the question is which woman thinks they are sexy?
