Sarah Jessica Parker on Marie Claire's September Issue Cover

It’s pretty easy to tell from the past week that this is one of my favorite times of the year…Besides the weather (finally!) cooling down (and along with it the humidity) and the students going back to classes (freeing up a little beach space for me), this is the time for the all-important September issue.  I’ve been obsessing over this year’s cover girls: Jennifer Lopez for Vanity Fair, Anne Hathaway for Marie Claire UK, the EIGHT (yes eight) beauties for LOVE Magazine, Freja Beha Erichsen for the first non-Kate Moss cover for British Vogue, Kate Moss for US Vogue, which is being kept top secret, and, although not a girl, Jake Gyllenhaal for GQ Australia.

And a little SJP never hurt anyone!  We LOVE her on the cover of Marie Claire and in a Christian Siriano skirt inside (see picture below).
