The Best of The September Issues: /Actress Yaya (DaCosta) Alafia for InStyle Magazine September 2013

Some things are worth the wait and it seems that digital magazines are beginning to get a lot like the mail when it comes to delivering them, but this fabulous editorial featuring Yaya (DaCosta) Alafia in the September issue of InStyle Magazine certainly makes up for it. I've seen several September issues and many have not lived up to the hype of their previous September issues. I have to give InStyle an A+ for theirs because everything looks better than their competitor's, to include content and editorials.

The Best of the September Issues: Issa Ray For Glamour Magazine September 2013

As I stated earlier, my digital September issues are arriving slowly to my in-box just as fast as they can publish them. I've seen the latest issue of Glamour magazine and was pleasantly surprised to see up-and-comer Issa Rae featured in their exclusive: "Look Who's Running Hollywood Now" editorial along with other's who are now setting the tone. I can't wait to see her new show that she and Shonda Rhimes has in store for us.

Cover Girl: Singer Kelly Rowland Essence Magazine-September 2013

Essence magazine covers have been on repeat with the same cover subjects year after year and it's refreshing to see Kelly Rowland grace the cover all by herself. I don't know which one I'll receive first: the one in the mail or the digital issue, either way, I can't wait to read it and see the rest of the editorial. It's Kelly's time to shine, so she better look deep within to bring it to the surface.

Those of us who follow Solange on her Tumblr have already seen the photos that she took while on vacation in Croatia, so this is like déjà vu for many of us. Anyway, she still looks lovely on the pages of The EDIT in this summery editorial.
