Fashion Fridays: Ann Taylor Holiday

Love the black and white sweater on the left and the black peplum top with the orange belt on the right.

I don't often think Ann Taylor (AT) as super fashionable, but a few years ago, AT hired the head designer away from Club Monaco.  The last few collections have really been on trend, feminine,and fitted.  Since I have been covering entertainment news non-stop with my radio spots and SheKnows gig, I came across the press release for their holiday line with current spokesperson Kate Hudson.  Not only did she look amazing after having a baby, the outfits were ideal for some of my on-camera work.  I literally bought a dress right off of her body.

There are a couple of other pieces I am eyeing, so I will post the photos here.  Weigh in with your opinion and let me know what you think.  And I'm including a little discount secret for you in case you would like to shop the Ann Taylor Holiday Collection:

Blue peplum top with a pink belt is hot.  I love the color of the shirt on the right, but I am not sure how I feel about the big back bow.  Might be too cute.  What do you think?

Can you say flawless?  Reese Witherspoon is in her second trimester and she looks glowing and beautiful as she arrives at the White House Correspondents Dinner as a guest of Newsweek/Daily Beast.  As I mentioned before in this post, Reese is dressed by Leslie Fremar who ranked number two this year on The Hollywood Reporter's Top Stylist List.  I don't have information yet on who the designer of the dress and jewels are, but stay tuned for a breaking update as soon as I have the inside scoop.  By the way, the top to this dress reminds me of another famous Nicole Kidman dress the year she won the Oscar for The Hours. The year was 2003 and the designer was Jean-Paul Gaultier.  Take a look at the similarities.  Nicole always leads the fashion way for the younger generation.

Here are my two runner-up choices:

Kate Hudson, who is styled by Rachel Zoe,  in a stunning sequined purple gown.  Uh, she had a baby 9 months ago.  Impressive.

Finally, one of my favorite actresses to interview, Leslie Mann.  She's just a gal you would like to kick back and have cocktails with because she's darn funny.  Her dress choice is a bit unexpected for the White House Correspondents Dinner, but I think it's the perfect spring gown-fresh, floral, and colorful.
