Fashion Friday: Get Classy with Ann Taylor

Aren't the Ann Taylor ads with Kate Hudson just the definition of class act? For months now, I've found my attention constantly being drawn to the large printed ads while shopping in malls. The ads have a beautiful layout and it's refreshingly different to see Kate Hudson in such a Upper East Side attire, instead of her usual boho chic appearance. Needless to say, I was thrilled to see Kate's continuation as the spokeswomen for Ann Taylor's Fall 2012 ad campaign.

Whether it's due to her performances in the most entertaining romantic comedies or her role as Penny Lane in Almost Famous, I've always had a soft spot for Ms Hudson. Like her iconic mother, Hudson represents the image of an ageless beauty, which is perfect for the brand. Kate gracefully embodies the timeless yet relatable elegance that Anne Taylor reflects, making the ad collaboration a perfect fit.

"As a young girl, I looked up to the sophisticated style of Ann Taylor, so it's been very cool to see how the brand has evolved to meet the changing needs of modern women."

Fashion Friday: We'll Always Have Dior!

Oh Dior, can you do no wrong?! In a stunning new shot from her second Dior Campaign, Mila Kunis looks gorgeous while channeling her inner Jackie O. Dior has nailed the Hollywood glamour look perfectly just like the brand has done before with previous spokeswomen, Marion Cotillard and Charlize Theron. There's nothing simple about choosing a classic black and white setting with such diverse starlets at the center of these campaigns. Love how Dior continuously celebrates iconic tradition with a nod to modernity!

Dolce & Gabbana's Battle of the Sexes

Recently, Dolce & Gabbana released their Fall/Winter 2011/2012 Campaign. From the minute I saw it, I was fixated with the advertisements. The fashion brand used all females to model off the feminine AND masculine outfits. The metallics and bedazzled items are stunning against the gritty backdrop. The campaign perfectly reflects the wildness of the collection, which includes vibrant colorful outfits, as well as classic toned down looks. I love that Dolce & Gabbana's new campaign showcases their collection in a different way from their previous ads. The subtle approach is beautiful!
