Kate Hudson strikes a pose for Ann Taylor’s Fall Campaign

Ann Taylor has loved actress Kate Hudson’s previous campaigns so much, they have hired her as the face of their Fall 2012 Collection! This makes the 33-year-old the first celebrity spokesperson to grace the brand’s campaigns for three consecutive seasons.

“I am really excited to continue as the face of Ann Taylor for another season,” said Hudson. “My experience with the Ann Taylor family has been collaborative and fun and that means everything to me. Everybody truly believes in the brand and they are doing amazing things! The fall collection is incredible. I feel like I have been really lucky to be a part of it – it’s a really nice, wonderful family that I’m proud to represent.”

So let’s talk about the looks we can expect to see starting in mid-August in Ann Taylor stores nationwide and on www.anntaylor.com:

Ann Taylor Fall 2012 Fashion Looks modelled by actress Kate Hudson

One of my favorite things about shopping at Ann Taylor is that I can find age appropriate pieces that are affordable and work from day-to-night. These pieces modelled by Hudson represent the 30-40 something professional woman who wants to look fashionable at work but comfortable and sexy while grabbing a drink with the girls during Happy Hour.

Any of the three looks above would also work for a date, business dinner, or “just because.”

Kate Hudson for Ann Taylor Fall 2012

There is no denying that Kate is a Hollywood star in her own right, but for those of us who aren’t, this jacket will do the trick! Paired with that voluminous hair and sparkly jewels, ladies can turn heads and have paparazzi doing a double take!

This dress proves that animal prints are here to stay! This lady-like dress will help bring out your inner wild cat albeit in a classy way.  The features I like best are the belt cinching in the waist as well as the longer sleeve and hem length perfect for cooler fall weather.

In Kate’s final look released for preview, we see a more casual side to the collection.  She is wearing a bright pink, button-down top paired with an animal print skirt (same pattern as dress above) and patent leather belt.  For the days that you don’t want to be dressed to the nines, this chic look will help you browse the shops in style, kick-back during Casual Friday, and even make you look dashing while picking up the kids at school.

I love that Ann Taylor has not shied away from bright colors and patterns for the fall!

And since the retailer counts First Lady Michelle Obama, Angelina Jolie, Diane Kruger, Katie Holmes, Heidi Klum, Naomi Watts, Milla Jovovich, Rachel Bilson, Jessica Biel, Halle Berry, Jessica Alba, Jennifer Morrison, Tina Fey, Olivia Wilde, and Sofia Vergara as fans, you can bet you will be in good company during the upcoming season.

Which is your favorite look?

Kate Hudson and Matt Bellamy welcome the fall in London

Kate Hudson and Matt Bellamy are not having much luck dodging paparazzi across the pond! The new parents were spotted departing from breakfast in London, England on Thursday, September 15th, 2011.

Dressed in a distressed leather jacket and bright yellow and green scarf, Kate looked absolutely fabulous in her post-baby bod which she showed off in a sexy gown this week to celebrate Stella McCartney’s birthday. Bellamy also rocked a leather jacket with a fun pair of red sunglasses during their walk home.

But the most interesting accessory carried by the Muse frontman is his cellphone emblazoned with the Union Jack on the back. I don’t think the presence of photographers is making this pair happy at all.

Kate and Matt welcomed their first child, son Bingham Hawn Bellamy in July.

Kate Hudson & Victoria Beckham: Busy Baby Weekend!

Some serious Hollywood royalty was born over the weekend in La La Land!

Kate Hudson, who decided to keep the sex of her child a mystery until it was time to push, gave birth to a healthy baby boy on Saturday night in Los Angeles. The baby is her first child with fiancé Matt Bellamy of Muse and now a little brother to Ryder, her son with ex Chris Robinson.

The couple is reportedly planning to spend time in London while Bellamy is working on his sixth album. While there has been no report yet on the baby’s name, I’m leaning towards something gender neutral or even foreign. Perhaps an old family name of Bellamy?

Another powerful mommy also gave birth this weekend. David and Victoria Beckham welcomed a baby girl on Sunday in a Los Angeles hospital.

The hunkie soccer star and proud new daddy even took to Facebook announcing the name of their newest addition: Harper Seven Beckham.

“I am so proud and excited to announce the birth of our daughter Harper Seven Beckham,” the soccer star wrote.  ”She weighed a healthy 7lbs 10oz and arrived at 7.55 this morning, here in LA. Victoria is doing really well and her brothers are delighted to have a baby sister.”

Baby Harper joins big brothers Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz.

Congrats to the Hudson/Bellamy’s and the Beckham’s!

Sarah Shahi and Kristin Cavallari spring forward in white

We are smack dab in the middle of Spring and stars like Sarah Shahi and Kristin Cavallari are stepping out in beautiful white outfits to set the tone of the season. The duo were spotted looking extremely fashion forward at the Something Borrowed Premiere held at The Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, California on Tuesday, May 3rd, 2011.

Shahi, star of the newly renewed Fairly Legal on the USA Network, wore a short, sleeveless dress with a decorative zipper running vertically in the center. And don’t think we didn’t notice that plunging neckline girl!

She finished the look with a pair of tan and black wedge sandals and turquoise ring. Not to mention the finest accessory of them all, husband Steve Howey from the Showtime hit, Shameless.

Newly engaged Kristin Cavallari walked the red carpet in a short, white tube dress with jewel accents aligned vertically up top. She completed the ensemble with a pair of fuchsia wedge sandals she designed for ShoeDazzle (availble May 16th!) and her stunning engagement ring from fiancé, Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler.
