Kate Hudson for Ann Taylor Halter Top $68.00

I have a little bee in my bonnet this morning. Kate Hudson has “designed” a collection for Ann Taylor. I mention the word design with quotations because I see little if any design or creativity in the collection itself. First of all it’s all white. O.K. I will give her the benefit of the doubt that she wanted a fresh summer inspired collection…BUT as far as putting actual pen to paper to design? How creative are we when our line consists of a basic tank top, flowing long skirt and a sheath dress. O.K. so the Sheath has a design detail in the back but it’s probably a knockoff from her mother Goldie’s closet from the 60′s. I’m sorr,y but I have such an issue when celebrities call themselves designers when in fact their line consists of  basic items that have been around since 1963.Celebrity ..yes. Clothing Designer…I don’t think so…

Kate Hudson for Ann Taylor Whisper Top $78.00

Memorial Day is right around the corner and one of my very favorite foods during the summer is watermelon. I can’t get enough of it. Watermelon not only tastes great but is low in calories It’s called Watermelon for a reason becasue most of it is made fo H2O. Talk about a win win!!!

Here are two beverages  (one with alcohol and one without) that would be perfect for a hot summer day or evening.

Watermelon Breeze

 

Watermelon Breeze * Recipe: 3 cups cubed chilled watermelon, 1 cup coconut water, squeeze of fresh lime juice. Ice if needed. Sprig of mint. Mix all ingredients in blender until smooth. Makes two servings, 90 calories each.

So here’s the “skinny” on looking 10 pounds thinner without a pair of Spanx or a 3 day cleanse..dress all in one color. Yes in dee-dee there’s nothing more slimming than head to toe in the same palette. Give it a go and don’t be surprised when people ask???Have you lost weight? Enjoy!
