What: Shorts will always be a favorite summer must-have but designers have given it a whole new role. It’s been transformed from being a laid-back wee
It happens every year around this time: whilst sitting at your gray cubicle, you start daydreaming of summer vacation, walking along the beach or strolling strolling across a cruise ship in the most beautiful summer dress (it’s okay to admit it; we have the same daydream).

What: TBF attended the Ann Taylor Summer 2011 Collection fashion preview.
What They Say: “Inspired by the artistry and architecture of Mexico, our May collection is a chic palette of white and soft shades of sandy beige mixed with iridescent accents and artisan embellishments…Our June collection is all about laid-back summer sophistication…Clothes take on a gorgeous fluidity and drape, and are sophisticated enough to wear out, but relaxed and comfortable enough to handle the heat.”

The Lowdown: Recently on the Kathryn Finney Facebook Fan page, we’ve had deep discussions in regards to whether or not one should “Spanx” it up during the warm summer months. Personally, I’m not a big fan of wearing the shapewear during the summer- it’s hot and the last thing I want to do is be “overly packaged”. Frankly, when it’s 100 degrees outside, cellulite be damned.
However, I do understand that you do need some “packaging” underneath summer’s flimsy cotton jersey dresses and Spanx is the best (but expensive) way to “package you’re goods”. Use the above coupon for free US shipping (and oh for international peeps, the Spanx does ship internationally).
