UPDATE: The folks at Jezebel recently libeled That Girl At The Party by trying to claim that I received a bribe from Ann Taylor in return for this post.  This is blatantly not true and legal action is being reviewed. It was presumptuous of Jenna and the editors of Jezebel to simply lump reviews and claim criminal activity on the part of bloggers without real knowledge of how they came to be at this event!  I was, in fact, invited by a colleague to the 5 to 9pm preview, not the blogger event.   As such, I was never sent the invite with the gift card incentive, nor was I given a gift card because I didn’t even know about them.  In addition in keeping with the FTC rules, I always state when I am given a product and review it.  As you can see in my blurb, I fully disclosed the look book and the necklace that Ann Taylor gave me in the gift bag!

I hate cold weather and always look forward to warmer climes.  But this year, I have an added urgency since I can’t wait to don the adorable pieces from the upcoming Ann Taylor Loft 2010 spring/summer season!  Last Wednesday, we were treated to a preview party featuring all their lovely dresses, tops, skirts, and accessories.  Held in the beautiful Industria Superstudio with tons and tons of yummy hor d’oeuvres and free flowing wine and champagne topped with a gift bag with a look book and a cute necklace: this was a preview done right!
