Jillian Harris’s New Joe Fresh Collection Is All About Effortless Style

October 04, 2021 at 08:37PM Jillian Harris started her day crying. Let me explain. Harris is the multi-hyphenate to end all multi-hyphenates. Former Bachelorette, current Love or List It Vancouver host, interior designer, author, Team Jilly founder and content creator, the mom of two can now add three-time Joe Fresh collaborator to her list of accomplishments. And it’s not hard to see why the Canadian brand keeps extending the invitation — Harris’s track record speaks for itself. In both 2019 and 2020, the famous “Jilly Jacket” sold out within 24 hours. “I walk down the street on any given day, and I’ll see somebody wearing one,” Harris says over video chat.

Aerin Lauder on Her Fall Favourites and Sultry New Fragrance

October 04, 2021 at 04:40PM One glance at Aerin Lauder’s Instagram and you get the idea she could advise you on how to bring a new level of sophistication to just about anything, including your travel plans, flower arrangements, and yes, even how to set your dinner table. We chatted with the beauty mogul (and granddaughter of cosmetics pioneer EstĂ©e Lauder) about her new fall fragrance, Cedar Violet, what puts her in the mood for the season, and her Thanksgiving menu hits. What made you decide that the new Aerin Lauder fragrance should invoke the spirit of fall? We actually started working on the fragrance about a year and a half ago and, as you can tell from my Instagram, I love flowers. My boys are always saying, “No more flowers on Instagram!” However, I really wanted to add a woody floral to…

September 29, 2021 at 08:32PM Leave it to Kate Middleton to show up at the No Time to Die premiere and steal the proverbial thunder from all its stars. For release of the fifth James Bond film starring Daniel Craig, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge graced us with their presence on the red carpet. While the film stars came to slay — Ana de Armas and LĂ©a Seydoux both sparkled in Louis Vuitton and Chopard, Daniel Craig donned a pink suede jacket, and Lashana Lynch wore a Vivienne Westwood ensemble — Kate Middleton outdid them all in a golden Jenny Packham gown.

But when she arrived at the Mission, she was stripped of her own clothes and her orange shirt was taken from her, never to be seen again. Webstad, a Northern Secwpemc (Shuswap) from the Stswecem’c Xgat’tem First Nation, is one of many survivors of Canada’s residential school system. In 2013, she founded Orange Shirt Day, recognized on…
