Girl Crush...Jillian Harris!

I know it has been a few weeks since I last posted and I apologize. Elizabeth goes back to school tomorrow and between the summer coming to an end, launching my Stella & Dot business and working full-time I am sad to say I just ran out of time! But have no fear...I AM BACK! I have so many thoughts on upcoming blogs that I am excited to bring to you so stay tuned...I promise you won't be disappointed.

My husband and I rarely watch the same shows on TV. This is mostly because I could watch an entire season of ANY Real Housewife's franchise or dive in at any moment to the Client List or MTV Challenge season (who doesn't love that show still?)! My husband on the other hand prefers the finer television in life...Sports and Family Guy. However there is one show that we can always watch together and that is LOVE IT OR LIST IT TOO. This leads to today's post about one of the hosts, Jillian Harris and how you can get her style for less!

I have a total girl crush on Jillian Harris! For those of you who don't know who she is she was season 5's Bachelorette. Not only is she Canadian (like me!) she is so pretty and relatable but she is an interior designer that can take and house and turn it into your dream home. If I were to ever be on Love It Or List It Too, there is no doubt in my mind that I would LOVE it! On top of being my total new Girl Crush she also has a killer style. It is super own to earth, relatable, but totally in-style. Today, I am going to take some of my favorite Jillian looks and show you how they can be styled for less. Let's go!

One of Jillian's staples in her wardrobe on Love It or List It are jean shirts. She wears them a lot with colored jeans and a pair of super cute flats (I am partial to leopard print!). Seeing as she is always around construction on the show she needs to be comfortable and able to jump in at any time but at the same time be stylish! I created this look on Polyvore and I am loving it! 

Another one of Jillian's must haves seems to be oversized sweaters. Living in Vancouver this is a given. It gets cold, and while cold weather usually means bundling up and trying to stay warm that is not a reason to give up your style. I love oversized sweaters and cardigans in the fall and winter time. I like being able to wear one bulkier piece on top and a more slimming piece on bottom. I think the opposites balance themselves out and allow a relaxed yet pulled together feel. I created this outfit on Polyvore! I love the intricate design on the owl and the super cute pink flats! This whole outfit costs just over $100 and would you believe the shoes are the most expensive purchase?

Finally, it seems like Jillian is always wearing scarves and I for one could not be happier. These four scarves are all from Stella & Dot's fall collection and I am obsessed with all of them. Scarves are the perfect accessory and no one does it better than Jillian Harris! They can be worn so many ways and come in so many different colors and patters that an outfit should never be boring again! Check out these scarves on my Stella & Dot site. I promise you wont be disappointed! Also I will be doing a scarf trying tutorial soon so be on the lookout.

What do ya'll think? Is Jillian Harris your new girl crush? Is her style totally on point for the stylish girl next door? I sure think so. Tune in to Love It or List It Too every Monday on HGTV. Until tomorrow...

Love Always,
Katie
