Forever 21 Pleated Windbreaker Jacket (left), Jillian via abc.com
As I wrote here, Jillian’s olive green raincoat is Talula from Aritzia. But since I have about a million gazillion requests for this jacket – and it isn’t available anymore – I thought I’d point out a close match.
Forever 21′s pleated windbreaker jacket might not be the same color as Jillian’s, but the style and fabric is almost an exact match. Hope this helps!

I have a lot of thanks in this post! Thank you Possessionista (and ABC) for the image of Jillian above, Aritzia for the jacket images/info, and Stephanie for the comment that the specific jacket Jillian wore is TNA, from Aritzia. If you’re lucky enough to have a local Aritzia, stop by to check out the Wilfred or Talula jackets above, or if you’re 6+ hours away from one (like me) give a U.S. location a call to special order one.

I had to do just one more piece from the next episode…specifically, the dress Jillian wears on the hometown date with Kiptyn here in my neck of the woods! I knew this one because way back a few months ago when I (finally!) got to the Aritzia in San Jose, I tried this little Wilfred dress on. I loved the sweetheart neckline and the removable straps…but alas, they didn’t have one in my size.
**Update: Thanks Aritzia for the dress image! And thanks Possessionista for the ABC image of Jillian in last night’s episode!**
Come back Ed!
I put up a page (it’s right next to my “Art” page…or you can just click here) with a list of all the Jillian pieces I’ve posted thus far, and I will be adding to it till the end of the show. Now you can find what you’re looking for in one easy-to-find spot. Thanks for visiting!

It’s true. Notice the photo on the far right of me taken May 2008. That is one of two floral cashmere cardigans from Lucky that I’ve had for years. Many years. And I still love and wear them. So I was very delighted to see Jillian in an adorable floral cardigan (yea I know I promised no more premature Jillian outfits…but I couldn’t hold back) on the upcoming hometown date with Kiptyn. The cardigan (correct me if I’m wrong) seems to be Forever 21′s rose cropped cardigan, which I found on a Canadian Web site from Feb., so that sounds about right, right? Besides the color, it looks dead on. Click here for a similar one on the U.S. site.

We did another girls night/happy hour (thanks Kenny!) yesterday evening over at Blanca in Solana Beach and it was DELISH. Fun fruity cocktails, gourmet popcorn, truffle fries and a good sport waiter (Mike? Matt?) made for a great little night. We didn’t want to intrude on a date over in the lounge/couch area, but next time we’re gonna have to grab those comfy seats (plus then our laughter will be a little further from the dining tables… 
). If you want the high-end dining experience without the outrageous tab, I would highly recommend checking out Blanca’s happy hour (every night from 5:30 to 7:00).

OK, so I know I’m getting a little ahead of myself here…but I figure posting this now will buy me some more time to find some of the pieces from past episodes. This is the rose ceremony dress from (I think) the next episode. And it’s much easier to get a hold of than some of the past gowns. Check it out, after the jump. (more…)
