The Bachelor, Season 14, Episode 2 (abc.com); Champagne and Purple Satin Strapless Pockets Cocktail Evening Party Dress by Hot From Hollywood (amazon.com)

OK, I’m not making any promises here – and the Possessionista is way better at this than me, I recommend e-mailing her for all your style stalking inquiries – but Jess left me a comment on this post asking if I knew where she could find the yellow dress Ali wore on the plane date in The Bachelor’s season 14, episode 2. And I did just a little bit of searching and found what (I think) is the exact dress. It’s by Hot From Hollywood, available at amazon.com for around $40 bucks (depending on color), and while I couldn’t find the yellow online, it gives yellow as a color option in the description, so I guess it’s out there somewhere… Anyways, it has pockets, ties in the back, and pretty much looks exactly like the one Ali wore.

**Update: See! I knew the Possessionista would find it!**

The Bachelor Season 14 Premiere (etonline.com); Alice + Olivia Cluster Sequin Racer Tank Dress $415.80-sold out (thehipchick.com)

OK, I promise this is the last Jillian style post I’ll put up. Well…maybe.

Although it was painful at times, I finally watched the premiere of The Bachelor last night. I was literally hiding under a blanket during moments because I was so embarrassed for some of the girls. The cheesy gimmicks during the introductions at the beginning…wow, just wow. The one bright, sparkly moment in the show was when Jillian and Ed came on the show to interview the girls. Not only were they funny and cute and wonderful, but seriously, that DRESS. I’m in love. And it’s not with Jake or Ed or Jason – it’s with that sweet little sparkly number by Alice + Olivia. (And thank you, again, Possessionista for the info/link.) Yes, it is sold out. But there are so many other short, sequined tank dresses out there right now. Like this one, this one, this one, this one, this one, this one,  this one, you get the idea. :)

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!

“I have the dress Jillian wore at her last rose ceremony – juniors size 9, never worn, tags on . . . it came in 2 color ways, the one i have is blue, red and white. It is darling but i don’t have the cleavage for it ! Let me know “

So, if you’re interested in purchasing a dress worn by former Bachelor contestant, future Bachelorette Jillian Harris…comment back to Tracy!

It’s a short black flapper dress by bebe (see below) and can be found here. This is the video of the show with Jillian in the dress.

Using my mad investigative skills (reading interviews, blog comments, etc.), I HAVE found some of Jillian’s favorite stores, but I’ve still not hit the jackpot as far as finding her specific dresses. There are two major reasons for this: first, she said herself in an interview that she is a bargain shopper – and older/unknown designer duds are more difficult to find; secondly, she lives in Canada – so many of the stores and brands aren’t available in the States (and using Google.ca or eBay.ca are going to be more productive than their U.S. counterparts).

She said her dresses were from Aritzia(Canadian boutique that carries brands like Marc Jacobs, See by Chloe, Charlotte Ronson, etc.), Guess by Marciano and Forever 21. She also shops at Target.

On this blog, Maui Babe (#144 comment) said she owns the black dress with a sweetheart neckline and side zipper Jillian wore to the Robin Thicke concert on episode 2. She said it’s Wilfred, a brand carried at Aritzia. Below is the photo…unfortunately, I could not find a photo of the dress online.

Jillian from The Bachelor

So one of the girls from The Bachelor, Jillian, is from Canada and on last night’s episode she took the bachelor to Mission Hill Winery in Kelowna! Check out my post on my trip to the same winery by clicking this link.
