When we have been asked recently about our excitement around the engagement of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, the answer has always been a resounding yes. We’re thrilled that the couple are going to spend their lives together, and even more thrilled that as the largest and longest running Meghan Markle style blog out there, we’ve been able to share our excitement with people around the world through our blog, our media exposure and through getting to know our readers (Special shoutout to longterm readers Lauri, Patricia and Bertie!)
Another really exciting part of the excitement has been in meeting new friends as well, like Jamie Kan. Jamie is an incredibly talented artist from Vancouver, British Columbia who creates stunning fashion illustrations and whom we met through a charity event. We thought we might be able to combine Jamie’s artistry skills with Meghan Markle’s style and Meghan’s Mirror stylings to create something that would not only commemorate the royal engagement, but do something that makes a difference.
We are thrilled today to share with you a project we’ve been working on with Jamie that is near and dear to our hearts. We’ve created a collection of items featuring Jamie’s amazingly talented artistry that will be available for sale – with proceeds going to Ovarian Cancer research. We loved the idea of taking Meghan Markle’s style, combining it with a talented artist and translating it into making a difference to women around the world. It’s especially poignant for one of our co-Editors, Amanda, who lost a family member recently to the terrible disease.
I am so excited that I not only have a platform to share my passion and love for Meghan’s style with similar minded stylish women around the world, but for opportunities like this where I can make a difference in trying to create better outcomes for women around the world, this time in honour of a family member lost to the horrible disease that is ovarian cancer. – Amanda
The collection is now available through the Effervescence Media shop, and we hope that you love the collection as much as we do. You can also check out more of Jamie’s art on her incredible website, and we’re sure that you’ll fall in love with it – and her – as much as we have. Here is a mock-up of one the prints which Jamie has made available, available as prints or on a variety of merchandise like phone covers, tote bags and – our favourite – adorable mugs.
Thank you to all our readers, new and old, for your continued support. We are so grateful to you for reading, for sharing and for going along this exciting journey with us.
xoxo,
The MM Team
What a wonderful collaboration!!! I’m so excited for you and Jamie!! I can’t wait until I get home and can peruse the collection!
What an exciting venture for you and congratulations on bringing it about. The line drawings are beautiful and so tasteful. They really stand out from the usual quality of engagement memorabilia.
It’s been a real eye-opener for me to learn how big your site has become, and here was me dropping by for a bit of peace and quiet away from sites with much more busy comment sections. I’ve always preferred your layout and the clarity of illustration and am delighted to find myself in such good company.
And I’ve hunted high and low but can’t find another Bertie on the site so am amazed to think you might have been talking about me. I feel quite guilty as I feel I’m something of a late-comer to the party, but it’s very sweet of you to give me a shout-out.
Love The Collection!!! Would it be possible to design phone cases for Samsung J5//J7 etc? Pleeeeeaaaasee
