The vibe is “everyday princess, just like you”: “I’ve always loved taking something pretty ordinary and elevating it, surprising people with moments that let them know I was really thinking of them.” To be fair to Meghan, she’s always been interested in the domestic arts. But at first glance of the show’s trailer, it isn’t fun-time recipe pusher and cocktail queen Ina Garten who comes to mind, but the uber domestic goddess Martha Stewart, she who parlayed a rich-lady Connecticut catering company into a billion-dollar empire of magazines, books, television shows and Kmart towels. open image in gallery Meghan is a fan of the so-called ‘beige rainbow’ aesthetic Both have transformed themselves into lifestyle brands, creating meaning and purpose through slow-simmered casseroles, organic cauliflowers, and artfully artless flower arrangements.
