Jillian Giandurco

Jillian Giandurco is the Editorial Associate for Bustle, NYLON, and Elite Daily. Previously, she was a Lifestyle writer at Bustle, where she wrote about all things astrology, food, tech, home decor, and viral social media trends.

Jillian graduated from Emerson College in 2019 with a Bachelor's degree in Media Arts Production and a concentration in Writing for Film and Television. Some of her favorite topics to cover include tasty food hacks, cheeky astrology superlatives (she’s a Cancer, BTW), and the most WTF-worthy trends taking over your FYP.

Her BDG journey began in October 2021, when she was a Trending News and Experiences writer for Elite Daily covering everything from Starbucks secret menu items to popular TikTok trends. Prior to that, she worked in Scripted Development at Refinery29, as a social media manager, and as a food and fashion blog writer.

As a lover of pop culture, Jillian also runs her own newsletter, The Loftstyle, where she covers all the latest buzz-worthy celebrity news, and dabbles in essays, interviews, album reviews, and more. When she’s not writing about the latest viral trends, she’s probably either listening to or talking about Michelle Branch. She’s also teaching herself to knit, so any tips would be greatly appreciated.
