In Her Own Words.

Most people my age would know her by her sunglasses or maybe the pink suit or the pill box hats there moms might of told them about.  "She was a first lady during that Mad Men Show era right?" In a modern world where reality shows rule and discretion is old fashion.  Someone like Jacqueline Kennedy is a foreign entity. She never spoke in life publicly about the intimate details of her life and her remarkable moments as First Lady until now. 

This coming Tuesday on ABC, Diane Sawyer anchor's a 2 hour special with a glimpse into the official release of the 8 and half hours of intimate interviews of Historian Arthur Schlesinger Jr. with Mrs. Kennedy.  

I personally am beyond eager to get to know her more on a intimate level and have the privilege to understand the woman behind the iconic fashion. Get to know the woman, who loved books and history so much that she knew how important this oral history would be someday. 

In the meantime ABC has a wonderful page for anyone to see the Kennedy era in detail. The videos and images are sure worth the check out.  http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/Jacqueline_Kennedy/ and http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/Jacqueline_Kennedy/story?id=13639780 please on the second link watch the introduction from her daughter Caroline. 

Happy Wed. Love, C.

Grace & Jackie.

Hello:) I have to confess I wrote up this post after Mondays's Kelly Bag Tribute. Thought I would share this and Just Keep on the style roll this week with some Jackie and Grace today:) I love this Grimaldi visit circa 1961 for Lunch with The Kennedy's at the White House.  

Growing up as child of the 80's, I could of never asked for two better role models amongst a Debbie Gibson and Tiffany era of excess:) As a Girl, I loved how Grace and Jackie were the same age and both devout Catholics. Then Young women with independence and determination before Men, marriage and family defined there lives. But, now as an adult and in my 30's, I see admiration not so much in there perfection of fashion choices. But, the wonderful dignity they lived throughout there lives. True class.  

*Jackie with her Minimalism and pearls during the camelot years. Grace with her Hitchcock blond elegance as a real life Princess. PS The hat is daring:) 

I thought this random find would be fun to share too:

Inauguration.

50 years ago...

She walked outside into a bitter cold evening, warmed by our nation's celebration. Visit Life for a look back.

A Healthy Shift.

While busting a move as I exercise, I have been dreaming of this JMK vintage Dada Dress.

She rocks the shifts, Mrs. Kennedy would sure be a fan!

Happy Thursday Friends. Love, C.
