Tragic Love.

I love her. Her with him was just dynamite. Her stye was timeless with a touch of the severe and always memorable. It's a shame we never got to see what would have happened with this couple.

After watching the SAG Awards last night I turned to TLC to watch Kennedy Home Movies, two hours of just that, a compilation of Kennedy movies from when JFK was a child to after Jackie married Aristotle. I was so fasciated I watched it twice! I came away so inspired by the innate style of the Kennedy clan that I wanted to post some of my favorite photos of the Kennedy/Bouvier women Jackie, Carolyn, and Lee.

The first lady learning to do the twist with Oleg Cassini in her sister Lee's London home.

Jackie at a dinner in Washington D.C. when she was still single. The arm to the left is JFK's.

Jackie as publisher.

Wild over Leopard.

And Warhol's muse Edie Sedgwick lounging on top of her leopard coat.

I adore leopard print and think anyone can pull off a touch of leopard in her everyday style, the trick is just to stick to one item of leopard. Over the years I have become a collector of animal print trenches and coats, but a leopard scarf or shoe is fabulous as well. Enjoy some images of leopard in interior design and fashion.

Jackie received this coat from Ethiopian Emeperor Haile Selassie during his visit to the White House in 1962. Concerned that Jackie would think the coat was too exotic, he placed two of these leopard inspirecd bracelets (below) into one of the coat's pockets. She absolutely adored both presents.
