Guilty Pleasure: RHOBH

I was a die-hard RHONY fan, but now I've pledged my allegiance to the Beverley Hills cast.  More specifically, Lisa Vanderpump.  I love the advice she gives, her pink-obession, Cedric, but most importantly, Giggy! And the fact that we both force our dogs to wear the same mini-sombrero whenever the mood strikes us.  Can't wait for tonight's episode!

Breath of Fresh Air: Mademoiselle Agnès

Agnès Boulard, AKA Mademoiselle Agnes, is a French fashion journalist and major celebrity in France.  I  only discovered her a few months ago on the Sundance Channel hosting Girl on the Run (Habillées Pour) which covered 10 years of Fashion collections(2000 to 2010.)  Her fashion career began almost two decades ago when she worked for the French magazine 7 in Paris. She then took a job as a weather girl, but as time went on, her weather reports became more and more fashion-centric.  In 2001, she started her own company Lalala which reports on Haute Couture and fashion.  Although she is an expert on all things fashion, she also isn't afraid to embrace the comedy of it all.  Hilarious and eccentric, it is only a matter of time before she is big in the States.  Enjoy some photos below of the utterly FRENCH sense of style of Mademoiselle Agnès.  

You can check out how much fun Agnes is here, on Full Frontal Fahsion.

"There will never be another Camelot" -JBKO

It was announced over the weekend that the 8 hour miniseries about the Kennedy Family that was set the air on the History Channel this Spring now will not.  There were not a lot of details released only that the History Channel decided that this version of the legendary clan did not fit in well with its brand, however rumors have been swirling over the weekend that Caroline Kennedy was not happy with the interpretation and lobbied to have it pulled.  With Katie Holmes playing Jackie, I was curious to see if she could pull off her breathless voice and innate style on screen (Truthfully, I am more than a little doubtful...) Until then, here are some photographs of the former first lady to tide me over until Darren Aronofsky releases his version with Rachel Weisz.

I've never seen this before!

I love how relaxed and happy she looks here.  This was taken in her Georgetown home in 1959. (Image from dailydivadish.com


If you are looking for a biography of Jackie, I have read several and found Sarah Bradford's America's Queen: A Life of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis to be by far the best.  You can purchase it here:
