Swoon Over Style

As a slight history buff and through bumming some Netflix I have found myself fixated on the documentary The Kennedy’s. That era was so glamorous and with it their lifestyles. I found myself asking the question one that I have mentioned before, Jackie Kennedy or Marilyn Monroe? I AM HANDS DOWN A JACKIE KENNEDY. Don’t get me wrong, we all have our Monroe nights, but Jackie just oozes confidence and sophistication in a way all girls should try to channel.


She could often be found all glammed up in classic Givenchy sheaths in gorgeous knits, with oyster pearls and white gloves. According to Valentino, “Jackie Kennedy style was a mix of naturalness and sophistication, an outdoorsy kind of beauty”. But she isn’t all peaches and cream, you can also find her in bright cropped trousers, cat eye sunglasses with a Hermes pattered scarf. Not to mention, as an avid equestrian myself (takes one to know one), on occasion she accents her femme style with riding boots, saddle brown or a bit accessory. No matter how you slice it, Jackie Kennedy is a style icon that has withstood the test of time and with Hutton, Hepburn and Hall, will forever remain one of my style icons.

MAD about mad men

So just recently one of my besties suggested that i watch a show called mad men. She DID NOT steer me wrong, loves it. It is a sexy, witty drama filled with interesting people living in a mid-century night's dream. Mad Men is smart and tremendously attractive, and it stirs you more than it probably should (at least in my case). The clothes, cars and interior design seen on the show is equally as attractive. The 1960's fashion is so glamorous and intoxicating by capturing style and class of women such as Grace Kelly, Jacqueline Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe.
