Jackie O We Miss You So!

Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis was an extraordinary woman! Her contributions to advancing the arts, her passion for history, the courage she displayed when faced with the tragic death of her husband, the hope she brought to a grieving nation, her devotion to her children, the beauty, grace and style she bestowed upon the highest office of the United States -- all are a part of the cherished legacy she left to the world.

Today, it's the glamour, the elegance, the irrepressible spirit, vitality and inimitable style that is top of mind. America's First Lady was Fashion's First Lady. An American icon of style and grace whose innate sense of fashion extended well beyond the clothes she wore on her back.

Jackie's simple yet classic style was effortlessly elegant. She favored clean lines, little adornment, and knew that less is always more. Her ever-present smile was a window to her dazzling inner spirit. She always looked so relaxed, so comfortable and so confident. Warm and approachable, chic and worldly, she possessed a vitality and radiance that still shines.

"We must give to life at least as much as receive from it. Every moment one lives is different from the next. The good, the bad, the hardship, the joy, the tragedy, love and happiness are all interwoven into one indescribable whole that is called LIFE. You cannot separate the good from the bad. And perhaps there is no need to do so either." Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis
