Inspired by Bunny Mellon

For those of you who don’t know Bunny Mellon she is my inspiration and idol next to the one and only Jacqueline Kennedy (ironic because they were friends!). She is a philanthropist, art collector, and one of this countries most famous gardeners (she created the rose garden at the White House!). I also love that she spends time away from her 4,000 acre farm in Virginia, to be here on Cape Cod and Nantucket. That means I am holding out hope to meet her one day :) It’s inspiring people like this, that keep me striving to be better at my job, and a better person.

What Would Jackie Wear?

By now I am sure you know my obsession with Jackie Kennedy, I mean seriously how amazing is she? I blogged about her here and here and sorry kids, I am going to do it again! Some of my friends are getting engaged this year (yay), and that means lot’s of engagement parties. I have to ask myself, what would Jackie wear? Maybe something like this?

Are you going to a lot of engagement parties this year? Tell me about it!! What are you wearing?
