Enduring Icon

Grace kelly,  Demure elegance -That is the one word I'll use to capture her style.- She's a woman of understated beauty, and her accessories always reflected so, that she had a bag renamed after her. The infamous Hermès Kelly bag that is, was first introduced in the 1930’s and was originally named Petit Sac Haut à Courroies. Extremely fascinating! -- This month London's Victoria and Albert Museum showcases the spectacular wardrobe of the legendary actress turned princess in "Grace Kelly: Style Icon" (Apr. 17 - Sept. 26)  Hurry up, book your ticket! {mental note: Oh' man I wish I was back in London this month lol}

XOXO
