Carolyn Bessette: The Love Story We Can’t Let Go
Did we as a society move on too quickly from the Love Story series, or is it just me? The thought crossed my mind as I was scrolling through my phone and stumbled upon a video of Carolyn Bessette: before she was a Kennedy. Before the headlines, the photographs, and the public fascination, she was simply Carolyn: an enamoring, sharp blonde who just wanted to work in fashion. She was a woman of few words, who only craved the privacy of her relationship. Yet, the spotlight that


Confidence With Its Shirt Off: What Prada Just Bought.
