A poignant, evocative, and wonderfully gossipy account of the two sisters who represented style and class above all else--Jackie Kennedy Onassis and Lee Radziwill--from the authors of Furious Love.

When sixty-four-year-old Jackie Kennedy Onassis died in her Fifth Avenue apartment, her younger sister Lee wept inconsolably. Then Jackie's thirty-eight-page will was read. Lee discovered that substantial cash bequests were left to family members, friends, and employees--but nothing to her. I have made no provision in this my Will for my sister, Lee B. Radziwill, for whom I have great affection, because I have already done so during my lifetime, read Jackie's final testament. Drawing on the authors' candid interviews with Lee Radziwill, The Fabulous Bouvier Sisters explores their complicated relationship, placing them at the center of twentieth-century fashion, design, and style.

In life, Jackie and Lee were alike in so many ways. Both women had a keen eye for beauty--in fashion, design, painting, music, dance, sculpture, poetry--and both were talented artists. Both loved pre-revolutionary Russian culture, and the blinding sunlight, calm seas, and ancient olive groves of Greece. Both loved the siren call of the Atlantic, sharing sweet, early memories of swimming with the rakish father they adored, Jack Vernou Bouvier, at his East Hampton retreat. But Jackie was her father's favorite, and Lee, her mother's. One would grow to become the most iconic woman of her time, while the other lived in her shadow. As they grew up, the two sisters developed an extremely close relationship threaded with rivalry, jealousy, and competition. Yet it was probably the most important relationship of their lives.

For the first time, Vanity Fair contributing editor Sam Kashner and acclaimed biographer Nancy Schoenberger tell the complete story of these larger-than-life sisters. Drawing on new information and extensive interviews with Lee, now eighty-four, this dual biography sheds light on the public and private lives of two extraordinary women who lived through immense tragedy in enormous glamour.

Works great for me
Color: 06 - Black
I love the size of this purse. Not too big but big enough to hold what I need. The compartment for credits cards and drivers license works better than carrying a wallet. I'm really happy I purchased this. Works better than any designer bag and for a lots less money.

i love this purse!
Color: 06 - Black
this purse is small but super cute for everyday use, it has card slots on the inside so no need for a wallet, it is a tight shoulder bag and sits up higher by my armpit. it feels sturdy and not flimsy. good thick material as well. overall i definitely recommend if you need a small shoulder bag for everyday use!

Nice purse
Color: 06 - Black
This is a great little purse. Great size, sturdy. Love the guitar and smaller strap. The only thing I am a little annoyed with is that there is a big pocket on the inside (opposite of the card holder pocket) that sticks out too much and you have to push it back each time to get to the stuff in the middle compartment. Otherwise, it's cute.

This small purse can carry a lot
Color: 05 - Wine Red, Color: 05 - Wine Red
This small purse is not only very versitle but is holds a lot. It comes with two straps - one that can easily make the bag become a cross body and the other for hand/wrist holding. Both of these straps have the "fancy" metal loop attachments - i.e. just push the loop where you need it to go, and it will open, press to get "over" the connection and then the loop will close -you may wish to magnify one or some of my pictures to get a closer look at what I mean. The purse has a seperate front pocket for your phone or other item; with a magnitized clasp. There is also a zippered flat pocket on the other side of the purse for other items. The inside of the purse iteself has 8 slots for cards/ids - again you may wish to magnify my pictures to see this. Behind the flap for the cards, there is a pocket/section, which mirrors the other pocket section on the other side of the purse - plus you have the main area of the purse. You can even just make this a purse a clutch but not attaching either of the straps. Making this purse able to hold a lot and very versitile to adapt to/compliment any outfit.
