Remembering Jackie: An Icon Was Born

Today would be Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis' 82nd birthday, so I thought I'd share some of my favorite images of this enduring icon.

Here she is getting ready to throw the bouquet at her 1963 wedding to John F. Kennedy:

The former first lady was known for her style, grace and poise, even during the most tragic of events.

Here's a pensive Jackie donning her signature pearls:

She never seemed happier than when she was with her children. Here she is with John-John (and more pearls):

Want to get her look? You don't need a trust fund to afford these Jackiesque items:

Do you have a favorite image of Jackie O?
