How lovely are these old photographs of Grace Kelly?  They were taken during a trip to Jamaica with her sister Peggy in 1955.  The photographer, Howell Conant, went on to become her official photographer as Princess of Monaco.  Such a timeless beauty.  Adding to the inspiration board…

    I couldn’t remember if I had stopped by to sing the praises of these photographs of Grace. I was so taken by this post that I bookmarked it, thought about responding repeatedly, and probably temporarily convinced myself that I had. I’m glad I checked. Grace was an amazing classic beauty. And these photos are incredible — what a brightness in her eyes.
