Love these photos of Grace Kelly snapped in March 1954, one month before she wed Prince Ranier III and became Her Serene Highness the Princess of Monaco. Isn’t the shape of her gown absolute perfection?

I found this old Life Magazine at a flea market recently and couldn’t resist scooping it up. Isn’t the cover lovely? I think I might frame it. It was published during World War II on February 1, 2943 and is fascinating to flip through. Nearly every article and advertisement pertains to the war, a testament to its dominance of the American way of life at this period. The cover story is about a young American naval lieutenant on a date with a “pretty, wellborn, refugee French girl in Casablanca.” The story follows them during their strolling through the Medina and along the shore. The pictures are timeless and give you a peak of Morocco in the 1940′s. Enjoy.
