The Weekender: Channeling Jackie O.

This Sunday, Katie Holmes takes to the TV as Jackie O., one of history's biggest fashion icons, in the miniseries "The Kennedys." So for this installment of The Weekender, we've put together a ladylike look inspired by the Camelot years.

Style tips:

Trench: Every woman should have a classic trench in her wardrobe. It's the ultimate, versatile spring transition piece. Wear it with punky leather shorts and a tee for an edgy look or, in this case, with a classic shift, for an elegant outfit.

Dress: The shift was a wardrobe staple for Jackie O. This Banana Republic version feels fresh, tapping into spring's lace trend.

Necklace: If traditional pearls feel a little costumey, consider a string with modern details like this one by Alexis Bittar. Strung with brown silk ribbon, it has freeform sterling silver touches.

Sunglasses: Large sunglasses were a Jackie O signature. These TopShop lucite-style shades add a little mod edge.

Watch: The only accessory more famous than her sunglasses was Kennedy's Cartier tank watch. This Bulova watch is a more affordable version of that shape.

Shoes: Round toe flats and pumps were a Kennedy shoe staple. Buying nude-colored flats and pumps help elongate the leg.

Handbag: If Kennedy were around today, she might carry a ladylike bag from Kate Spade. The nude patent leather is a great fit for spring, pairing well with the season's warm neutrals as well as its focus on color blocking.

I always liked the way Jackie talked......that baby voice was soooo cute. She sort of sounded like a cartoon character. I wonder if she always sounded like a baby or just sounded that way when on camera.

I bet Jackie could raise her voice when she thought John was sleeping with Marilyn or Judy or one of his other women. Then she probably yelled like a laundress from Pittsburg. Even the most feminine of us have to use our voices to raise a little hell every so often !!

Yes, she sounded like a little baby, she had good diction...My sister who grew up in that era said she and her friends never dressed like her because she was too conservative....they grew up like the play "Hairspray"...teased hair, alot of makeup, cat eyes, no lipstick....capre pants, tapered and sneakers...

Jackie O., did her share of dancing on tables at discos in Washington D. C.. She was young and the time was right for her to take over the Audrey Hepburn look.

Jackie talked like that because she came from a very wealthy New York family. Proper English dictates that you run all your words together. Its a symbol of class to say words like you really don't give a hang.

Kevin, Jackie talked like that to hide a speech impediment. Severe overbite, huge lisp and really heavy New England accent (born in NY and raised in NE. She talked in a girlish whisper from the back of her throat to mask the real sound. That's why she shied away from the press and public interviews.

I like her sunglasses. I'm a sunglasses fanatic and I think a pair of sunglasses is necessary for the day. It's so cool with the fantastic sunglasses and excellent outfits. I happen to know a good website here, http://www.tomfordsunglassess.com. They have many stylish sunglasses with fairly competitive price. I've bought one pair and they fit well on me. You guys could also go and have a look.:)
