Ever wonder what how the story of Romeo and Juliet might have played out had instead of dying, they defied their families and eloped? If this engrossing memoir is any indication, happily ever after might have proved elusive. The Romeo here is Cornelius “Neily” Vanderbilt (a great grandson and the heir-apparent of the legendary Commodore). His star-crossed lover is the beautiful and gregarious Grace Wilson. They married against the wishes of his parents—a mystery since Grace was from a charming but respectable family (albeit with a reputation for social climbing). Partially disinherited, Neily and Grace still manage to live lavishly, and Grace, through sheer force of will, gradually became the Mrs. Vanderbilt of her generation. With mid-20th Century hindsight, their son, Cornelius, Jr., fascinatingly relates this Gilded Age story. Relying memory, personal records and family archives, he makes the case that his Vanderbilt grandparents were correct; Grace and Cornelius were not well suited. This English edition has a catchier title than its American counterpart and the better dust jacket illustration, featuring the massive malachite vase at 634 Fifth Avenue, the vast Vanderbilt chateau, which Neily and Grace inherited despite their ostracism (courtesy of an irrevocable trust). The author is their son, who became a journalist and author.

Pairs Well with the Davids Bridal Dark Green
Me and my husband were bridesmaids and groomsmen in a wedding. The vest was nice. It has a good color. At first in the packaging it looks darker but once you pull it out its lighten. I was wearing the dark green thats from davids bridal and it pairs very well with it.

Can’t be beat for the price
Size: XX-Large, Color: Blue
Can’t beat it for the price, I was at super fancy NYE party. Lots of guys in very expensive jackets asking me where I got mine, this jacket got tons of compliments and looked great in photos. Quality was higher than I figured it would be for this price point. Go one size up, I am normally an XL, I ordered XXL and fit perfect.
