I was so sad to hear the news that the beloved style icon and actress Elizabeth Taylor has passed. With one look at these photos and quotes from her very own lips, there is no doubt that she was one fabulous lady!
I never planned to acquire a lot of jewels or a lot of husbands. I have been supremely lucky in my life in that I have known great love, and of course, I am the temporary custodian of some incredible and beautiful things.
Big girls need big diamonds.
It is strange that the years teach us patience; that the shorter our time, the greater our capacity for waiting.
Some of my best leading men have been dogs and horses.
I fell off my pink cloud with a thud.
I adore wearing gems, but not because they are mine. You can't possess radiance, you can only admire it.
I've been through it all, baby, I'm mother courage.
I suppose when they reach a certain age some men are afraid to grow up. It seems the older the men get, the younger their new wives get.
If someone's dumb enough to offer me a million dollars to make a picture, I'm certainly not dumb enough to turn it down.
I feel very adventurous. There are so many doors to be opened, and I'm not afraid to look behind them.
My mother says I didn't open my eyes for eight days after I was born, but when I did, the first thing I saw was an engagement ring. I was hooked.
I am a very committed wife. And I should be committed too - for being married so many times.

Rest in peace, Elizabeth Taylor. You will always be remembered for your stunning style and your gorgeous jewels!

beautiful tribute, my friend...
i can only imagine her entrance through the pearly (and diamond?) gates, reuniting with the many loves of her life...
such lovely photos and memorable quotes!
so fitting to memorialize her in black and white, too!
She was truly loved and will be truly missed. Rest in peace, Liz.
It's hard to believe she is gone.
What a lovely way to say goodbye. I have started a mission to watch all of her movies in 2011 and have created a page to chart my progress. Please have a look! xoxo
