Yes, maturity really suits her, for sure. She has a kind of "ugly ducking" evolution ( she was a chubby teenager, overshadowed by her mother and her brother, and an average young woman) from an accomplished woman, which smartness makes a true beauty.
Sorry for the english mistakes, but I'm a french girl!

She's the spitting image of Jackie in this picture!

Kennedy sell-off
Word from the Vineyard is that former first daughter Caroline Kennedy is quietly trying to unload some of her late mom, Jackie O’s Martha’s Vineyard property.
The real estate buzz on the Rock is that the family trust owns the 20-acre waterfont parcel on Menemsha Pond with two guest houses and a guest cottage that just went on the market. Caro reportedly wants something in the neighborhood of $20 million.

Who wants to make a comparison between her and Princess Caroline of Hanover ? I'd say that indeed Princess Caroline was never an ugly little duckling, but that Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg looks softer and sweeter in her public appearances than Princess Caroline does now. Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg has found a style that is becoming for her age, hair beautifully framing her fine-featured face, well-tailored clothes that bring her slim figure to perfect advantage and unobstrusively whisper "class". She looks like someone you'd want to have for a friend : poised, in control, approachable.
What does her daughter do ? How old is she and what is her name ? Why don't we ever hear about her ?

When I began assembling [this] collection, I was skeptical that I would learn anything new about Christmas, but reading and reflecting on the history and spirit of Christmas brought back many memories, and taught me a great deal … The literature of Christmas ranges from the miraculous to the tragic, the profound to the ridiculous, but always represents the connection to something larger than ourselves." –Caroline Kennedy
In A Family Christmas, Caroline shares the Christmas poetry, prose, scriptural readings, and lyrics that are most dear to her, drawing on authors as diverse as Harper Lee, Nikki Giovanni, Martin Luther King Jr., Billy Collins, John and Yoko, and Charles Dickens. There are also many lesser-known gems throughout and personal treasures from her own family -- including a young Caroline’s Christmas list to Santa Claus and a letter from her father as President to a child concerned about Santa’s well-being. This diverse and unique anthology will become a timeless keepsake, and will enrich your heart and mind with the spirit of Christmas.
A Family Christmas includes selections from:
Groucho Marx, Emma Lazarus, Mark Twain, Sandra Cisneros, Pearl S. Buck, Truman Capote, Gabriela Mistral, Ogden Nash, Clement Clarke Moore, Vladimir Nabokov, Marianne Moore, Calvin Trillin, E. B. White, and many more.

Jackie's weigh with Caroline
First-daughter Caroline Kennedy (now Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg) was a healthily rebellious teenager, but the only thing that bothered her mother, Jackie Onassis, was her weight.
"You're not going to order dessert, Caroline," Jackie O allegedly once sniped in a Paris restaurant, according to C. David Heymann's "American Legacy: The Story of John & Caroline Kennedy." "You're much too fat. Nobody will ever want to marry you."
An intervention by stepdaughter Christina Onassis earned Caroline a helping of cherry-flavored Jell-O, but without whipped cream on top.
"It's strange," a family pal, the late George Plimpton, allegedly told Heymann. "Jackie didn't like it when John [Jr.] drank or did drugs, but she didn't seem to care if Caroline got smashed on beer or stoned on grass. It was only when Caroline gained a pound or two that Jackie reacted."
Caroline once took the blame when a police officer found marijuana growing in Jackie's backyard at Hyannis Port, according to the book. "Although David Kennedy had harvested the plants," explains Heymann, "Caroline, attempting to protect her cousin, took the blame."
While Caroline's hookah heroism earned her an angry letter from her grandmother Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy, Jackie's temper wouldn't flare until Caroline's interest turned from grass to grazing.
"She had given her daughter a credit card for individual purchases under $100," writes Heymann. "One day, she saw a charge for two pounds of barbecued spareribs at Mr. Chow. After lecturing her daughter on the perils of excessive poundage, she canceled the credit card, but reactivated it when Caroline agreed to join her mother on jogs around the Central Park Reservoir."
A rep for Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg did not respond to requests for comment.
Heymann's next project? A book on Jackie O's alleged affair with Robert F. Kennedy after her husband's assassination.

POETRY OF CAMELOT; A KENNEDY FAMILY TRADITION [CAROLINE KENNEDY DISCUSSES HER NEW BOOK, ‘A FAMILY OF POEMS’]
GOOD MORNING AMERICA (ABC), April 12, 2006
DIANE SAWYER (ABC NEWS)
(Off-camera) It's National Poetry Month and here to celebrate is Caroline Kennedy with a magical new book. I said we were fighting over it all morning, we really were. It's called 'A Family of Poems: My Favorite Poetry for Children," full of poems that are old, new, silly, sad, and it's great to have you here.
CAROLINE KENNEDY (AUTHOR)
Thank you.
DIANE SAWYER (ABC NEWS)
(Off-camera) Good to see you. I love the tradition in your family at holidays. You gave your mother, your grandparents, poems. That's what the kids had to do, not gifts, poems?
GRAPHICS: A KENNEDY FAMILY TRADITION
CAROLINE KENNEDY (AUTHOR)
Right, not gifts, right. Well, we wanted gifts, but we gave poems, and I think it was, actually a great way of, of kind of encouraging us to read on our own and then getting such a wonderful reaction from the parents and my mother and my grandparents. Because we would either write a poem or pick out a poem and copy it over and make it into sort of a picture. And, and they saved them or framed them.
CAROLINE KENNEDY (AUTHOR)
And my mother actually collected them all in a scrapbook, which I, which I still have and I've added to with my own children. And it's really an amazing thing to be able to look back over the poems that my brother and I chose when we were young, and then see the kinds of poems that my own children are choosing. And it just brings back so many memories and times of holidays and, and great family moments.
DIANE SAWYER (ABC NEWS)
(Off-camera) Were you frantic the night before, looking for poems?
CAROLINE KENNEDY (AUTHOR)
We were incredibly competitive about who was going to get the best poem. And it was just really hilarious. But I think even though he complained about it, you know, I mean, obviously, terribly, I think we actually, it gave, really, John and I both a kind of a, a real sense of discovery, and a love of poetry that, you know, that I think was unusual.
DIANE SAWYER (ABC NEWS)
(Off-camera) We were talking about the fact that poetry is such a good way of just talking to each other, particularly about subjects that are not always easy. And I noticed that you have a number of poems that deal with emotions that are not easily tamed by kids, like being laughed at, or being bored, or, and if you read a couple of them, I love this, having wicked thoughts about what you want to do, including to your parents.
CAROLINE KENNEDY (AUTHOR)
I know, well, I think poems really do allow us to talk about a lot of things that, that are, you know, hard otherwise, where you can't quite put into words. Although, the brother sister thing can pretty easily be put into words, but, but this is actually one of the poems that my brother chose as a special holiday gift, which is really unbelievable. But it's called 'Careless Willie." Willie, with a thirst for gore, nailed his sister to the door. Mother said with humor quaint, careful, Willie, don't scratch the paint. And I of course had forgotten all about this until I came across it in this scrapbook that I was looking through. And, and it just made me laugh so hard. But.
DIANE SAWYER (ABC NEWS)
(Off-camera) I'm trying to imagine your face that Christmas, nailed his sister, his sister?
CAROLINE KENNEDY (AUTHOR)
I know, yeah, exactly. I'm trying to imagine his face, actually.
DIANE SAWYER (ABC NEWS)
(Off-camera) And how about 'Amelia Mixed the Mustard."
CAROLINE KENNEDY (AUTHOR)
Amelia mixed the mustard, she mixed it good and thick, she put it in the custard and made her mother sick. And showing satisfaction by many loud huzzah, observe, said she, the action of mustard on mama. And the guy who wrote that was a great Latin scholar and professor and so I think it's great, because it really shows that, you know, poetry doesn't have to be serious, or really for scary and boring.
DIANE SAWYER (ABC NEWS)
(Voiceover) I was struck by how many great poets are included in here, writing really light-hearted things, which again, teaches, I guess, that children don't have to be afraid of words.
DIANE SAWYER (ABC NEWS)
(Off-camera) They can be part of play and friendship. And one of them is Pablo Neruda, a great poet, and he writes about socks.
CAROLINE KENNEDY (AUTHOR)
He writes about socks. I think you're absolutely right, though. I think people think poetry is scary, and I don't think kids feel that way, but I think it's, a lot of adults are afraid they won't understand it. And really, it's a great thing to share with grandparents or parents or friends, and, but anyway. 'Ode to a Pair of Socks," both, both, that was actually suggested to me by a really amazing English teacher. So.
CAROLINE KENNEDY (AUTHOR)
Maru Mori brought me a pair of socks that she knit with her shepherds hands. Two socks as soft as rabbit fur. I thrust my feet inside them, as if the were two little boxes, knit from threads of sunset and sheepskin. My feet were two woolen fish in those outrageous socks. Two gangly, navy blue sharks, impaled on a golden thread. Two giant blackbirds, two cannons. Thus, were my feet honored by those heavenly socks.
CAROLINE KENNEDY (AUTHOR)
They were so beautiful. I found my feet unlovable for the very first time, like two crusty old firemen, firemen unworthy of that embroidered fire, those incandescent socks.
DIANE SAWYER (ABC NEWS)
(Off-camera) Socks too good for my feet, who doesn't know that. I was telling you earlier, we had a poem that I remember we all read as a family, and everybody cried about a dog named Rags, who died, and my father cried, and we all just held each other. And you have a number of poems in here that are for loneliness, including prayers. You included prayers.
CAROLINE KENNEDY (AUTHOR)
Well, I think children really do think about the big emotions and the big questions, whether it's faith or loss or joy, and, and I think poems really, you know, allow you to connect to those feelings, in a really direct emotional way. And I think, but they express them better, maybe, then, then the rest of us might be able to. And it's so important, as kids grow up, for them to find their own voice, and be willing to express their struggle and their dreams.
CAROLINE KENNEDY (AUTHOR)
Though I think that poetry, if you're exposed to it when you're young can really help that, and we're seeing a lot of more, young adults writing poetry through the hip hop and spoken word movement, which has really, I think, re-energized poetry in a great way.
