Belle époque

Pretty title no? lol,excuse the cheesiness,
for those of you who were wondering, the title is a French saying meaning 'Beautiful era' - the golden age of art and culture in France in the early 20th century. (kopipes je nih,haha)
I've always had a liking to French culture, more spesifically their fashion~
especially ones that is frequented by a very famous style icon, or at least she is to me,
Marie Antoinette, *lets wikiwiki!*



Marie Antoinette (pronounced /məˈriː ˌæntwəˈnɛt/ or /ˌæntwɑːˈnɛt/French pronunciation: [maʁi ɑ̃twanɛt]; Maria Antonia Josepha Johanna; 2 November 1755 – 16 October 1793) was an Archduchess of Austria and theQueen of France and of Navarre. She was the fifteenth and penultimate child of Empress Maria Theresa of Austria and Emperor Francis I.
In April of 1770, on the day of her marriage to Louis-AugusteDauphin of France, she became Dauphine de France. Marie Antoinette assumed the title of Queen of France and of Navarre when her husband, Louis XVI of France, ascended the throne due to the death of Louis XV in May 1774. After seven years of marriage she gave birth to a daughter, Marie-Thérèse Charlotte, the first of their four children.
Initially charmed by her personality and beauty, the French people generally came to dislike her, accusing "the Austrian" of being profligate and promiscuous[1], and of harboring sympathies for France's enemies, particularly Austria, since Marie Antoinette was, after all, Austrian.[2]
At the height of the French Revolution, Louis XVI was deposed and the monarchy abolished on August 10, 1792; the royal family was subsequently imprisoned at the Temple Prison. Nine months after her husband's execution, Marie Antoinette was herself tried, convicted of treason, and executed by guillotine on 16 October 1793.

Basically if you havent got the patience to go through all that, she's a French nobleman, married into the French royal family at a young ages, everybody's jealous cause she's perfect, bla bla bla,
accused of treason and tragically sentenced to death *off with her headdd*
See,wasn't that somewhat a fun story *tragic, but still fun, right, right? *
