The Vintage Wedding | 100 Years of Blushing Brides

To celebrate our 6th year anniversary, a sweet little post about the happiest day of woman's life... her wedding day! (Although, some of these brides and wedding participants don't seem at all happy, HAHA!)

Vintage Style Icon: Claudia Cardinale

She was an Italian + Tunisian bombshell in the 1960s and is still a working actress with over 30 films (mostly Italian and French) in her repertoire.



I absolutely love that Claudia exudes so much sexiness in her photos but still looks incredibly approachable (she loved being barefoot in most of her photoshoots) unlike the French bombshell Brigitte Bardot who is incredibly sexy but if I were a man I'd never dare to approach her!
