There are many automobile manufacturers and the competition for the best car technology has proved to be useful in making safer or faster or prettier vehicles than ever before. But sometimes, you just want a classic, vintage ride.
With tons of car shows happening across the country, classic and vintage cars just don’t seem to go out of style. Some weddings are using/taking photos with classic cars to give their wedding some vintage flare. Sometimes, you see classic car lovers driving their ride down the street. Whatever your use for a classic car, you’re going to look cool doing it!
I’ve been getting a lot of wedding invitations recently, so I thought- why not write a little about the beautiful, vintage dresses available to brides-to-be and admirers. While doing a simple google image search, I found millions of vintage wedding dress pictures. It’s amazing how much is out there! Take a look at these beautiful dresses:
Vintage masked Halloween children
Halloween is around the corner which means it’s time to break out the spooky decorations and costumes! And guess what? Since you’re reading this now, almost 4 weeks before the holiday, you should have plenty of time to plan the perfect costume whether that means going to the store or ordering online.
On the left, you can see a photo of a group of kids on Halloween, many Halloweens ago. Sometimes it is just the simply things, like a mask, that can make all the difference in the world. The photo was found here.
But sometimes, we just want to go all out. In the picture below, you can see a group of kids dressed in the whole get-up, head to toe costume incorporation. And admittedly, they look pretty awesome. That photo was found here.

Patricia Franchini, in the 1960 French film, Breathless, was iconic. The film is in French and takes place in Paris, France. There are not any special effects, million dollar budgets, or plastic surgery Hollywood actors. Instead, the wholesome film is lovely because it focuses on intriguing dialogue, classic fashion, and it is in France which makes everything better.
Both photos found here.

Ked’s advertisement
According to the Keds’ official website, the shoe brand introduced the “feel-like-everyday’s-a-Saturday” sneaker in 1916. Now the shoe brand is an American classic! And, Keds are just as cool now as it was then.
The prices have always been inexpensive, too! Like every brand, there are styles that are more expensive than others. But with options ranging from men to women to child to apparel, it seems like there should be something for everyone.
