Trains enter and leave the station appearing only as blurs passing by the corners of her eyes. Scanning the faces of the crowd around her, she finally spots the one she was there for. Noticing her for the first time, she watches as fear begins to crawl across his face. Fumbling for his suitcase, he drops his newspaper and attempts to make an exit, but is stopped by the grip of her fingers on his shoulder. 

SHE
(sweetly, sternly)
Darling, you look as though you've seen a ghost.

He remains silent, frozen, confused. She giggles, a sweet sound that carries traces of revenge. How could he forget that roses had thorns?

Whhuuuut up humans! Sorry for the week long absence, it's a been a busy yet good one during which I moved into a new apartment and have spent the majority of my time unpacking, organizing, and trying to turn the place into a scene from Sunset Boulevard. It's a work in progress, but you can see a few snaps of how it's piecing together over on my Insta @tennesseeroseblog. And, I do have plans to take some official photos in there once its all done up. In addition to moving you could've found me dancing my face off for 4 straight hours at my friend's birthday party. Heels off, music up, and hit tha quaaaaan was basically the motto of my weekend. Before all of this, I took myself to one of my favorite spots in town, the Chattanooga Choo Choo (which I only live about 2 minutes from now that I've moved!), and took some photos in one of my best summer buys, a Forever 21 chambray dress that sadly doesn't lose it's wrinkles as quickly as my hair loses it's curls.

In other news, anyone else had the new Lana on repeat this week?!
 In other other news, anyone tuning into the Mr. Robot finale tonight?!

The Cinema

Int. The Cinema - Night
Wide eyed she stares at the screen, entranced by each changing scene. The light flickers on her her face as she fills her mouth with buttery popcorn and sips on cold Vanilla Coke.

SHE
(reciting along with the film)
I'm not fighting for anything anymore except myself.

Well, it's about time I take photos in one of my favorite places, the movie theater. I'm pretty surprised they let me just stroll on in with a camera and tripod, I had a "please just let me do this for my blog"speech prepared and everything, but hey I wasn't going to tell on myself. So, lately it seems like NO good movies have come to town (the Amy Winehouse documentary was here for literally like 1 day which is ridiculous!), I don't know if it's because it's summer or because the theaters around here only go for the highest budget movies or what, but this night, as usual, the pickings were slim. I was actually thinking this might work in my benefit though, since I wanted a theater all to myself. Strategically avoiding the weekend, I went on a Thursday, and chose the movie I thought I could tolerate the most - Mission Impossible. Upon entering, I was shocked to find at least 10 other people in there... My plan begins to curmble. So, for the next 10 minutes I hop from theater to theater hoping to find one empty so that I could comfortably take my pictures. Oddly enough, all of them had someone in them, and honestly I'm really questioning the two adult couples at the Minions 10 o'clock showing. An animated movie with the most annoying voiced acharacters?! Really?! Why would you do that to yourself?! I'm still going with the theory that it was a drug deal waiting to happen or something. So, with all other opitions exhausted, I drag myself back to Mission Impossible and actually found myself *breaks eye contact and bows head* enjoying it. It definietly had some cheesy dialouge in places, but I'll admit it made me laugh, and yes, I was impressed by some of Tom Cruise's stunts. Could you drive a car going freaing 93479284723947 miles an hour down a flight of stairs? I didn't think so. Anyway, while it's certainly not an Oscar winner, I didn't feel like my money completely went to waste either. Andddddd that's how I conclude my Thursday evening. Gotta say though, movies always seem better when you're dressed in an Audrey Hepburn like ensemble. Maybe that makes life better in general? Probs. 

Seen anything good yourself lately? Hit me up on my social medias so we can chaaaaaat.

Ext. The Marina - Day
Sitting on the ledge of the dock, she stares through her wind blown hair as ships roll in and out of the harbor. From her distance she was still able to hear the sounds of music and watched shadows move about the top level in swaying movements. As usual, she let herself being carried off with the sound of the rippling water dreaming of the day she'd have her own chance to board the ship.

Fun fact: I have a weird paranoia of wearing an outfit on the wrong day. These shorts for example, were a Christmas gift...and here I am just now posting a style story in them. Granted, I have worn them once or twice, but always with a different top than the one here. I must be pretty ok at the process of elimination, because this nautical shorts and peter pan collar top combo is my favorite, it just took me a couple months to figure that out. You live and you learn, right? 

Hope you all are not just surviving your week, but enjoying it! I'm pretty happy right now because I got the good news today that I can move into my new apartment this Saturday! Better step up my antiquing game, cause I need some furniture.

In even more other news, I can't remember if I mentioned that I was recently featured on Whim Magazine's website, which left me glowing all day! I scroll through their postings daily and find them incredibly inspiring, so when Melanie asked me to do an interview with them I was all kinds of honored. You can read the whole thing HERE!

Darlin' Put on that Party Dress

Int. Dressing Room - Day
It's August the ninth, and today she is 23. She clutches her party dress tight to her chest and begins to spin, laughing as she watches the tulle swirl around her knees. Carefully, she steps into the sea of yellow and zips it up the side. Leaning into the mirror she coats her eyelashes with dark mascara and paints her lips red. With a sigh she falls back onto her bed wondering what the night might hold.

That's right everybody, happy birthday to me! Even though I feel like 23 is so old, I still get pretty excited about my birthday. This year, it was spent with a vintage/antiquing trip to Atlanta with two of my best friends, during which I laid my eyes upon this pretty yellow party dress. As soon as I saw it hanging up on the little store's wall, I knew I wanted to see it doing the same thing in my own closet everyday. Plus, I couldn't imagine anything more lovely to spend my birthday in. I wonder what the parties were like that it was worn to in the past? To finish the night off, I went to dinner at one of my favorite Italian restaurants, consumed a week's worth of sugar, and caught up on the latest episode of Mr. Robot, which is in fact my latest binge watch. Computer coding hasn't held much of an interest within me since the MySpace days when you needed to know the basics to pimp out your profile, but this show is so brilliantly done that it can make anyone wish they were a bad a hacker girl (or dude). Even me.
