Ext. Trail - Day
Rows of arched golden, red, and yellow tree tops branch out to intertwine their limbs among a bright blue sky. A light breeze blows. The delicate sound of leaves dragging against the gravel can be heard as she walks ever forward breathing in the crisp fall air.

Well, it's officially fall here in Tennessee, and though it is the precursor to the dreaded winter season, I am still enjoying it. Though, there is one thing I'm looking forward to this December, and if you follow me on well, any social media platform, you would know that's La La Land. I don't think I've ever been this impressed with a movie trailer in the history of ever, and trust me, I have watched many of them. Through the music, the effects, the setting, and the outfits, each one presents this world that I just want to runaway to and stay forever. Also, it's about time we get a real musical. Sorry people, but High School Musical was kind of a disgrace to the genre IMO. I have waited my whole life for the Ginger and Fred combo of our generation to appear, and I am really hoping we've found it here with Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone (two of my favorites anyway). Anyway, until it is released on December 16th, you'll find me seeking moments of beauty IRL through things like walks beneath leaves that are hanging beautifully from their death bed.

Oh, and please enjoy this video that I made but am kind of embarrassed of. If anyone knows how I can upload these things to YouTube without them getting all pixelated and having to manually change my quality setting to 1080 each time just to be able to stand it, pleaseeee let me know. Seriously, on my computer it plays crystal clear, but as soon as YouTube processes it, all is lost. Sigh.

Int. Bedroom - Day
From the floor of her pink, typical teenage, bedroom she flips through pages of her new Elvis book until she drifts away in daydreams of meeting him.


So, clearlyyyyy I have spent quite a bit of time wondering what my life might've been like if I had lived during the 50's or 60's. Would I have danced in my living room to American Bandstand? Spent my free time writing stories on a typewriter? Hoped for a date to the drive-in on Friday night? Probs, but one thing I know for certain, is that I would've made sure that I went to see Elvis liiiive and in person. As much as I like him now, I can only imagine how intensified that feeling would be by being lucky enough to live in the same time period as him. Alas, I wasn't, so photos, movies, and records - of course - are about as close as I'll get to that experience. That's why I pretty much jump at every chance I get to live viewings of golden age movies, or books that help take me back, like this one, Elvis Style: From Zoot Suits to Jumpsuits by Zoey Goto. As you can see through some of these photos, this gem is filled with information from every aspect of Elvis's life and the emphasis he had on society. I mean, the man singlehandedly changed the way the world dressed. From his Rockabilly street style to his flashy jumpsuits - it seems Elvis's fingerprints can be found on nearly every trend from those days. It doesn't stop there though, Elvis Style: From Zoot Suits to Jumpsuits depicts The King's influence on contemporary art, his stunning collection of cars, and even added a tour of the Elvis Hidden Hideaway in Palm Springs to my bucket list. If we're getting technical, it actually features over 175 photos, many of which show rarely seen before Elvis-worn outfits.

Due to the fact that I live in a studio apartment, I've turned my coffee table into a fireplace mantle of sorts where I keep my favorite books and magazines proudly on display. It's surely no surprise that this book has officially secured it's own little place there amongst my favorite French Vogue issue, Taylor Swift's Vanity Fair cover, and Matt Zoller Seitz'z Mad Men Carousel. Now idk what that means to you, but to me that screams this book is the actual bomb. Lucky for you July 31st will be here in just a matter of days and you'll be able to get one for your very own coffee table, to sit next to your very own Lana del Rey Maxim magazine, or maybe you're super fancy and have an actual mantle and can place this baby where it truly deserves to be. In all seriousness, visit http://elvisstylebook.com  now to secure your copy before pre-orders end on July 31st.

All I Wanna Do Is

Ext. Hilton Head Beach - Day
Waves crash against the shore behind her as she fights to keep her hat in place during a gust of wind.

This post is hard for me. Firstly, because I've been focusing all of my attention on Instagram (@tennesseeroseblog) and haven't been in here in a while, which I'm ashamed to admit even to myself. I hate having to come to terms with the fact I haven't been staying as organized as I need to be, or accomplishing all that I want. However, I also truly believe there is always room for improvement, and well, here is mine. Secondly, this post is difficult because it's a swimsuit one. It seems like every summer I find myself pushing "publish" on a swimsuit post already feeling as though it's been received poorly. In all fairness, if people can manage to find imperfections in the bodies of Taylor Swift or Selena Gomez, then what will they think of mine? Now, I workout regularly and eat pretty healthy, but I can't afford personal trainers or chefs like they can so, I'm obviously not going to have the same results either. Insecurities aside, I can never fully talk myself out of putting photos like this up. Several of my bathing suits are actually some of my favorite "outfits". It's so easy to capture that 50's-60's vibe that I love so much through just two pieces, which I particularly find amazing. I'd also like to point out that these particular bottoms are complete with ruffles - something that there just aren't enough of on grown up clothes these days...IMO.
