Choosing Between Vintage and Modern Engagement Rings

Engagement rings are not just pieces of jewelry; they are timeless treasures that symbolize commitment, love, and a couple’s unique story. Whether you're drawn to the rich history of a vintage engagement ring or the sleek, contemporary designs of modern rings, both styles hold distinctive allure. Vintage rings, often dating from the early 1900s to the 1980s, come with unparalleled craftsmanship, intricate details, and a romantic connection to the past. These rings carry stories from eras like Edwardian, Art Deco, and Retro, reflecting a nostalgia for bygone times.

On the contrary, modern engagement rings emphasize simplicity, durability, and cutting-edge design. From floating diamonds in tension bands to the incorporation of colored gemstones like sapphires or morganite, modern rings offer endless customization and personalization options. Materials like rose gold and titanium, paired with advanced crafting techniques, ensure these rings remain both stylish and practical for everyday wear.

When deciding between vintage and modern styles, it’s important to weigh the pros and cons of each. Vintage rings boast timeless charm and eco-friendly benefits, but their delicate nature and limited sizing may require extra care and customization. Modern rings offer flexibility, durability, and transparency in sourcing but may lack the uniqueness of a one-of-a-kind antique piece.

Choosing the perfect engagement ring should reflect your personality and values, and whether you opt for a vintage ring or a modern creation, each option has something special to offer.

Still undecided? Dive into the full blog to discover which engagement ring style is perfect for you!

Neena Gupta dazzles in pink as she attends a wedding with husband Vivek Mehra and BFF Soni Razdan - See photos - Times of India

Neena Gupta spent her weekend celebrating with her husband Vivek Mehra and BFF Soni Razdan as they attended a wedding collectively. The actress shared a glimpse of the identical with her followers on Instagram.Check out the photos right here: Dressed in a dazzling pink outfit, Neena regarded beautiful as ever. She accessorised with little jewelry and accomplished her look with a bun. The actress…

[neenadunn]

This last time she and Evren had gotten back together and were dating again, they had decided to exchange keys. So Neena had a set of keys to his trailer and he had a set to her condo. It was nice to be able to just drop in on each other when the mood struck. And the mood had struck Neena. After spending a successful day with one of her friends at the Galleria, Neena had wanted to stop by Evren's and show him her goodies for the day. In addition to the new dresses, skirts, shoes and jewelry she bought for herself, Neena had snagged a jacket and two shirts she thought would look hot on Evren while elevating his wardrobe a bit more. She even got this cute pink dress for Lyla and was excited to show both of them. Besides, she loved modeling her own finds for the day. This one dress with various cutouts would be a favorite of Evren she was sure.

So, with her arms filled to the brim with bags, she unlocked the door of the trailer and walked in. "Hello! Anyone home?" She called out as she entered. Hearing noise down the only hallway, Neena turned, a wide grin on her lips. But it froze as she took in the sight before her. A girl. An unfamiliar girl with hair dripping wet and only a small towel covering her lithe body.

"Who the fuck are you?" Neena demanded, the grin dropping from her face as she eyed the girl with suspicion. This was not Lyla's mother, nor could she be related to her, Evren had shown her the picture of his buddy and the mother so she knew what both looked like. As the other just stood there, dripping and trying to cover up her body more, Neena placed her hands on her hips with the many bags and repeated herself. "Who the fuck are you?" She let her dark gaze travel up the woman and settle on her face while raising one manicured eyebrow. "And why the fuck are you in my boyfriend's house naked?"

@evrenosman @yinachens

FOR: @neenadunn WHEN: July 24' WHERE: Evren's Place. Shady Grove. Int. Shower.

Yina's plumbing was beyond a disaster. It was utterly fucking useless. Despite paying a steep price for paper-thin walls and rickety pipes, which she had to admit was far better than her last place, something new always seemed to go wrong — every day. That morning, with the sun barely peeking over the horizon, she stepped into the shower only to be met with nothing but dry silence and the agonizing screech of clanging metal. No water. No relief. Just a desperate need for a shower.

She had a full day ahead, with a list of tasks to complete. And the need to always look presentable stemmed from the fact, as slim as it might be, she might one day bump into her family: she never left the house without looking her possible best. Frustration boiling over, she padded across the threadbare carpet to her bed, snatching up her phone. Two options: Eddy or Evren.

Neither was available until evening, leaving Yina to fume all day. Not at them, but the situation she found herself in time and time again. Could she catch a break? Was that allowed? Or was it against the rules? She spent hours in a state of irritation, unable to do anything, her hands itching to get out. As evening approached, she decided to head to Evren's, the closer option.

Finally, washing away the day's grit, yesterday's sins, she felt a sense of relief that had been amiss all day. Slowly, relaxation seeping into her muscles. The need for a shower was a constant in her life, an ingrained ritual from her parents. Now, at last, she felt clean. It wasn't until she was out of the shower, wrapped in a fresh towel of Evren's, that she heard movement out in the hall.

Yina stepped out into the corridor, half expecting to be greeted by her friend, half set on cracking a joke as her lips parted, the smile faltering instantly — instead, she's left with her head reeling back and brows sweeping into a deep V. "I, uh, sorry -- I...hey."

Piotr doesn’t often find himself nervous.

Some might doubt it, but it’s true. As rigid as he seems –and, admittedly, is—about some things, he seldom gets nervous. Frustrated, maybe, or tense, perhaps, but rarely downright, outright nervous.

He supposes, though, that the sensation coursing through him right now isn’t nervousness, precisely. Giddiness would be a better way to describe the butterflies thrumming in his stomach, how he has to keep himself from smiling nonstop so his cheeks don’t start hurting, and the way delighted, slightly nervous giggles keep bubbling up in his throat.

He’s getting married. Today. He’s getting married to you today, after so many obstacles and setbacks and arguments and makeups and planning and scheduling—

It’s here. It’s time.

Save for one last thing, which Piotr had wanted and then his family had borderline insisted –as much as they insisted on things—on doing: a vykup nevesty.

A vykup nevesty, as Piotr’s father had described it to him when he was very young, was for the family’s entertainment at its core. The groom would provide a payment for the bride –money or jewelry were traditional—and then the family would bring out a different man or a woman dressed as the bride to try and trick the groom. Once the groom realized that the person in question wasn’t his beloved, he would ask for his bride again and provide a higher payment for his spouse-to-be before he was finally bequeathed his bride, thus allowing the ceremony to start. Over time, the process had expanded to include various riddles, dares, and other shenanigans in the ransom process, and generally amounted to a great deal of fun.

He knows you helped write questions and answers for a “trivia” portion of the vykup nevesty. He also knows that he’ll have to deal with Mikhail’s dramatics –which normally would be nothing short of headache inducing, but between his elation over the fact that it’s his wedding day and the generous wad of cash tucked in his pocket, Piotr’s feeling borderline unstoppable.

He gives himself one final glance over in the mirror –he’d spent the night at the house your two’s friends and family had chipped in on—to make sure that his suit and tie are in good order –Nikolai had ushered everyone out at his son’s request so he could have a moment to himself just to think and process—before heading downstairs and out the front door—

And nearly walks smack into Mikhail and Ellie.

��Good morning, baby brother!” Mikhail chirps in Russian, grinning broadly. “Are you ready for the challenge of a lifetime?”

“I grew up with you; I doubt this will be worse than that,” Piotr fires back, feeling a twinge of misgiving at the slight grimace that creases his older brother’s face. Switching to English, he says, “I take it you two are here for vykup nevesty.”

“Yep,” Ellie confirms, popping the ‘p.’ “There’s gonna be three stages to this. You ready?”

He rolls his shoulders, bouncing lightly on the balls of his feet. “I am ready.”

“Excellent. Before we get started—” Mikhail produces an empty plastic coffee grounds container –which, upon closer inspection, has a label taped to it that says ‘motorcycle repair fund’—and wiggles it expectantly. “A little donation, if you please.”

Piotr refrains from rolling his eyes as he extracts his wallet from his inner jacket pocket, then drops about forty dollars in the container.

“Alright, first question,” Ellie says, casting a glance at her phone screen before looking back up at her mentor. “What is the most commonly recurring, non-serious argument in your relationship?”

Piotr blinks, borderline shocked. “What?”

“What do you guys play-argue about the most?”

“I understood that, just… she put that down as question?”

“She told you she was making these hard, right?”

“She did, she did,” Piotr says, grinning to himself as he rubs thoughtfully at his chin. “I just thought there might be progression of difficulty.”

“Eh, they’re all about this difficult.”

“Bozhe moi.” He quirks his mouth to the side as he thinks; you’re particularly cantankerous on your best of days –some might even say your best days, period—and while he’s learned to just go with some of it, there’s also so much the two of you playfully banter about…

“Tick, tick, tick, tick,” Mikhail says after about half a minute of silence, grinning like the cat that got the canary.

Piotr casts a dull glare at him. “Quiet. I am thinking.”

“Time is off the essence, baby brother! You would not want some dashing rogue to swoop in and sweep your bride away, no?”

Piotr ignores his brother’s dramatics –though he does roll his eyes—and gets down to thinking. Okay. Play fight means it is not serious enough to cause problems, but still something we are different on… “Food,” he says finally. “We argue about what foods should be eaten and not.”

“Correct,” Ellie says, scrolling further down on her phone. “Okay, next question—”

“Least favorite bad habit,” Mikhail says, reading over Ellie’s shoulder.

“Which bad habit of yours is Y/N’s least favorite,” Ellie clarifies.

Piotr snorts and shakes his head. “O, chudesno. Ah…” His voice trails off as his mind works, running through a mental list of various possible habits of his that probably drive you up a wall.

‘Being controlling’ hits him first, but something feels off about it; while, in all likelihood, it’s the most accurate, he doesn’t think you’d pull out something that had been a contributor to so many bad fights the two of you have had on such a special day –or wave that in front of Mikhail’s nose as possible teasing material, either.

‘Rules happy’ also fits that category, along with ‘too serious’…

Habit, Piotr, he tells himself when Mikhail starts mimicking a clock again. Not character flaw. Habit. Think smaller. “Workaholic. Or having to put everything away between tasks.”

“You have to pick one,” Ellie says while Mikhail starts ‘tick-tock-ing” louder.

Piotr mulls it over, then eliminates ‘workaholic’ since it fits closer to a character flaw –for him, at least—than it does a bad habit. “Having to put everything away between tasks.”

“Correct,” Ellie says. “Next question: mutual favorite nighttime activity.”

Mikhail lets out a raucous whistle and waggles his eyebrows at Piotr. “Damn, baby brother, are you into nasty shit I didn’t even know about? What, do you—”

“I do speak Russian; please stop,” Ellie says, completely monotone, while staring at her phone screen.

Mikhail cuts himself off with a grimace and a muttered “sorry.”

Piotr lets out a heavy sigh and rubs at his eyes; he suspects you slid that question in there just for that kind of reaction.

He’ll just have to pay you back for it later.

The thought makes him smile a little, but he quickly pushes it down and gets to thinking before Mikhail can start making clock noise again –or, worse, ask why he’s smiling. Mutual favorite nighttime activity…

Sex is an entirely feasible answer. Plausible, even. The two of you both enjoy sex, and he doesn’t doubt for a moment that you’d put that answer in there just to embarrass him a little…

Except it seems just a hair off. While you’d definitely take the opportunity to rib him a little, he knows you wouldn’t put Ellie in such an awkward position –or whoever else wound up reading the questions out.

“Snuggling,” he decides, which gets an annoyed groan from Mikhail. “Each night, we try to take time to just snuggle and talk about our days.”

“Correct.”

Mikhail rolls his eyes. “That is stupidly vanilla.”

“No one asked you,” Piotr mutters, letting some of his annoyance show through.

“Next question,” Ellie interjects before an argument can break out between the two brothers. “What is Y/N’s biggest pet peeve?”

“Scott Summers,” Piotr fires off automatically.

Ellie snorts and claps a hand over her mouth. “Okay, that’s technically wrong, but I’m counting it because she’ll like that you answered that.”

“I think I am missing something,” Mikhail says, glancing between Piotr and Ellie.

“He’s a douche and Y/N doesn’t like him,” Ellie supplies quickly. “Also I’m pretty sure he’s cheating on his girlfriend.”

“No!”

“Yeah. And she’s a telepath.”

Mikhail smirks. “So, he is idiot, too.”

“Basically.”

“Be nice, NTW,” Piotr admonishes his trainee, even though the corner of his mouth is turning up in a smile. “What did Y/N have for original answer?”

“Slow walkers,” Ellie says—

Which makes him snort because of course.

“Alright, last question: who is Y/N closest to in her family?”

A contemplative frown tugs at his lips as he flips through his mental rolodex of who you consider family.

Wade and Nate immediately spring to the top of the list. You connected with Wade first, but you view Nate as a father –and, granted, you’re close to Russell and Ellie and Yukio and Neena and countless other members of the Institute, but Wade and Nate are definitely closest to you. They know more of your darkest secrets, at least.

He mentally derails when he remembers your uncle and factors him in, and then it becomes a game of mental shuffles as he switches from Wade to Nate to your uncle and then back through again, over and over, until Ellie starts pointedly looking at the time display on her phone and Mikhail starts acting like he’s falling asleep on his feet. “Nate. She’s closest to Nate.”

“Wrong answer,” Ellie says. “You have to pay up for that one.”

Piotr frowns while he fishes a few bills out of his wallet and drops them in Mikhail’s plastic container. “What was right answer?”

“You. She said she’s closest to you.”

He blinks –and then smiles, because of course the two of you are family. You’ve been family to each other for a long time, and after today you’ll legally be family as husband and wife.

“Alright,” Ellie says. “That’s it for round one. Ready for round two?”

“Absolutely,” Piotr says, completely confident. He’s never been more ready for anything in his life.

***

 They take the path that connects your two’s new home to the rest of Xavier’s property and stroll across the back lawn to where everything’s been set up –well, Piotr and Ellie stroll. Mikhail insists on teleporting himself every few feet because “walking is for fools.”

Once the chairs and the guests and the wedding party and all the decorations come into view, Piotr’s pulse skyrockets and his splits into a massive grin. Seeing everything and everyone there, even though the rehearsal had been last night and he’d helped set everything up, makes it all more real.

And then he sees a woman in a white dress and veil standing adjacent to Charles at the altar, and it takes all his willpower not to sprint the remaining distance between him and the ceremony site.

Mikhail stops him before they reach the little tent where Charles and the wedding party and the woman in white are set up and waggles the “motorcycle repair fund” jar in his face once more. “I’m afraid there’s a toll to pay before you can enter, baby brother.”

Piotr shells out a few more twenty dollar bills –then mouths a silent “thank you” over Mikhail’s head when their mother prevents the eldest Rasputin from asking for more via making a stern, mildly disapproving noise in the back of her throat.

“Alright!” Mikhail says, gesturing grandly towards the altar. “Toll has been paid! Piotr, you may have your bride!”

He steps under the cover of the tent –and has to stop to remind himself that this is likely a trick, if the rules of the vykup nevesty are anything to go by.

Correction: it’s definitely a trick. First, the height and size of the woman are all wrong. Second, she’s clearly wearing a purple colored dress underneath the white dress –which, on closer inspection, isn’t a wedding dress but some white bedsheets sewn together. Third, the “veil” over her face is a deconstructed pillowcase with lace hot-glued to the edge. Fourth, the “bride” is laughing, as are several members of the wedding party and the crowd of guests.

“This is not Y/N,�� Piotr says, turning back to face Mikhail and Ellie.

“What? How can you not recognize your own beloved!” Mikhail exclaims –overly dramatic, which further reinforces that the woman standing in front of him is not his bride. “Have you been drinking, Piotr? Are you drunk?”

“This is not Y/N,” Piotr repeats as a few more chuckles go up in the crowd. He quickly scans the guests and wedding party, and manages to deduce who’s under the veil based on who’s missing and the relative height and size of the white-clad woman. “Kitty, thank you very much for coming, but I would like to marry Y/N today.”

“Damn!” Kitty laughs and whips off her “veil,” tossing aside while everyone else chuckles and claps. “That was fast!”

Piotr shrugs. “Not hard to tell when you are missing from crowd.”

“Touché.” Kitty phases out from under her makeshift white dress, then smooths out the purple cocktail dress she’d worn underneath before offering Piotr a fist bump. “Congratulations, dude.”

He fist bumps her back, corner of his mouth turning up in a smile—

Then is immediately accosted by Wade as Kitty goes to sit down in the crowd.

“Alright, Google Chrome’s Russian Cousin, how’re you feeling?” Wade asks, microphone in hand –who thought that was good idea?—and clad in a dress that matches the bridesmaids but has been tailored for a man’s body and genuinely looks flattering on him. “Ready for the last part of your however you say it?”

“Very ready,” Piotr says enthusiastically. “I have been ready for long time.”

“Aw, that’s so adorable. Unfortunately, before we can start the final phase, I think your broski over there needs some more dough for his repair fund.”

Piotr shells out the last of the money he’d set aside for the vykup nevesty –it’s not like he’ll be needing it for later, at this point—and drops into Mikhail’s container, then turns back to Wade. “Alright, what is last phase?”

“Well, as the older brother in every way but biological to your future wifey,” Wade says with theatrical seriousness. “I do need to make sure that you’re of suitable marriage material before the ceremony starts. Can’t have my little sis shacking up with a slouch.”

Piotr rolls his eyes good naturedly. “You have known me for several years. And you have been around entire time Y/N and I were dating.”

“Hush, metal grasshopper, this is my moment,” Wade says as he pulls a piece of paper out of the bust portion of his dress. “So, just to make sure that you meet the mark, I’ve drummed up a few eensy-teensy questions to ask.”

Piotr grins and shakes his head; he’s not getting out of this, so there’s no point in being upset about anything. “Very well. Ask your questions.”

“Thank you. Question one: what makes you think you’re worthy to marry my sister?”

Piotr chokes, more out of shock than anything. “What kind of question is that?”

“The one I’m asking, Chrome Dome. Which means you have to answer it. Start talking, we’ve got a list to get through,” Wade says, angling his microphone at Piotr.

Piotr nudges Wade’s hand back so the microphone isn’t right in his face, then considers the question for a few second before answering. “Because she chose me. Marriage is many things, but at core it is choice to commit to living life with partner and work through whatever hardships and challenges arise as team. It is choice to keep loving and communicating. I could be exactly who I am, but if Y/N did not choose me, I would not be worthy. But she did choose me, which is what makes me worthy.”

“Ooh, going from the consent angle! Wade like-y!” Wade says a few guests nod, impressed.

Off to the side, Nikolai beams like the proud papa he is and Alex shoots her youngest son a thumbs up.

“Alright, you pass the first question. Second question: if three mini-lion robots broke into your house and formed into a super-lion robot, what would you do to protect your lady from any and all harm?”

“Anything I had to,” Piotr answers automatically.

Wade mimics a buzzer noise. “Lame answer. Cop out.”

“It is truth,” Piotr insists. “No one ever really knows what they would do in moment until they are there. I will not commit to idea I may not follow through on in moment because my instincts might wind up being different. What I do know, however, is that I will do whatever I have to in order to keep Y/N safe, and that will not change regardless of what moment faces me.”

Wade studies him for a moment, then nods slowly. “Alright. I’ll take that. Next question!”

“How many questions are there?” Piotr asks, trying to catch a glimpse of the paper.

“As many as I need,” Wade says angling the paper away from Piotr’s line of sight. “Okay, big question here: what do you love most about my sister?”

“Everything,” Piotr says earnestly, tone dreamy and lovestruck. “She… she is everything to me. She helps me step back and appreciate day to day. She makes me laugh and smile –and over things I never thought I would, which has been… interesting.” He chuckles along with everyone else. “She has helped me grow so much as person, and challenges me on how I think and act and do things… She is beautiful, and kind, and smart, and funny, and I am so lucky that I get to marry her.”

Several “awws” go up in the crowd, and more than a few people dab at their eyes with tissues or hankies.

Wade, however, lets out a dramatic sob and blows his nose noisily into a lace edged handkerchief. “I promised myself I wouldn’t cry!”

Piotr merely smiles and shakes his head.

“Alright, big guy. Now that you’ve made everyone here cry, you ready to get married?”

“Yes,” Piotr says eagerly, excitement coiling in his stomach once more. “More than.” He feels someone tap on his shoulder, and he turns, expecting to see Mikhail holding out the “repair fund” container in a last ditch attempt to get more money—

Except you’re standing behind him, dressed in your wedding gown and holding onto Nathan’s arm and beaming up at him like he’s the most important thing in the world. “Hey.”

“Hi.” Tears of joy well up in his eyes, and he presses his hand against his mouth to try and contain himself. “You look so beautiful.”

“You look very handsome yourself.” Your eyes sparkle as you gaze up at him. “Ready to do this thing?”

“Very ready,” Piotr says with an excited giggle.

Nathan hugs you and presses a fatherly kiss to your forehead before handing you off. “Take good care of her.”

“Always,” Piotr promises as he makes to help you over to your side of the altar.

You have other ideas, though, going in for a hug first.

Piotr wraps his arms around you and kisses the top of your head –careful not to mess up your hair—while the guests and wedding party make noises of delight and appreciation and Aiden and his team snap pictures.

Once the hug ends, he helps you get over to your side of the altar, then Wade takes your bouquet for you and helps you straighten out the skirt of your dress—

And then everything’s genuinely a blur. Charles makes a speech about the relationship as he’s witnessed it and the healthy love the two of you model for the students –which has both of you tearing up—before talking about the value of commitment and communication, you two exchange your vows and the rings, and then Charles pronounces the two of you as husband and wife, and then Piotr’s kissing you and you’re kissing him and—

It’s everything, as it always has been.

Here With Me {LH} 1

hi guys ok so here’s my new luke fic that’s based off of the book/movie safe haven! some chapters will be very similar to the movie but some are completely different/made up so!! luke isn’t in this first chapter but he’ll be introduced soon soo yeah! hope y’all like plz don’t let this flop

SHE BARELY RECOGNIZED HERSELF when she looked in the mirror. She gulped at her new haircut. Nothing too drastic; a cut just a few inches above her shoulders with the color a dirty blonde, the opposite of her long dark brown hair she had before. It wasn’t crazy, but it was enough for somebody who knew her to do a double take at the girl to be able to recognize her.

“You’re sure you want to do this, sweetheart?” She looked at Ruby through the mirror and nodded her head. She didn’t have another choice. This was the only thing that she knew would keep her safe from him. “You could always go to the police again.”

She shook her head. “The police don’t care, Ruby. I’ve been there. Multiple times. They don’t do anything, it’s never enough.” She thought back to the time where she showed up at the police station, frantic, bleeding from lip and the cops still said it wasn’t enough. The restraining order she tried to get against him never happened. The cops claimed there wasn’t enough evidence, as if the black eyes and blood lips weren’t telling enough.

“Here.” She took out her diamond earrings, took off the diamond promise ring Ben had given her, and took off her diamond necklace. She left them on Ruby’s bathroom sink. “Sell these when you get a chance. When I find a place, a safe place, I’ll give you my address and you can send the money.”

Ruby offered to give her the money in her safe, but she refused. She took out all of the money in her personal saving and checking accounts and while it wasn’t a lot, it was enough to keep her on her feet until Ruby sent her the money and she found a stable job in a safe place. She thought selling her jewelry, although she knew she wouldn’t get as much as she paid for it, would help her out, as well. She didn’t have time to do it herself, not wanting to risk Ben to find her, and Ruby offered her help.

The drive to the bus station was filled with anxiety. Nail biting, leg bouncing, and knuckle cracking, she couldn’t stop. All she could think about was him finding her, showing up to the bus station, stopping her. But that was unlikely, she knew. But still, her paranoia got the best of her.

“Now you call me when you’re settled, okay? I’ll be waiting by the phone until you do.”

“I will.” She put her hood up and got out of the small car, throwing her duffle bag over her shoulder. She took a deep breath, looking at Ruby with an unreadable expression on her face. She would miss Ruby, she was like a mother figure in her life and she knew that she would never see her again. “Thank you for everything, Ruby.”

The door slammed shut and she rushed to the ticket booth. She bought a ticket to the first city city she saw on the board; Bayside, Florida. She quickly slid the money under the glass and thanked the man behind it before snagging it and rushing to the bus.

Once she was settled, she took her hood off and exhaled the sigh she had been holding in for days now. She was finally safe. Or, at least, she thought she was.

***

Neena’s knees were weak when she stepped off of the Greyhound bus she had been sitting on for almost fifteen hours straight. She huffed when her sneaker clad feet hit the concrete and she looked around. The town sign, welcoming her to Bayside, looked like the typical beach town sign with blues and whites and anchors on it.

Neena’s eyes widened in surprise when she looked to her right to see a small bed and breakfast. It was exactly what she was looking for. Sure, she wanted to explore the town some, but she was beyond exhausted and the sun was already starting to set. All she wanted was a good night's sleep.

“Welcome to Bayside Bed and Breakfast!” The older lady behind the counter, whose name tag read Joyce, greeted Neena happily. Neena offered her a small, barely there, smile. “What can I do for you, young lady?”

“Do you have any rooms available for the night?”

Joyce checked the computer and frowned with a shake of her head. “I’m sorry, dear, we’re all booked for the night. The earlier bus that stopped here was full and filled us right up! There’s a hotel just about ten miles out of town.”

Neena blew out a puff of air and nodded her head. “Thanks anyway.”

The bell dinged when she exited the building and Neena looked around. The pier attached to the small restaurant extended far out, further than any pier she had seen, and it was lit up completely. There was a band on the end and she noticed a crowd of people dancing and drinking and seemingly having the time of their life. She smiled subconsciously, trying to remember the last time she danced and laughed so freely like the people she was looking at were.

Neena walked on the semi-crowded beach and took home under the start of the pier just below the many rocks scattered around. She took off her hoodie, already sweating from the Florida heat even though the sun was down, and laid it down on the sand below her. Plopping down, she rested her back on her duffle bag and threw her head back.

She wanted to cry. She was miles and miles away from home, in a new city and state where she knew nobody, where she didn’t even have a house to live in or a bed to sleep in, with barely enough to get her through the week. She thought her plan was foolproof. Boy was she wrong.

“I did not think this through.” Neena mumbled to herself.

Soon enough, the band ended and all that could be heard was the sound of the waves crashing on the beach, and that was enough to lull Neena into a peaceful sleep, even if it was on the sand, under a pier, in a town she was so unfamiliar with.

***

“Hello?” A voice was muffled to Neena. “Excuse me, Miss?” Neena felt a gentle shake on her shoulder and she slowly opened her eyes, not remembering where she was at first. When her eyes opened fully though, she was faced with a girl around her age she guessed and a beach packed full of people.

“Uh,” Neena rubbed the sleep out of her eyes and sat up.

“Sorry to wake you.” The redhead girl giggled. “But I’m out for my morning run and saw you sleeping here. I don’t recognize you much. Are you new to town?”

“Uh, yeah. I am.”

“And… you’re sleeping on the beach?” The girl cocked an eyebrow while Neena nodded her head. The girl pursed her lips and tilted her head to the side. “Do you not have a place to stay?”

Obviously not, Neena wanted to roll her eyes. “No I don’t.”

“Did you try the B&B?” Neena nodded her head. “Sold out, huh? Well, I live just five minutes up the street, just near the woods and my house is a little bit small, but I have an extra bedroom. Did you want to stay with me until you’re up on your feet?”

Neena blinked in surprise. Was this girl seriously offering her a place to stay? Neena was sceptical, but she didn’t want to continue sleeping on the beach. She had sand in places that sand should not be and she was craving the feeling of air conditioning. The girl looked normal, mostly, and nice enough, so why the hell not? Neena thought.

“Are you serious?”

“Of course I am. I’m not going to let you sleep on the beach when I have a perfectly good and unused guest bedroom and bathroom in my house!” The girl stood up from her squatting position and held her hand out for Neena to take, which she did happily, and pulled herself up. Neena tied her hoodie around her waist and slung her duffle bag over her shoulder. “I ran here from my house, which is about a twenty minute walk. Are you okay with walking?”

“Yeah. That’s fine.” Neena followed her and they began walking, making small talk here and here to fill the awkward silence between the two of them.

“Oh, I’m Amy by the way.” She laughed and extended her hand for Neena to shake.

“Neena.”

“Nice to meet you.”

Neena nodded in agreement and it fell quiet. She shifted her full duffel bag, switching it from one shoulder to the other and wiped the small sheet of sweat off of her forehead. She put her hair up as best as she could, with it being shorter than she was used to, and tried to ignore the baby hairs that tickled the back of her neck.

“This is it!” Amy singsonged happily and skipped up the stairs. “Oh, by the way, I live with my boyfriend, Michael.”

At the sound of Neena staying in a house with a man that was a stranger to her, she swallowed thickly and nodded, trying not to let it show that she was even more nervous now. She knew not all men were like her ex-boyfriend, but she still wasn’t too keen on being around men she wasn’t familiar with.

“Mikey! I’m home!” Amy called out into the small house, holding the screen door open for Neene who carefully shut it behind her. She took a look around, feeling nostalgic at the homey feel it had and the bright colored walls. “And I brought a new friend!”

“New friend?” A man's voice echoed throughout the house. “We know everybody in town, how are you possibly making new friends?” The man appeared out of the bathroom in a pair of swim trunks and a tank top and smiled at Neena. “Wow, you are new.” Michael laughed.

“She was sleeping on the beach, so I told her she could crash here for a few days until she finds a place to stay. And…” Amy smiled sweetly and wrapped her arms around Michael’s neck. “I was thinking you could talk to your mom or dad and see if she could help her find a place?”

Since the town of Bayside is so small, only one real estate team was needed, and that just so happened to be Michael’s parents. They worked as a team and had their own office in the middle of town and did very well, surprisingly. Not many people moved to Bayside, almost everyone just passing through on the way to their destination, but lots of businesses were interested in the town and expanding their business to Bayside.

“I can ask her,” Michael smiled and gave Amy a quick peck before pulling away and turning his attention to Neena who was standing there awkwardly messing with the strap of her duffle bag that was still hanging on her shoulder. “I’m Michael.”

“Neena.” She pursed her lips.

“I’ll show you to your room.” Michael motioned for her to follow him, since Amy was already hopping in the shower and Neena followed him. He swung the door open, revealing a small room with bright yellow walls, a twin bed in the corner, and a small dresser. Attached to it was a small bathroom and a closet that Neena knew she wouldn’t be using since she didn’t plan on unpacking her things until she found a house of her own. “I hope this works for you.”

Neena nodded her head. “Much better than the beach.” She exhaled a laugh as did Michael. “Thank you, Michael.”

“Course. Get yourself settled and comfortable,” Michael made his way to leave the room, but stopped and spun around to face Neena. “Hey, uh, Amy and I and a couple of our friends are going out for drinks and food tonight. Did you want to come?”

Neena knew she would need to be making friends if she planned on staying for a while, but she wasn’t ready to so soon. She hadn’t planned on meeting Amy and Michael so early on, and she was glad she did, but she didn’t want to overwhelm herself with meeting so many new people at once. Plus, she was exhausted and sleeping on a bed for a change, instead of a bus or the beach, sounded way too appealing to her to pass up.

“I’m good. Thanks, though.”

Michael smiled and nodded his head before exiting Neena’s new, temporary room, and shut the door behind him. Neena fell back onto the bed, the springs squeaking just a little bit under her, and sighed. She was thankful for letting these two strangers-turned-friends stay in their house, but she knew she couldn’t squat there for too long, didn’t want to overstay her welcome. The thought of living alone scared her, with Ben in the back of her mind constantly, but she was starting over. Starting a new life. By herself and she had to get used to it.

ALL THE ROSE PROFILES (so far)

Cherry Brandy is an ART MOM, even if they’re not a mom and even if they’re not related to you- if you call them ‘mom’ they will respond. Folk art, goes to craft shows and sells painted chairs. Buys way more art than they sell. Too many necklaces and rings, many layers of clothes. Stylish yet comfy. Coffee Break is Farmer’s Market Dad, despite being no one’s father and also bearing no relation to you. If there is a space in their home that has room for a bookshelf, there is a bookshelf there and by golly- there are books. The occasional cigar. It’s uncertain whether they were in the Navy, but the stories they tell certainly would imply it. Blazers and loafers.

Jade- Is all about the chill. Listens to vaporwave and trance music. Has been to at least one silent disco and would definitely go back if they could remember where it was. Manages to both never sleep and also sleep all the time. Can never find them when you need them. Sonrisa- Calls you ‘sweet pea’ and means it. Lemonade, jean shorts, and a toolbox. Knows how to carry a tune and give your truck a tune-up. Sneaks out at night even though they don’t have a curfew, no one knows where they go. Pink Mondial- is going to have the fairytale wedding that they imagined when they were six, despite not having a significant other yet. Still waiting for 'the one.’ Attempted online dating at one point but got a little freaked out by it. Prefers cake over ice cream. Tara- The party don’t start til they walk in! A real night-owl. Neon signs and headlights, cover charges and cutting in line. Always hungry, trying to fill a void. Doesn’t remember what daylight looks like. Sarcastic sense of humor to cover up low self-esteem. Tibet- T I R E D. So tired. Please just let them sleep. They are tired. Makes jokes that they don’t realize that are morbid until they tell it to the wrong person and then they feel bad about it for the next four years. Curious about death and dying, but not in a goth way- more in a science and philosophy way. But still… just… so… tired. Go to bed, Tibet. Blueberry- Will never graduate from their Emo Phase. If it’s black with a neon accent, they will buy it, wear it, and when the thing is worn into torn rags they will sew it into something else. Tries really hard to be edgy but comes off as… trying REALLY hard to be edgy. Resurrects memes from the early 2000’s as a coping mechanism. Striped socks. Invader Zim. Made you a cookie, but they eated it. Neena- The kind of artist that other artists HATE. Uses unconventional materials- melted crayons, tar paper, house paint, scrap metal. Has an entire shed dedicated to the accumulation of this stuff and even actually uses it. Knows how to weld. If you’ve got some junk you want gone, they’ll make something out of it and what’s worse? They’ll sell it for a dollar with a smug smile on their face. Youtube personality.

Nina- Shy. A popular person, but they have no idea why. Everyone wants them to become a model or actor but they get stage fright too easily and aren’t likely to change that about themselves. Prefers numbers to people, but can be coerced out to social places provided it isn’t too loud there. Carpe Diem- Just let them be a mermaid. It’s all they want. They wanted to be a marine biologist because they thought it meant they could swim with dolphins but it turns out you have to memorize a bunch of names. Hair goes down to their butt and proud of it. Flower crowns. Seashells in their jewelry. Saw Aquaman four times in theaters.

Iguana is a Crafter with a capital C. If there’s a Pinterest tutorial on it, they’ve tried to make it at least once (to the result of many failures.) Their business model is ‘nothing ventured, nothing gained.’ There is glitter. Everywhere. Their house is a mess and there’s nothing that can stop it from getting bigger. Fabric hoarder. Tends to say things like 'I’ll use it in /something/.’ Brighton used to play the flute in high school, but the competitive nature of music school has burned them out on instruments that aren’t fun. Now plays the ukelele on Youtube. Sundresses, short hair, winged eyeliner. Attempted unicycle. Has had many, many different jobs. None of them stuck. Emotional support extrovert. Ocean Song is The Sad Friend. Gets their hopes up easy and just as easily gets their feelings hurt. Just wants to stay at home and curl up in a blanket for the next century but /noooooo./ Listens to binaural beats and ASMR videos. Forgets to eat. Often. Needs someone to check on them. Black Magic is Old School Goth. Remembers when Hot Topic wasn’t a thing and is kind of glad it’s not 'the goth store’ anymore because it kind of wasn’t goth enough for them anyway (but they still shopped there. Has at least two keychains from The Old Days). Coffee. Unabashedly Bad Poetry. Despite all this? Probably the most genuinely optimistic people you’ve ever met. Atomic has spent more than one summer working for a traveling circus. Has tattoos they don’t remember getting but figures 'it’s all good.’ Rides a motorcycle and keeps a journal of their travels across the states- but it’s mostly a record of places where they’ve seen cool dogs. Tells excellent stories- who gives a crap if they’re true or not? Has been craving venison for like four years now.

Tycoon is TOTALLY RAD and knows all the best spots for surfing, snowboarding, and mountain biking. Drinks like four Monsters a day, but won’t touch alcohol after that one night they played Thumper and got too messed up over it and they swear they’re clean now. Misses Ska. Tiffany has a really, really, really strong urge to find a spot on the beach, set up an umbrella and blanket, and spend the rest of their life reading trashy romance novels there. Has at least one piece of art that says ‘live laugh love’ and it’s probably in their living room. Breakfast consists of coffee and biscotti.

Shogun is a hopeless romantic that handwrites all their letters. She loves wine a little too much, and sings ‘Total Eclipse if the Heart’ at karaoke. Brave is a woman working her way to the top of the corporate ladder and specifically asks for every Wednesday off- not because she has a prior engagement on that day but just to make herself seem like a desireable candidate by appearing to have other commitments. She spends this day at a Mexican restaurant eating bottomless tortilla chips and salsa. Amnesia has a finely-curated Instagram with a penchant for beautifully ugly things, such as graffiti or rusting structures. They carry a camera with them everywhere and think of themselves as an observer of humanity rather than a participant. Tabasco has driven the entire length of the US twice and would do it again in a heartbeat if someone told them there was a burger joint they just had to try. Unironically idolizes Guy Fieri.

8 Times Neena Gupta Proved Her Taste In Fashion Is Modern And Fierce Even At 60

Neena Gupta is a woman who needs no introduction. But we’re still going to try. For those of you who are unaware of this gem of a woman, Neena Gupta is a talented actress known for her body of work. The actress has starred in numerous films across genres that include both commercial and art-house films. A role that skyrocketed her to fame status was that of a bumbling young and shrewd secretary by the name of Priya in the Kundan Shah directed film, Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron. The film featured an ensemble cast and also starred Naseeruddin Shah, Ravi Baswani, and Om Puri amongst many other talented names. Released in 1983, the movie was path-breaking in its time and revived the genre of dark and satire comedy, featuring mandy morbid scenes cast hilariously (Who can forget that infamous dead-body, cross-dressing Draupadi moment?).

Besides her groundbreaking roles, Neena is also an extremely photogenic woman and has posed for many big fashion names. The biggest being, her own daughter, Masaba Gupta’s work. Here are 8 times Neena Gupta slayed the fashion game and proved that age is just a number:

1. When She Rocked A Leather Jacket

2. When She Rocked A Loose White Shirt On A Long Skirt

Being the mother of one of India’s most talented fashion designers has its perks. Neena is often spotted wearing her doting daughter’s designer wear and extensive accessory collection. The actress kept her look basic and paired the exquisite accessories with a loose white off-shoulder shirt and a frilly skirt. Who’d have come up with the idea of such an interesting combination except for Neena Gupta?
