Hello, you. June’s theme will be LONGING. Unlike more-acute forms of desire like desperation or need, longing is a sweet ache—more pining for something than dying for it. It’s nostalgia, homesickness, boredom, a persistent feeling of lack, dreaming of escape/the future. It’s summer: summer homes & cottages, stuffy summer bedrooms, sun-bleached memories of summers past. The shadow of September that hangs over June. It’s secret hangouts, crushes, unrequited love. Send what you’ve got here, and thanks. ♥
I’ll miss this

February’s theme really should just be “margot tenenbaum” since she pops up so much on rookie (not that i’m complaining, i love her)!
Log in to replysooooo many of my favourite pictures ever in the moodboard there… the top left from fudge magazine, wild thing abbey, autumn’s perfect-couch-matching-yellow-dress, maurice sendak, tim walker’s mattress stack… the best…
Log in to replyThe edward scissorhands one is wonderfully strange. The film is definitely in my top 5 of all time. PLEASE OH PLEASE do an article on the film; on its creepiness, fashion and the philosophical aspects…..

Log in to replyone of my favourite part about this website are the themed backgrounds each day. i absolutely love them.
Log in to replyThat creepy town from Edward Scissorhands is MY town. It’s a subdivision called Carpenter’s Run in Land O’ Lakes, FL. I live about five minutes from there. The houses aren’t actually pastel colored.
