Log in to replyHahahaha I love how it’s called a lido.
Also where I am it’s like a million degrees right now and I am hating it but these photos make me not hate summer so much. In fact they make summer seem kind of awesome.

Log in to reply…How are they not puddles of flesh on the ground? Too hot to dress like that. :C
Log in to replyomg, this is so amazing and dreamy! it’s like a trip to another world or something. I love all the details in the outfits and the place where this was taken is perfect.
Log in to replyWhere can I find a site for Pick N Mix?
Log in to replywow this is lovely, especially all of the clothing on sophie and maeve ♥
Log in to replyBEST SHOOT EVER. I shall save up to buy a-morir sunnies and a sretsis skirt.
Log in to replyGuys, does this amazing Pick n Mix store have a site? I AM AWFULLY DESPERATE RN.
Log in to replyI love how Rookie fashion shoots always have this kind of undescriptible nostalgic feeling. Here, for me it captures the sad-mellow feeling of summer holidays that you always get in random moments, by the pool, lying on the beach… But the special thing is those pastel/bright colors worn by the models, which makes it more like a daydream on acid.
Log in to replyThe place is just perfect! And the models are all so beautiful. They look like dreamy creatures.
Just wanted to say, this is so damn great.
Thanks for ravishing our eyes Eleanor :p
This so awsome i’ve looked at the pictures like five times!!!! I love this sooo much!!
Btw tiny correction: Roberto Piqueras with and A instead of an E.
