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. ♥
These are sooo pretty!

Pantonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
How many teenage girls are there in the world that know who Willliam Eggleston and Verner Panton are? Rookie pays tribute to teen movies AND, you know, somewhat obscure designers, which I find…. refreshing.
Like milk with ice.
