Hazel and me dressed as Suzy and Sam from Moonrise Kingdom on our way to see it in Omaha. We’re both in all vintage except for my Meadham Kirchhoff crown. We were all obsessed with this gas station sign.
I’ve had this backpack since preschool, and sewed on these Moonrise Kingdom patches for our meet-up! (Nobody cared except me.)
Hazel with the important accessory of pizza.
Me in our hotel room in Iowa, presumably thinking some very deep thoughts. Vintage dress.
More of the Iowa room.
These next few are from a river swim we took with new friends in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
We brought my portable record player and the Todd Rundgren kind of harmonized with the sounds of this train that went by.

More rad SF style!

No clue what I was doing, but I’m pretty sure this was in Iowa.
Hazel at a gas station. That Love’s logo is so killer.
A reader in Portland, killing it.
From when we stopped at a place called Penny’s Diner, in Wyoming I think? I am wearing a Prada skirt. It is probably sacrilegious to have let it near all that dirt, but I want my clothes to contain signs of LIFE, dammit.
Sunglasses and collar from Urban Outfitters, Petra’s top.
This car broke my heart.
At the Twin Peaks diner in Washington! I am wearing a vintage dress and saddle shoes in honor of Audrey Horne. Also, I don’t know if you can see, but I stuck a red Hunx comb in my sock, too.
Obviously, it looks nothing like it did in the show.
Trying to reenact that one terrifying part of the Twin Peaks pilot. We looked for those train tracks for FOREVER and eventually had to settle on this bridge.
America and stuff.
Moody in Idaho.
A couple of cool gals at our Ann Arbor meet-up.

Lovely, lovely album
Awesome. I could feel the weather in the pictures!!! <3
Beautiful, photography inspiration as always. <3 I always end up wondering how many are posed or planned, and how many are happy accidents/fate aligning to provide interesting subject matter.
Hazel where did you get that awesome red and white plaid skirt?
ASOS!
THIS NEEDS INVESTIGATING.
Can i have every article of clothing and accessory pictured in these photos k thanks
i feel like i’m trying to live through all these photo’s via my laptop screen
So gorgeous! I love #34 haha. :)
Girls, seriously, you’re just A-M-A-Z-I-N-G.
THE SUNGLASSES ON NUMBER 6. WHERE DO YOU FIND SUNGLASSES LIKE THAT. And 50 and has the girl with the Night Channel’s Uzumaki shirt, who I want to hang with.
i think every time i’m sad i need to remember this is here and come and look at it because it’s so p e r f e c t
Rookie, you are giving me such bad wanderlust.
Every picture here is beautiful and makes me happy, except maybe the armpit one c:Thanks for brightening my day Rookies!
~Caroline~
I love all of these!
7-12 look like scenes from a beatnik album.
I meant book?
This is unbelievably beautiful. 51 is such a great photograph.
You’re a dream. Such beautiful pictures! Summer is captured right there…
This is so beautiful and amazing and wonderful. I live vicariously through you girls.
Where do you all find such fiiiiiine guys to hang out with (and clothes? and ahhh you guys are too good)
I was just at Twede’s cafe, three weeks ago! So cooool. I love all the Twin Peaks stuff they have in the back
damn, how’d you fit all those outfits in your van?
My favourites are #2, #32 and cute boizzz in #8.
Love you all, you are beautiful!
ya who are the kewties in number 8 eh??
god rookie is like a girls school who get super excited when a boy walks past
in a goooood way
Those are Hazel’s friends!
This pictures are so inspiring for makeup/style stuff, plus overall confidence because everyone in the rookie pictures seems to have this “i’m a cool chick and I deserve your time” attitude even if they don’t always feel that way.
PLEASE PLEASE visit DC on your next road trip (or without a road trip-just come here)! Seriously I’d be super happy if you visited and I feel like rookie would like DC because we have that mixture of intellectual politics stuff, but also cool record stores and #hipster activities.
Also, DC area rookies should do a meetup.
these photographs are so beautiful and atmospheric. MAKE A PHOTO BOOK PLEASE SO I CAN BUY IT AND KEEP IT FOREVER? <3
Photo #5- what’s on the bed? I love these pictures by the way…I kind of regret not coming to the Ann Arbor meetup.
Petra is such a babe.
Love the Uzumaki shirt in #50/#51. Horror nerd for life!
I love the desert- there’s just a feeling I get from it that I can’t explain.
But where are all of you rad girls? Clearly not in Rhode Island! :-(
so nice! my favorites are the ones with the boys and the dock and the lake. every picture in this article really makes me love summer. i’m going to miss it.
These are absolutely beautiful, Petra. Lovely photo diary, I want to go on a road trip too!
xo, Tori
That girl in SF with the beaded sweater and the hand-shaped sweater guard was so perfect. She and her friends were the first people I saw when I walked up to Bi-Rite, and it just so happened I was also wearing my schoolgirl skirt, hand-shaped sweater guard, and beaded sweater that day. (Although, unlike her, I couldn’t commit to the beaded sweater because it was hot!) I love SF Rookies.
petra, may i ask what camera and film you use? or at least the film? the photos are great!
#34: finally, THIS. I love this picture. I love that all of this means being a girl. Being a women is everything; what people call “tomboys”(for me is just a girl; why boys just can look like that?), what people call super girly, I don’t like to separate that. Because using make up or a miniskirt does not mean that I’m a brainless or a slut, or if I have hair in my legs or in my underarm does not mean I’m lesbian or ugly. That is why I like Rookie.
I love this so much! I wish I could go on a road trip like this!
i love all the pictures, but #14 is my fave!
amazing petra! cant wait for summer in australia! i can almost taste it.
thank you for 34!!!! as someone who doesn’t shave her armpits it feels really great to see this in a magazine for teenage girls, rather than an explanation of how to get rid of my armpit hair
this.is.literally.perfect.
Beautiful stuff. You guys look like you had a killer time.
These pictures are so cool and beautiful and summery and I miss Tavi´s captions.
I think you should do a movie about Road Trip, Rookies!
i’m adding them later! this week was too cray for me.
I thought so :) Good luck in school everybody!
what camera and film did you use in these amazing photos? xx
Uh… seeing those pictures… I really want to go to the U.S.A. when i’m 21… Why are the flights so expensive? Oh one question: Will the Team of Rookiemag ever come to Europe? Keep up the great work!
Once again, those beautiful photos leave me so impressed and jealous about the road trip!
These are beautiful Petra! What camera(s) do you use? They look like film ones.
You guys are the best and this whole thing is like, what the hell year is it, I can’t remember, oh god, I miss using film. xoxoxoxo
14th is amazing!!! I love the mood in these pictures. Makes me wanna go out and have some fun ^^
Beautiful pictures! I suppose you have an analog camera, may I ask you which film did you use?
Sometimes I wish I could be American especially when I see pictures like those one.
Rookie rocks!!
this is my favourite photoset yet, because you can feel the athmosphere.
ps. you guys should do an instrument decorating tutorial!

This is my favorite photoset I’ve seen on Rookie so far, ever. (Part 1 is a close second.) Every single picture is so perfect and gorgeous and PRETTY.
Well, every picture on Rookie is perfect and gorgeous and pretty, but these… wow. Just wow. These are somethin’ else.
By the way, this is my first comment on Rookie… YAY! :)))))
This is so inspiring, thank you for that.
I really have the problem of wanderlust now. And blooming creativity, but no time at all… too bad.
And thank you for picture 34. I never found the coruage to NOT shave my armpits/legs, but I don’t feel comfortable around people then… even though I would really love to stop all this… pressure about it.
Thanks.
xx
#50 Uzumaki!
That picture of Tavi in front of the R&R Diner is basically two of the greatest things of all time converging into one glorious, glorious image. I peed myself just a little bit. Well done, Petra! Well done.
Everywhere I look, I just see beauty.
Tavi is so pretty :o she looks like Michelle Williams
These photos have so much character. At one point I could almost feel the warmth of the summer sun on my skin but then I realised it was my laptop overheating.
Also, those boys are very cute :D
I changed my desktop backround like four times when I saw all of these stunning images. I finally decided to set my backround as the photo with Miss Tavi fanning her lovely self with that lovely fan while wearing that lovely skirt while standing in front of that lovely car. They look fantastic, Miss Petra!
I absolutely love these pictures. Now I am just aching (even more than before!) to go on a roadtrip through the USA. It is definitely on my bucketlist. Oh, one day..
This is just omg like the Tavi diaries i love it it is amazing and perf
These photos are soooo pretty.
shehadtogetout.tumblr.com
Oh!! You girls are soo pretty !!
Tavi and Hazel <3<3
And now Petra is my new favorite photographer ever :)
Tavi, where did u get that beautiful swimsuit?? I LOVE IT!
xoxoxooxox from Chile!
Delia*s! It’s my sister’s.
Tavi, your hair accessory in photo 56 is so amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!
agreed! if it’s diy, a tutorial of how to make it would be awesome
The gals in 25 look SO PERFECT oh my god. Like a still from a 90’s coming of age film. And I’m totally lusting after Tavi’s perfect Prada lip skirt.
I am happy that a lot of people in the comments like my Uzumaki shirt. (*/∇\*)
Didn’t see that THEESatisfaction shirt the first time please do tell
Loving these!
What camera and film were used????
Ahh so for some reason none of the images for albums on Rookie show up on my computer anymore and I’m not sure why :( Also the images on the side of articles on the home page are missing. Can anyone help with this? Thanks!
What browser are you using?
Firefox. I was thinking it would be good to try it on safari or something…looks like it does work there, thanks.
Totally dead over Hazel’s Hunx tee. Need. Now.
So happy I can finally see this pictures (thanks, Anaheed!) . They are so so beautiful :)
those pics are AMAZING!!! I love them all so much!
I LOVE THE SHOES ON #20! Pray do tell, where did you get them?
I got them from the Barneys Warehouse Sale. Brand is Marsèll.
These images are each wonderful non-dream dreams. I so wish I had been there. :) Aaaaaaannd I didn’t realize how incredible Tavi’s voice is. You are nearly a literal song bird.
How did I miss this one? It’s amazing. and the fact that Tavi likes twin peaks….its official = coolest girl in the world.
these photos are beautiful and inspiring!
This makes me so happy. Every shot is precious!
