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. ♥

Thank you so much for these pictures. I love them! Number 19 is going to be up in our room from now on with our Rookie Week/Strange Magic/BESTWEEKEVER shrine.
And number 17 is now my desktop. It’s funny to be staring at my feet all the time, but it’s just too awesome!
LOVE LOVE LOVE,

My school prom was not nearly this magical. Still, I had a great time. If you have the chance, everyone, go. Even if it’s not considered the coolest event. It’s memorable and corny and a bit overhyped, but that’s what makes it so special :)

side note- I was having an awful day at school. I came home and the Rookie yearbook arrived, and it honestly made my day.

Log in to replyAlso, who’s sequined jacket is that because I am going to your house and sneakily steal it mwahaha or you can tell me where you got it.
Found this when it was on Jimmy Fallon.
Log in to replySuch great photos – I especially love n 17.
Log in to replyEveryone just looks so super awesome!
these are wonderful and beautiful.
Log in to replyWonderful as usually :)
But there’s one thing that bothers me: am I right that Rookie is kinda sponsored by Urban Outfitters?
Log in to replyBecause i don’t find their ‘eat less’ and Jewish star t-shirts (with a little bit of searching on the internet i could probably make that list longer) very tactful and when i saw conversation about it on Tumblr there wasn’t much of a responds from Rookie-girls…
Are these Urban Outfit controversial actions like the new taboo?!
Our road trip this summer was a sponsored by Urban Outfitters, not our company/site. I don’t find those T-shirts very tactful either and if I’m not mistaken the company pulled them from their stores.
Log in to replythis is perfect.

Log in to replythis is what every prom should be like! its so perfect i wish mine was like that haha
Log in to replyIf you do the Rookie road trip again, I hope you switch it up and start in L.A. and end in New York City so people on the East Coast can do this stuff too!
Log in to replyOHMYGOD YES
Log in to replyI WOULD SO MUCH RATHER GO TO A ROOKIE PROM THAN MY SCHOOL’S PROM
number 4, TAVI AND PETRA HOW DO YOU LOOK THIS GOOD??? I know we’ve had a vintage prom dress article, but how about a how to get ready and just extra stuff, because I have my first ever end of school prom coming up this year and I need HELP xoxox
Log in to replyIs it just me or does the girl on the left looks crazily like Grimes?
P.S I here Australia’s pretty good for road trips?
You know, whatever I’m just sayin’… You guys might enjoy it perhaps you know… 2013? Am I being subtle enough?
Log in to replySo so lovely! What camera was Petra using?
Log in to replyI wish I could get a prom like this =)
