Leeann Duggan recently moved from a city that always sleeps to New York City, where models ride the subway and bagels are delivered right to your door. When not wondering what took her so long, she writes about fashion, feminism, feelings and all manner of frippery at Born in Flames.

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. ♥
