Lava lamp heels sound fun. Number 12 is my favourite.
I like the choker in the first pic. I had one in elementary school and i wore it everyday :)
NUMBER 8 IS PERFECTION!!!!!!!!!!!
Great photos! I love the heels in #16!

thirteen fourteen fifteen yeeeeeeeeesss

rookie is so cool,
i love rookie so much,

just made up a lil song, y’know>.<
these pictures are completely and utterly fabulouso by the way…though i say that every time there's a picture post on rookie!
The colors are breathtakiiiiiiiiing i love love love this….btw where is the clothing from?? or the accesories? :o
the clothes are from the thrift and handmade also the jewelry are from various etsy shops!~
so good!!! definitely one of my favorite rookie shoots
I second this.
15 is so glorious. Great set!!!
I think this may be one of my favorite photo spreads on rookie??? <3
I love this ALL so much!!! Especialy the hair horns!
SO much nineties, this is amazing!!!!! The HAIR of the first woman! In little knots!! Omgggg
So 90s it hurts. Come on guys, this is 2012.
wait are you trying to say 90’s is a bad thing? WHO ARE YOU?
oh my god this rocks so much! so so beautiful!
Geeze. Why are all of your models soooo thin? Curves, please!
This reminds me of the fashion in Never Been Kissed!
These are really beautiful! The horned ribboned hair feels really anime. You definitely captured a beautiful mood!
Wow! The colours in this are beautiful!! As are the clothes!!
I have set up a fan club for readers of Rookie in the UK at so please join us!!
Rookie it would be so, so cool if we could buy some of your beautiful photoshoot pictures as posters, or packs of postcards? I’d love to have some of these (especially that shoot with all the glitter and stuff on the pictures oh my god) up in my room, but if I print them out they’ll come out crappy!
Maybe put these on a USB key and go to a photo station (not sure of the word) where you can print photos from a USB key.
Also some websites allow you to print photos for less than in a photo station and get these mailed, etc. You just have to upload the pictures in .jpg or whatever format. Like Photobox, there are others; search “print photos online” on a search engine.
It would be better if the money went to Rookie, though :(
I really love the atmosphere. and I love in the third one how she’s taller than the guy. the styling is perfect and the tones of the photographs are wonderful, they’re really timeless.
great job erica (as per usual!)
also by the way rookie editor folks the link about the road trip links to tumblr log in (a page that says ‘sign in’ pops up) not to the post on the rookie blog.
I love 6,7,8,14 and 15, so practically all of them, the ‘aura’ of them is breath-taking.
perfect perfect perfect, my 90s dream
Erica! You are brilliant.
Does anyone else think that the girl in the photo on the right in #1 looks like Natalie Portman?
Also, the sunglasses are wonderful
The guy is totes cute
I love that you’ve got a shorter guy smooching a tall girl! I’m tall myself and there are hardly EVER tall girl/shorter guy relationships in the media :(
ps. I love everything in this shoot!!
the 90s feel in these is unbeatable. it’s pure magic!
Where are the heels in #16 from?!? They are glorious! This shoot is fantastic!
I LOVE numbers 6, 13 and 15! Amazing shoot :)
AMAZING! I love number 14 especially. Just magical photos.
xo, Tori
I am over the moon with the 90’s vibes of this whole shoot. Why can’t I be living in the 90’s right now? Like, why?
god god god those black flatform sandal things.
Such a 90s vibe, I love it. Major nostalgia. One of my faves to date!
AMAZING
This has got to be one of my favorite spreads! I can remember when people dressed like this-makes me feel old and nostalgic :-( I LOVE IT THOUGH :-)!
OOOOOOOOOOOOH!
This is so cool, lots of late 90s vibez. Picture 14 sorta reminds me of Vyvyan from The Young Ones.
These pics are so great. And those heels….
Rookie, please do a tutorial on how to do the hair horns. Please.
I am so, so going to DIY those sunglasses oh my goodness. These are lovely photographs.
Wow. This looks so strange and fascinating. It makes me think of : 90s/”white trash”/alien/Japan/drug hallucinations. Don’t know whether it’s what you had in mind when taking these photos, but they really give off a feeling of total weirdness. I could just stare at them for hours…
I don’t have enough words to describe the impressions these photos give me.
In short, this photo series is awesome. Thanks Erica, and thanks Rookie for being so inspiring!
didnt i take this?
i wish someone would credit me
amazing pictures,
i love how the models always have an original and beautiful style !
#8, #9, #17 are perfect!
YESSSSSSS! You da GuRL!!!!!!!!
The styling is A-mazing
BE STILL MY HEART. Erica, these are probably some of my favorite photos you have ever taken, it makes me admire a time I never had the pleasure of knowing.
impeccable
i dig it
Those daisy glasses are awesome!!

This photo shoot really brings me back. You captured the 90s generation so well and so amazingly. I feel like you were this age then! Amazing.

One of my all time favorite photo shoots on Rookie the VIBEZ I’m feeling are so spot-on.
sO PERFECT . i will remember forever. <3
These remind me of Meg White in an awesome way.
21 is amazing
