My New Best Friend


Today I'm #OBSESSED with the one and only ROOKIE MAG !!!!!! Rookie Mag is an online publication for teenage girls, ran by 15-year-old Tavi Gevinson. Sounds simple enough, but the difference between Rookie and other publications is its unique (can be replaced with awesome) point of view. The staff is comprised of a bunch of real-life ladies (and a couple cool dudes) from all over the world and they just say what we are all thinking and somehow know really valid things to write about.For example, the piece An Actually Useful Article for Dressing for a Party gets real about what is important to consider when dressing up to go out, emphasizing what the night's goal is rather than what is like "so hot right now".
4monthsatsea definitely wants to be something even remotely similar to Rookie Mag when it grows up.

In addition to their super relevant/interesting/fun articles, Rookie has great visuals! I'm in love with Minna Gilligan's  kitschy collages, among the other fun illustrations and photographs.
