Ou always collect the most wonderful images Tavi.
Disclaimer: these photos will prompt you to get a record player by any means necessary, thank god I already have one.
I'm going to go cuddle with girls and touch my boobs!
Megan: Good! Because this post was actually sponsored by the Record Player And Girls And Boobs Store so it's nice to know my advertising is effective.
lovely collection! nice songs too...
i really love some of those picture photo things
flossie xx
These are such beautiful photos x
You love Joni Mitchell, don't you? She's amazing. I'm lovin' the musical sweater and smirking Snoopy.

I love the post - it reminds me of being very young and watching American movies wondering what this life is all about.
Thank you for an Fantastic blog!!!
What a great collection of inspirations. I knew that line was from So Far Away :) And I think that shot of Stevie is from her Belladonna tour. Always a big fan of your music picks!
<333
Yay for Tiny Dancer.
And I'm glad you figured out the YouTube embed thing. I read your cry* for help on Tumblr, sadly I know a lot less about it than you do. :p
yes, your post are full of interesting photos everytime, i like your blog really much^^
Tavi that's awesome! I also played all five songs at the same time because I thought you might have wanted it that way, but it it didn't sound so great, maybe only three at once would work, I'll test it out.
Such beautiful photos. You have some great sources of inspiration, Tavi, really!
FUQ FASHUN! This is your best post evaaaa!
Lick the Star, Carole, Cecilia's bracelets, Runawayz and FUKIN NOW AND DEN! Roberta strapping her bra is my adolescent spirit animal.
I love The Virgin Suicides, and now and Then. Such good movies.
My Heart Blogged
Tavi, somehow I always get really excited when you reply to comments/ comment on your post.
Anyway, the fourth picture with Cosmo got me kind of laughing. I'm not sure why.
Megan: That's a brilliant idea! I hadn't thought of that.
Brodie: Roberta is my fave.
Kaiami: Well then, allow me to reply to yours!
...Wasn't that exciting?!
wow, tavi, i never seen your comment replying....^^ it's interseting...:D
anyways, your post with a lovely musics are... FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok start song 2 on high volume and start song 5 at 19 seconds (of song 2) on low volume, then switch volume levels at 38 seconds (of song 2) that's as far as I got, I like the two voices and harmonies combined.
and also,
start song 1 and start the song 4 at 10 seconds. it sounds great, too
the harmony of two accompaniment...
but!! if the song 4's voice start, it doesn't sound veeeryyy well....
"...i got back in my car
but there was a strange figure
on the dashboard
as i looked closer,
it was a jewelled goose
an it shouted "gobble gobble" at me
i said
"don't you know where i'm from?"
she got mad an swore at me..."

I've always found freckles to be a desirable trait. I wish I had lots. I have beauty marks(as I like to call them) but those nose freckles only show up after much drying up in the sun.
The picture of the girl with long hair and then cut off is lovely. Inspiring. It's on my brave list of things to do- cutting off my hair, short, and by my own hands.
Love the photographs!

Hey, Tavi. Yours is a blog I have always enjoyed and I read your every post but lately I've noticed a decline in the writing part and an increase in the posting-a-bunch-of-cool-images part. I am aware that's a very strong trend in the blogging world right now but what I appreciated most about Style Rookie was precisely the fact that it had original content, content written by YOU and my point is...please please pretty please, Tavi, don't slip into the "visual" blog pitfall and give us more of your - well - blogging.
All the best,
http://naked-sets.blogspot.com/
Beautiful set! LOved the free spirit flare of it!
you have some great photos!
Fantastic Tavi! A beautiful post, as always.
I guess I'm the only one who found this post pretty damn sad. It reminds me of having a crush on my best friend in high school -- makes me really miss her. These pictures really knocked me out.
Love the Cat Stevens/Carole King, also.
70's win. Great selection of movies in there too!
It would be so fine to see your face at my door.
Good photograpy selection :)
http://benisinthehaus.blogspot.com/
Oh Tavi, I LOVE this one. It's everything that was beautiful and strange and sad about being a teenager. You are great.
Tavi, these pictures are amazing. They're so inspiring.
And I defenitely want a pullover with a sheet music ( do you say that)!!
These photos are amazing !
xoxo,Kinga.
I love all those pictures, they are so amazingly awesome!
Please check out my blog if you get the chance and let me know what you think :)

Featherlane, it's a kind-of-sad knockout for me too.
That time when your body forces you to turn from a girl into a woman. And what options are out there to fill out the phrase "being a woman" with actual factual living bleeding desire arousing and possibly child bearing content?
Pictures can avake and express such feelings and it's much safer to look at them than actually be in the presence of a person in the state of this transition. How many have tried and faled to solve this mystery?
For some reason this post evoked profound thought. I don't know why, I just found it was much more than a collection of photographs. They seem to all relate to one another. So so beautiful. Much love,
http://loveisdeer.blogspot.com
Nice one. Anyway as for the title I think a lot of people stay in one place, but if you want something new it's always fun to move an experience the unexpected it makes life a lot more interesting.
Jeez. My biography online from someone I do not even know. I guess here is my 15 minutes of anonymous fame.
so much now & then. love it
http://www.postmodernrunway.com/
I'm glad I'm a teenager. Ahhh I love Elton John! The Janis Ian song is amazing. So nice to hear music about love and growing up and being a person that isn't another T-Swift song. Omigosh, I saw Megan's comment and I just started playing all the other songs when Tiny Dancer was about half-way through, and the effect sounds really. really. cool.
marvelous images.. very inspirational
I adore Joni Mitchell. I love how you combined these images!
Your inspiration posts always amaze me, I can't get over their impeccable atmosphere. I also get jealous and want to be better than you, but that's perfectly normal, I guess.
love the yearbook photo,
hope you come and follow me :)

eeep i love this song! the whole post makes me kind of melancholy... but an inspired melancholy!
http://watermelonfeet.blogspot.com
I love the latest photo/music collections you've been doing! They take me back to a time when I was young and disenfranchised, dreaming of meeting my soulmate in a hidden field of flowers.
Wow - they are eerie. I love them. Those covered faces look like the faces of Samara from "The Ring".
Thanks guys!
Orjen: I prefer to express myself however I feel is appropriate for the topic at hand. I'm still developing as a writer and I'd like to explore different mediums of expression as well. I'm also 14 -- changing all the time, different ideas, etc., and I think it would be pretty sad if I stuck with the same format I've had since I was 12. I don't know why I would tie myself down or force writing when it isn't necessary or when I have no interest in what I'm saying. Thanks for your input, though.
Featherlane and Aneta: It's funny, compiling these made it easier for me to rid of the feeling I think you're both talking about, at least temporarily. It sucks ya'll.
What nostalgia! :) I enjoyed the songs and the photos!
J'adore La Dolce Vita ♥
Megan & Boyun: I'm about to spend so much time messing around with this now..

Normally, I do not get super excited when I see a bunch of "inspirations" but I really like this one!! I'm loving the retro vibe and it just makes me want to go dress up like it's the 70s and drink soda out of a glass bottle. Btw, does anyone know what cosmo Teeny is reading in that picture? I can't find it on the internet!!

the music note sweater vest and pullover do it just right. we love you, grrl!
Oh man oh man! Joni is so great.
I saw Carole King in concert with James Taylor this summer. Hearing fire and rain live? Totally worth my solo trek across Arizona.
Try James Taylor!
Love your 70's images. My childhood was in that era so its pretty awesome looking at girl's bedroom decor photos, etc. I think it was a good time to grow up until the economy tanked.
All these pictures you find....so very fascinating....appealing to my eyes....
Love this post, all the pics are so inspiring! <3
well done!

I love how you mix the 70s original images with their 90s nostalgia counterparts, because when you grew up in the 90s or, I presume, now, they end up being kind of the same thing, the same feeling. & I think it's cool that you acknowledge that.
Great inspiration!
And love the music :).

Great collection of images. You are such an inspiration as cheesy as it sounds.
I used to really love your blog (especially all the outfit posts) so I don't want to trash it or anything, I just wish you would do less of the pretentious/overly hipster picture posts. It's just my opinion, but I think it's gotten really irritating.
it's too hard to matching all the songs everytime.... and i think that this is th e 10 or 11 time i came to your blog to do this.... wow!!!
anyways, tavi! that response was very surprised to me!!! and i will post another comment if i found other great harmony....:D
OH and tavi, what was the title of the song that you used on the vidoe "chalk"(is it right?) i think the song 1's start is very similar with that song!!!
isn't it?? it's just only my think^^
Love the photos. Esp. Now & Then one's-- one of my fav movies ever!

Lindsaymcl: In the case of this post, I was really sad when I compiled all these images and being able to somehow pinpoint that feeling actually felt sort of therapeutic. I'm okay that that doesn't come across as long as it did for me. As for the moodboards in general, I like the idea of compiling different references to express one idea, and will continue to explore it. I realize that they're pretentious, but I think my outfit posts are too, so I just don't take that into account anymore because then I second-guess everything I do.
At the moment, I have a lot of submissions I'm going through for the magazine, so time doesn't really allow for outfit posts (plus then I also get a heapload of "You're doing outfit posts but not looking at my submission?!") Someone is going to complain either way. I will continue doing what I want. If it bothers someone I hope they recognize that I'm changing a lot and just trying to experiment with new ideas. Thanks for your comment.
Wow tavi.....great pics :D you were actually my inspiration for starting a blog.....might sound a bit idiotic but o well....I'm new to bloggin just wanted to ask u to view my blog ....be warned I've only done two posts one with pics and its bull compared. To you....well great pics and thanx fofr even reading this if u did if not then this was a waste of writing lol biiii
hi tavi, i just want to say that i feel sorry and sad for you, girl in early teenage years that watch these picturs. you are so smart and intelligent person, so why to watch these picturs?!
inbal.
Ah, I tried to sum up my feelings after looking through your blog a little, but I can't put them into words :/. Actually to be honest I can:
Wow, this...omhmygod.. lulz whats she doing in that tree... ah gotta have that dress... so deep...meh I want to be like her...wow.
That didn't come out very well...
anyway, great blog :D
haha the piano sweater with musical notes? i have it, it's marc jacobs but the coolest thing about it, is when it's inside out. instead of nude, it becomes sparkly rainbow stripes and nude musical notes!
I love your blog <3 you inspired me to start my fashion blog! please check mine out :)
I love your collages! Makes me think a lot about different stuff. Movies ive seen, magazines ive read, photos i like, memories... <3
Your collages are so beautiful & there is always an image from a favorite book or film of mine.
My Summer of Love would definitely fit in here... cool movie, and sad...
I liked the Janis Ian and Carol King cuts. Janis played "At Seventeen" on the very first Saturday Night Live and the same song was used in a Simpson's episode where Homer consumes psychedelic peppers (given to him by the chief of police no less) and hallucinates among other things a coyote with the voice of Johnny Cash. The thread does not end there because a few years later Johnny Cash hosted SNL with musical guest Elton John. It's all nonsense, but still kind of fun. Tavi I am glad that I went back and read your comment on why you posted all of these images and moody songs. It's kind of the way that people sing the blues to lift their spirits. If you want to as Prince Buster sings "Enjoy Yourself", check out a video called "Simmer Down" covered by the Mighty Mighty Bosstones (Mercury Records). Stay rude stay rebel.
Of course there's a reference to one of the Lisbon girls, I agree, how could you not post it.
http://wearelikemagicianswhenwedream.blogspot.com/
such a good selection of photos, quite whimsical and child-like and naive, too. very inspiring stuff. I particularly like the first photo, from Lula?

Tavi -
your unknown pic of the two little girls in the field is from a volcano that erupted some almost 20 years ago....i don't remember the particulars, but when i was a kid, i remember reading about it in my history book....and being completely haunted by that photograph. the volcano gave off a poisonous gas - as all volcanos do - so lots of people suffocated to death. but the caption under that picture said that the little girls were sisters, and that the older sister was trying to cover the younger sister's mouth, to keep her from breathing the gas. they believe she suffocated while trying to save her sister.
bittersweetly haunting, no?
OMG, Tavi You are an Old Soul. My goodness sister, You are Amazing! Keep it up..You are a Very special girl..
I actually own Seventeen on vinyl.
you are so sweet and crazy. look here, i love joni too <3<3<3<3<3
