There are also some great new artists and blogs on the scene ripe for the pickin', delicate summer fashion, mid-century home decor and some of the usual blogosphere fare.

Design Milk clued me into the amazing work of Ernesto Burgos. So cool! Check it out.  

Looking to define your summer aesthetic? Abby Try Again has some great inspirations! It's all lace and slips and feminine delicacy. I can most definitely get down with this. 

I had an opportunity to get a sneak peak at the Buckminster Fuller exhibition, "Starting With the Universe," opening today at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York. If you're in the area, it's a definite must see. That man's brain is truly something to marvel at. Read more about the exhibition in The New Yorker. 

This apartment "before and after" was really not looking so terrible in the first place. However, the owner totally took this place to the next level, simplified the excess knick knacks and made all the elements work. I want to live there! [Via Apartment Therapy LA] 

 
Wonting has such good taste! This scarf by Little Factory is laser cut uppercase letters. Tres chic! Keep your eye on Wonting's blog: it's definitely worth a look.

 
A Print A Day has been totally into terrariums recently. I can't say that the Storque disagrees! We're pretty plant addicted over here.
