After a long and harried week, vacation is on the horizon and I'm just itching to be sitting poolside. No need to mess around—let's get right to the good stuff! 

Read on! 


Lookbook.nu
is a pretty rad fashion site. It's conceptually similar to Wardrobe Remix (with heavy cross-over, so it seems!), with commenting, oftentimes brilliant photography and great fashion. You can tag your clothing with where you got it and vote for your favorite looks, increasing their "hypeness." Pretty interesting stuff! 


Wow. These amazing doll dioramas by Design DNA have officially blown my mind. Thanks, Christina!


Swedish photographer abless' photos are so unbelievably dreamy and evocative. Who wouldn't want to live that life? [Via Neon Polish]


Austrian milliner Julia Cranz's work is totally awe-inspiring. (I especially love the sequin eyebrows.)


I'm so intrigued by artist Emory Douglas. As a member of the Black Panther Party, he was a frequent contributor to its newspaper, "The Black Panther". His artwork is psychedelic, satirical, radical—in short, amazing. He was recently featured in a show at MOCA and a retrospective of his work was published in conjunction. I can't wait to learn more about him. [Via Routine Investigations]

Those abless' photos are ultra cool! Doesn't really make sense but they feel familiar.

AWESOME!
