This is how I want my summer to look, light and breezy with blue skies and palm trees. Check out the rest of the Nasty Gal summer lookbooks on their blog.

The Lone Surfer

I just can't get enough of this song, Mykonos, by Fleet Foxes. I've been listening to it all day as well as the rest of their songs. I'm so in love with their sound, that I can't remember the last time I felt like this with a band. I just came across this cool video of a lone surfer girl on her board, that pared with the song just gives off an amazing feeling. Have a look:

Awake and Dreaming

I love Flickr! It's an amazing way to discover talented photographers and artists and I've so enjoyed roaming their many gorgeous galleries. A while ago I discovered these dreamy photographs by Amalia Chimera. Her work makes me think of childhood memories, summers drifing by, and magical tales of wonderous places. If you want to see more you can visit Amalia's website or Flickr or shop some of her prints on Etsy.
