The new Teehan+Lax website is gorgeous. Not only that, but it's also very refreshing to see someone rethinking the function and layout of the front page of their portfolio site. The site is clean and functionalistic, and seems clearly inspired by a mobile first approach. It's also sprinkled with lots of great details all over, so you need to browse around for a bit to discover everything they have done with this. Make sure that you also read Geoff and Jon's wonderfully candid story of their company.

It's refreshing to see someone approach blog design with such a different mindset as Tobias van Schneider and Stephen Burgess did with Minimal Monkey. It's especially nice when the result is something so superb as this. Make sure you don't miss this one. Via Dribbble.

As always with MailChimp's designs, their annual report is a beauty to behold. They also managed to strip away everything but the bare essentials, which is a big plus in my book. My main gripe with sites like this one that have dynamically changing backgrounds, is that it's basically impossible to capture a full page screenshot. Damn you for making my life harder, MailChimp! Damn you!

It's refreshing to see such a stripped down portfolio site as Awkward. You may have heard of their baby, Shipment, which is a similarly beautiful web app. Awkward is minimal, flat, full of white space and definitely not awkward. Hot stuff!

The awesome Swedish designer Tobias Ahlin has redesigned his portfolio site and it's well worth a visit. He has been heavily involved with Spotify in the past, and has a bunch of great work on his conscience. My only gripe with this single-pager is the lack of a responsive or mobile version.

One of the most obvious sites that should already have been posted here on Styleboost in 2012. It is a beautifully designed guide book from MailChimp. Check it out if you haven't already done so.

I love how clean this website feels. The timeline on the home page is a very nice touch, but my favorite part about the site is the design of the blog. Both the list view and the articles are exquisitely designed and implemented. All in all this is a very nice portfolio site.

Everpix is one of those services that I really hope will succeed despite that I'm not currently subscribing to the photo management tool myself. However, I have been beta testing it a while back, and I must say it's an exquisitely designed service. The landing page is also a great example of the quality of the design, so check it out if you're not already signed up for Everpix.

Simple but powerful visuals for this brand new one day festival that took place in Stockholm, Sweden last Saturday. Great colors and typography wrapped in a single page wrapping works really well here.

Ditto is a beautifully designed online shop for buying designer eyewear. Make sure to check out the "Recommendations" feature, as it is both technologically and ux-wise a wonderfully implemented tool. The site would be great even if it wasn't for this single feature. Also, I'm loving the addition of the little "$" icons as an incentive to lure new users in to engage with the site.
