Adoration: Plush Owls

My current obsession is plush owls. They just have the most hilarious faces on them, and I can't help but laugh when I look at them. Owls have become so interesting to me lately and I'm not sure why. Here are some cuties I found via Flickr:

Adoration: Oxygen Magazine

Magazines are a favorite of mine. I have never been a big book reader, except for the Fear Street Novels- oh to be in 6th grade again. But I have been reading a lot of the health and fitness magazines lately. I have a subscription to Women's Health and Shape. Women's Health is slowly losing its touch because of the greater focus on more lifestyle type articles and less about fitness. Shape is still a favorite, but I have recently discovered Oxygen. I like this magazine because it has more weight training tips and tricks- the others tend to stick with more resistance training. Also it is less about fashion and hair and more about health and fitness. The exercises are a little more advanced so it may be a good read for those of you who are looking to expand on your gym routine.

This photo evokes every reason why I love rich, dark tones on walls. It is a.m.a.z.i.n.g.

Adoration: Anthro's December Catalog

It is not often that I am in love with expensive things, but Anthropologie is one of them. I enjoy the eclectic chic style of the clothes, the girlie accents, and wonderful fabrics- all of which put the clothes way out of my price range- hence everything I feature on here is from Target! But when I opened my mailbox today I was struck by the love bug. Every page in the new catalog contained something amazing so I had to hit the website and lust for all the new jewels. From sweaters, shirts, necklaces, to bags and home accents. These are a couple of my favorites, oh maybe one day...

I love them all. Please Santa, I have been very good this year...

Adoration: Etsy Find, Coo-Koo-Ri-Koo

{ Sunset Swim Yo-Yo Necklace }

I found this amazing necklace while visiting one of my daily blogs Making it Lovely. Coo-Koo-Ri-Koo has adorable fabric designed hair pins, bracelets and necklaces. She sells vintage jewelry and hair pins too! I fell in love with this necklace's spicy colors. It would liven up an cotton tee or plain shirt. A must have! And she offers 10% off on Mondays!!

To see more Coo-Koo-Ri-Koo visit her Etsy shop here.

Adoration: Domino Magazine

By far and wide, one of my favorite magazines is Domino. It is always full of fun decor and blissful interiors. My only gripe is that the items they feature are often very pricey and I'm all about stretching my dollar. I love that Domino features many different looks for the home. They are slightly partial to the eclectic hippie-chic but who doesn't love that. But what brings me to this post is this month's featured interior of J. Crew creative director Jenna Lyons home. I would kill for her charcoal painted bedroom. I love saturated, and unexpected colors- even though I just had my bathroom painted a light, airy color. So when I saw her bedroom on the cover, I almost kissed the magazine cover, gross, I know. But I couldn't help it. 

For your enjoyment:
