I can't quite figure out how you screw these glass bird hooks to the wall, but I really like them. The funky patterns are awesome. These would look great in an entryway. You could use them to hold your jacket or keep track of your keys, which always seem to be wandering off.

I like this little makeup bag. It has a fun, retro flower pattern. And it's sort of small--nine inches by four inches. So you can toss in a couple of essentials (lipgloss, some mascara, a little eyeshadow, a compact, and concealer) and fit it into almost any purse.

This pillow sounds kind of soothing or kind of disturbing, especially if "The Tell-Tale Heart" freaked you out. The 14-inch heart-shaped pillow has an electronic mechanism inside that mimics a beating heart. It beats at a slow, relaxed rate that's supposed to help you chill out. Maybe I should get one of these for work.

I kept buying these $5 umbrellas from vendors on the street, and they kept falling apart after one or two storms. I recently ponied up for one of these Marimekko mini umbrellas, which I really like. It has a fun poppy pattern, and it folds up super tiny--about six inches long. It's so small that I can keep it in my bag all the time. Plus, it comes with a really nice carrying sleeve.

Let everyone know you are untouchable with this awesome toy. It's the invincibility star from Super Mario Brothers, and when you press a button on the back, it plays that sweet, sweet melody as a light inside flashes. When you have it in your hands, you can kick people in the shins, and they can't do anything back! Hopefully they'll buy that explanation.

$17.99, ThinkGeek

This satin eye mask is cute and funny with its dead cartoon character eyes. I'm hoping that the fact that it looks a little bit creepy will prevent people from bugging you during your nap (for instance, say, the passenger next you in the airplane who seems to wait until you finally drift off to decide he needs to go to the bathroom).

$12.00, Gama-Go

Writing things down on paper? How very analog. But these eight-inch tall notebooks by Orla Kiely are adorable. I like the graphic look of the blue pears with the bright red strap. Whether your using them to jot down your grocery list or your innermost thoughts, these notebooks are a pretty addition to your desk.

$15.00, See Jane Work

These platform sandals truly are foxy. Especially if you've got a bright new pedicure poking out from the peep toes. They have a cool retro stacked three-inch wooden heel and pretty dark teal leather T-straps. They'd look totally cute with a sundress or a long flowy summer skirt.

$89.95, Nordstrom

This little cotton sundress is really cool. It seems almost like a Project Runway challenge. It looks like it's made of a deconstructed, blue-striped, button-down men's dress shirt. And made in a beautiful, form-flattering way. I love the way the vertical stripes turn diagonal on the bust area.

$128.00, Anthropologie

I was reading a piece in this month's issue of Domino about how objects inspired by nature (think coral and tortoise shells) make great decorations. I agree. I think these blue shells would add a punch of color to a bookshelf or side table. Each shell is about four inches wide.
