Though I've started hibernating and bundling up in blankets and shawls, I have yet to get into the cozy activities of winter. But I hope I'll get to reading, knitting and blogging more again now that the post-holiday days are here.

How were your holidays by the way?

I'm finishing up my holiday shopping and gift wrapping everything. I actually haven't listened to any Christmas songs yet, but I think it's time to whip out my seasonal CDs too. Can't celebrate the holidays long enough, can you?

How is your holiday planning coming along? Almost done or are you a last-minute shopper?

Owl Things Considered

The dark days of winter are perfect for burning candles. It instantly makes for a cozy atmosphere. Recently I've mostly been using holders I DIYed, but I also really like the look of this little woodland candle holder from ModCloth.

There are so many animals hidden in this design! And the overall look seems very papercut-esque to me. Anyway, I think it's a very classy way to sneak some cute critters into a more mature or sophisticatedly decorated house.

It'll be Christmas in just a few days! Can you believe it? I've been looking forward to it for so long that I can hardly believe it's nearly here. I have all my gifts at the ready, most of the food in the kitchen, so I'm pretty much set!

How about you? Do you have anything nice planned?

Owl Things Considered

I've seen some relatively cute scarf hangers, but I never knew they made owl-shaped ones. And with rhinestone eyes to boot! It sure is too pretty to hang in the back of your closet. This deserves a prime spot on a wall or door, I think.

Anyway, they're available at ModCloth.

ModCloth will soon release a bag that combines two of my favorite things: owls and books! Granted, the purse is probably too small to be a practical everyday bag -and the owl is small too!-, but it would be perfect for special occasions.

Or it might come in handy for a quick trip to the bookstore! I also love that you can use it either as a shoulder bag or as a clutch. You could probably even put the strap inside and store the purse on your bookshelf!

The brand it came from seems really cool too. They also have a make-up bag that looks like a vintage sewing pattern. Check out all the other products by Disaster Designs by clicking this link.

It was already pretty obivious that ModCloth is really good at making cute stuff to fit each season, and also that they carry some amazing owls in their online store, but they're really outdoing themselves with this Halloweenish dress.

Isn't it cool? I love the vibrant color and the sneaky orange eyes! And the black waist and peter pan collar make it a hundred times better still. Too cute to scare anyone during the holiday, but it will definitely make you look amazing!

We're having a bit of a heatwave and it is definitely way too warm for pajama bottoms right now. But I suppose this cute set would work. Ever since last year I found I actually sleep better when I do have sleeves on. Strange, I know.

It has to get really warm for me to ditch the sleeves altogether, so this might just be perfect for most of the summer. Anyway, the set is available at ModCloth, but that should come as no surprise as it fits their style perfectly.

Owl Things Considered

This may come as a surprise, but I don't have any animal shoes. Not even owls. I can't complain as I love my Docs, but I wouldn't turn down a comfortable pair if I found one. Perhaps something similar to these owls from Modcloth.

At the bottom of the page I spotted these fabulously elegant bunnies. Now those… I'd almost kill for those. And I think I'd have to as I am definitely not paying $274,99 for them. Unless I win a lottery, I'll just admire them online.

But those aren't even my faves from their current collection. I just adore these sky blue flats! They are very reminiscent of Oxfords, yet they are a lot more feminine. And thankfully a lot more affordable than the bunnies.

I know, they're the odd ones out in this post, but they were too cute not too add. And I'm sure you don't mind either.

Are you lusting after any pretty or unique shoes at the moment?

Owl Things Considered

I love this owl romper so much! Something about the combination of the cut and the print... It seems like the perfect summer outfit. Granted you'll have to strip down every time you pee, but if it's warm enough to wear it, that'll be ok.

Especially now I'm already looking forward to traveling, this is getting me really excited! I think it also reminds me of something I used to have as a kid, but I can't really remember exactly what. Anyway, pretty adorable, right?

Wishlist

It's hard not to fall for these tiny cheese boards from ModCloth, right? The real question is which one's cuter? The hedgehog and the squirrel or the owl and the birdies? I think it might be a tie. Or… a cute set!

Anyway, let me emphasize that they're tiny. A lot of the reviews say people hadn't expected them to be this small. I think they're still cute and could probably come in handy for one-person snacks (instead of being used for a big spread).

The weekend before last I went to a literary festival -my very first actually- and had a great time there. So when I saw this librarian-style cardigan, it made the freshly nourished bibliophile in me extra excited!

You can get it on ModCloth. It doesn't come cheap, but it sure is lovely, isn't it?!

Wishlist

I know it's been a while, but I am back, and with a crush on a stellar dress! It is perfect in every way! Fit, colors, fabric. And that sheen! It almost seems as if it can't be real. Supernatural even. But it's not, you can actually buy one!

If you are as smitten as I am, you can get one here on ModCloth. 

Owl Things Considered

This little orange owl purse is just adorable. I know there are some beautiful brown ones available that look a bit similar, but have slightly different faces. But this one has something quirky about it that I find really cute!

And it seems perfect for those summer days when you just stroll around all day and get some ice cream.

You can get this Owl I Need shoulder bag at ModCloth.

P.S. Is it just me or does it kind of look like he has spectacles and a moustache?

Owl Things Considered

I am well aware that the colors of this skirt are a bit tricky and might not suit everyone. But I think it would also look amazing if paired with the proper shirt, shoes and accessories. And it does have that summer-feel, doesn't it?

Anyway, this delicate skirt is available at ModCloth. Do you think you'd wear it? I know I would!

Wishlist

Every once in a while you see an article of clothing with a very clever pocket. And this "Hide and Sleek"-skirt might have one of the best pockets I've laid eyes on. Awesome touch, don't you think?

I love the scalloped edge on the bottom as well. And I know the whole print and color could go either way, but when you pair it right, I'm sure it'll make a nice ensemble. Besides, the cut looks nice and that squirrel really rocks!

Owl Things Considered

Have you seen ModCloth's new owl sweater? It's pretty adorable! And such an easy way to liven up black pants.

 It is on the pricey side though, so we'll keep our fingers crossed for a sale, I guess.

Wishlist

Now I'm not one for incredibly high heels, and not often one for wedges either. But I fell head over heels with these cat shoes from ModCloth. So cute! And that color? Wow.

 Aren't they spectacular? If only you could walk in them... I'm definitely keeping my eyes open for a flatter version.

I love cute cat items! Did you find any nice feline merchandise lately? Or any other animals? I mean, all day-to-day items can be improved with a bit of an animal-touch, right?

Owl Things Considered

This is the perfect "librarian dress"! And it even has owls on it. The bows don't hurt either. Isn't it cute?

In case you were wondering, it's available on ModCloth.

Owl Things Considered

Though owls and peter pan collars are both extremely popular, I've hardly ever seen them combined. They are in this stunning dress though!

I love those little yellow accents in the eyes. It gives a very subtle touch of color, without disturbing the classic black/white look. Too bad it's way out of my budget...
