Got a case of the Mondays? We understand. Whether you're stuck in a cubicle or have a corner office, we've got the solution for those workday blues: the Zoology Workspace Accessory collection from Anthropologie.
The collection includes seahorse scissors, a fish pencil cup, an iguana stapler and a flamingo tape dispenser. Each item on its own is utterly charming, but together they really make a wild impact.
Can you imagine frowning as you staple a memo with an iguana? No, of course you can't! It's impossible.
Zoology Workspace Accessory Collection, $12-$18 each at Anthropologie.

This is the time of year when we all start spending a little more time outdoors. We take our dogs on more walks, we eat our meals outside — and sometimes, we just sit out on the patio and watch the butterflies do their thing.
What could possibly add more peace to the beautiful outdoors? How about a Zen Dog Garden Sculpture?
These humorous sculptures strike a perfect balance of tranquility and goofiness, which is something we're pretty sure all dog lovers appreciate. The sealed cement sculptures, available in small and large sizes, feature the Chinese symbol for loyalty on the back and are designed to handle whatever weather comes their way, all year long. Namaste, pooches.

No dogs at the table? You'll have to rethink that rule once you see this supercute Wiener Dog Oil and Vinegar Set from Uncommon Goods.
The handmade glass Dachshunds hold your favorite oil and vinegar safely within their elongated bodies with corked tails. The set even comes with a funnel to keep refills from getting messy.
We have a feeling we're going to start eating a lot more salads if it means we get to bring these puppies out!

You might not be able to turn your dining room table into a true seafaring vessel, but with these whimsical Ocea Placemats from anthropologie, you'll get the perks of being surrounded by ocean life without any chance of seasickness.
The placemats, available in Piranha, Octopus, and Puffer Fish designs, feature bright colors and fun shapes that are sure to put a smile on your dining companions' faces — regardless of how the salmon turns out. For those of us who are more skilled in creating a beautiful table than in the culinary arts, this is a real plus.

Your cat knows she's fancy — and she reminds you of it all the time. You humor her by offering nothing but the best cat treats, but if you're storing them in a plain old plastic container, you're not living up to kitty's expectations.
Instead of that ugly Tupperware, keep your cat's treats in this beautiful jar from artist Arthur Court. This storage container combines a pebbled glass jar and a stylish aluminum lid, with a signature Arthur Court sculpture of a cat reaching for a fish. It is guaranteed to raise the level of snack-time sophistication for your cat. (And also guaranteed to look better on your kitchen counter than that plastic monstrosity.) There is also a companion dog treat canister available for the sophisticated pooch. Both make ideal wedding or housewarming gifts for your pet-loving friends.
These pieces are not dishwasher-safe. Hand wash, and dry the aluminum top immediately to prevent staining.
Our friends at BrightNest.com share four clever DIY projects that are perfect for pet lovers.

Treat Jar
Chalkboard paint is the gift that keeps on giving! The next time you whip up a batch of DIY chalkboard paint, consider making this unique treat jar from Treats a la Bark.
Place it next to your human treat jar (a.k.a. cookie jar) or let it hang out solo on your counter — it’s pretty, so you don’t have to stash it away in the closet!
Photo Pillows
If a photo of some “other” dog or cat just won’t cut it, that’s cool. We like the Real Deal Holyfield too — that’s why we love these pet-photo pillows from Yellow Brick Home. There’s minimal sewing involved, and everyone who sits on your couch will see just how much you love your pet.

You might not necessarily want to eat out of your dog's bowl, but these dog bowls? That's a different story.
This set of four bowls featuring illustrated dogs belongs on your dining room table, not on the floor in your pooch's feeding station. Let's face it: Smart as your dog might be, he can't fully appreciate how adorable these doggie drawings are, can he?
Each bowl features a different breed, so they're sure to please pretty much any dog lover. Especially the ones who are partial to Labs, Poodles, Pugs or Chihuahuas. Which one would get the most use in your home?
Summer is the time for shorts and T-shirts, especially when you're a kid. But that doesn't mean your littles can't show some style — and share their love of animals. These five animal graphic tees are perfect for long summer days of serious play, and are cute enough to count as dressed up. At least as far as T-shirts go.
Quirky Kids Animal Graphic Tees
Gap
We're always a sucker for a Frenchie tee, and we love this one in hot pink and turquoise. We wish it came in big girl sizes, in fact.
J. Crew
Fact: There are a suprising number of little league teams named the Bulldogs. Maybe because a Bulldog looks so adorable in a ball cap? We're not sure, but we love this little guy with his jaunty hat and felt appliqued number — and we bet your little first baseman will, too.
J. Crew Boys' Batt'r Up Bulldog Tee, $24.50 (plus free shipping)
Old Navy
We can't resist a Pug in a tutu. Especially when the tutu is made of little sparkly crystals. Available in four other colors and prints, including a Labrador with a flower headband.
J. Crew Factory
What boy doesn't love the idea of grabbing his longboard and his dog and heading for the beach? Even if you're living the landlocked life, this Preppie staple is perfect for young dog lovers.
J. Crew Factory
This sweet giraffe looks like she's ready for a party with her pretty yellow flower headband. We're sure your little animal lover will want to wear this tee everywhere, party or no.

What do you get when you mix a dash of quirky with a dollop of girly — and throw in a shot of mod for good measure? The Flamingo Repeat Shift from Anthropologie, of course!
The short silk shift features an echoing pink flamingo pattern on a bright blue background. The striking pattern is complemented by the simple sillhouette of the dress, which is cut to show off killer legs. Or, if you're feeling particularly cheeky, you could always pair it with some bright pink tights or leggings to really play up the flamingo theme.
Whatever way you wear it, you'll be sure to stand out — in the best possible way.
ASOS
If the idea of wearing a cat sweater makes you think of your grandmother, think again: Cat prints can be hip and cool and totally stylish. No, really!
This plus-size sweater is the perfect option for chic cat ladies. The simple black cat illustration has a beatnik hipster vibe to it that provides an instant shot of cool to any outfit. Made of 100 percent acrylic, this sweater is a cozy option for work or the weekend. Pair with skinny jeans or a pencil skirt, or with leggings for a Saturday of snuggling with your own feline. Add a beret for the ideal hip cat look. Nothing grandmotherly about this style.
