Seems like all the secret shark fans come out of the woodwork (or coral reef?) come Shark Week. Sure, I've tuned in for some of the programming then got a bit sad that the sweet species would fade away 'til next year. So what do I do when I get sad? I go shopping!

First off, I'm loving the tank ($39) patterned just like endangered whale sharks or the printed vest ($47) to make an even brighter statement. Since I can't get enough of accessories, the shark's jaw ring ($28) is an alternative to the dare to dream necklaces featuring several teeth ($210), several strands ($300), or a solid gold tooth ($975) instead. Find out more about the items on my wish list and where to buy them by clicking on the Polaroids above!

After that fun Jonathan Adler pottery post I just couldn't get enough of the animal home accessories. So I dug up a few cute things from one of my favorite shopping inspirations, Charles and Marie and UK design shop Slam Design. I especially love the Dog Magazine Rack and fish drain stopper. Seriously, how cute is that!?





I also took a liking to the Deer Bookends, the Seal Coin Bank, and the Farm Animal Rubber Bands, and would totally toss the kitty pocket mirror into my bag. And just to throw in something for the outside of your home, there's a solar birdhouse that boasts a light-up perch. It's like a little porch light for your winged friends!

Chic designer Jonathan Adler, who produced one of my favorite pet bed designs, is showing off his love for animals in a new way — with pottery and home accessories! His line of place card holders, pottery, salt and pepper shakers and lamps made in the likeness of whales, penguins, giraffes and hippos is right up my alley — it's all wild, baby! These goodies are available for purchase on his website ($18-$700) now, but if we're really lucky, we may see a few of the items on the shelves at Target. I'm pretty sure I've already seen the bull place card holder and snail napkin ring there already. Although the dachshund up there on top can't be considered a wild animal, he sure could use some love. Just look at that swaying back!

If you've decked out your home with hip and minimal furnishings take note: You don't have to pay a million bucks for modern cat furniture too. Los Angeles-based designer Peter Sehorsch recently took the kitty design world by storm when he turned a simple IKEA Stolmen system into a spectacular cat tower, and now he's selling the custom units for all the copycats who love his work. The Hollywood Franklin Cat Tower — named after his cat, Frank, naturally — combines an IKEA post and mounting fixtures with homemade platforms.

You have to purchase the IKEA parts (the pole and clamp cost about $113) yourself then order a platform kit from Sehorsch, which comes with two or three risers and bolts and nuts.
