Miette

If you've ever read any of my reviews, you've probably picked up on the fact that I adore unique little places that support local artists. Miette is absolutely no different, and I just fell in love the moment I wandered in through their front door.

First, there's not enough time in a day to really look at everything they have here. Everywhere you look is another amazing collection of this or that or the other thing that you didn't really know that you needed, but now that you've seen it, you know you really NEED IT. Kitchy, glam, fab, sexy, gorgeous... you name it, they have something to fit the mood that you are in, or that you are trying to achieve. They have great displays, and the staff that works there are well versed in their products and can help guide you to whatever you need, or if you're feeling a bit more benevolent, that perfect gift to take to someone back home!

Great shop to stop (and spend money) in. Worth the time to go in and explore!

It's a fun an eclectic shop.

My husband was enamored by the window display, so we took a browse through the shop.

Gifts and unique statement jewelry.

Sweet carnoferous! The tender pastel colors brightened the spand of my seeing eyes. My wife may have splurged with our savings for the water bill...worth it for the accessories that will adorn her sweet body. Thank you for the inspo dearest southern Miette! Cheers lovely!

Super cute and unique! A must go for the alt girlies. Will definitely be going to again.

This is my favorite shop on Magazine st. There's something for everyone. Gorgeous unique trinkets to appeal to an array of aesthetic tastes. Love the little taxidermy dioramas and wish I could afford them. For now I'll treat myself to the occasional print or bauble. Got a lovely pair of owl earrings for my mum last time I was in.

Miette is a super cute local shop on Magazine St. It has lots of fun and funky things like candles, jewelry, bathing suits, decor, they even have an 18+ upstairs section with some sexy things. Really cute shop. Staff is friendly and helpful. Stop in for some local New Orleans art and enjoy the other shops along Magazine too!

Super cute novelty gift shop in the Garden district. There's a little something for everyone here. I picked up a gift for my niece while I was window shopping. Great customer service too. I recommend Miette if you're in the area. Don't forget to check out upstairs for more adult gifts for that special someone!

Cute little shop with some kitschy and interesting finds.

Go upstairs for an adults only surprise, or peruse their selection of whimsical stuffed rodents.

The store is beautiful and the lady with the red hair was very sweet however, the man who was in the store when me and my boyfriend first walked in gave us no greeting and pretty much watched us the entire time.

This is one of the stores I think I would love at any age. I'm currently just looking for a decent excuse to wear my latest purchase, a unicorn horn. They have them in three different (maybe four) different sizes and various sparkly colors. My friend's logic, "I mean, whenever I want to be a unicorn, I get bummed because I don't have a horn, so might as well stock up."

Walking in is an experience in itself with the potential for a seriously fun eye-spy game from ceiling to floor. This store is cute, sexy, funny, witty, dark, sparkly, and everything in between. Miette is definitely one of my go-to spots for gift giving with a great range on prices. From cute pins, reasonably priced sunnies, cards, candles and soap to local designer pieces that I have on my wish list for when I want to splurge. It usually takes me at least 20 to 30 minutes to walk all over the store and finally decide on what to get.

Again, it's weird and all sorts of beautiful so if you're a "White House, Black Market / Egg shell is my favorite color" type, and you don't believe in unicorns or the babadook...Maybe just keeeeep walking. ;)
