City of de-Light

I am in love with a city I have never been to. Paris is the ultimate destination, in my opinion. And it may be premature to say this, but I have saving gobs of money for months and will continue to do so to make a trip to Paris when Trey graduates (as a radiologic tech) in a year and a few months. It will be a graduation gift to ourselves. We're also planning to go to London, Amsterdam and a little town in Holland where a dear family member lives.

Check out these posts of Paris' fashionable window displays by the blog Paris Parfait:
♥ Chanel
♥ Shipwreck No. 1
♥ Shipwreck No. 2
The writer also has plenty of posts full of photos taken at Paris flea markets.

I just found this blog written by an American living in Paris. Gorgeous photos.
♥ Tongue in Cheek
And I am completely smitten with this blog I found recently. It's by a stylist and book author -- a book you probably know -- living in Amsterdam.

Inspired by the 20s

Photos found via Google images

For the longest time I've been fascinated by the 1920s, gypsies and carnivals. These things are inspiring me again. If I were to design a line of jewelry around these themes, what do you think they'd look like?I have my ideas. What are yours?

New Products From a Special Guest

New products in the shop!

I'm super excited to finally reveal a project that's been in the works for some time now. Jessica, of the way cool vinyl wallet line Slaughterhead, has made two lines of limited-edition pouches for Petite Minx jewelry.

When paired with Petite Minx jewelry, these "Whatnot Pouches" would make the best two-in-one functional gift. Hide the jewelry inside a pouch for a double-fun surprise. These make super inexpensive gifts, too.

The pouches are only $12, and all regularly-priced Petite Minx jewelry is 30% off!

There are four of each of the two "Whatnot Pouches" available now in the Petite Minx shop.

The two lines include a purple wallet with colorful stitch patterns and a wood-grain repurposed lining. And there are brown pouches with an exterior inlay sunburst with the coolest striped repurposed lining. Both are pictured in this post.
