My Obsession
I am obsessed with 3 things right now: Essential Faith perfume oil, Voluspa candles, and Chan Lu wrap bracelets.
These obsessions are 100% enabled by the best store on my block: Mimi and Hy.
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this store. If I knew how to type those cute little hearts, they would be inserted right here><.
I love local, family owned stores that carry really cute stuff.
Check, check, and check for Mimi and Hy.
This great boutique is owned by sisters Allison and Leah. They carry all the chic and hip jewelry, apothecary, and accessories minus the obnoxious pretentious attitude. (Thank God because I hate cursing out people for being rude azz biatches). They make shopping fun (ok, shopping is already fun). They make shopping into an experience bc they are so helpful in finding just the right thing, or they are content to let you browse without lurking behind you.
Anyway, they give you tons of personalized attention whether you are buying a $20 candle or $150 pair of sandals. They know their products really well and when I return they always remember my favorites and have great recommendations of new merchandise.
Being from the South, this is just how shopping SHOULD be, but living in Los Angeles, it usually isn’t (flash to the Pretty Woman shopping scene on Rodeo Drive: “….big mistake, huge…”. Gosh, I sure love that movie)
Anyway, if you need a hostess gift, birthday gift, or just wanna buy yourself something for being so adorable and fabulous, head over to Mimi and Hy. You can also shop on their website. Here are 3 of my faves (you can get me either, or bc I never seem to have enough!)




Sounds like a great store! I just put it on my list. Thanks
You have great taste! Those are all hot items.
It’s a great shop. Especially when you need a gift for that picky person….I can always find something perfect there.
Essential Faith is awesome!!!!! That boutique sounds cool too. Wish I lived closer.
you can shop online at http://www.mimiandhy.com/
the bracelet is nice. native look. ya gotta get the dress to geaux with it. brown strap shoes too, not with heals but with the stripper soles (u know the ones) put ya hair back with the native pendant on top ya head…yeah that’s the look.
not sure how the “smell goods” really smell but if it’s light and not noticiable then that’s a winner. you should only notice a fragrance close up, IMO, but on the flip side if you pass me up and i catch a good scent nose twitch…yeah thats whats up too!
Thank you for all the lovely fashion tips. lol. The fragrance is very light, but just strong enough to make an impression and keep you guessing. Geaux figure
I love Mimi and Hy. Dari down the street is cute too. and of course Big Sugar
Oh!!!! Just the mention of Big Sugar!!!!!!
LOVE this store. They have the best selection of Voluspa and great prices.
