Miss Smarty Pants

I love a really cute shop with well priced jewelry.I just happened to find this place while I was out and about and it's wonderful! They have earrings, necklaces and other pieces of costume jewelry and most are priced around $20. They have a board in the back of items that are 75% off and I was able to get two pairs of cute earrings for $10 total! They also have other "girly" type accessories, that you or the lady in your life are sure to love.This is a great place to pick up a stocking-stuffer for the holidays or treat yourself to a little something special.

This is one of those shops that I can't believe I haven't reviewed, as I've stopped in here for years. They have plenty of moderately price jewelry and housewares and doodads that make great gifts...if you have the girly sorts to purchase for.Another I like about this shop, it's not packed to the roof with stock. You can actually peruse without being overwhelmed and move without fearing that you're going to take out a shelving unit of glassware. WHEW.The staff has always been helpful without being push and there is often free wine while you shop (BONUS). Sometimes I hit the jackpot and sometimes not. The upstairs (ok 3 steps) back room is a separate business so be prepared to use your card twice if you want merchandise from both spaces.

It's December 23 and if you're anything like me, you probably have a bunch of gifts left that need to be bought STAT! Maybe you even have a mulled wine hangover and can't bear the idea of shopping all day around town. Maybe even the idea of taking a stroll down Magazine St. is too intimidating for you. I'm here to say... get off your tuchus and DO IT! I'll even make it easier for you... head straight to Miss Smarty Pants. This will be your one-stop shop for any gal in your life (and even a guy or two). Think arty/bohemian-but still extremely classy- accessories and home accents. Think lovely framed pictures, chic ornaments and magnets, flashy jewelry and delish smelly candles. I'm kind of in love with this store and want to marry it. I mean, get married in it. Or at least visit it regularly and frolic about.There ya go. Bonus points if you can hit up Plum across the street for even more quirky gifts and ornaments and Scriptura down the block for the wrappings... the people in your life will love your for it.

I always make a trip to this adorable little boutique when I'm in town. Miss Smarty Pants is run in conjuction with Importicos Furniture; shabby chic and quintessentially New Orleans. They carry this brand of "Orleans" candles which are beautifully scented. I have them all over my apartment in San Francisco. I've also purchased some wall art here: a chandalier print on a metal base (totally funky and vintage) and an imitation Van Cleef & Arpels necklace. The also carry magnets of tiled NOLA street names as well as coasters and picture frames.Miss Smarty Pants is my favorite destination for unique, feminine New Orleans gifts. I can't get enough of this place and there is most certainly always a MSP shopping bag in my suitcase when I return home.

This is one of those "I should have come here FIRST" shopping experiences because they had everything I was looking for. Moderate prices, excellent selection and variety, laid back & friendly customer service and free wine to help you break down those shopping insecurities. I'll definitely be back!

Great stuff .... and a wonderful artist doing Jazz prints in the back. Stop in!

Great selection and such fun gifts. Whenever I need a special or unique gift I make my way over. The candles are my favorite. What a variety of scents!

I love MSP! It's my favorite place on Magazine Street to pop in for a last minute hostess or holiday gift (and they're SO reasonably priced). The candles and towels are always a crowd pleaser and their geaux cups make every cocktail party a success! It's a wonderful way to shop local in New Orleans and I've brought gifts to out of towners that now shop with them online (http://www.misssmartypantsnola.com/). People will be getting gifts with that signature Miss Smarty Pants sticker from me for many years to come!

Love this store! Unique gifts, jewelry and accessories! It's my 'go to shop' for that hard to find Diva! Love the ambiance and expert service!

I love this place and frequent is as much as humanely possible when I am in town. I love the candles, sassy dish towels and swanky jewelry. Let me not fail to mention Miss Laura's unmatched hospitality. Plenty of Home Training here! But just as Santa Claus recalls his favorite reindeer, I recall my favorite item......The Sassy To Go cups. I have so many from there I am almost in therapy, almost but not quite.It would surely be your loss not to frequent this charming find on Magazine. HOpe to be there soon.Monica D.San Diego
