Like a Minx

One day, I was wandering the streets of downtown Indianapolis (in my car) and noticed a small store front and immediately fell in love with the displays in the windows. I did not stop, however. At work, I was told of a new vintage shop that had set itself up on 16th and Pennsylvania St called Minx Vintage and Home. It was the very same shop I had passed earlier! I stopped by today and slowly walked into the tiny shop. The window displays are phenomenal and found myself admiring each and every piece. I slowly peeked through the racks, careful not to miss anything. It was the perfect "first time" vintage experience. I unearthed a vintage Coach green leather belt, but sadly it was a tad too small. A glass pearl necklace with a vintage pendant was breathtaking, but a little out of my price range. One of the owners told me they receive new pieces about 3-4 times a week! I'll check back within a couple of weeks to see if there are even greater finds. Definitely check this place out if you are in the Indy area. It is worth it. And the owners are super nice! 

I happened across a vintage Sanctuary Clothing velvet, bow detail jacket. I absolutely adore it! It was only $31. I was walking around for fifteen minutes with a vintage houndstooth jacket with great button details, but I am on a budget so I tearfully put it back. The jacket clasps by a hook-and-eye fixture. I can't wait to wear it! Perfect with one of my many skirts/dresses!

I have been searching for a new bag for ages. I find ones I like, but I had yet to fall in love with one. Until I walked into Minx that is! This vintage Mantessa black leather bag is utterly amazing! It seems rather small until you open it up and there are so many compartments! Perfect for holding my notebooks, Kindle, and paperbacks! It is très chic as well. The red compartment is my favorite. I just adore a pop of color, even if it is hidden. It was $29. Totally worth it!
