Without being aware of it, I have been preparing to start a blog for a long time now. There is a folder on my computer full of pictures and quotes that inspire me. I send my roommate an annoying amount of blog recommendations and online shopping deals. I style up cute outfits to show my boyfriend - who would probably think I'm just as attractive with no makeup, wearing a garbage bag (a frustratingly endearing trait). Tearing through my google reader list every morning has become one of the highlights of my day. I am constantly inspired by others' posts, and the blogging world has shaped and guided my opinions in countless ways. From the clothes I wear (and the way I wear them), to the books I read, or the kind of wedding I hope to have, the blogs and tumblrs I follow have a huge impact on my life. Then suddenly (for reasons we will discuss later) I realized that I have thoughts, opinions, recommendations, and a personal style that I wants to share with all of you out there as well. So here it goes . . .
Let's go back . . . I was born on a bright sunny day in California . . . whoa, whoa, whoa! - too far back Amanda. Ah yes, my name is Amanda. I'm a 23 year old recent college graduate, which means I am just now (happily) exiting the ramen noodle, bar-hopping, wearing-sweatpants-in-public phase of my life. However, I'm still living on a tight budget, making my love of new and shiny things sometimes difficult to manage (thus the title of this blog was born). But I think in order to get a real sense of who I am, what I love, and what my life is about, you'll just have to follow along . . .
Until then lovies.
Newly yours,
Amanda
