No Job? Might as well Blog!

So I've always considered myself a kind of Carrie Bradshaw of sorts.... I'm always coming up with cute and pithy questions and quotes after momentous (or mundane) occasions...

"I couldn't help but wonder... what if the hokey pokey really IS what it's all about..."

Ok, so maybe I shouldn't put myself in the same category as our beloved Carrie Bradshaw, nee Carrie Preston.

But Carrie and I do have a few things in common, other than our love for provocative one-liners... 
Our mutual love for all things expensive.

If you'll remember on one memorable episode of Sex and the City (SATC for short), Carrie found herself in financial ruin. Ok, so that happened on MORE than one episode, but stay with me for a minute. 
On this particular occasion, Carrie discovers that in order to buy out of her apartment lease, she needs to come up with capital, which happens to be all hanging, rather sitting, in her closet, in the form of hundreds of pairs of Manolo Blahnik and Christian Louboutin Shoes... to the tune of $40,000 worth.

So my financial woes are not NEARLY as dire as Carrie's, nor is my closet nearly as impressive, but I can echo her sentiments when it comes to having great taste (and I do have great taste) but not quite the budget to pull it off.

This blog has been a long time coming for me. I love to write, and I love to talk about shopping. Even when I can't shop, I would rather talk about it than pretend it doesn't exist. Therefore, this will be my forum when it comes to all things shopping. Not only clothes shopping, but beauty, household, food, and even bill-paying (I don't know who the hell considers that to be shopping, but I'll include it anyway). 

As much as it pains me to include you all in my struggles throughout becoming an adult, and moving into the "real world", I figured I would put myself out there in the hopes that I can offer some small degree of comic relief, and who knows? Maybe this could get me rich?

Hey, a girl can dream.....

So to wrap up my first blog post, I only have one thing to say....
In the words of Carrie Bradshaw, "Balls are to men what purses are to women."
