We had the good fortune of connecting with Amelia Barnett and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Amelia, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
My thought process when starting my own buiness was is this going to be successful and can I do this on my own. I had a lot of doubts in my mind and I was overthinking the entire process. I finally sat down and I made a pros and cons list before I finally deciding to take the leap. I am really happy I listened to my gut feeling and created my buiness.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
My journey started with my love for going out to eat and dressing up. People would always ask me where did I get my outfits from or what new restaurant was I going to next. This sparked me to start my own line of clothing, accessories, and home decor. I would post about my outfits while blogging about the new restaurants I tried. My food page became a hit along with my boutique. My boutique is a reflection of my passion for decorating and creating items that match my personality. I carry pieces that are unique and colorful. I’m naturally very bubbly and colorful and I like my inventory to reflect that. This has truly made me happy doing something I love so much.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
My favorite areas to hang out in are little 5 points, krog street market, ponce city market, and the beltline. There are so many activities and food places to check out in all those areas. I definitely love aesthetically pleasing places and some of my favorites are chateau elan, buckhead shops, and colony square. I’m all about good vibes and good food!
