currently, v.3 – Alyssa of The Glossy Life

Blogging
This weeks currently features one of my favorite bloggers, the lovely Alyssa of The Glossy Life! I’m thrilled to have her sharing her current favorites, loves, and dreams that are keeping her inspired these days. If for some crazy reason you haven’t heard of Alyssa before, you’ll have to check out her gorgeous blog which is sure to become a daily read. She’s witty, honest and is the queen of whipping up the tastiest recipes {and who doesn’t love looking at pretty cooking photos?}
Currently: 
 Munching: On anything with apples–I am planning on making apple cider donuts this weekend just because. Also, lots of soups and crock pot meals…I love cooking in the fall and winter!
Coveting: Sigh. A Prada Saffiano Lux tote.  I’m currently trying to save up to buy myself one as a major treat for my 25th birthday. File that under “things that will never happen.”
In hey makeup bag: Too much, haha. But a few fun new additions: bareMinerals’ Moxie Lipgloss in “Trail Blazer” which is a perfect-for-fall nude, and NARS Satin Lip pencil in Palais Royal, which is this awesome deep burgundy. And for skincare, I am loving S.W. Basics of Brooklyn–they’re this great conscious company out of New York, and all of their products are all-natural with only 3 ingredients. 
Reading: I just finished “Brain on Fire” by Susannah Cahalan which was amazing (definitely recommended to any psychology fans!), but kind of heavy. So I have moved on to “The Engagements” by J. Courtney Sullivan–I’m really enjoying it so far! 
Stalking: Kerry Washington. God, are you sick of hearing me talk about Scandal yet? Sorry–but the lady has great style (as does Olivia Pope). 
Dreaming of: Italy. My family and I are traveling there in summer 2014, and since I studied abroad in Florence, I’m in charge of planning almost everything. It’s taking everything in me not to listen to Italian music and browse photos 24/7.
On Heavy Rotation: The Shivers. I first heard their song, “Beauty” a while back and I really like their whole album–it’s the perfect music for a lazy Sunday morning during the fall. Also, Passenger’s album, “All the Little Lights” is all over my iPod. I can’t get enough. 
Working on: Developing a few new recipes for my blog and coming up with a seasonal DIY. Also, working my way THROUGH season 2 of Homeland and the rest of Breaking Bad–yes, it’s on my to-do list for real. 
Drinking: Apple cider all day, every day. Also, wine (duh)…I sometimes have a glass when I come home from work during the week, but always on Thursdays–I need my popcorn and red wine ready for when I watch Scandal!
Wearing: Chunky knits, leather leggings and my new ankle boots from Kork-Ease. I’m obsessed with them. Oh, also–running shoes. In an attempt to motivate myself to actually run…

Thanks for sharing your faves, Alyssa! xx
