Currently I am...
making: a maxi dress. Or planning to anyway. While online shopping for the perfect dress with sleeves, I stumbled on this awesome side slit maxi dress tutorial from Leanne Barlow. Since I can't buy what I want, why not just make it? Her tutorial doesn't look too complicated and I found the prettiest rayon challis fabric. I love the idea of sewing, but I don't do a lot of it. I've made a skirt, crib bumpers, pillow covers...simple stuff. So I'm a little intimated by this project. But it's good to challenge yourself, right?
wishlisting: a new handbag. As much as a I love my Coach, I haven't been kind to it over the years, and the leather has rubbed off in the bottom corners of the bag. It also might have had been in a hit-and-run with some magenta paint. I still love it and plan to carry it until it literally falls apart, but I like the idea of adding another bag into the rotation, something structured in a lighter leather. I really like this pretty blush Kate Spade or this mustard yellow Coach satchel ... and how unbelievably gorgeous is this Michael Kors satchel, but I die at the price tag!
cleaning: my desk at work! It's a train wreck complete with papers strewn everywhere, water bottles with just a sip or two left and travel mugs growing laboratory experiments. Can I use the excuse that it's a product of a creative mind?
posting: my first every day in the life of post! I don't think my life is that exciting, but I LOVE reading these types of posts from other bloggers, so hopefully it'll be fun. Come back tomorrow to read it. :)
tasting: Moscato wine for the first time. I don't know how I managed to go 33 years on this earth and not taste its deliciousness, but now I'm hooked! I few weeks ago a friend ordered it for me when the bar was out of blush. I'm definitely not a wine snob. I like my wine cheap, fruity and sweet and if you add bubbles...ahhh perfection.
I'm linking up with Anne and Jenna for April Currently. Each month features a series of prompts that can be interpreting any way you wish. What are you up to currently? Let me know in the comments below!
Wow! Knock yourself out with that maxi dress! Can't wait to see how it turns out! Love Moscato wine, but some brands are a little too sweet for me.
ReplyDeletelol, the sweeter the better for me! I definitely don't have a refined palate. :)
DeleteI've been contemplating a blush bag too - seems like it would be a nice change of pace from my usuals! And I LOVE day-in-the-life posts.
ReplyDeleteBlush just seems so springy and not having to worry about matching leathers is a definite bonus.
DeleteYES to a blush bag! Total bag crush right now.
ReplyDeleteI recently saw the prettiest one at a Kate Spade outlet, decided not to get it, changed my mind and went back the next weekend and it was GONE. Serious bag regret. :(
DeleteYep, Moscato wine is dangerously delicious! I'm glad you got a chance to enjoy it. And always the day in the life posts too. Looking forward to seeing yours...

I'm still not sure how I managed to go 30+ years without discovering it. Guess that just means I need to drink more wine... :)
DeleteBarefoot wines (California) makes a delicious pink and a red moscato. The pink is basically a sweet rose, and the red is like a Merlot lite (i.e., better with meals). Spumante is another brand with a good sparkling rose (can't remember if it's a moscato offhand). Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteOoo...thanks for the suggestion, I'll have to give it a try!
