Friday, June 1, 2012

Yes, I am a child of the 80's and I looooooooooooove 80's music. In 7 days I will turn 30, so today I have picked out some of my favorite 80's tunes for you. Enjoy!



Life According to my iPhone

Wednesday, May 30, 2012

I'm baaaaaaaaack! I hope you all had a fabulous Memorial Day weekend like I did! My hubby and I lounged by the pool, went on a 10 mile bike ride, saw a movie, and ate some delicious food. Even though we were busy, it was actually pretty relaxing. Today starts my stay-cation and I've already accomplished a lot! I went to crossfit this morning, got my hair cut, nails painted, went to the grocery store, and worked on a couple posts for the blog! How productive am I???!! We are headed to Chicago this weekend and next Friday I turn the big 3-0, so my summer has started off pretty exciting.  Below are some recent iPhone photos and if you aren't following me already you can follow me @scarletbegoniavintage on Instagram.



Oh and if you couldn't tell, I am obsessed with the app Picfx!


And fresh cut flowers that I buy from a farm down the street!



Happy Weekend

Friday, May 25, 2012

I just wanted to let you all know that I will be taking the long weekend off from blogging. I have been a bad blogger lately and I am sorry for the minimal posting and general lack of inspiration. So, I am going to use this long weekend to recharge and have some much needed fun so that I can dream up some  great ideas to post on my stay-cation next week. I realized last week that I have not taken a week long vacation (from my day job) in one whole year. The last long vacation I had was my honeymoon and that seems like ages ago! Anyways, I'll leave you with some photos from my honeymoon in Antigua...















Meet Green Bug Market Place

Wednesday, May 23, 2012

How cute are these?! I can think of a million uses for this sweet packaging. Check out Green Bug Market Place on Etsy here.




Things  are starting to slow down a bit for me which is good, but the weather is GORGEOUS, so I am not sure I want to be stuck inside blogging all day. However, I am on stay-cation next week, so I will try and dream up something creative for you ;)



80's Birthday Bash

Monday, May 21, 2012

As my 30th birthday is approaching (all too quickly), I am trying to find a super fab outfit to wear to the 80's birthday bash my hubby and friend are planning. If I didn't have an aversion to buying dresses online (who knows how they are going to fit my curvy body boo hiss) I would totally buy this neon outfit! I think it's, like, totally 80's!



Things I'm Afraid to Tell You

Saturday, May 19, 2012


Sooooooo, are you ready for this?


Well I guess I better just spit it out... I'm turning 30 in less than a month. Eeek! Wow, I feel so much better now that I got that off my chest... 

HA! All joking aside, (and by the way I am not making fun of this movement that has recently become all of the rage on the blogosphere, I actually really dig it. If you haven't seen it you really need to check it out, here) I am actually pretty psyched to turn 30. I feel like this decade is going to be a great time in my life and that I am well on my way to being the best me I can be. I have survived my awkward formative years (teens to early twenties) and that has made me who I am. I am pretty comfortable in my own skin and have developed a style that is all my own.  To put it simply, I know what I like and what I don't like and I am not afraid to voice my opinion about both. I think back to when I turned 20 and I don't think I really knew myself,  hell I know I didn't, I was still trying to be someone else's version of me actually. So, yes,  I am excited and optimistic about turning 30!

And... to top it all off my hubby and best friend, Cate, are throwing me a '80's birthday bash at one of our favorite local establishments! I. can't. wait.


Quick Post: After the Jump

Thursday, May 17, 2012


For all of you Design Sponge junkies out there (like me), you have to check out After the Jump, a weekly podcast that airs on Mondays at 12:00PM EST! Design blogger Grace Bonney, of Design*Sponge, takes her love art and design from the web to radio. Through a series of interviews with designers, store owners and up-and-coming members of the creative community, Grace will delve deeper into the world of independent artists. From exploring the day-to-day lives of contemporary makers to discussing the challenges they face, After the Jump will take the conversation off the screen and into real life.

Awesome, huh! I downloaded the podcasts and have been listening to them on my drive to work this week. Do any of you listen to podcasts regularly? If so, which ones?
