rough

I'm not going to lie, I've had a rough morning. I guess because it's the first day back from vacation, or maybe because I tried unpacking my bags last night and gave up half way through (leaving my room a hot mess), or maybe because I ran out of coffee and had to go without until I got to the office, OR maybe because I woke up late and had to rock my natural waves. But whatever the cause, my mind was not with it this morning. It was so out of it that I left my work computer at home. And although I don't live too far away from my office, I live just far enough that it was completely inconvenient to go home. But when IT support fail- ie. they had no loner laptop for me- I was forced to run home (in my brand new shoes that haven't been broken in yet (OUCH)) and grab it. 

So long story short- if you just skipped the paragraph above- I'm in no mood for this Monday. Running home to cat and not being able to crawl back in bed was rough. But I didn't. I was a big girl, made my way back to work and now I'm starting the first Monday of the new year right. Wavy haired, cute new shoes, bad office coffee and all.

So Happy Monday all my loves! Enjoy!

turning TWO

Happy Birthday color. me. quirky!

If you've been following along since the beginning, then WOW, you've officially been following along for two years! Thank you so much for being awesome. 

I started this blog as a new years resolution in 2012. At the time I was looking for a creative outlet and wanted a way to keep track of my new years resolutions. Although I quickly scrapped tracking my resolutions, the biggest resolution- starting a blog- has stuck. And I have to say- although the writing part is always a bit of a task- having a place to share what I'm seeing & loving in the industry I have fallen for, is really fun. Two years later and I'm still having a blast sharing spaces to inspire.

So I won't go into any big resolutions that I am planning for 2015, however I will say that I plan to make it a great one. So thank you for following along thus far, and get excited for whats to come.

Love, SJ

bon voyage 2014

Well it's official, it's the last Monday of 2014. The last random inspiration Monday boost you will get this year. I guess that means I should make it a good one? Pshh, who am I kidding?! These inspiration boosts are always amazing :P 

I'm actually VERY wired on coffee right now. After a relaxing weekend of NYC Matzoball and a Netflix + Chinese food Christmas, a large latte was probably not required. I cannot wait to get through these next two days of work though. Only two more days and then I'm off until the 5th of January. Wow that sounds SO weird. January already. Don't worry though, I'll still post. It's color. me. quirky's birthday Thursday. Can you believe it? This baby blog will officially be two years old Thursday. Wow how time flies!

I hope you've all enjoyed cmq thus far and have a happy & healthy New Years! Wear something sparkly for me :) Enjoy!
