glimpses from june 11-30.

while in New Jersey 21 long days in New Jersey.  what an incredible experience.  many days at the courthouse, late nights in the war room, ventured out to some wonderful restaurants and made time to workout in the hotel gym.

back in California  i returned from Jersey the day after my 30th birthday.  spent the next week and a half gardening, devouring my favorite foods, getting pampered at the spa, enjoying time with my friends, date night with my mum, and even indulged in some reading  - a guilty pleasure.

they really are giants.

Last week we sat courtside at the Kings v. Suns game.  The seats were amazing.  To be that close to the players was truly an experience.  Having our own waitress and private lounge wasn't horrible either.  We were totally spoiled!! 

My favorite moment was Marcin Gortat falling on us and our drinks spilling all over the place.  It was wonderful.  hehee.  Oh and the text messages from family and friends, when they caught a glimpse of us on TV, were hilarious!

Big thanks to my boss for giving us his tickets.  Unforgettable game!

a day to remember.

Well, last Thursday was an unforgettable day.  I filed a brief a week early, which never happens.  In fact, it was the first time it happened in all my 9 years in the legal field.  It felt glorious!  Unfortunately, that feeling was short lived.  After the filing, I made a quick stop to the ATM machine across the street.  It was a some-what windy day, but that didn't stop me from wearing my white pleated skirt.  Oh boy was that a bad decision.  It took one gust of wind to blow my skirt completely up and expose my knickers to everyone waiting in line.  I hope I never see those people again.  Haha.  I still *blush* when I think about it.

My Marilyn Monroe moment.

sparkle on.

Yeah, I wore a gold sequin skirt to work today.  What?!  I thought the office could use a little sparkle… a little fancy.

Whiteout

I wore this outfit to work last week. 
I love to wear all white, but only
when my skin has some color.

{Dolce Gabbana sunglasses, H&M blouse}

Wardrobe Staple

This is one of my favorite work dresses. 

I like to wear it with a little something underneath 

and with my leopard heels.
