may it please the Court

Sorry for my unexplained absence for a few days. Is there nothing more death-inducing and stultifying than a black suit, black shirt and heels? I think any girl with boobs would do best to stay away from work shirts and yet here I am squeezing into the monkey suit. Unfortunately, in order to make an appearance at the High Court in New Zealand, especially when you're moving counsel for your good, good friend, "You are reminded that bands can be purchased from Kircaldies and Stains. The gowns are to be worn over a white shirt or blouse with a dark suit or skirt etc..."

Congratulations, Antonia! I am so proud of you. Thank you for the honour of being your moving counsel xx




♥ Suit and shirt from Country Road ♥ Heels from Mi Piaci ♥ Gown and wig on loan ♥

Thankfully, I got to shed the uniform for Anton's admission party, which was truly lovely. Not to mention being able to go home with five pieces of the chocolate cake above.



♥ Dress from Sussans ♥ Headband from Portmans ♥ Earrings gifted ♥ Purse is vintage ♥ Bolero from Witchery ♥ Bangle is gifted ♥

    All sounds very exciting - if it's any consolation you look hot and sassy in your suit! Plus that black dress is gorgeous on you, I love the detail with the one shoulder

    My boobs usually don't fit in suits... so I have to go a size or two bigger and I end up looking like a crazy person. Sad day.

    I really love that dress. I'm usually a little iffy on asymetrical necklines... but this is beautiful! You look so pretty and classy!

    Ana, how is it you have such perfect skin? Haha you look quite fantastic suited up. What does moving counsel do for an admission?
    I've been feeling a little more inspired to do some actual blogging, so I'm glad you like it :-)

    I actually think you look rather ravishing in the suit, although I am partial to suits having never been able to wear them to work myself.

    I also love your headband and the wig.. hehe

    Despite your disdain for the work suit, you wear it so well and look very classy! It sounds like you've been having an exciting & eventful few days! And, speaking of classy - your party dress!! It's gorgeous :)

    Chai holds a special little place in my heart. If only I could quell chocolate cravings with tea... I must work on that!

    It all looks so austere!! But, the ensemble on bottom [black dress, bolero, headband] is absolutely adorable!!! Can I borrow it? :)

    I love the draping on your purple dress! You look so beautiful in it!

    Wow, how exciting for you and your friend! You look so "fierce" in your suit! Pencil skirts are so elegant and chic. Nice CR outift :)

    HOLY YUM for the cake as well! That would make any day 100x better
