Black jelly sandals

Really cute black jelly sandals with heels and white buckles that I’ve wanted to buy for quite some time and found them marked down so I couldn’t resist! J

Sharp studded triple buckle ankle booties

very sharp looking triple buckle ankle boots with studs that make my heart sing...

compare to the red Zara boot...

which are pretty cool in themselves...

the Chloe Susanna boot - and the red ones please!

and a close cousin to the Susanna but alas not as sexy...

Cute black and white polka dot dress

Love this really cute flared black and white polka dot dress that will look great with a moto jacket...

black and white geometric print cardigans rule!

 love this black and white batwing geometric pattern cardigan...

they're really cute in cream and black too... But to go along with the Native American theme and to get the most bang for the buck, I want to team them with coloured jeans in a Native American colour palette...

like these terracotta / clay jeans...

 red skinny jeans...

or teal skinny jeans...

and for shoes, these black peeptoe booties...

and these studded triple buckle booties...

and even these cream / ivory cuff ankle boots...
