Lotus Cattleya sandals and Joseph Ribkoff dress

A summer dream team for parties or weddings: Lotus Cattleya sandals in nude with a flattering Joseph Ribkoff dress in lime and leopard print.

I was thrilled to be gifted these gorgeous Cattleya high stiletto heel peep toe sandals from Lotus. Look at the elegant cut out style, which has some diamante that sparkles very invitingly. And they slip on, with no straps needing to be adjusted. Even better, they're a neutral colour which goes well with anything.

I've teamed the sandals with a Joseph Ribkoff dress - I wrote about how every woman should have one. Ribkoff is a Canadian designer, and the dresses are always very flattering with drapy fabric and elegant designs. I found it on eBay, where I have a permanent search for Ribkoff dresses. It isn't on sale now so I've chosen a couple of other Ribkoff dresses in the shopping guide below.

The dress is a bit low cut on its own so I wore a lime green top from Kettlewell underneath, and added a cream bolero top, also from Kettlewell.

This shows the sandals close-up - aren't they pretty! I like a pale pearly nail polish for toes and this is my favourite, Happy Anniversary by OPI.

I took advantage of the gorgeous weather but it also presents its own challenges with glare, shadows, too bright light --- hence the indoor shots!
