Jelly Sandal Joy

Loving the fact that JELLY SANDALS are knocking about again, and reinvented in an easy to wear neutral palette rather than just a super kitsch sense.

Luckily the material makes them perfect for rainy cities too. 

The brooch backs simply feed through the loop of the buckle strap before fastening with a swivel clasp, so don't need to pierce through.

Chanel ones, although they seem more Blancmange than jelly...yum!
