Help me accessorize a lbd

I've got this dress in black to wear to a 60th party, dress code glamorous. How should I accessorize? I was thinking sparkly shoes like these or these with a sparkly diamond tennis bracelet and earrings. Or are the shoes naff? Should I stick to black? What about a bag? Sparkly silver or a bright colour? Or black? Help!!

Oops, just realised the dress has sold out since I posted, so no image! You can see it here (hopefully)

Lovely dress OP. Lots you can do with it.

Honestly I'm not keen on the sparkly shoes. I'd go with colour block sandals with 2 or 3 colours (on my phone do can't link sorry) and a statement necklace. Probably do a smart black clutch with this option.

Alternately you could go black killer heels, statement earrings and gorgeous red lips.

Thanks Makingdoo. The party is overseas where it is winter (although not freezing cold) so I'm not sure about sandals. Thinking courts could be better so I can wear neutral tights as my legs aren't great.

Also, I wasn't sure about a necklace as the neckline is quite high, so I was thinking just bracelet and earrings for jewellery. Argh! I went looking for shoes today and didn't get anywhere, we're leaving on Friday and I've only got one day off to shop before then so I'm panicking!

Ooh sounds exciting. My friend has those shoes, I think they look fab in real like so would stick with them. Do you have pierced ears what about some earrings?

I like these

Lovely dress and love the idea on the sparkly tennis bracelet but I'm also not keen on the sparkly shoes. they always remind me of little girls ballet pumps you see everywhere around Christmas. Dune always seen to do nice shoes with a bit of bling.
