Christmas

It's that time of year again when Santa Claus is making his list and checking it twice.

 

Of course, if like our own Miss Lixx, your behaviour in 2012 has tended to stray more into the naughty category than the nice, then you may not get what you want from Santa Claus.

 

Admittedly there's every chance that a fat old man with a beard is going to find you suitably dishy and divine, but there's not much chance that he's going to shower you with expensive prezzies and treat you like a princess.

 

Fear not!

 

Help is at hand in the form of Glamour & Sparkle.

 

We might not stock Miss Santa outfits but we can guarantee you plenty of Christmas cheer without having to rely on the dubious charity of a portly bloke with an unconvincing beard.

 

Besides there are enough girls out there whose beards aren't convincing anyone without us complicating the issue further.

 

Whether you're shopping for a friend, a family member, a loved one or simply the most important person in the whole universe (in the case of Miss Lixx that person is, of course, none other than  Lexie, Queen of Lixxland), we have a glittering array of rings, bracelets, earrings and festive evening sets that are guaranteed to bring a smile to the lucky recipient on Christmas Day.

 

Keith, the Glamour & Sparkle elf, will make every effort to ensure that your purchases arrive with you in time for the big day.

 

To that end please note that the last date we can receive orders and guarantee delivery in time for Christmas is Wednesday 19th December.

 

Please check the website for the latest additions to our range.

 

In the meantime have a wonderful Christmas!

Sparkling In Leeds

This week sees the last Leeds First Friday event of 2012.

 

The December event is always one of the highlights of the year with the chance for girls to break out their new party frocks and let their hair down.

We have some outrageously fancy items that have freshly arrived and are guaranteed to put a spring in your step this Christmas.

 

Whether you're looking for that pair of killer earrings or a diamante necklace to die for, make sure you stop by and check out our latest range of divine jewellery.

 

We look forward to seeing you on Friday!

Red Carpets & Red Frocks

It's that time of year again when we get to step out from behind the Glamour & Sparkle stall, break out the ballgowns and tiaras and let our hair down.

Saturday is the 4th Enigma Ball at Bletchley Park, an event that has firmly established itself as one of the highlights of any girl's social calendar.

Organised by the fantastic Kathy Martin, the Enigma Ball is not be missed.

One might go as far as to call it Must See TV!

It's a night for killer heels, gorgeous gowns, enough diamante to light up the darkest of winter nights and everything that sparkles - whether that's champagne, bright eyes, jewellery, or if you're really lucky someone with a bit of wit, charm and sophistication.

But most of it all it's about the frocks, so grab your favourite gown and head for the red carpet for a night to remember.

Swansea Sparkle

It's a big weekend for the Glamour & Sparkle team.

Not only are we taking the glamour to Rotherham for the Beaumont Society's 21st anniversary weekend, we are thrilled to announce that we will also be taking part in the inaugural Swansea Sparkle festival.

This promises to be a wonderful day out for everyone at the magnificent Brangwyn Hall. The day gets underway at 11am and is expected to roll on past midnight, so don't forget to rest those tootsies when you get the chance!

As ever we will be bringing a wide range of items with us for you to enjoy. In addition to handbags, earrings, bracelets, bangles, necklaces - pretty much everything a girl could possibly need on the jewellery and accessory  front - we will also have an assortment of glamorous evening sets and tiaras that are just perfect for the party season.

We will also have Miss Lexie Lixx making her bow (that should be curtsy, surely?) as a salesgirl so make sure you come along and say hello.

See you in Swansea!

Rotherham Glamour

On Saturday November 17 Glamour & Sparkle are delighted to announce that we will be at the Beaumont Society Weekend in Rotherham.

This is the 21st anniversary of one of the biggest events in the calendar and promises to be a fantastic weekend, with plenty of opportunities to glam up and enjoy Saturday night's Diamonds & Tiaras theme.

We will have our customary wide range of jewellery for you to peruse at your leisure, an outstanding selection of tiaras and evening sets that will be just perfect for Saturday night, as well as some special festive items that are guaranteed to put a smile on your face this Christmas.

We look forward to seeing as many of you as possible.

Diamonds And Demons

It's close to that time of year again where failing to dress up in something suitably outrageous and fun is little short of a dereliction of one's duty as a girl.

The occasional pair of comfy shoes can be excused as a necessary evil and Bridget Jones pants can be regarded as just about acceptable in the direst wardrobe emergency.

However, when a girl turns her back on Halloween and passes up the chance to cast a spell over her dream man, then she forfeits her basic Female Rights.

Female Rights are a bit like Human Rights only more fun (and have absolutely nothing to do with real witches like Cherie Blair).

A girl's inalienable Female Rights include the right to bear mascara and lipstick; the right to carry a gorgeous handbag and the right not only to wear, but to look damn good in doing so, a short skirt.

Anyway, it's Halloween. So it's a time for naughty witches and sexy bitches, for slutty pumpkins and girls who like sins, for Snow Whites and Cinderellas and the girls who like the fellas to break out their most outrageous fancy dress costumes and enjoy a night to remember.

Of course, anyone can wear a costume. But can they accessorise it correctly?

Somewhere in the back of her wardrobe, our very own Lexie Lixx has a glamorous musketeer outfit - the girl has always been rather adept at handling a sword. On its own the outfit makes her look like the darling of 17th century Paris.

But throw in the right accessories - a pearl choker here, the right earrings there - and the girl would have D'Artagnan snapping his sword in his enthusiasm to get to grips with her.

Not that he'd have much luck; our girl may have a penchant for French lingerie and perfume but when it comes to the French themselves it's a definite, "Non, monsieur," with the possibility of a, "Peut-etre, mademoiselle," depending on how much Chardonnay she's sunk.

Anyway, the point is that the right accessories can take all you horny devils to higher levels when it comes to applying the finishing touches to your Halloween outfit.

Glamour & Sparkle are delighted to announce that we have a fantastic range of Halloween-themed jewellery available this year.

We've got skull rings and bracelets, coiled snake rings that will help you wrap your prey around your finger and a wide choice of seductive spider jewellery that will help you weave a web of intrigue and leave the world at your mercy.

So check out our exciting range (we don't do cauldrons) and allow us to help you cast a spell this year.

The devil's in the detail, girls.

Eastbourne Bound

With the days getting shorter - good news for all the girls who like to party all night - it's the perfect time to head to the coast to catch a little late Autumn sun.

This weekend the magical Glamour & Sparkle boutique will be appearing in Eastbourne for the Transliving Autumn Weekend.

The event runs from Friday afternoon through to Sunday evening at the picturesque Haddon Hall Hotel and is regarded as one of the highlights of the calendar.

Glamour & Sparkle will be in residence from 11:00am at Haddon Hall on Saturday and we have some fantastic new items for you to look over at your leisure, including our range of Halloween goodies that are guaranteed to raise an eyebrow or two.

For those of you who prefer your jewellery understated, we will have a wide assortment of rings, necklaces and earrings on display so there's sure to be something that catches your eye.

For full details of the weekend please check out the www.transliving.co.uk webiste.

We look forward to saying hello to you in Eastbourne.

Sparkling Spider

Little Miss Muffet was afraid of spiders. Consequently conventional wisdom suggests that all girls should be afraid of spiders.

Of course, if we're seeking inspirational advice from nursery rhymes and fairy tales, we can all rest assured that we're destined to end up with a handsome prince.

Life being what it is the average girl is more likely to wind up with three bears or doing the cooking and cleaning for seven dwarfs - especially if she likes wearing heels.

Yet regardless of what fairy tales and nursery rhymes claim to have in store for us, there's no reason for any girl to be startled by this particular arachnid.

This black eyed diamante spider ring is a stunning piece that is guaranteed to sparkle and catch the eye and also strike fear into the heart of any unwanted admirer who seeks to get too close.

We can't guarantee that wearing this ring will enable you to spin a silken web of intrigue and mystery and leave your prey helpless, but we do know that anyone lucky enough to feel this delightful spider's touch will instantly lose any fear of creepy crawlies.

What's more, at just £9.99, this sparkly spider is even cheaper than the average bowl of curds and whey, so there's no excuse for all you glamour girls, black widows and Miss Muffet-wannabes not to add this piece to your collection!

A Big Thank You For A Big Weekend

We'd just like to take this opportunity to thank the organisers of the Big Weekend at Pink Punters.

We had a lovely time and would like to thank everyone who put so much hard work into making it a real success. Thank you also to everyone who stopped by to see us.

We're already looking forward to the next event and can't wait for our next trip to Pinks.

In the meantime we will be back on the road in our familiar location at the Cosmopolitan Hotel in Leeds for the next First Friday event.

We're bringing the bling and have plenty of new items that we feel sure will put a spring in your step and a glint in your eye as you prepare for the party season, so stop by and see us on Friday night.

http://lff.racheltv8.co.uk/

The Big Weekend

Well, girls, we hope you're ready for a long weekend of partying.

This weekend we're heading south to Pink Punters for the Big Weekend extravaganza.

It promises to be a fantastic event, kicking off on Friday 14th and then spilling over into the early hours before the girls regroup and reconvene for round two on Saturday afternoon.

Glamour & Sparkle will be there on Saturday - we'll also be there on Friday night, sashaying rhytmically across the dancefloor with a glass of something fizzy and fruity in hand - and we'll be bringing plenty of goodies with us.

In addition to a wide range of earrings, bracelets and brooches, we'll be unveiling our latest collection of evening sets and tiaras.

We have some beautiful pieces on offer - just the ticket if you're looking for something to ensure you stand out at the Enigma Ball in November.

So whether you're looking for a choker you'd be choked to miss out on, a tiara to bring bitter tears of jealousy to the eyes of your friends or diamantes to die for, drop by and see us on Saturday afternoon! 

We look forward to seeing you this weekend - check out the Pink Punters website for more details.

A Tiara Worth A Tantrum

There comes a moment in every girl's life when she needs to take a good long look in the mirror and decide whether she wants to be queen for a day or is simply destined to spend the prime of her life schlepping around in the gutter.

If you don't like what you see in the mirror, fear not! There's no need for moping or sulking because any girl can transform herself into royalty with the right accessories.

As we always say at Glamour & Sparkle, accessorise don't compromise!

And accessories don't come any more regal than this stunning tiara. Whether you've dreamt of looking like a fairy princess or are ready to rule the roost as the queen of the prom, this majestic crystal and diamante tiara is for you.

Pippa Middleton might not have been jealous of her sister marrying a prince but she'd be ready to claw poor Kate's eyes out if big sister got her hands on this tiara. Indeed, not a lot of people know that the Middleton girls made a pact when they were younger - Kate got first dibs on royalty but Pippa got the pick of the designer bling.

So, girls. Don't miss your chance to grab a tiara that would grace the brow of any princess and put a smile on the face of any queen - Elton would throw a tantrum if he didn't get his hands on this one.

Alice's Wonder Band

It's always struck me that Alice was rather a lucky girl.

After all, she merely had to step through the looking glass into her own private wonderland.

On top of that she's synonymous with one of Australia's most famous towns and even had a city named after her in Texas (and given the choice any girl would prefer to live in Alice, Texas instead of Austin, Texas).

And then we have the Alice band.

How many girls are lucky enough to have an item of jewellery named after them?

Bobby Pin, anyone? Hardly the most glamorous of inventions and if you're a woman having to go through life named after Bobby Charlton, it's fair to say your luck's out.

However, no matter if you have a nasty name like Ermintrude or a pretty girly name like Lexie, you can still enjoy our gorgeous Alice bands.

This stylish piece has a double diamante design and is certain to add a touch of style to any hairdo and ensure you enjoy your rightful place in the spotlight.

Any girl will love this; and if you happy to be an Alice you'll be doubly happy to sparkle in a band named just for you.

Provided you're not Alice Cooper, of course...

Bringing The Glamour To Sparkle

This weekend we will be bringing the Glamour to Sparkle as we travel to Manchester for this year's national transgender celebration.

It might be a far cry from Miami or Monaco but this weekend the only party that matters will be taking place in Manchester.

We will be braving anything and everything the British summer can throw at us, to bring you a stunning array of our latest range of jewellery.

On Saturday the magical Glamour & Sparkle Boutique will be in residence at Sparkle in the Park, so drop by and pay us a visit.

Rest assured we have something for everyone this weekend. We have some delicious new products, ranging from the stylish and understated to the glamorous and chic to a few specially selected tip-top and over the top pieces for those who dare to make a statement.

It promises to be a fantastic weekend, so dig out your pink wellies and your rainbow brollies and sashay through the puddles to see us.

It'll be worth it!

Shiny and new, and guaranteed to make you feel like a veritable shopping virgin as you explore our fantastic brand new range of jewellery and accessories, our new site is waiting for you to visit us at your earliest convenience.

In addition to some gorgeous new items, we are celebrating the launch of our new site with some amazing half-price special offers.

Leeds Masquerade Ball

You might fear for my reason, I don't care what they say, look out baby it's the season, for the mad masquerade.

Appropriately enough it was that legendary queen, the one and only Freddie Mercury, who penned those sentiments. One can only assume La Mercury would have given his whole-hearted approval to this Friday's Transgender Masquerade Ball.

Held at the Cosmopolitan Hotel in Leeds, a familiar venue to all those who have previously sampled the delights of Leeds First Friday, this promises to be an extravagant and unmissable night out.

It's a night for ball gowns, glass slippers, plumes, feathers, boas, false eyelashes and the most ostentatious accessories you can lay your hands on.

After all, if you don't get your outfit just right, you can hardly expect anyone to be desperate to lay their hands on you.

Needless to say the best laid plans of girls and glamour queens tend to go wrong from time to time and there's every chance that you'll have left something behind in your bid to create the perfect outfit.

Fear not!

Should you experience a last minute wardrobe malfunction or discover that you've mislaid an earring or simply decide that your flashest frock deserves a more lustrous accompaniment, that legendary one stop shop you just can't top, the Glamour & Sparkle boutique, will be on hand to provide assistance and succour in your hour of need.

We will be in the foyer of the Cosmopolitan from 2:00-5:30 and will have a wide selection of items that no girl should be without on a night like this.

Whether you're looking for an evening set or the latest word in diamante chic, we're sure you will find what you are looking for at our boutique to ensure you are the belle of the ball.

See you on Friday!

Red Hot Polka Dot

As you girls will know there are a few things in life that can be regarded as rather essential.

These include, inter alia, a dress that makes all your friends jealous when you wear it on a night out.

Shoes to die for. Accessories that enable you to give off a vibe that is simultaneously demure and wanton.

And if you're lucky, a millionaire with a body chiseled out of granite ready to take care of your every need.

Personally I make do with my cat and a steady supply of batteries to ensure I don't get too lonely during the damp summer nights.

Yet far more important than any man - regardless of what he's carrying in his wallet or even if he really is pleased to see you - is the right handbag.

And in that respect we have a beauty for you, a bag that will delight sex kittens and hell bunnies alike.

Whether you want to impress your friends at the office or complement your outfit on a night out, this stunning retro handbag is for you.

Guaranteed to put a playful smirk on your lips and add swish to the tightest skirt, this A-List handbag will make you feel like a movie star. Regardless of whether you want to channel your inner Marilyn, make yourself feel like the hottest girl on Mad Men, or simply indulge your passion for polka dots, this is the bag for you.

Following the success of our trip to Blackpool last week - admittedly the most successful thing about it was that we weren't swept out to sea, avoided contracting pneumonia and, most importantly of all, didn't end up with streaked mascara in the rain - the Glamour & Sparkle boutique on wheels is heading for Calderdale Pride on Saturday.

It would be nice to report that we will simply be clicking our heels and magically appearing in the Piece Hall in Halifax. Unfortunately one of our ruby heels was last seen floating out to sea at Blackpool, so we're going to have to make do with loading the car with as much high class bling as we can lay our hands on.

We will be bringing a wide selection of our latest range of jewellery and an assortment of handbags and accessories so make sure you pay us a visit.

Whether you're after fishnets or a feather boa, a bracelet or a brooch, we have something for everyone. So forget the rain, put a spring in your step and drop buy to add a little sparkle to your life.

See you soon!

Jubilee Weekend

All roads lead to Leeds for the start of a hectic Jubilee weekend for Glamour & Sparkle.

We have a fantastic range of new stock to help mark the Queen's Diamond Jubilee and will be in our customary spot in the Cosmopolitan Hotel to provide you with any last minute jewellery supplies you may have this Friday night.

Although we don't have any tiaras we're sure you won't be throwing a tantrum when you see our great new range. Whether you're keen to take a closer look at the most dazzling collection of evening sets available in the north of England or just after a new pair of earrings to add a little sparkle to your outfit, we have something for everyone.

After we finish at Leeds on Friday we're off to Tadcaster on Sunday for Carnival Day. This promises to be a fantastic day out for all concerned so we hope to see plenty of our friends as we invite you to inspect our collection of jewellery that really is fit for a queen.

Not necessarily the queen but certainly a queen...

There's no rest for the wicked this weekend and on Monday and Tuesday we will be at Carlton Towers for the Diamond Jubilee Carlton Towers Extravaganza. This is going to be a spectacular event featuring live bands, fun for all the family and plenty of shopping opportunities.

We hope to see you at one of these events over the weekend so kick back and enjoy the sun and make sure you stop by and say hello!

And if you can't make it over the next few days remember you can browse our extensive collection of jewellery online at your own convenience.

http://www.glamourandsparkle.co.uk/

The Clock Is Ticking

As you kick back and enjoy what remains of what can only be described as a wooly tights weather weekend (a revolting image I know), console yourself with a spot of retail therapy.

The Glamour & Sparkle Giveaway has proved very successful and there's still time to bag yourself a fancy free gift if you spend over a tenner.

However, the clock is ticking and this great offer has to end at Midnight on April 30.

There are also a number of April specials including rings and a wide range of earrings at discounted prices.

Please check out the website for terms and conditions of this offer.

There's not much chance of the sun coming out this weekend, so put a little sparkle and sunshine in your life by treating yourself to something nice.

After all, every cloud has a silver lining but if you look closely enough you'll be able to find even the blackest cloud has a hint of diamante lurking somewhere.

Looking For Errol Flynn

I'm not going to lie to you, ladies. If you have any qualms about being the centre of attention then these earrings are not for you.

However, if you're ready to sparkle and grab the spotlight, these are exactly what you've been searching for.

Blessed with more than a touch of Je ne sais quoi, these beatuies were designed to catch the light, illuminate the room and place you front and centre in the attention stakes.

These are guaranteed to shine so brightly you could go dancing in the dark without the aid of strobe lights or a glitter ball.

These fabulous earrings have a four-inch drop and are two inches in diameter. These clips are perfect for any ear and wearing them will make you feel like a matinee idol.

Perfect for making a statement and hogging the limelight, these represent the greatest use of crystal since they designed the chandeliers for Errol Flynn to swing from.

Our Gift To You

Here at Glamour & Sparkle's Ivory Tower, we've been thinking of ways we can reward our loyal customers as well as new shoppers.

After giving it plenty of thought we decided that the best way to put a smile on people's faces is to offer them a freebie.

Obviously there are a number of ways to do this - we briefly considered the notion of our own Lexie Lixx rewarding all customers with a kiss but decided we didn't want our business mixed up with her pleasure - but we've elected to treat everyone who spends over a tenner at Glamour & Sparkle with a free gift.

We have a fantastic array of new designs and style on our website, items that range from the stylish and the elegant to statement pieces that are guaranteed to make jaws drop.

For full details of this fabulous offer and the chance to see our complete range of stunning jewellery, please check out our website as soon as possible.

This offer can't last forever. For all of you out there who know your fairytales (not to mention your Brothers Grimm!) the clock strikes midnight on this deal on April 30.

So all you sweet and sexy Cinderellas need to get your skates on - trust me you don't want to be rushing for this offer in glass slippers.

Glamour On Ice

There are times when less is more.

Obviously one has to be careful about judging these situations correctly.

For instance this particular maxim does not apply to shoes, handbags, the number of pairs of knickers you buy in the closing down sale at La Senza or the amount of millionaires ready to throw themselves at your feet.

However, every now and then there is nothing quite like the clean, simple and understated look to bring out the fire in your eyes, the passion in your heart and the sweet nectar in your lips.

This elegant set is perfect for ice maidens, ice queens, ice skaters (just think how the clean crisp cut of the necklace will complement the clean crisp cut of your blades) and even icy cold bitches with icy cold stares.

This necklace and matching earrings provide all the understated elegance you could wish for and provides the perfect accessory when you want nothing more than your frock to do all the talking.

A timeless classic that Audrey Hepburn would have appreciated, this is the epitome of cool refined chic and an essential staple of every girl's jewellery collection.

The Ultimate Teardrop

Well girls, spring is here and it's time to break out the bling. It's time for May Balls (not to mention any others you can get your hands on), evening parties, dinner dances and soirees, all events that cry out for something stunning in the accessory department.

We have come up with a fantastic new range of evening sets at Glamour & Sparkle. With 17 fresh additions to the range, we can now offer a choice of over 30 sets as we strive to cement our reputation as the ultimate destination for the perfect evening set.

We hope you will agree that we are well on our way to becoming the Bahamas of evening sets.

To that end we are delighted to unveil the jewel in our crown - or, if you prefer, the particularly shiny bauble in our tiara - this majestic diamante and purple teardrop set.

This stunning piece features a simply to die for purple crystal set in a silver sea of diamantes. An adjustable necklace makes this ideal for all who dare to wear it - this is a piece that is definitely not for the faint-hearted, so if you're not prepared to spend the evening fending off admirers, the envious glances of other girls and dismissing compliments with a delicate flick of the wrist, then this is not for you.

It comes with a fabulous pair of matching earrings that provide the perfect accompaniment to the necklace and will ensure you are the centre of attention.

We guarantee two things with this set - you'll look stunning; and everyone else will just look stunned.

Every Girl's Favourite Word

There are certain words in a girl's vocabulary that are guaranteed to put a spring in her step, a song in her heart and a smile on her face.

While every girl may have her own personal favourites it's fair to say you can't go far wrong with handbags, shoes, champagne, ice cream and possibly Clooney.

Yet perhaps no single word quickens the pulse and sets the heart racing faster than 'Sale.'

Glamour & Sparkle are pleased to announce that we currently have a wide range of items on offer at sale prices, including a number of pieces of jewellery with up to 50 percent off.

This is your chance to pick up a bargain as we have slashed the price of selected earrings, rings, bracelets and necklaces.

We have a wide selection of earrings available at half their original price and many great offers on a variety of other items.

Please check out our website for further details, or alternatively, drop by and see us at the Cosmopolitan Hotel in Leeds this coming Friday, March 2.

The Heart Of The Matter

It's that time of year again, the time for doomed, desperate - and often inadequate - romantic gestures, as the men of the world scuttle about incompetently in a frantic search for the appropriate Valentine's Day gift.

The 'perfect' gift is generally considered to involve a combination of red lingerie (in the wrong size), chocolates (Maltesers or After Eights - depending on what Pound Land has on offer), flowers (faded, mildew-laced affairs that have been purchased from the local petrol station) and the type of garish earrings that a Las Vegas drag queen would reject on taste grounds.

Basically men don't get it - which is why official statistics reveal that 83% of men who do buy gifts on Valentine's Day, don't get any themselves from the objects of their desire.

After all, what girl feels in the mood for amorous activities after scoffing a box of Maltesers, while simultaneously trying to maintain her balance with half a pound of tat dangling from her ears and discretely trying to ignore the scratchy, itchy feeling generated by her new nylon knickers?

So, ladies, instead of putting up with the feeble efforts of the man in your life (especially if he elects to compound his rubbish present by offering to burn cook you a special Valentine's meal), turn your attention to the Glamour & Sparkle website and treat yourself to something exotic.

Whether it's a necklace, bangle, brooch, ring or pair of killer earrings that take your fancy, we've got something for everyone.

Because on Valentine's Day it's not the thought (or lack thereof) that counts, it's getting something sparkly to make you feel a happy bunny - even if you have to treat yourself.

It's The Big One

There may be a chill in the air but that's no excuse not to have a spring in your step - and your heels - this weekend.

The Ringwood Hotel in Chesterfield is the venue for this year's Northern Concord Le Big En Weekend.

http://www.northernconcord.org.uk/Le%20Big%20En%20Weekend%202012.htm

For those of you lacking the necessary qualifications (a GCSE or maybe an O-Level)  in the language of love, (admittedly my own knowledge of la lingua Francais never got much beyond, "Bonjour. Je m'appelle Lexie. Je voudrais un grand sauvignon blance, s'il vous plait") it is of course The Big One.

Which is to say it's not what a large girl go on with a load of her friends a week before she gets married - that's a big 'en's 'en weekend.

The Glamour & Sparkle Boutique will be in residence at Ringwood Hall on Saturday and we will be bringing our 'A' Game with us to ensure you have the best opportunity to shine on Saturday night.

Please feel free to drop by the stall and browse through our wide range of handbags, bracelets, earrings, necklaces and myriad other jewellery ideas and solutions. We will also have a number of evening sets on display so you will have the chance to find the perfect accessory for the evening.

We look forward to welcoming you on Saturday.

If you can't make it on Saturday please check out our website to see the latest additions to our range.

Gloves & Garters

This Friday night (February 3) the Glamour & Sparkle stall will be in its traditional home in the Cosmopolitan Hotel, Leeds.

The opening Friday of the month provides the stage for another fantastic Leeds First Friday event http://lff.racheltv8.co.uk/.

February offers a twist to the usual great night out as this month there is a fetish theme. For all those excited by the prospect of whips and chains, velvet ropes and designer handcuffs, to say nothing of the intoxicating aroma of leather, PVC and rubber, this promises to be a wonderful evening.

Consequently in addition to being able to offer you our fantastic range of jewellery, including some super new additions to our collection, we will be able to provide you with everything you need to complete your outfit on the night.

Please drop by to check out our range of gloves - we can offer fishnets for the vamps and lace for the ladies - as well as stockings and garters.

All are designed to set the pulse racing, so make it a night to remember by wearing those hems high and flashing a little thigh.

If you can't make it on the night check out our complete range of accessories on our website.

Purple Reign

As someone once said there are times when you need to dance like there's nobody watching, love like you'll never be hurt and sing like there's nobody listening - especially if you're belting out Material Girl into your hairbrush and trying to hit the high notes.

And then there are the times when you want the whole world to be looking at you because you know you're the best-dressed woman in the place and you have the dress, the shoes - and the accessories - to prove it.

It's for nights like that Glamour & Sparkle have put together our fantastic range of evening sets, the perfect way to make a statement and ensure you get the attention you deserve.

This dazzling diamante set is available in both blue and purple and will be a spectacular addition to your collection.

The necklace features no fewer than 26 stones in an intricate diamante necklace, woven together with a touch of quality and class.

The accompanying drop earrings are equally impressive and provide the perfect match to the necklace.

This set is perfect for balls, special events and those nights when you know that you will have everyone watching and gasping in admiration - and any unfortunate asthmatics will be left choking on their inhalers.

Our necklace and earrings will take your breath away - once you're wearing them, you'll leave everyone else breathless.

Crystal Cheer

Among the latest shipment of stylish accessories to arrive at Glamour & Sparkle HQ are these attractive crystal cluster bracelets.

These charming bracelets offer further evidence - if any were needed - that when it comes to crystals you can't go wrong.

Regardless of whether it's chandeliers, champagne glasses or even a Crystal Maze (but not a Palace), you can always rely on crystal to add a touch of elegance and class to proceedings.

Adorned with eight crystal clusters, these bracelets are available in three colours - turquoise, pink and clear - and provide a stylish, yet understated elegance.

Simple yet sophisticated, these bracelets are sure to prove popular and offer excellent value for money. These crystals may not quite possess the lustre of Swarovski jewellery but at just £10.99 their value is clear for all to see.

Flower Power

This may be the ultimate necklace for any girl's wardrobe.

Frankly if you can't find a dress or blouse to go with this necklace then you're either bereft of style and class or are the type of person who lists 'Burka' as their favourite item of clothing when filling in the quiz in the latest issue of Cosmo.

Yet if you are not a refugee from the Planet that Style Forgot, you will love this necklace.

This is an exquisitely feminine piece that blends a vibrant array of colours with a stylish design and is guaranteed to make you look and feel fantastic.

It's a perfect accessory, whether worn during the day to bring a little glamour to one's outfit or for a night out when it's sure to catch the eye and sparkle under the lights.

At the end of the day the real question may not be, "What does this go with?" but "What doesn't this go with?"

Guaranteed to become a cornerstone of your jewellery collection, this fantastic floral design is the perfect accessory for any girl.

Web Design

From Charlotte's Web to the World Wide Web, to say nothing of the one that caused Miss Muffet to jump out of her knickers in fright, spiders have always been fashionable.

Yet our stunning new diamante spider brooch may just be the most stylish and spectacular eight-legged accessory ever to hit the market.

This elegant brooch will add a touch of glamour and sophistication to any outfit and it comes at a price that won't have you screaming for a man to smash it with a newspaper or rinse it down the plug hole.

So whether you're looking for something to enhance your favourite outfit, searching for the perfect gift for an arachnid-enthusiast who can tell her Redbacks from her Black Widows, or simply endeavouring to lure that special someone into your own silken web of intrigue, this brooch is the perfect accessory.
