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.
 
The Glamour & Sparkle crew will be in residence at the Cosmopolitan Hotel from 7pm onwards to help you with any last minute items you may need for your big night on the town or to tempt you with something suitably sparkly for the festive season.
 
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

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.
