Frocks & Rocks

February is drawing to a close which means Lent is in full swing and we're counting down to Easter which - if you're like me - means trying not to worry too much about the effect of too many chocolate eggs.

 

It's hard to accept that something that tastes so good can wreak so much havoc on your hips.

 

Anyway, as a girl who has never really seen the point of denying herself anything - frankly life's too short, I don't have the willpower and how could I be mean to myself when I'm so cute - I'm happy to announce that at Glamour & Sparkle we have some new fantastic new items that we feel sure will put a smile on your face and a spring in your step.

 

This might just be our most fantastic ring yet, something so sparkling and frankly so precious that Gollum really would sell his soul for it.

 

This fabulous ring is guaranteed to get the rocks off of even the most jaded of jewellery aficionados (figuratively speaking of course).

 

Our latest ring is ensured to land not just one, but two knockout blows in the style stakes.

 

The large clear stone is certain to make a statement and is the perfect complement to one's outfit on a night out when you're dressed to impress.

 

At the same time the intricate and incredibly feminine diamante detailing around the side of the ring will catch the light and add extra shimmer to your sashay.

 

We'll be at the Cosmopolitan Hotel in Leeds on Friday March 1 to help you kick off LFF with a bang and to help out with any last minute fashion disasters that may have befallen you.

 

Drop by and see us and check out our new range of rings and things and gasp with delight and amazement at our enchanted selection and wonder just how you managed to live before you tried one of our sparklers for size.

Love Is In The Air

 February 14 is nearly upon us once more, which means it is again almost time to commemorate the Martyr Valentinus who died on the 14th of February on the Via Flaminia close to the Milvian bridge in Rome back in the third century by showering the one we love with chocolates, roses and serious bling.

 

Personally I'm not sure what a Roman saint has to do with being treated to the lingerie and perfume I deserve, but then again I didn't have time to study Wikipedia too carefully.

 

Yet regardless of whether you're counting on your other half to treat you to something special this year, or are simply resigned to pampering yourself or stuffing your face with love-hearts on the perfectly reasonable grounds that all men are twats and you're better off without one, Glamour & Sparkle have selected a fabulous range of jewellery to help you celebrate the day in style.

 

So whether you fancy cutting a dash in rubies, sparkling in diamantes or flaunting a spectacular piece of crystal, we have something that's just right for you.

 

Check out our Valentine's range now!

Leeds Meens Moobs

Well...

 

What does one say to the news that Leeds - the city that rocks, the city never sleeps - appears to have been built on sausage rolls.

 

What else can one say in the wake of a nationwide survey that reveals Leeds has been officially labelled as the Moob Capital of the United Kingdom, nipping in ahead of Swansea and Glasgow to, ahem, breast the tape first, as it were.

 

Fortunately the spotlight won't be on the chaps with chests this Friday night as it's the second Leeds First Friday event of 2013.

 

This means that the girls will be out in force, squeezing themselves into an ever-so-slightly tight bra to enhance their assets.

 

As you can see from the photo, our own Miss Lixx, that demure sweet young lady, knows a thing or two about making the most of her natural charms; it just goes to show that there's no point in shelling out thousands for implants when a Matalan bra can have such a magical effect.

 

After all, it's not every girl who can persuade a happily married woman to cop a feel simply by playfully juggling her, erm, jugs in a suitably provocative manner.

 

Regardless of whether you're flashing your boobs or hiding your moobs, Glamour & Sparkle have something for everyone this Friday at the Cosmopolitan Hotel.

 

For the girls we have some exciting new items, including our special Valentine's range which is guaranteed to add a little sparkle to your outfit and help ensure that Cupid fires his arrows in your direction.

 

For the guys, well, let's just say we've got the kind of goodies that will make the special lady in your life go all giggly and girly, a feeling that will make them particularly keen to show their gratitude.

 

Drop by and see us on Friday.

Earring Extravaganza

There's something classically understated about Johannes Vermeer's masterpiece Girl With A Pearl Earring.

 

Vermeer's subtle strokes and the manner in which he draws attention to the single earring testify to his genius and succeed in making most observers overlook the fact that he couldn't find himself a model with decent hair - seriously, who wears a headscarf when they're having their portrait painted?

 

At Glamour & Sparkle we have no time for such nuances as understatement and subtlety (although ironically enough if you stop by and see us at one of our shows  you'll find a fantastic range of scarves).

 

If you want to blend effortlessly into the lifeless, soulless background of the urban jungle and display all the pizazz of a particularly dull wallflower, then you're in the wrong place.

 

However, if like us you believe that an earring should capture the imagination, radiate in its own spotlight and take away the breath of the crowd, then you will be delighted to know that Glamour & Sparkle are launching their new 2013 range of earrings on January 18.

 

We've got teardrops to make you cry; hearts of glass to make you skip a beat; diamante encrusted hoops that would light up a basketball court and chandelier style designs that would grace any queen's palace.

 

And as a concession to all you ladies out there who think there's a lot to be said for subtlety and understatement, we've even stocked up with of the daintiest and demurest pearls you could possibly imagine.

 

Something for everyone, as they say.

New Year, New You

Hello and welcome to 2013!

 

We hope you all had a fantastic Christmas and New Year and are all ready to hit the ground sashaying in your cutest killer heels and most divine dress this January.

 

Whether you've overindulged yourself at Christmas (our own Miss Lixx has threatened to redefine the term curvaceous; she's also threatened to sue the horrible person who evidently sewed the incorrect size label into her new frock), or stuck religiously to your diet and eschewed the fun things in life champagne and chocolate (in which case there's a good chance you shouldn't be here anyway), we have something for you this January.

 

We have a fantastic new collection of rings, bracelets and earrings and have also taken fresh delivery of some of our most popular designs so you're sure to find something that catches your eye.

 

So if you're looking to reinvent yourself with a new image (sadly Miss Lixx's bid to reinvent herself as a size 12 is on hold for the foreseeable future) or to add a touch of elegance and Je ne sais quoi to the status quo, then Glamour & Sparkle has something for you.

 

It's a new year so it's time for a new you - a more sparkly, more glamorous version of the existing you.

 

After all, Apple and Microsoft don't have the monopoly on upgrading and relaunching things, so get out their girls and let the world know you're coming.

 

This promises to be the biggest year in Glamour & Sparkle's history and we can't wait to share our exciting new range with you.

 

As ever we will be at Leeds this Friday in the Cosmopolitan Hotel so please feel free to drop by and see us if you're attending this month's Leeds First Friday event.

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!
