12 Good Reasons

Spring is here (not that you'd know it if you've been splashing through the puddles in your high heels) and it's the perfect time to add a little sparkle to your jewellery collection.

 

For those of you who can't wait for the Easter Bunny to bring you the egg of your dreams (incidentally, do bunnies eat eggs themselves, or just deliver them?), we've got a fantastic offer for you to enjoy.

 

Throughout March and April Glamour & Sparkle are offering free delivery on all orders over £12.

 

With a fantastic new range of earrings on offer, plus dozens of other exciting new arrivals, there's no excuse not to treat yourself.

 

Just spend over £12 and the postage is on us - the jewellery will look great on you.

Make Your Mother's Day

There are only a few days to go to one of the most important days of the year, a day when to get things even slightly wrong means a lifetime (well, an hour or two at least) of indignant recrimination and snide comments about wicked children and rhetorical discourses about carrying such an ungrateful burden for nine months.

 

If you're anxious to unleash such a whirlwind of resentment about your head on March 10, then feel free to head off down to your nearest pound shop and snap up a box of Maltesers and the cheapest card you can find - or better yet wait until next Sunday and buy some half-dead flowers from the petrol station - and present them to your mother.

 

On the other hand, if you want to give her a gift that you feel is a suitable token of appreciation for all the sacrifices she has made on your behalf, for all the times she's washed and ironed your clothes, fixed the strap on your favourite shoes, assured you that you're the only one in the family with the ability to look good in that dress and generally kept calm and not freaked out when you've raised the possibility of going out in a frock that could generously be regarded as a little short, then we have just the thing for you.

 

More importantly we have just the thing for your mother.

 

Whether you're after a ring that will make her feel like the central character in her favourite period drama, a necklace that will bring a smile to her face, an elegant bracelet that will go with any outfit, or even an evening set that she can wear the next time she escorts her favourite daughter on a night out - or better yet can flaunt in the face of her friends with less angelic children - Glamour & Sparkle have the right gift for you.

 

Drop by the website to see our fantastic range of gifts that will make your mother's day.

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.
