It Started Like This (Feb 2004)... Once upon a time there was a little girl who fell in love. With fashion. Like all love affairs, there were some turbulent times and many mistakes were made. The most disturbing being when she realised that she had cast aside so many outfits that had only been worn once or worse still never at all (oh, those impulse buys!). So she made a pact with herself to find a way to make each outfit look different every time she wore it. She decided that although her relationship with fashion would never end (it was her first true love, after all), she would start a passionate affair. With accessories. She was amazed at the response she received. Never before had she dared to wear the same skirt and top twice in one week but by teaming them with a bright bangle and earrings one day, and a glitzy hair clip and necklace the next, people were complimenting her like never before. Just by investing in some trendy necklaces, gorgeous bracelets, stunning earrings and amazing hair accessories, her wardrobe was transformed forever! But things didn't always remain this great. She soon discovered that, while there were some fantastic ranges available on the high-street, she wanted more. What she wanted, she decided, was a secret boutique full of beautiful costume jewellery and exquisite hair accessories. And she wanted her jewellery store to stay open all day long! Impossible, they said. A dream, they said. But she was determined. After months of endless research on costume jewellery around the world, she gradually put together her collection and she found her vocation in life. And so GlitzySecrets.com was born. A 24 hour jewellery boutique, full of glitzy costume jewellery and glamorous hair accessories. And is it a secret boutique? Not any more... And they all lived happily ever after. So here's what happened next... Since launching in 2004, Glitzy Secrets jewels have regularly featured in countless fashion magazines, from Marie Claire, Cosmopolitan and InStyle to Grazia, Hello and Heat, bridal publications including Bride, You and Your Wedding, Wedding, Cosmopolitan Bride, Wedding Ideas and Perfect Wedding and national newspapers including The Times, The Daily Mail, The Express, The Sun and The Mirror. TV appearances include shows such as BBC1's Strictly Come Dancing, ITV's Dancing on Ice, Gok's Fashion Fix and Footballers Wives as well as catwalk appearances including Ronit Zilkha’s show at London Fashion Week. Now the must-have web address in the little black books of Fashion Editors and Stylists, Glitzy Secrets has gained a growing celebrity fan base with celebrities choosing to wear the collection at many glamorous events and awards ceremonies. Bowing to customer demand, Glitzy Secrets costume jewellery and hair accessories are now available from stockists around the UK and Ireland. So, as you can guess, the secret is definitely out!!!
