I love me a bit of sparkle and a bit of Reiss. How perfect! Xxx
I add sparkle to my festive season by adding sparkle to the UK economy…ie shopping at Reiss!
Totally with you on that, I’ve given up pretending and am well and truly into the festive season right now!
That sequin slouch jumper is perfect for some Christmas Day sparkle!
I’m all about glitter nail polish – and glitter top coats – this season – perfect for Christmas parties and a little festive sparkle for the office too!!
PS email is sugarandspice.shopgirl (at) gmail.com
For a splash of Christmas sparkle and glamour I always buy a ‘Christmas’ jumper (no, not a knitted charity shop one) that’s got a sprinkling of glitter on it so I look like I’m getting in the spirit of the season, sparkle about it one with a little sparkle. I also add a pair of gorgeous leather gloves and a cosy bobbled hat for my winter wonderland look!
I love sparkle and glitter for xmas! To add sparkle to my xmas I always use OPI. Glitter nail varnish in red! It sparkles, its glittery and its a great way to be festive!!
I will (hopefully, if I win!) add a bit of subtle sparkle to my Christmas parties by donning the Reiss Olympia heels. Got to love that sequin toe cap! hollydudley@hotmail.com x
After getting divorced this year, I need a bit of sparkle in my life..! Love the idea of daytime sparkle…
For sparkle, it would have to be this slouchy sequinned jumper for me (http://www.reiss.com/womens/knitwear/monty/black/)… but if I won I would love to be able to treat my other half, as I know he has his eye on a new coat from Reiss.
Love it all! Even though it’s just the four of us on the day I’ll be sparkled up to the nines and accessorising with lots of bubbles!
I add sparkle with my glittery nail polishes. Bit of a nuissance taking it off but totally worth it! <3
What would life be without some sparkle – from bonfire night to xmas day … sparkle is where it is at
The festive season is the only time when I add sparkle! It will definitely be on my nails and eyelids… I really want a sparkly knit this Christmas though (need to find one that doesn’t itch!)
sparkle at Christmas is best served in a glass !!! it would be even more perfect wearing those gorgeous jacquard trousers from Reiss ! i do think they would match perfectly with a glass of bubbly, and of course matching glitter on eyes and nails x
Sparkle bag and eyemakeup on me, for my home sink a Lily in a glass vase (Tie some cotton onto stalk and weigh it down with a pebble) sprinkle glitter on the top and light T lights, doesn’t last long but really lovely!

I have a black & silver striped top that I wear with black trousers
I add a little “sparkle” to my Christmas by using a body moisturiser such as Swarovski when dressing for a night out – this really looks effective!
I also like to wear a special, sparkly top/ jumper on Christmas day when I have my lunch and then visit my family in the afternoon.
I add sparkle to the festive season by wearing a gorgeous beret with a layer of pink shimmer under the black outer layer for a subtle nod to the trend on my early morning commute. That, and my gold sparkly travel card holder!
Love the tote bag, it’s gorgeous! Reiss dresses are gorgeous too, would love to have something snazzy to wear at Christmas.
I like subtle sparkle. A thin gold glitter waist belt, glittery shoes or a sparkly hair pin.

We add sparkle by ensuring that nobody is allowed in our home over christmas without wearing at least one item with a christmas theme to it!
I add sparkle by polishing my baldy head
I add a bit of sparkle to Christmas by telling my friends I’m not a fan of glittery christmas cards as I end up finding glitter on my face 7 showers and a week later after opening them! Oh course, my lovely friends being my lovely friends now insist on the most glittery cards to give to me! …So I’m always sparkly over the festive season!
PS The Monty sequin jumper & Lou tote bag are amazing!!

Jewellery – more bling the better at Christmas – the one time of the year its OK to go over the top with glitz!

I add sparkle to Xmas by accessorising. Add a gold sparkly wrap to a simple black dress, or a deep purple dress with black heels that I have added purple glitter bows to.

I usually team a sparkly top with some plain trousers for parties at Christmas and Nedws Year. I also use a shimmer powder on my cheeks and breastbone and a little sparkle in my hair.

With Glitter spray and Champagne!1
Sequins all the way!!
I love adding a bit of sparkle to my life at this time of the year, the days are dark enough for lots of sequins not to look overdressed and the warm lights at night make you sparkle even better
I love a bit of glam at Christmas time!! Glittery eye liner, sparkly heels and lots of red Christmassy accessories! cherwaite(at)gmail(dot)com

One rule – it’s got to have sparkle or it’s not christmas time – clothes, jewellery, make up & nail polish – I love to dazzle!

I add sparkle to my festive season every Christmas by buying giant sparklers! On Christmas eve, the whole family goes outside to show Santa where to land his sleigh! The younger ones love it, and even the grown-ups are partial to a bit of sparkler-fun!
Just dressing what you feel comfortable and not being embarrassed about it as you make your own style and sparkle. Also appreciating what is going on around you and thinking positive plus looking at the bright side of life always helps.
Understated with some glittery eyeliner for the Christmas party. That reiss dress is weakening my determination to not buy another new dress for said party!! Oh and lots of white Christmas lights to add sparkle at home too….love it.

diamonds are a girl’s best friend

Otherwise, these AMAZING leggings should do the trick: http://www.reiss.com/womens/womens-new-arrivals/carrie-sparkle/black/
