I thought that featuring these colours would be quite appropriate as we say goodbye to the most beautiful month of the season.

The rust and mustard colour combination is a comforting and warm palette. I feel cozy (more…)

Raspberry & Gold

Every season I create eight NEW colour combinations for glamjulz.  These colour combinations come from a place of inspiration, passion and a clear vision.

My suppliers sometimes laugh at me when they show me all the pretty new beads.  The dialogue on my side is always, NO! NO! NO . . . don’t like those (more…)

Bringing Back The 90’s

Did you spend your 20’s in the 1990’s?  Anyone out there with me on this one?

I am completely engulfed in the fashion trends this fall!  Everything I LOVED about the 90’s is back and better than ever.

Lace, leather, deep burgundy lips, mini skirts and platform shoes.  Oooooh (more…)

I’ve heard it said time and time again, a handful of good friends is all you really need in life.

What if I said that more than a handful is also wonderful?  Would I be wrong?

I have the friends I grew up with, the friends I’ve worked (more…)

October Is So Much More Than Pink

blog8

Yesterday I changed our glamjulz facebook header and profile pic to pink!  I wrote on my personal page about someone who showed an act of kindness towards me with a little pink angel. I also sent out a special message to our email subscribers about our “3 Little Wishes” julz for 2016.

In other years October came and went and I never related it to the colour pink or Breast Cancer awareness.

For me October was about cozy fires, watching the leaves change colour and thinking about all of the things that I was thankful for.

Years went by and then – reality hit . . . (more…)

If you’ve been following our activity on Social Media this week you have probably seen the posts I’ve written about our fall colour combinations.

Every single colour combination has a story.  I wrote about the colours, why I chose them, the inspiration and how I see you wearing them.

I think that it’s also important to know that glamjulz is about so much more than (more…)

Last Thursday September 8th was an exciting day!  Joelle’s in Burlington celebrated 20 years in business!

Why am I telling you this?  Ummmmm, because she’s an incredible entrepreneur and the very first boutique I ever sold to.

It was September 1999 (more…)

My Bright Friend Nancy!

BRIGHT

Don’t you love it when you meet someone new and it feels like they’ve been a friend all of your life?

You might call them a kindred spirit, a friend from a past life, a sister from a different mother.  Whatever you call them, don’t you just LOVE it when this happens?

I’ve got a special one to share, (more…)

A couple of months ago I received a request for a custom necklace through the glamjulz website. We often receive custom requests and they are usually because someone is looking for the perfect julz to go with a special outfit.  This request was different.

A lovely woman by the name of Allison wanted us to create a piece that would replicate (more…)
