Fee's Glass Emporium

2009-09-20T03:29:00.000-07:00

One of Spicehawk's dearest friends is an incredibly talented lady who creates some very very gorgeous glass work. I was lucky enough to receive a piece of said gorgeous glass for my birthday this year, and instantly fell in love with it, so when my lovely friend started to sell the glass, I desperately wanted to help to make this business a huge success.

My glorious sun always makes me smile when I look at it, as it hangs from my bedroom window. The colours are what I call "happy colours".

However, amazingly, Fee's Glass Emporium doesn't just sell Glorious Suns. Oh no, there are also Black and White Iridescent Stained Glass Stars, which are made of an almost mother of pearl style white glass, and a black glass which has streaks of purply, dark greeny colours through it too.

There are also many different Autumn Leaves, which are stunning, and vary in colour. They're stunning!

Any window without one of these beautiful Sun Catchers is, in my opinion, a naked window. So to add some colour and pizazz to your window, why not purchase one or two pieces of gorgeous glass?

To purchase the glass now, you can visit Fee's Glass Emporium on Etsy -

or on Ebay too - http://shop.ebay.co.uk/fiona3974/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=

Royal Ascot Outfit 2

2009-06-18T03:43:00.000-07:00

This is Wednesday's outfit.

I based this one on the floral prints that are on trend at the moment.
This outfit is a warmer outfit, as Wednesday was a cooler day with a dash of rain.
I hope you enjoy this outfit and it inspires you to wear something similar this summer.

Royal Ascot Outfit 1

2009-06-16T03:35:00.000-07:00

With Royal Ascot starting today, I have put together a series of outfits that would look great at the races. Everyday this week, I'll be posting the outfits. As each one is in a completely different style, they won't be boring! ;-)

As I can only dream of going to Ascot this year, I will be sat watching the coverage on the BBC, and pretending that I am wearing these outfits, this week, (whereas, actually, I'll be wearing a sundress and flip flops *wipes a tear*). I hope you enjoy the coverage, and that this beautiful outfit will inspire you to wear something similar, sometime this summer! SpiceHawk x

This outfit is inspired by what I wear daily. Mainly boho style. Dressing up, of course, means you should look fabulous! But it doesn't mean you can't be comfy too. This was my mantra when designing this outfit.

This Week's Treats

2009-06-14T10:48:00.000-07:00

What SpiceHawk is tipping as her top treat buys this week. Enjoy! SpiceHawk x

Mama Do - Pixie Lott.
Fantastic song to listen to in the bath, whilst reading a lovely book or to have a good old sing song to!
Available to purchase in good record shops and to download on iTunes.

Party All Day - By Steel Panther.
This song is from the new album 'Feel the Steel'. It features Justin Hawkins, of Hot Leg and formerly of The Darkness. This song is a great tune to dance around the house to, and to cook to, believe me ;-)
The album is available to purchase from good record shops, and both the song and album are available to purchase from iTunes.

Series Three of Hotel Babylon on DVD.
With the fourth series of Hotel Babylon starting on the BBC, here in the UK, on Friday, this DVD is a great buy. It will make sure that you are up to date with the past episodes, and will provide you with hours of glamorous and hilarious entertainment, with some touching scenes too.
Available from Amazon, the BBC Shop and to download from iTunes (along with Series one and two).

Embellished Neck Trim Dress from Warehouse - £45.
This dress is absolutely beautiful! It could be worn at a summer wedding, tea party, birthday party, lunch or dinner with a loved one, or even at the races.. Ascot anyone?
It would look great, teamed with gladiators, a floppy hat and a cute bag.
Definitely a fantastic summer outfit investment.
Available from Warehouse stores across the UK, and online.

Miss Dior perfume by Dior - around £56
This perfume smells divine! It's delicate scent is a sure hit for summer, during the day and the evening.
Spritz this whenever you need a quick brightening during your day, and it will plaster a smile on your face (and many passers by) for hours on end.
I adore it, and will be wearing it all summer, and maybe even during the first few weeks of Autumn ;-)
Available from Boots UK.

I think I need a doctor. I have a case of Red Light Fever.

2009-06-10T15:43:00.000-07:00

One of my most recent album purchases, was Red Light Fever by Hot Leg. As I am simply infatuated with this album, I thought I'd blog my review. Enjoy, and I hope it encourages you to have a listen to the album, and maybe purchase it too! SpiceHawk x

As many fans of The Darkness will confirm, the release of this album has been long awaited.
Two and a half years have passed since The Darkness became a distant memory, and they couldn’t have passed slower for the fans of Justin Hawkins and co. The band decided to call an abrupt end to their highly successful career due to personal reasons, leaving fans bereft and wanting more.

With new tattoos, a new name and a clean mind and soul, Justin ‘Dave’ Hawkins’ new band, Hot Leg, has refreshed the ears of Darkness fans, with a punchy and vibrant album. Displaying an array of foot stomping, eardrum bursting musical treats, Red Light Fever is certainly not a disappointment. The tunes range from the punchy, fist clenching, feel good songs such as “You Can’t Hurt Me Anymore” and “Cocktails” to the sweet and succulent rock ballad “Kissing in the Wind".

A personal favourite is "Ashamed". The song is catchy, and sends a shiver down my spine. I love it!

This album was worth the wait, and is a perfect album to listen to on a Friday night. Although it may not be to everyone’s taste, it is a sure hit for former fans of The Darkness. I would give this album 10/10 and would recommend it to any fan of great music.

In the words of Hot Leg,
Great Music, Great.
