Shiny Fashion TV gets a makeover

specsvid.jpgIf you haven't done so already, look to your right! How snazzy is our new video player? Looking at it almost makes me want to embarrass myself on camera.

With new quick click thumbnails (roll over them to find out what each video is about) and useful - and only slightly cryptic - buttons you can now easily email, embed and link to the videos so even more people can enjoy watching me (looking like a geek in my specs) fondling Dolce & Gabbana handbags.

Or you can just watch them yourself, of course. Enjoy!

Missing Style This? Then Play The Shoe Stylist instead!

We're taking a tiny break from Style This at the moment while I work on a few changes to the challenge and get the category working correctly (you'll notice the most recent challenge isn't displaying). In the meantime though, don't forget you can satisfy your styling cravings by entering Shoewawa's 'Play The Shoe Stylist'. I think this week's shoe is a particularly fun one to style. I might even have a go myself (anonymously, of course)!

Enter the challenge here!

CQ's Topshop Takeover continues with whites, bikinis and Kate Moss (of course)

tsbikini.jpgOur Topshop Takeover has gone into overdrive today, with loads more fab fashion from team CQ now live on TOPSHOP.COM. First of all there's 'Swim Fan', our look at some of the best swimwear on offer this Summer, with personal picks from some of the Catwalk Queen team.

Next up, we're going gaga for white clothes in 'White Hot'. It always happens at this time of year, there's something so fresh and summery about a crisp white blazer or a flippy white sun dress.

Finally, we got a preview of the latest range from Kate Moss for Topshop. I think the high Summer offerings - floral dresses, printed kaftans and ditsy daisies - may be the best yet!

Catwalk Queen continue to take over Topshop.com

topshoptocap.jpgIf you didn't already know, this week the Catwalk Queen team are twice as busy as usual, as we've got another stylish site in our care. Our mates at TOPSHOP.COM have handed over the reins to us for the week, and we're getting well into the swing of things writing their Style Blog, picking our favourite frocks and helping get everyone prepared for Summer.

We're also working on a very special edition of Topshop Style Notes, the amazing Topshop newsletter. If you want to see what the Catwalk Queens have to say, you'd better sign up quickly. Our special Style Notes will be going out tomorrow to anyone subscribed via TOPSHOP.COM.

We're so web 2.0 - stalk Catwalk Queen on the web

socialnetworking.jpgI'm not going to lie. We get around. There aren't many jobs that actively encourage social networking, so I've always taken advantage of it. CQ and Shiny Fashion can be found everywhere from MySpace to Twitter, and if you're interested in what goes on behind the scenes of a blog like this, they're definitely the places to go. Here's a full list of where the girls and I waste our time promote all things Shiny Fashion...

Catwalk Queen's Facebook Group (complete with grammatically incorrect name)
Catwalk Queen's StyleMob (we will update more, promise)

Catwalk Queen desperately needs interns (again)

helpus.jpg

It's that time again! Isabelle is a bit behind in her reading, I'm fielding calls from all our fashion friends ("Miuccia? Can't talk now, Giorgio is on the other line...") and Zara is very busy perfecting her sexy secretary look. In short, we're a bit swamped, and we're looking for some new fashion interns to help us out. We need to book in full-time interns for two week (minimum) work placements from now until the end of June. If you're a London-based fashion student with a CV to pad out, a blogger extraordinaire or just someone with loads of enthusiasm and a love of fashion, you might be the right person for the job. As you can probably tell from our videos and blog posts, and from the fashion week intern diaries, it's great fun being part of this team and we promise to treat you like one of the family!

Catwalk Queen nominated for a Fashion Blog Award (Fabbie)

fabbies.jpgWe all know it's awards season at the moment, and who needs the Oscars, Brits and Grammies when you have the Fabbies! The first Fashion Blog Awards are now in full swing, and we're very honoured to be nominated in the Fashion category. We're up against very stiff competition from some of our favourite fashion rivals friends, all of whom would be deserved winners. Of course, secretly we'd love to scoop the prize ourselves, so I'm going to ask very nicely that if you read and enjoy Catwalk Queen on a regular basis, you think about giving us your vote.

While you're at it, our sisters at Shoewawa and Kiss and Makeup are nominated too, in the shoes and beauty categories respectively, and would also appreciate your vote.
