It's Friday afternoon, which means things at Shiny Towers are slowly winding down as we dream of post-work cocktails and lazy weekends. Here's what's been on our minds this week, from Dita's catwalk turn to the latest trapeze tops...
* Australia Day. With a fair few Aussies on our staff, it's no surprise that tonight is all about donning something comfortable and downing a few drinks. When Kim puts her cowboy boots on, we know it's going to be a long night.

An important essential if you want to look groomed is a clothes brush. You're probably wondering if I've flown in from the 1800s, or that I've maybe been reading too much Dickens, but trust me. Like having tweezed eyebrows and neat nails, brushed clothes give that subtle finishing touch that make a real difference. A clothes brush will quickly remove all the lint, hairs, and bobbles from your clothes much more effectively than those sticky rollers. Taylors of Bond Street offer a wide selection of bristle clothes brushes including a pewter backed number for £59. If your income is more nylon uniform than old boy's school tie Muji do a nifty pocket brush for just £1.75, the velvety finish is perfect for removing fluff. The daddy of them all is the John Lewis 3-way clothes brush, which includes the coventional bristles, velvet side and taped edge for removing bobbles, it's a bargain at £9.50. Now there's no excuse for slovenly habits young ladies!

I'll still be contributing loads, but you'll be seeing much more of my Aussie sidekick from now on!
We decided with a new editor we needed new features, so here's the first. CQ Secrets is basically our chance to share what we've been swooning over in the past week or so. If you've always wondered what we talk about in the office, then you need to get out more look no further...
