World Women Weblog For Fabulous Ladies Only!

Visit On|Off in Second Life and your character can watch videos, visit designers and even snag virtual t-shirts, just like in real life (and without the queues, cold weather and catty fashionistas).

Our girls at NY Fashion Week are definitely earning their keep! Not only have they been reporting from the front row, they're heading backstage too. Shiny Style and Shiny Gloss headed backstage at Abaete to check out the secrets that go into putting together a New York Fashion Week catwalk show...
It's no surprise that with the writers strike cancelling events like the Golden Globes, loads of celebs have been turning up at Fashion Week in an attempt to grab some column inches, support their favourite designers and pick out their next premiere outfits.. Here's just a taster of who's been spotted so far...
Our cross-Atlantic sisters in crime at Shiny Style are currently working the tents of New York Fashion Week to bring you all the gossip, videos and pictures from the event. And guess what? We're sat here on a Saturday night to bring it all to you too. Here's what you can see so far...
Observed from the front row by 'The Devil Wears Prada' starlet Anne Hathaway, Erin Fetherston stuck to her tried-and-tested formula - young, innocent and feminine - but added a touch of darkness with a muted, autumnal palette.
If you usually spend Fashion Week bemoaning the fact you're not there yourself, fear not. Chambord, the luxury French black raspberry liqueur, is offering one lucky Catwalk Queen reader a taste of the biggest event on the British fashion calendar.
Throughout London Fashion Week and London Fashion Weekend, visitors can indulge in the Spirit of London Fashion Week at the Chambord Bar, and if you want to join them, all you need to do is enter our fabulous competition. One lucky ...
Firstly, I apologise for forcing you to look at not one but four embarrassing photos of me. But it's all in the name of research, you see. The 'RevolutionEyes' application from In Eyewear allows you to 'virtually' try on a pair of sunglasses by uploading a photo and adjusting the size and rotation of the glasses to suit. Much better than trying to find a gap by the mirror in Topshop on a Saturday afternoon...

Last night, team CQ headed to the very glam final of My-Wardrobe.com's Fashion Incubator competition. We've got loads of video footage to come from the event, including interviews with the finalists and the judges (including The Clothes Show's Louise Redknapp).
Tea dresses are classic, stylish and flattering. They're not cutting edge, but the kind of girl who wears these is more likely to be a fan of seamed stockings and red lipstick than faddy trends and quirky shapes. How do I know? Because I'm talking about me! Because of its wearability, the style is all over the high street at the moment, meaning everyone can find the perfect frock. Here are three of my faves...

I must confess to secretly loving surfing through the Trinny & Susannah pages of the Littlewoods / Additions Direct websites. Say what you want about these women's 'break you down to build you up, then squeeze your boobs' technique, they always get the end results and make people look better. Not only are their body shape descriptions brilliantly offensive (brick, cello, skittle anyone?) but their shapewear actually works. However, I must confess to being a bit confused as to what ...
Louise Goldin's capsule collection for Topshop has just gone online, and I instantly found myself thinking how I'd wear the space-age knits. The £95 chevron striped dress with lilac and acid lime has me instantly imagining purple tights and matching shoes (keeping a block colour all the way down lengthens the legs - perfect with a mini dress). The tights are Pamela Mann from Discoo (£4), and the shoes a bargain at £20 from New Look. To ...
Push-up bras are great for giving a bit of lift, but the bigger your boobs are, the less that OTT padding works. This is something La Senza have cottoned on to, and they've sought to solve the problem with their Precision Fit bra. Basically, the amount of padding in the style depends on your cup size, so A cup ladies get super padding...
There as many puns I could make about star print clothing. Two of them are in the header, so I'll avoid any more, for my sanity as much as yours. Suffice to say, since Kate Moss rocked up at her haircare launch in a Jaegar blouse and later to her birthday party in a Chanel jumpsuit, star print has really taken off. Here are some high street picks for those on a budget...
