We're half way through, but still looking for reviews for the rest of fashion week. Send in your links!

If you've seen a review of a show from Sunday-Tuesday that deserves a link, let us know in the comments or via the yoghurt-pots-on-string.

If you've reviewed a show from Saturday onwards and would like to put it foward for the next 'best reviews' section, leave us a comment or drop us a line.

Well, Friday rocked. In case you haven't been watching, we hosted a film screening and presentation in conjunction with Laura Lees for her A/W09 collection.

Soho House was the perfect venue, with a really cool screening room for the short films and incredibly good-looking/helpful staff (not shown - I was far too shy to ask for a pic!).

We met some magnificent people, hello again to you all - but particularly to Samantha who won the competition for VIP tickets. It was lovely to meet you!

If we didn't get chance to shake your hand on Friday, we are sorry and promise to make amends next time (Mal and I were the ones hanging around the general vicinity of the Mac that showed our SS09 sneak preview). Lynsey couldn't be there and we missed her lots. Lyns: we'll party twice as hard next time to compensate.

Laura's collection is more than a bit special and I'm hoping I'll be able to manage to get the vast majority into my autumn wardrobe. Here's a sneak peek:

A million thank-yous to Laura and her team for joining forces and to Sarah and especially Alyn for making it all come together so smoothly.

Thanks also to everyone who dropped by! We hope you all enjoyed the night as much as we did and that the rest of fashion week is treating you well.

The bags are packed (after careful attention to Annmarie's advice), the schedule's printed and we're off to London for Friday's fashion week shenanigans.

It's not too late to throw your hat into the ring for a chance to join us at the Laura Lees presentation, otherwise maybe we'll see you in the tents.

Catwalk Genius has teamed up with fashion designer Laura Lees for a short film screening and drinks reception at London Fashion Week.  We have 2 VIP all access tickets to give away to one lucky reader.

You must be available this Friday 20th February 2009 and be able to get to London W1.  The event will take place from 3pm to 9pm.

To be in with a chance of winning simply drop us a line to talktous@catwalkgenius.com with your name, age, daytime contact number and where you’re from.  Please note you must be over 18 to enter this competition.

Closing date is Thursday 19th February at 1pm.

Best of luck!

We're running a Top Friends prize draw over on MySpace. Here's the deal:

1. Add us to your Top Friends.

2. Tell us by Fri 6th March.

3. Wait to hear if you're the lucky winner of this Sony Walkman Digital Media player, or a bundle of free shares.

Read the full details here.

P.S. If you're now tweeting with Jonathan Ross, you can also follow one of us. But there are no prizes to be had there just now and you'd have to put up with an awful lot of nonsense.

We were delighted to read Angela's post about this lovely project that brings together Giles Deacon and Smythson.

I'm a stationery geek at the best of times, but these gorgeous, hand-engraved illustrated cards and tissue-lined envelopes have me quite giddy.

They're not exactly cheap, but they are limited edition - and what a great way to write those fashion week thank you notes. Is it wrong to post them to yourself? Whatever, I'm doing it.

Ah - my favourite time of the month!

Annmarie of Iblog once again generously sorted us Irish fashion bloggers out with all kinds of loveliness, this time in the tea rooms of U2's Clarence Hotel. If you're ever in Dublin, or indeed the northern hemisphere, go.

The food was veh, veh good. Look!

Obviously, Lyns and I were there for the conversation, not the pink champagne - but we weren't disappointed on either count. Our end of the table featured RTE Sarah, Bluebird Katie, Solo Mag Karina, Offshoot Cat & Lil and Dub Streets Andrea & Matt.

We didn't get to meet the glamorous folks at the other end of the table before the Clarence politely asked us to free up the space for paying (but less well dressed, we can only assume) guests. Next time, folks.

Finally, Clarins showed the love with some generously stocked goody-bags. It's a given that Clarins is stupendous - I need no encouragement to encourage you to try it. 

However, I'm particularly awed by the Instant Gloss. By some wizardry that's quite beyond me, this clear gloss turns your lips a lovely rosy shade that's nice and natural, yet individual to your own face-pillows. Mmmm.

Look what's arrived, just in time for that most tragicomic of all days, St Valentine's Day*:

Skimpie knickers and lingerie bag - £48

These beautiful lace knickers come with a free silk/satin lingerie bag, making a perfect pressie for your favourite lady-girl. If it's a pleasant evening you're looking for, buy flowers. But if it's a magnificent weekend, then these will do the trick.

Their designers, kathy & claire, are also offering a gorgeous range of skimpies that will keep the romance going for rather longer too:

*It's the 14th of February, gentlemen. But you knew that, right?

Sunshine's just around the corner, I'm sure of it.

Last week we held our Spring/Summer 09 photoshoot and we can't wait to unveil some of the gorgeousness that's in store for you as 2009 warms itself up a bit.

Watch this space...

It's lovely to have some good news on this miserable, snow-clogged Monday.

When the news broke that Amanda Wakeley had fallen victim to a corporate takeover, an oddly prescient (or very well-informed) Lynsey predicted that we hadn't seen the last of her.

Not even 2 months later, she's back. For good, we hope.

Most museums, I can take or leave. Don't blame me, blame my attention-deficient generation. And MTV.

However, this one's definitely worth the trip - and especially between now and 17th of May:

An exhibit of works by the award-winning fashion designer Hussein Chalayan from 1994-2009 is on at London's Design Museum.

It's purpose is to look at the creative approach of a man who brought us portable architecture, a dress made of aircraft materials and another made of Swarovski crystals and 15,000 flickering LED lights.

It's the most compresensive presentation of Chalayan's past fifteen years of experimental projects and will include his past and present collections.

It should appeal to anyone who loves fashion, technology, innovation or art. Basically, anyone with eyes and brain.

And I dare you to leave without once contemplating the phrase 'frickin' laser beams'.

So t'interweb really loves our latest addition, Tour de Force.

Shall we find out why, lovely readers? Then let's begin..

First, there's this:

Pleated Flower Headpiece, £89

..and then of course the nice discount on this:

Butterfly Crown, was £89, now £69.

..and it's also can't harm that the designer, Camille Roman, is fresh from creating some of the magic at Johnny Loves Rosie, with a CV that also lists Lanvin, Zac Posen and Lulu Guinness.

So there you go - visit Tour de Force's shop to make a stylish statement with a simple outfit, or when you want to be the most fashion-forward guest over 2009's wedding season.

1. Take 12 splendid designers:

2. Ask them to provide an image inspired by Light.

3. Using some sort of magic, refract said images through a Swarovski crystal and allow people to meddle with them with a mouse hover.

4. Run an automatic spooky music track on the page that will eventually convince viewers to check that poltergeists aren't coming out of the television.

Et voila! SHOWStudio's 12 days of Christmas. It finished on the 6th, so all 12 are there for you to go and fiddle with now.

Well, would you look at that? It only went and turned 2009, while I was distracted by a particularly succulent mince pie. Hope yours was a lovely festive period.

In some parts of the internet, January is known for its sales. So if you're looking for a bargain, we wouldn't like to disappoint.

Here are some of the juicy discounts you'll find in our Sample Sale:
