The fabulous Domestic Sluttery book is about to hit bookshelves!

I contributed a few bits and bobs to this amazing lifestyle guide, the brainchild of the inimitable Sian Meades.

From me you’ll find some predictable fashion and body confidence stuff, my ultimate party hosting guide and even a recipe for my absolutely favourite food in the world – paella.

But what’s more exciting than the bits I did are the bits I didn’t do. From an amazing vintage fashion guide to recipes that made me go OMG when I saw the pictures, there is so much in this book to make you smile.

And it’s less than a tenner on Amazon. Buy buy buy!

I’ve joined Aigua Media as Editor-in-Chief.

I’d like to say thanks to all of Aigua, especially the lovely ladies on the in-house fashion and beauty team, who have been so incredibly welcoming and lovely.

Of course, that’s probably because a lot of them know me from days of yore. Aigua is the company that bought the fashion and beauty sites from Shiny Media when it went into administration, so they own almost all the titles I launched / edited / contributed to during my time working in a similar role at Shiny. A lot of the staff are people I’ve worked with before, which makes being the ‘new girl’ a lot easier.

I don’t think it’s a big secret that, despite being given some wonderful opportunities since moving on, deep down my heart will always lie with Catwalk Queen. I have really loved the time I’ve spent away from the sites doing other things and I’ve worked with some amazing people. But having the chance to go back to that site and work on it again – and to be given the resources to hopefully do some amazing things with it in the coming months – was just too good an opportunity to turn down. I’ll be working across all the Aigua sites, but for obvious reasons Catwalk Queen will be a priority for me. I’m older and (I hope) a bit wiser now, and feel like this is an amazing opportunity to learn from the past and really take these sites to the next level.

I’ll still be updating Big Girls Browse, but how often remains to be seen. I love having my own little space where I can write what I want without having to consider the bottom line, so I don’t want to give that up. But obviously work comes first. I’m hoping that being immersed in the world of fashion again will give me more stuff to talk about on BGB, but I also remember from last time I worked on sites like CQ and Kiss and Makeup that it’s definitely not a 9 to 5, and I may face blogger burnout!

I’ll still be tweeting as @GemmaCartwright but you’ll also find me covering events and chatting fashion with the rest of the team @CatwalkQueen.

As a side note, moving on sadly meant leaving the fabulous Latest in Beauty. I want to say a huge thank you to Nort, Katie and the team for being absolutely fantastic and a joy to work with. I’ve rarely experienced such a positive, supportive environment, and will always look back on my time there with real affection. I know the site is going to go from strength to strength and I will continue to sing its praises to everyone I meet in the beauty industry.
