"Nice collage Isabelle" I hear you say. Why yes, yes it is thank you. It is in fact some of the "best bits" from our What's In Your Wardrobe feature which saw esteemed bloggers (including myself and Gemma) opening up our wardrobe doors to talk organisation tips, hoarding and shoes.
Now we want YOU to send us your wardrobe images, if you're interested in participating what we need is a collection of photos no larger than 480 pixels width if possible, with a few lines about each image. Send them over to isabelle@shinymedia.com marked 'Wardrobe' and we'll get them onto the site.
See after the jump for links to the past Wardrobe features and spend Christmas cataloguing your clothes for CQ!

After six years under scrutiny, Roberto Cavalli has officially been cleared of tax evasion.
The designer had charges against him dropped after the Italy's Supreme Court of Cassation squashed the conviction of tax fraud.
In March 2006, Cavalli was found guilty and sentenced to 14 months in prison, although a legal loophole meant that he never had to serve time.
"I'm very pleased," Cavalli said afterwards. "As anyone who has lived in Italy long enough knows, it sadly happens often that people in the limelight are attacked for personal reasons and falsely accused and things are only checked at a later date."

From our U.S. blog, ShinyStyle...
The ole' internet is buzzing today with reports that an American Vogue documentary, filmed last year, is Sundance-bound.
The doco, directed by R.J. Cutler, follows the preparations for the magazine's spring 2007 issue, and has a decent shot at making it to Sundance Film Festival, according to insiders.
Little else is known about the film, except that it is produced by A&E Indie Films, and has the full cooperation of Anna Wintour and her staff.
Does that mean Wintour on the big screen?
A spokesperson for Cutler could not confirm the news, but even so... how freakin' exciting. We're with NY Mag on this one - we want our Twilight-inspired fan T-shirts, stat!
Lace dresses, mostly thanks to designers like Balmain, Chanel and Prada and celeb fans like Natalie Portman, Selma Blair, Thandie Newton and Peaches Geldof, are everywhere at the moment...so obviously I was bound to include a few in the 100 Party Dresses feature. Here are today's top frocks, all for under fifty squids...
