Coleen McLoughlin's the Style Queen

Friday, 9 May 2008

A brand new series of children's fiction books have been released - endorsed and inspired by tween style icon Coleen McLoughlin.

In each story of this six-book series, a fictional lead character called Coleen Style Queen faces a new fashion challenge, as well as dealing with the daily dilemma's of tween life – family and school, relationships with friends, rivals and boys.

Each of the stories includes a section on affordable, up-to date fashion tips and making your own accessories, like how to customise a plain t-shirt into the perfect party top or how to create a 'best mates mirror' for your bedroom.

The series launched on 5th May 2008 with two books, Passion for Fashion and Dress to Impress.

In Passion for Fashion Coleen's school term gets off to the perfect start when her drama class decide to stage a charity catwalk show.

But can Coleen and her self-made style steal the show?

The dramas continue in Dress to Impress where Coleen's best mate Lucy has a date but she's too nervous to go! Can Coleen turn her from drab to fab? And get Lucy's brother the boy of her dreams, to notice her?

Coleen says: "I've always loved having fun with fashion, from dressing up in my mum's high heels as a little girl to wearing a glam evening gown for a red carpet event.

"And this gorgeous new series is all about a girl called Coleen, who is very like me.

"She loves spending time with her friends and family, and helping them out style wise – which doesn't always go to plan!

"I hope you enjoy the stories!"
