Today I received an email which informed me that I had been listed as one of TIME.com’s Best Blogs of 2011.
Thankfully I was sitting at the time, because I would’ve fainted.
I have been blogging for 4 years now and this along with my Vogue piece last year has to be my biggest highlight.
I honored that someone at TIME.com has even read my blog let alone listed it.
Without sounding like someone who’s accepting an Academy Award, I wanted to thank you for all your comments, tweets, inspiring and encouraging emails which I fully appreciate.
Your support has helped me achieve so much in a short space of time and I am eternally grateful.
You can read the article here.
Love ya FC x

A well-deserved victory. Congratulations!

Congratulations FC, you deserve it!
I´ve been following this blog for a while now, and have kept following it, you wanna know why? Because this is actually one of the few blogs (with lots of followers) that has the blogger still communicating with her followers! That´s what I love about this blog and your wit when describing looks/styles, makes me laugh at work everytime!
So keep it up lady and we´ll follow
Thanks…I’m glad you said that.
before i started my own blog I would write to bloggers and was also bugged that the writer would never respond.
You sooo deserve this my dear. Congratulations!!!

Congratulations FC, you thoroughly deserve it. You’re brilliant at what you do, I love reading your blog everyday!! keep up the good work
xx
I’ve been reading your blog for… awhile now, I think, and figured there’s no better post to leave my first comment on than this one! I’ve always loved the red carpet, but TIME.com put it best: plenty of websites try to put a name on a dress, but only yours does so quickly and consistently (and with tasteful writing, wit, and just enough gossip at that). Congratulations on a very well deserved honor!
Thank you for using your first comment to write something to nice and encouraging.
Its such an honor that so many people share my passion and enjoy what I do.
X
That’s amazing but I’m not surprised you’re wonderful!!
Well you certainly deserve it. It’s one of the best blogs out there.
You deserve it!
Congratulations!!! I love this blog! You really really deserved it!
congrats! so happy for you! =]
I scrolled quickly to the comment space but I am sure all the comments had the words congratulations or you deserve it in them, and I second them all
I have been reading your blog since last november, FC! Haven’t missed a single post since then 
and I sometimes wander the archives…Hell, U deserve it! xx
Here’s to achieving more and more every year!
live for ur blog..
Way to go!
Congrats FC!!! yup, like other have said, you totally deserve it!!!
*others
This is absolutely amazing! And extremely well deserved. Even if I don’t have time to check other blogs, I always read yours.
Congratulations FC!
Wishing all the success you deserve and more! x
Congratulations, and well deserved.
congratulations FC! i know this is your time to thank TIME and everything, but i’d like to let you know that i’m very thankful to you, and appreciate this blog so much – you add a dose of humour, glamour and fun to my day and you’ve really educated me about fashion.
keep up the hard work [:
Congratulations, FC!!! This is amazingly fantastic! You deserve every bit of praise – this blog is amazing & has really opened my eyes to the world of fashion. This has become a new hobby & I want to thank you for all of this! I love this site & really value your fashion knowledge & opinion.
Congrats, you deserve it. No-one else comes close to your excellent coverage and enthusiasm for the red carpet!
We are the ones who love you FC!! Congratulations, this is huge, and if someone deserves it it’s you! I’ve been checking your site religiously every day for a couple of years now and your work on the site is amazing, thank you.
Congratulations! I completely agree with them
since my very first visit to your blog, I have to visit it every single day. It’s really one of the best fashion blogs!
FC,
So well-deserved! Once I found your blog, I’ve never gone anywhere else for fashion photos. You are simply THE BEST!
This is very exciting and well deserved! Congratulations Cynthia!
Well that was awkward! Of course I meant Catherine. Please forgive me–I was entirely carried away by my excitement!
Lol.. Not to worry x
Congrats FC, you really deserve it! Your blog is second to none
love your work, keep it up!! x
Estoy muy contento por tu logro!!!
congratulations gorgeous girl xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Congratulations, I like your blog so much as Time people do
I’m not sure how I stumbled upon your blog last year but I have been a devoted reader ever since. While I love the coverage and fashion and have learned so much about who the designers are, what I love the most are your clever, witty and amusing posts. I often find myself chuckling at something you said. Congratulations, you deserve all the recognition and kudos you get!
Congrats! Thanks for making our day more fashionable. It must be very hard work and you deserve recognition!
MUCH DESERVED!!! Congrats!
So happy for u! Congrats and thoroughly deserved xx
CONGRATS!!! Def one of my favorite blogs & I’m a male
I’m not surprised one bit – all that talent and hardwork, of course Time would put you on ‘the best blogs’ list. As a long time reader it has been so fun to watch your rise to the top!!!
OMG congratulations!! this is awesome news, and I have to say the description has it dead on, I always hop onto your blog when I know a big event is coming up (eg last night) and I am stunned by how quickly and easily you seem to identify the designers, I usually feel pretty impressed at myself if I can spot even a couple (usually Elie saab:))
congrats FC you beyond deserve this. ive been coming to this site for the past three years.. i usually log onto here before my emails & fb. what would i do without RCFA?x
ABSOLUTELY TRUE!!! EVERY WORD IS THE TRUTH AND NEVER BEFORE HAS ACCLAIM BEEN SO DESERVED!!! CONGRATS!!! I shall follow you wherever you blog—your approach is refreshingly tasteful, your consistency is unquestionable and your sense of style is undeniable! You are fab!!!
Congratulations FC!!! This is an excellent blog, you deserve all the love you get.
Thoroughly deserved FC
this is my fave blog on the net and you have taught me so much about new and upcoming designers so thanks 
Love the news, late to the party, but CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
Those sleepless nights are paying off not just with our being slaves of your posts, but now others continue to notice
Gotta say what I like the most: I do like to know the important information, like who is wearing who, but since I am no expert (learning here a lot hehe), I could find some info elsewhere. But I would miss your wriing! That’s what I like the most besides the fashion. You choose some of the best looks, and your writing is spot on, and fun (sometimes funny )
Also, I respect that you speak your mind, and we can agree or not, but we readers have to respect that, because you are not ust writing to please, but to express yourself.
Tnx for your blog and your hard work. Tnx for keeping interacting. I can imagine how hard can it be to try o do it all. I am lazy even to read my own emails!
much deserved! this is hands-down one of the BEST fashion blogs I’ve found! And I’m so glad I did.
Congrats, love!
Congratulations! I’m happy for you the way I am for a good friend of mine. Excellent job!
How exciting for you, Catherine. In the almost 4 years I’ve been here, I not only am addicted to the blog, but I feel like I’m part of your big extended family. Congratulations and thank you, FC.
Congrats FC! Well deserved! Been reading your blog religiously for almost 3 years now!
Congratssss
I’ve been ur fan for like 3 years
I jus can’t get enough of ur amazing job <3
for me, you are certainly the best celebrity fashion blogger in the world \o/
her simple way to share w/ us ur thoughts are simply perfect
plus my English did get wayyy better reading her posts everyday LOL
Good on you : this is richly deserved recognition for an impressive and entertaining website.
Congratulations, u absolutely deserve it, x
The list was posted by my friend on her Facebook account. When i saw the name of your blog, I literally did an air high five! Hahaha!
I’ve been an avid reader for 2 years now. I even loved your defunct VB site.
Congratulations!!!
much love from the Philippines
I’ve been following you for all four years. You got me hooked with your V.B blog first. This is the only blog I follow. Congratulations, it is very well deserved.
Congratulations! I’ve been coming here for years and it’s by far the best fashion blog on the web.
Time Magazine’s review of your site is spot on! Fantastic site and may many more opportunities for success continue to come your way! Great job!
congrats to you!!!! RCFA is the best fashion blog ever
I am not at all surprised. In fact, it’s overdue. I have been reading your blog since late highschool/early college and I have found that if i want to know what any celebrity wore at ANY red carpet event, there is NO OTHER blog that comes even as close as you do to compiling crisp, up-to-date and timely images/info. I’ve recommended your blog countless times and i don’t hand out recommendations lightly.
Congratulations. You DESERVE this.
Keep it up,
Lily
Well done, you have earned it! Congratulations
Congratulations!!! That is such an amazing achievement, and I can think of no one who deserves it more that you do. Fantastic!
Congrats and SO well deserved. Your hard work and passion for your site, especially after 4 years, is such an inspiration.
I read your blog daily, it’s brilliant, and I love that you’re informative and opionated without just spewing vitriol like so many other style critique sites.
Congrats again!
Congrats FC, you deserve it:
I always start my day by reading your blog, i loooooove it

You must be thrilled that your hard work, passion and energy is paying off with such great kudos.
I’ve been a daily (at least!) visitor to your blog since January 2010 after a friend tipped me off about it. I honestly don’t know what I looked at online before I discovered it!!
Since that time it has entertained me, amused me, educated me and inspired me to dress better!
WELL DONE!

Congratulations! Well deserved. Very well deserved! You’re doing a fabolous job with this blog.
Congradulations, this is great news and well deserved. Your blog is very entertaining and a important part of my wind down everyday. I don’t know what I would do with out it. The thought of watching the news or even TV is depressing.
