6 Fashion Apps To Keep You Stylish, Save You Money

By Michel Fox

We never go anywhere with out our cellular devices. Between texting, chatting, emailing and tweeting – our trusted hand-helds are there for us always (for better or worse).  But did you know, fashionistas, that your phone can also satisfy your appetite for couture?

If you’re app-savvy, you probably already know the allure of these inexpensive (sometimes free!) applications that can help you do and find just about anything (while playing a game in the meantime, if you like). But what you may not know is that there are many applications to help satiate your style-savvy ways.

If You Want to Sit Front Row at Fashion Week:
Style.com’s application (free) lets you view all the world’s fashion shows with a front row seat, no matter where you are! Just hours after each show concludes, this application updates pictures and video from any couture or ready-to-wear collection you desire! Click here to download.

If You Wish You Had a Stylish Roommate to Run That Outfit By:
No matter how style-savvy we may be, sometimes we need a second opinion. For those of us without roommates, though, help figuring out what to wear is not always readily available (and doormen do not trusty fashion advisors make). Now, though, our friends can weigh in on what we consider with Love It or Lose it ($0.99), an application that allows you to upload a picture and send it to your friends who can then tell you if that skirt’s too short of that color just isn’t right for you before you walk out the door.  Click here to download.

If You’re a Bargain-Hunter at Heart:
To save time and money, Checkout Smartshop ($4.99) allows you to double check that a better deal can’t be found elsewhere. Just scan the barcode on those sensational strappy stilettos you’ve been eyeing to compare prices (and even read reviews) before you splurge. Click here to download.

If You Barely Passed Algebra:
For those of you who don’t have the strongest math skills, the On Sale application ($0.99) will help. Enter the price of the item, the percentage off and the tax rate to see how valuable that sale rack really is. Click here to download.
