The 10 Apps Every Fashion Girl Has on Her Phone
1/11It's that time of year again: New York Fashion Week. The shows might no longer be anchored at the beleaguered Lincoln Center — they're spread out all over the city now — but that doesn't mean that your favorite bloggers, editors, and buyers won't be keeping you up to date on all the latest fashion coming out of the proverbial "tents" with apps like Instagram.
But did you know that there are a bunch of other apps out there that let you instantly shop the collections you see and locate similar items in your budget? Some apps are even hosting special events in honor of NYFW. Turns out the iPhone — which has long been the unofficial archivist of fashion weeks around the world — is a fashionista's secret weapon to navigating the shows and scoring stylish, on-trend clothes in an instant. So whether you're attending NYFW or simply observing from your smartphone while sitting on the couch, click through to see which apps you need to download now.

Restaurants around New York City are participating, and will be featuring an exclusive prix fixe menu and other fun surprises.

After a long day of admiring the runways, you'll be grateful to have this app at your disposal.
