For all you iPhone and iPad lovers, fashion magazines and all other things fashion are becoming more easily accessible! iPhones and iPads are beginning to offer apps so you can keep up with the latest in fashion right at your fingertips.

One of my favorites is the “Vogue Stylist,” which comes out with new trends for each month. It is very to the point, making it super easy to see what’s in style at every moment.

It gives you the option to “get the look,” which brings you to outfit options that are trend-friendly. You can also read a short blurb that explains why Vogue fashion editors are loving these trends.

“Vogue Wish List” is another app offered by Vogue that allows you to add items to your own wish list and keeps them all in one place.

Elle Magazine gives you free access to certain articles with their app, and allows you to share fashion finds with friends.

Harper’s Bazaar has a digital version of their magazine that you can download directly onto your phone or tablet. Installing it is free, but you do have to pay to receive the issues.

Net-A-Porter Magazine, at no cost, provides you with a weekly update of all things fashion. Rue La La, another shopping website, has an app making it easier to shop on the technology of your choice.

ShopStyle will let you find trends by designer or retail shop. It gives you advice on certain items, and suggests shops where you can find exactly what you’re looking for. It will even notify you of any upcoming sales to make sure you’re in the loop and don’t miss an opportunity to save!

These apps make it easier to access your favorite magazines and online stores. Don’t worry about lugging around those thick issues, by downloading them on your iPhone or iPad, you can have them at your fingertips. And why not? They are almost all free!
