With the eBay Fashion app browse eBay’s extensive selection of new, designer, brand-name and vintage apparel. The app also notifies users of exclusive, limited-time sales on clothing and accessories. Look through millions of items or refine search by size, brand, new or used, etc. All the items featured on eBay Fashion app can be found online at ebay.com, but instead of having to navigate through all the merchandise at their website, the app simplifies shopping for those true fashionistas. Looking for a specific color of dress to perfectly match a certain pair of shoes? Snap a photo of the shoes, and using the eBay Swatch Feature, find the right style of dress in the same color. All items can be uploaded to Facebook or Twitter to share a new purchase or to get pre-purchase fashion advice from a trusted friend.

Rumored to be Gwyneth Paltrow’s personal “obsession,” Remodelista is an inspiration haven. This app offers interior design help for every room in your house and for every mood. The app helps those who are unsure of their design style, creatively unmotivated or in search of modern DIY projects. The app not only aids in inspiring an interior remodeling project, but it also helps in locating the desired products for your dream room. Available daily through Remodelista, users can find content including inspiring architecture, stylish DIY projects, 10 Easy Pieces product roundups and Steal This Look.

Lookbook Browser consolidates the community fashion website lookbook.nu into one stylish little app. This app is simply a fun way to browse through new, trendy ensembles. The app doesn’t have many features at the moment, but keep your eye out because updates are on their way! And heed my warning, many users do find the app to be inconveniently slow. But if you have some spare time with your phone nearby, I recommend trying this app. It’s free, after all, so there’s nothing to lose. And, who knows what inspirational you may gain!
Happy shopping!
