Apps: Being fashionable this fall

Fashionable style these days is all about knowing how to mix what you have, adding trendy pieces occasionally and not breaking the bank while making your effortless street-style shine. To keep up that fashionable appearance while on a budget, peruse these mobile apps meant for savvy and stylish fall shoppers on the go.

Fashion Kaleidoscope
(iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, Android, free)

The Fashion Kaleidoscope smartphone and tablet app is your answer to the question: What in the world am I going to wear today? This seriously fashionable app is filled with style inspiration from actual people around the world. From hipsters in Portland to cafe girls in Paris, find the style you most admire and create a fall fashion statement that is all your own. Then, purchase your favorite pieces via in-app links. Finally, spread your newly minted style around the globe by sharing pictures.

Poshmark
(iPhone, iPod Touch, free)

Make your fashionable mark this fall for less with the Poshmark app. It's a savvy way to shop your social media friends' closets. It's basically a fashion eBay app just for your most stylish friends. Post gently used and still fashionable pieces for your friends to make offers on and maybe even take off your hands. You can also bid on their cool stuff that you have been eyeing for months! Investing a little more in shoes and handbags usually begets you a better selling price later so keep that in mind when shopping for new fall pieces. My shopping motto: How much can I resell it for in a year?

PINK Nation
(iPhone, iPod Touch, Android, free)

We all have our "I just want to wear sweats" moments. And there is one shopping task I look forward to more than anything in the fall: the annual new sweats and yoga pants order! With the free PINK Nation app you can easily shop for your new fall lounge apparel from the Victoria's Secret PINK line, which includes college and NFL apparel perfect for at-home tailgating on the couch. The crafty app is also filled with fun games and deals for new duds.

Topshop US
(iPhone, iPod Touch, free)

Looking to stock up on this season's trends for less-than-typical department store prices? The best place for trendy-but-still-quality fashion shopping these days is Topshop. If you don't have one of these lovely stores in your town yet, never fear: You can shop through your mobile device with the Topshop US app. You can view Topshop's blog feed and Tumblr account with this chic app, giving you more inspiration to build a one-of-kind fall wardrobe for the fraction of the price of a designer handbag. Think lace dresses, faux leather and printed pants for fall standout pieces.

Beautylish
(iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, free)

With the innovations in makeup and nail design these days, you can make a simple little black dress really pop like new by simply buying new eyeliner. Learn some tricks of the trade this fall with the Beautylish app.
