I don’t know how us mere mortals are supposed to keep up with everything going on – the shopping/fashion/beauty app explosion is not looking like it will be slowing down soon! While I have used quite a number of these new additions to the online world; svpply, fashion kaleidoscope, the fancy, fashism, lifestyle mirror and believe me there are more, one that has truly stood out for me is Lyst. A fashion aggregator that has one big factor that differentiates it from all the others – sale & stock information in real time.
You can follow other users, brands and designers and add items that stand out to you onto your “lyst”. All items have online stockists, price and availability listed beside them but as I mentioned, it can also alert you to when these items go on sale. And you then get a nice little email like this:
Currently I’ve been using it for ASOS items that I’ve loved, but as they seem to do heavy reductions sometimes I like to wait! It’s also good for those pie in the sky items that you would love to afford but probably can’t, unless a good sale comes along (there are soo many +$1,000 dresses on my feed!) . Most items will also have information about the sizes that are in stock as well, meaning you can do almost every bit of your shopping (bar the actual purchase) from right inside Lyst.
There are similar features to Pinterest (these accounts can be easily linked) which is that you can create your own “collections”
All in all it really is a fun, more shoppable version of Pinterest. If you’re easily tempted like me, you’re going to want to look at it with your credit card safely hidden away somewhere..!
What new online sites/apps have you been loving recently? Are you on Lyst – i’d love to follow you! You can find mine here
