Having our offices located in the heart of SoHo is a blessing and a curse: Pretty much all of our favorite stores are walking distance away, which means any given "lunch break" can easily result in wild spending spree and way too much time spent away from our desks. Lucky for us, the latest trend for the fashion-obsessed doesn't require us ever leaving the office... or even standing up, for that matter.
Enter the new breed of fashion apps, the latest in scouring inspirations from the latest It street style stars, finding the most coveted in vintage threads, and even finding new ways to wear pieces you already own. Below check out our picks for It Style Apps, but be warned, your hours of procrastination will likely increase dramatically.
