When I’m not busy instagramming photos of my cats, I’m generally using one of these fashion apps on my phone. In love with a dress but want to make sure you’re getting the best deal? I’ve got an app for that. Want help deciding what to wear based on the weather outside? There’s an app for that too. Happy downloading!

If you happen to be a purveyor of great records and threads, you’ll find yourself in a shopping mecca.

I headed over the border and this is what I discovered.
