Coquette

Coach Gift Finder iPhone App

Ever since I went to NY in September during Fashion Week as a special guest of Coach, my mother-in-law in France has been more curious about the brand and of course, the handbags. For Christmas, I was hoping to give her a new updated bag but haven't had time to figure out which one.
Enter in the new free Coach Gift Finder iPhone App! Just select who the gift is for, how much you are willing to spend, and a favorite color. Then the little iPhone app works it's magic and boom! You get a side-scrolling list of options of bags and accessories. Just click on each individual item you are interested in and you can locate a store for purchase or email yourself or a friend a link to it. It's the easiest way to browse and shop! Do this when you are waiting for the train or in a waiting in line. It's fun to see all the options that come up.

My mother-in-law loves brown so I found some great choices. I can't say exactly which one because sometimes she reads Coquette so I can't ruin the surprise. But seriously, try this out for anyone on your list -- even the men. There's some great picks!

You can also tell a friend about the app via email or Facebook and find a store near you (love that it uses the GPS in my iPhone).
