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).

Chanel Coco Cocoon

Chanel recently launched Chanel Coco Cocoon (say that 10 times fast!), a line of puffy bags (handbags, travel bags, and small leather goods) with a campaign featuring singer Lily Allen in a "Breakfast at Tiffany's Theme". I'm loving the photographs in the ad campaign which you can download for your computer or iPhone as wallpapers.

This video gives you a good idea on what the bags are like. It's cool they are reversible, but I'm just not sure that I'm into them. Great styling for the video.

Feather Report: New iPhone App to Help You Get Dressed

Fashion + Weather = Feather

My friend Melisa of Feather Report and The Lil Bee has just launched the Feather Report iPhone app. Look to it as your own portable, personal style consultant. You'll never have to look out the window and wonder, "What am I gonna wear today?"

It's rainy today in SF and this is the outfit that was picked out for me. I love it! What's great is that each of the items listed in the outfit for today are linked so you can purchase them directly from your iPhone. If I like today's outfit, I can easily save it to my favorites with a press of a button. I love to get exposed to new pieces of clothing and how to put them all together.
Using a GPS weather tracker, Feather Report serves up a new outfit to your iPhone each day, based on your specific location. Outfits are categorized based on body types, occasions, and weather patterns. You can also search for outfits based on your individual needs such as Date Night, Out with the Girls, etc. If your traveling, get weather forecasts for your upcoming trips.

Twitter is the new Fashion Blog: Fav Fashion Tweets for the Day

It's all about Twitter during Fashion Week and I've found myself glued to my twitter app on my desktop and phone finding out what's the latest fashion scoop. Who has time to read a whole blog post? Who needs crisp photos? Give it to me the second it's on the runway! Yes, I'm that obsessed. So since I'm constantly online, I though I'd share some of my favorite tweets in the fashion world today. I'll try to do this daily for the next few days till Fashion Week ends. If the Paris folks keep it up, I'll keep it going.

New Vivienne Tam HP Clutch - Butterfly Lovers

With a love for fashion and technology, it just didn't get any better than Saturday night in NY when I attended the Vivienne Tam Spring 2010 fashion show and after party. More on those later today (with lots of photos I promise!). For now, please drool with me over the new Vivienne Tam HP digital Clutch. This new model (last year's is here) boasts a larger screen (11.6") and a thinner body. Perfect to tote around in your handbag, I say!

The laptop was front and center at the show, here with one of my favorite outfits, a sequined jacket paired over a mint green flowy shirt and skinny black pants. Leigh and I pretty much sat next to this outfit at the after party.

Vivienne working on the designs for her Butterfly Lovers inspired collection.

Here's the Vivienne Tam HP Clutch close up at the Vivienne Tam after party. I want one!

She reveals secrets she shares with her A-list clients at Dr. Perricone’s flagship Manhattan store-how to nip a hangover in the bud, choose the best dish on a date, dine out without packing on the pounds, rev up the sex drive, and more.

Ralph Lauren iPhone Application

Just launched is the new free Ralph Lauren iPhone Application! I'm loving that the fashion world is embracing the iPhone with all these great fashion applications. I had a chance to play around with it and I love the well-designed interface and array of runway videos (including Spring 09) and photos. There's also a great short film narrated by Ralph Lauren called "Portraits of a Collection" that shows his inspirations and how his Spring 2009 collection is put together. You can download application here from iTunes. (You'll need to have the iPhone 2.1 operating system software on your phone.)

The photo slide show is great because you can scroll through the crisp images and then tap to find out more info about each outfit.

See exclusive shots from backstage.

And of course store locator information.
