Just a Touch

If Ihaven't disclosed this before here, I LOVE technology. I'm always wanting the latest gadget and am excited when something new comes out. Of course, I had to get an iPhone ASAP and since I've had it, we have been inseparable. I, actually, left it at home once and felt completely lost throughout the whole day. I check my email, surf the web, update my calendar, check the weather, seriously, this phone does everything.

My husband, who also has an iPhone, got me hooked on the iTunes App Store. I have quite a few pages on my phone loaded with handy apps. One of my favorites is Touch Closet by Bay Dynamics, Inc.

The application allows you to upload/take photos of items in your wardrobe and then categorize them by type of clothing/shoes/acc. You can also add color/brand/date info. While it takes a while to take pictures, I've started doing this everytime I've gone shopping or when I'm doing laundry and the clothes are already out. So far it has come in very handy when I'm shopping and trying to figure out if I have an item that coordinates with an item I want. You can also create outfits for future use. Plus, it has a feature to shop select retailers or add their clothing to your closet, too.

I love being able to access my closet even when I'm far from home, and the best part is the ability to log on to the TC website online and check out your wardrobe from there.

I have tried out other apps like this, and this is by far my fave. I cannot recommend this app enough, just because of how fun and functional it is, and best of all it's free!

Brains in my head... and feet in my shoes.

Button Down shirt dress: Target- Mossimo; Tights: Betsey Johnson; Shoes: Isaac Mizrahi for Target; Bracelets: Express; Belt: Bitten by SJP (the only item I got to purchase before S&B closed down) :(

It has been a very busy week for me, and unfortunately, most of my outfits this week have been thrown together with very little thought, but today I had to look especially presentable. It's still a bit cool in the mornings, so I figured I would break out a pair of tights today and don a shirt dress. This dress is super comfy and gives me the professional look I need. Of course, a pair of bright shoes always makes my day better. These are by Isaac Mizrahi for Target and have a really cute button detail on the front. I think they look a lot more expensive than what they were. Well since it's already Thursday, I am looking forward to the weekend!

Oh yes, today I was in the mood to try cooking a new meal, and I found a great recipe thanks to this new app that I downloaded to my iPhone. It's called Dinner Spinner by one of my favorite websites, allrecipe.com . I chose what type of meal I wanted, the main ingredient, and the time I had to make it. I got a list of recipes directly on my iphone and after skimming thru them I settled on this recipe for Quick Chicken Divan. I made a few adjustments, like adding frozen peas and a dash of cayenne pepper, and it was delicious! Click here if you'd like to try making this quick, easy and tasty meal for yourself.
