In an industry obsessed with beauty, there has never been a better cultural pairing than fashion and technology. From daily street style inspiration to the perfect beauty how-to guides, these 10 apps will make even a casual interest turn into a full-blown obsession. Load up your smartphone and start scrolling because the digital age is introducing you to new buys, new looks and new loves all in one convenient package.

VSCO Cam
No fashion guru's Instagram is ever complete without the perfected street style photo, and for all the editing photo apps out there, VSCO Cam is my favorite. With excellent filter collections, a feed of amazing user photographs to grab inspiration from and a direct upload into Instagram, it’s the perfect add-on for any daily photo lover.

Stylebook
All the Clueless lovers can rejoice because technology has finally spread to the masses, and Stylebook is here to deliver the best digital closet app available. To get started living the dream, photograph your closet and import it into the app to customize your outfits. You can then record it on your calendar to conveniently track your outfit history. With the bonus of creating magazine style layouts with your clothing, you can always screenshot your choices to upload to your blog or Instagram and share instantly.

Posy App
Posy is another great app that allows you to share your style and get instant feedback, especially for "outfit of the day" gurus who love to post daily. Using the Posy App, upload your photos, add a question and then release your query into the world of savvy fashionistas for quick, fashion-minded answers. You can also join in on the conversation by posting your own comment on other user's photos and sending feedback to your responses. This app is a great way to increase your influence as a stylist and build those much-needed relationships in the fashion industry, while also making friends along the way.

Users can also share outfits by uploading their own photos and have the opportunity to become the next LOOKBOOK favorite.

WWD: Women’s Wear Daily

While Vogue may hold the most esteemed publication position in people's hearts, it still can't compete with the industry's ever-present obsession with Women’s Wear Daily, and for good reason.
