Find Similar

Don’t you just hate it when you find an outfit you really like but can’t find where it is from?

Technology has a big impact now days and it’s having a big impact in the fashion world!  I was recently told about a company called Cortexica who have created a software called *FindSimilar. The software FindSimilar is an image recognition software this software  is sold to retailers and app builders.  So what does this mean to us? Well…

The FindSimilar software has recently launched with US app Style Thief (the software will be shortly coming to the UK!) and here is the exciting stuff, say you find an outfit you like from a magazine or see someone’s outfit you like in the street if you take a photo and upload it on the app it will  show these items or similar items to you and where you can buy them from!

 It gives a range of similar items based on things such as colour and shape (which no other image recognition software companies have been able to add the shape algorithm) and broadens the choices for you and gives you high street alternatives too. You’re then able to purchase straight away in a few clicks!

The Style Thief app is free and can be downloaded here. I gave this app a try (even though it’s US) and thanks to this it will save so much time searching! I prefer online shopping  and so this app was right up my street, anything made quick and simple I am there! By not having to search by word it helps get more accurate result.  Plus I love that I can find similar products and they don’t have the hefty price tag.   

Here is my search on Jourdan Dunn dressed in a green Ermanno  Scervino.

I can't wait until this is launched in the UK! All those Instagram photos of outfits I like will be used on this!

Hey big spender!

I had a nice big spend yesterday in Boots and New Look/Dorothy Perkins. I realised today after checking my Boots advantage card points that I have over £100 worth on there and now im annoyed at myself for not using it yesterday! Oh well I will use it another day, I have already been planning what I am going to buy with it O:).

New Look/Dorothy Perkins:

I bought 3 tops from New Look and at the moment they have sooo many nice items in! The first was a white aztec vest shirt and I discovered that I have a thing for white shirts at the moment lol! Had to stop myself from buying them all, its a bit odd as I usually wear dark colours..

 I also bought a burgandy vest shirt and you cant really see in the photo but it has holes in and it is SOFT which might of been what won me over ha!

From the label lounge I bought a boxy shirt which the photo colour is completely off its a really nice corally colour! Finally from Dorothy Perkins I bought my 3rd pair of the same black skinny jeans! I love Dorothy Perkins jeans because they fit me perfectly and come in tall! If I shop for jeans anywhere else they dont fit right.

Boots:

It was 3 for 2 which makes me buy, buy, buy!

Soap and Glory Sugar Crush scrub and Smoothie Star Body Milk:  Soap and Glory just smells amazing and it does make me want to eat it lol! 

Revlon Matte Balm

Real Techniques setting and blusher brush.

La Rochey Posay Effaclar which I CANT WAIT TO TRY! I have heard so many good things about this and have high hopes!

Soap and Glory Archery (Love the name) and Hocus Focus which is a highlighter and I cant wait to try it!

Max Factor False Lash effect mascara.

I will be sure to post on some of these products soon!
