Blige, Olivia Munn and Jessica Chastain all came to support. “He designs clothes for real women. They go so easily from day to evening, from real life to the red carpet. And this dress has pockets. I love pockets!” gushed Chastain pre-show.

findSimilar 'Steals the Styles' at New York Fashion Week

New York fashion week went by like a whirlwind and there were some serious cases of style envy! When events go by so quickly, it can be difficult to take in everything you see and remember it. There were so many trends that we loved and will love to wear! Some of our favourites included A line skirts and yellow.

What was refreshing this fashion week was the way the colours are worn. We’ve seen pastels and yellows before but the NY catwalks styled them with monochrome patterns. In particular is this yellow skirt worn with a black and white jumper. Because it can be so hard to go home and search for the items to recreate the look, we simply just snapped the outfit and findSimilar showed us how we could shop the look straight from the catwalk!

Whilst designers are now offering the option to shop from their catwalks, and Twitter introduces their ‘buy now’ button for Burberry’s tweets, we don’t all have Carrie Bradshaw’s credit card! So findSimilar shows you lots of similar results, which allows you to choose the ones that suit you and your bank account!

Of course it’s not just the looks on the catwalk that we want, but the outfits of the fashionistas who are attending! You take a photo of your favourite street styles, but if you use findSimilar, it’ll show you how you can buy that outfit. Perfect.

Here are some of the looks that we wanted to shop straight after we attended New York Fashion Week…

We shopped the trends from the Giulietta show using the Style Thief app - pastel perfection!

We 'Stole the Style' of US blogger by snapping her outfit and using findSimilar - we found her exact dress, the cloud printed design is available from Choies.

Although this Giulietta catwalk piece won't hit the high street for a few more months, we uploaded our fashion show pics to the findSimilar plugin and can shop the tailored pink looks from various hughstreet outlets!

Began Gary Pepper she described her style as being heavily influenced by vintage, but this has evolved over time. She described her current style as follow during an interview: “It is pretty, preppy and elegant. I like to mix my vintage wardrobe with designer pieces to create an interesting and unique aesthetic. I love playing with different lengths, colors and textures but I don't like to overcomplicate things. My style mantra? Less is always more”.

Gary Pepper has built a loyal following and currently boasts an impressive 131,000

Facebook fans and 672,000 Instagram followers, but it is the degree to which her fans engage with the blog that she is most proud of.

After all, the industry is just too small to have worked with everyone within a few years.”
