When it comes to putting together blog posts, or choosing the right images, it can be frustrating when you don’t have the right tools. But in the age of technology, where there’s an app for everything, it suddenly becomes very easy to get professional results.
We’ve rounded up some of our favourite apps, perfect for everyday fashion blogging.
AfterLight
This app is perfect for pictures. With a few taps you can change brightness, saturation, warmth and even sharpen the image to turn something that’s poorly lit into the perfect professional photo.
VSCOCam
I love this app for its filters and its ability to turn a regular smartphone into a DSLR. The image quality is always impressive and a go-to app for taking photos.
iDashboard
This is any fashion bloggers must have app for monitoring Google Analytics. You can keep tabs on everything that’s going on, but I must warn you, being able to check your traffic on the go can become highly addictive!
BlogLovin
BlogLovin is a must-use site for any fashion blogger, and their app is simply amazing. You can browse your favourite blogs, view your own posts and discover inspiration for the future.
WordPress
If your site is on WordPress then I definitely recommend installing their app. We simply love it. You can even write and publish a new post directly from your phone. They make it so easy to manage your site on the move with a whole range of features. It’s also ideal for making some quick changes when you haven’t got a computer handy.
Dropbox
This is blogging must for your photos. After suffering from phone breakages more times than I care to admit, I just don’t trust them anymore. All my photos go to my Dropbox so I know they’re safe and it also means I can access them from anywhere.
Facetune
This app is literally a lifesaver. There’s nothing more frustrating than taking a selfie that just doesn’t look right! With a few quick edits, this app will remove all your skin blemishes – simply amazing. It’s perfect for helping to keep that professional look in all your images.
Hootsuite
If you haven’t discovered the power of social media scheduling then I suggest you look into it. This app is amazing for setting up your Facebook and Twitter feeds in advance, but it’s also great at monitoring what’s going on.
Latergram
So Instagram doesn’t allow any auto-posting at all, but this app allows you to set everything up in advance, and then uses push notifications to remind you to hit send. How great is that?
Polyvore
This app is really a hidden gem. Have you ever wondered how fashion bloggers make those amazing magazine layouts on their blogs? Well it’s all through this app. You can create some amazing visuals that will add a little something to any fashion bloggers’ site.
Moldiv
Sometimes it’s necessary to create some image collages, whether for Facebook or the blog. So that’s why I love this app. It just does everything for you and it even includes some handy photo editing features too.
