fancied

On one of my many pilgrimages to the app store on my iPhone I happened across an app called 'Fancy'.

This self styled 'part store, blog, magazine and wishlist' is now one of my favourite pastimes when I want to be inspired by some cool new product, concept design or zany piece of urban art, which undoubtedly I can't afford. Thankfully looking and lusting is free.

Fancy is also yet another kind of social media experience now on the market as it allows its users to upload pictures and links to things they find and even gives you the option to follow a particular user should you find their contributions to your tastes. On top of this retailers are even starting to use this to their advantage and giving store (online mostly but possibly offline as well) promotions when someone 'fancies' one of their products.



Personally I find the app much easier and enjoyable to use than the webpage but its still definitely worth a look if you don't have an iPhone. My 'catalogue' of fancies is here if you would like a taster, but also see below for a few of my recent favourites:

Cat Sofa Installation by Felis Domesticus


Fruit Popsicles by Food Photographer Matthew Klein

Boxing Deer Bucks Silk Screened Cotton Pillow from Etsy

Enjoy!!
