As influencers we have seen an increase of apps that promise to monetize our content, hook us up with brands and even teach us how to ‘blog’. There seems to be an app for everything and 2017 has proved to be no exception. From Reward Style ( Like To Know It approved influencers) to Tribe, it is clear that there is no shortage of apps on the market to take your ‘blog to the next level’. But what if you want something a little more ‘light hearted’, with no pressure to have 100 K followers, where the only thing that matters is that you have fun? Introducing Mirror Mirror; Available on Google Play and Apple Store, this ‘social comparison app’ allows you to upload two looks side by side, thus creating a ‘mirror effect’. App users can vote on their ‘favourite look’ and help you choose on an outfit that best reflects your personal style. Whether you are trying to decide on the perfect date night ‘outfit’, beachwear look or a gown to take to a formal dance, Mirror Mirror’s fun social premise helps you connect with other users alongside refining your own personal style.
I like to think of ‘Mirror Mirror’ as a less pressurizing version of Instagram. As much as I adore Instagram it can make me anxious waiting for likes to pour in and wondering when I will eventually hit the 10 K threshold (only 4,400 to go LOL). Unlike Instagram, MirrorMirror is not about how many likes you ‘get’ but how users can help you choose the perfect outfit by voting. The premise is simple, once creating an account, the app comes up with a list of 10 suggested accounts to follow (but you can skip this part) , which takes you straight to the app homepage. Once you have familiarized yourself with how to use MirrorMirror, you can either upload two photos from your gallery or send direct photos from your camera. You have the option to write a description and have the ability to use hashtags, with the most popular being #fashionblogger #style #fashion #style which like other social sharing platforms allows you to track the popularity of hashtags and help you find other users in your hashtag category.
It is important that you use hashtags because it increases the visibility of your photo, enabling other users to vote on your content. After you have uploaded your content feel free to vote on other users content, who in turn will most likely return the favour. After all, good app users know that the most important premise of a social interaction platform is not the likes you receive but the engagement ratio. Like I said though, there is no need to treat MirrorMirror like another ‘Instagram’ so don’t worry if you receive low interaction at first, as this is perfectly normal. Remember to tag users or brands in your photos as well as sharing on social media platforms to make full use of the platform.
Now here is a dilemma that I have for you, those of you who have followed me on my blogging journey so far might know that I have often been unlucky in love and have struggled to get past the second date club after splitting with my ex. This meant that I rarely had to deal with the dilemma of ‘dressing for a second date’ and even in past relationships, proper dates were never really part of the plan, that was until recently. It is still early days but I actually met someone who seems to like me back in return and we have our next date coming up this week, where he will be cooking me dinner. Now being the ‘always over-dressed for every occasion person’ that I am I want to make sure that I don’t turn up in some fancy ballgown like I would if we were going out to a restaurant. Then again, I don’t want to turn up in tracksuit bottoms either so what on earth do I wear? Dates always get me in the mood for shopping which brings me to my very long winded question- what kind of outfits/ trends should I buy (and from where) to wear to my next date at someones house? Granted I can use Mirror Mirror to help me decide which ‘date look’ is best but I actually want to find some clothes to buy first. There is nothing better than a shiny new purchase – even if your bank account is groaning- and I want your help to decide! Once you have helped me decide, I will upload the chosen looks on MirrorMirror and see what users think would be the best ‘next date night’ look, before sharing the results with you next week. Is it weird that I am practically skipping, I haven’t felt this excited since Cadbury Peanut Butter Oreo chocolate bars were a thing!

Ooo Mirror Mirror sounds intriguing but we’re not so sure we’d like people voting on looks and putting ourselves out there to pass judgement. We probably would use it like we use Instagram – for inspiration x
I love the sound of the mirror mirror app it sounds better than instagram which we are all obsessed with getting likes and as many followers as unhealthily possible.
This sounds a really interesting app – I haven’t heard of it. You will look simply stunning whatever you wear! Kaz x
Mirror Mirror sounds awesome. I like the outfit you’re wearing. Good luck on that second one, though I suspect you will be just fine. 🙂
I have not heard of it before but I can see it being a useful tool…….I often buy things on a whim and then don’t like them when I get home. Getting an honest opinion is great
Sounds like an interesting app!
Haven’t heard of the app but definitely sounds intriguing! Going to download it now and see what its all about!
I like the sound of this app! You are one of the most stylish people I know, so I am sure everyone will love what you wear 🙂
Not heard of the Mirror Mirror app before… But sounds like a pretty useful app!
Oh that could be helpful for my future fashion posts. I need to install it and look it through!
hope the dates goes well – I am sure you will find the perfect outfit x
Interesting, I haven’t heard of this one yet but maybe it will gain in popularity as more of us hear about it.
I love hearing about new tech – including new apps – I just wish my iPhone had more memory on it as I’ve downloaded so many. A date outfit? i always say go for something you’d feel really comfortable in without compromising on your wonderful style!
Ahhhh! I need to download this TODAY! It seems so helpful!
Mirror, Mirror sounds like a really interesting app, I like how it is about helping each other and trying to find the perfect outfit 🙂
I will do BOTH!! Im loving the outfit you’re wearing in this post. The more I read your blogs and get a feel of you’re personality, the more I believe you could be my blogger bestie lol. I need to go download this app ASAP!
That sounds interesting!
As for dressing for a second date i would say trousers and a shirt/blouse – relaxed but still dressy enough to look like youve made an effort 🙂
Sounds like an interesting app! Also have you seen Zara’s sister site, Bershka? Lots of lovely stuff there!
I’d never heard of this app but it sounds so much fun – and so much less stress than IG, I agree. It can get a bit mortifying if you have a photo with hardly any likes, it would be great to have a platform that was just about having fun!
I like the idea of comparing two different outfits. Sounds like a great app for fashionistas
Yay to a second date .. I’m so excited for you and hope it goes really well! You can tell an awful lot about a man depending upon what he cooks for you. Oh Ana, I feel so boring when it comes to my outfits. Jeans, tees, Converse tennis shoes with maybe a dress or two thrown in for good measure. Although I do think it would be fun to weigh in on everybody else! What a fun and cool app
What a fun and interesting app! I love exploring all the new ones so I’ll definitely be adding this one to the download list!
This sounds like a fun app if you need a bit of help!
I’ve seen this app advertised in some of my games. It’s like Instagram for fashion. I really see it taking off. I love the stripes – you pull that off well.
That sounds like a fun app. I’ll have to check it out, thank you.
I am TERRIBLE with fashion so I’m not help to you on what to wear. I’d just show up in jeans and a t-shirt.
I think we can end up taking things a bit too seriously at times, but this app sounds really fun!
The headband your wearing is gorgeous! I’ll have to check out the app!
Mirror Mirror sounds cool. I’ll suggest it to my fashion blogger friends to get more engagement amongst their readers.
This sounds like a great app. I’ll see if I can find it on App Store this eve. I’m always looking to make my pics more interesting.
This app sounds interesting and this would be very useful! Love the sunglasses, really cool!
This is a great outfit on you. I am in love with the sunglasses. I will have to check out Mirror Mirror.
How awesome! Def gonna check this app out! I’ve never heard of it before!

You look really stunning in that outfit. This is the first I have heard of Mirror Mirrior – I will be downloading it, it sounds like an app I would love to you.
Oh what an interesting sounding app- very of the moment. I don’t think I’d like the voting feature xxx
I am not really a fashion blogger so I kind of wish you had put two different looks of outfits here for me to look. I have so many apps on my phone I am afraid that someone is going to sign me up for apps anonymous. We shall see. Either way, I am sure you will look stunning. You always do. Just don’t do pants, and just don’t wear a ball gown. It’s cooking in so something nice but not like going out nice. I’d kind of have to see what you were choosing between to know.
I like the voting aspect of Mirror Mirror, it’s an interesting new element and seems like a different way to interact and actually express an opinion rather that just ‘like or don’t like’!
I had not heard of this app before stopping by Ana, sounds interesting. I must check it out, thanks 🙂 I adore your dress, it looks beautiful.
Haven’t heard of the application before until I head over your blog. Sounds interesting. Another app to try on.
Love this navy/red and white striped dress on you. I am already aware of Mirror/Mirror as they contacted me recently to sign up. I did’t so far but maybe I will now Ana. I guess i’m always suspicious about all these apps as I sometimes think they just want to extract money from me.
Oh congrats on the second date, if you’re going round for dinner maybe a midi skirt and a top? x
I don’t think MirrorMirror is something I’d normally go for, as I’m not a fashion blogger, but I’m tempted to download it and sign up just to help you find your second date outfit. I am chuffed that you met someone and send you all the good vibes in the world! x
I have never heard of this app before, it sounds interesting x
Mirror Mirror sounds like a really useful app! As for your date outfit, stay true to your style and be comfortable!
Never heard of the mirror mirror app, sounds interesting…but you always look fb regardless btw 🙂 x
Beautiful you will do very well. I love the clothes you wear. I am always in jeans and converse!! Never heard of mirror mirror, but I will check it out 😊 XX
Sounds like an interesting app! Also I know that wall!!! <3 Gotta love Shoreditch.
Oh, interesting idea for an app, I really like the approach! The wisdom of crowds and all that!
I’d not heard of this before but it is an interesting concept. I love that the users can vote to help you and it’s pretty cool!
Firstly, love the outfit as always! Secondly, I ahven’t heard of this app yet – sounds good – will check it out.
This app sounds like it is pretty cool. I will have to check it out.
Not heard of this app but looks interesting if you want help with your look!
This sounds like it could be lots of fun, especially for someone like me who is rubbish at making decisions.
This app sounds so much fun!Would only use it to get inspired by what others upload though I think. P.S. I hope your second date was amazing hun and that he is still that Prince Charming 🙂 Xx
I’ve never heard of this app before. It sounds like it could be very useful.
I was very interested in reading your opinion about Mirror Mirror app, they asked me to do a review but I haven’t check their app yet. Sounds quite interesting.
Oh wow. Interesting new app. I am not a fashion blogger, though but I know of a good friend who is one. I will share this article with her. I will try to browse around the app too and see if it would work with other niches. Thanks for letting me know about this.
Will definitely have a look at Mirror Mirror, fashion is my favourite aspect of Instagram so this sounds perfect.
This looks like such a great app for outfits, I love Instagram but this looks so much more useful for selecting outfits x
Sounds like an interesting app and concept. Also loveee your outfit, the colours are lovely!
So cool that you found someone, I hope he’s good to you. This app sounds pretty awesome, I like that it helps you choose which outfit to wear especially for important days like when you have a date.
Ooooh Mirror Mirror sounds like something I need to download! I have not tried an app like this before, but anything that can help me with decisions (even ones made by other people) is a great idea in my book!
Sounds intriguing but I wouldn’t want folks voting on what I’d wear. There are apps for just about everything but at my age I want to be in control of my wardrobe.
I forgot to add #MMBC
It would probably be perfect for me. I struggle when I shop as I am so indecisive and this would help me decide so much more easily. Not sure I’d be confident enough to share pictures of me though.
Great post & photo! Cool apps. Will try them out too! Thanks!
I think this app suits you since you got a lot of amazing looks to vote from. I just don’t think it is for everyone. Nevertheless, it seems like a cool app.
What an interesting app name. So catchy. Off to have a look.
I have not heard of this app before. I think it’s definitely something I would like, it’s nice to get others honest opinions on an outfit choice.
