Daily Life and Weatherzone partner up to put fashion + weather together with new iPhone app
Daily Life, in partnership with Weatherzone, has developed an iPhone app, called Daily Weather, that solves a common dilemma - what's the weather going to be like and what should I wear?Daily Weather is an innovation in weather apps with a focus on lifestyle and fashion.
Daily Weather provides the user with the temperature at any given moment in their current location and around 20,000 others (just in case you're packing a suitcase) and offers fashion suggestions to suit the weather.
Not only does Daily Weather provide users with a suggested look for the day, but thanks to ShopStyle, they can also have a matching product selection customised to the current weather conditions for their location.

Ninety per cent of the Fairfax Media's female
smartphone audience use their smart phones to check the weather and 70
per cent use it to research products of which over three-quarters (78
per cent) research retail products including clothes, jewellery and
accessories etc (Fairfax Metro Media Mobile Study, August 2012).
Daily Life editor Sarah Oakes said it made sense to combine the two in a fun, engaging app.
Says Oakes: "The Daily Weather app is an exciting new way for the Daily Life brand to reach its audience throughout the day. Like the website we've concentrated on creating something that combines modern, clean design with an excellent user experience.
"We believe it's the first app to combine weather with a retail application, making it a unique and convenient app we hope becomes an essential download for every woman's iPhone."
Says Laura Yeomans, ShopStyle.com.au country director: "ShopStylecom.au is very proud to be a part of the new Daily Life Weather App - Daily Weather, our latest collaboration with Fairfax. I believe this is yet another example of how Fairfax and ShopStyle have combined their technologies and expertise into adding real value (alongside light entertainment) to Australian consumers in both a useful, engaging and inspiring manner.
"The weather is something we can't control but what we can do is make sure we look and feel fabulous regardless of whether the sun is shining or there's a torrential downpour. This feeling can be obtained by wearing weather appropriate clothing which is exactly what this app helps you to do. A weather reporter/personal stylist in the palm of your hands, now that's putting your smartphone to good use!"
