Condé Nast’s US ‘shopping and style’ magazine Lucky has launched an innovative iPhone application and a website at luckyatyourservice.com that lets shoppers easily locate local retailers who have items featured in the magazine in stock, beginning with the shoes featured in its March shoe edition.
Here’s how the website describes the service:
