Love. Wear. Return.

Though this is a bit different from most of my other posts, I just want to make sure that everyone knows about this awesome site! http://www.renttherunway.com/redir/all/whatsnew is a site that allows you to rent the latest and greatest high-end designer clothing and then return it when you are done! They will even let you order a back-up size for free in case the size you order is not right! For $5.00 extra, you can insure the dress so that if anything happens to it, (a drink gets spilled on you, you fall and rip it, beading falls off, etc. ) no big deal just sent it back. When you are done with the items that you are renting all you have to do is put them in the pre-paid shipping box and drop it off at the post office. What about dry-cleaning??....They do that for you! Below are a few of my top picks.

This dress called Sands of Mars by Lela Rose retails for $1,395. On Rent The Runway, you can rent it for your special event for $150 for four days. 
This chic Aubergine Banded Dress by Black Halo is great for any occasion. It can be paired with other basic black items, or dressed up with fun colorful heals and jewelry that will be sure to make you stand out. This dress retails for $354, but can be rented for $50 on Rent The Runway.
This fabulous Sequin Inserts Mini Dress by Robert Rodriguez Black Label is great because it does not need much in the way of accessories! Pair it with a great black heel, and a gold earring and you are done! Retail price on this dress is $595, but the rental price is only $75!
