Do you have a special event coming up that you want to look you your absolute best for but can’t justify spending oodles of money on a designer original, that in reality, you will probably only wear once or twice?  Fashion lovers, listen up; what I am about to share with you will blow your minds. 

Rent the Runway is a brand new site that let’s you “rent” one item of clothing for 4 or 8 days for a fraction of the price of the original garment.  It’s sort of like Netflix, only for luxury dresses.  Rental fees range from $50 to $200.  You simply go online, select your dress of choice, select the your size (they also include a bonus second size for free just in case the first one doesn’t fit quite right.  Amazing right?!), select the day you want your dress to arrive and for how long, and when you’re done, just slip the dress back into the pre-paid garment bag (no cleaning necessary, they do it for you), and voilà, it’s that simple.  

Designers include: Alice + Olivia, Yigal Azrouël, Robert Rodriguez, Matthew Williamson, Giambattista Valli, Diane Von Furstenberg, Doo Ri, Christian Siriano, Proenza Schouler and many more!  This site is your answer for those special occasion needs, runway desires, and a little bit of fashion experimentation all swirled all into a perfect storm.  Founded by two friends, Jennifer Hyman and Jennifer Carter Fleiss who met while they were students at the Harvard Business School, this website is both business savvy and fashion genius!
