Designer Dresses Delivered to Your Door for Every Occasion

As I flipped through magazines the other night (after watching some of the award shows on television earlier this year), I wished that I had an event for which I could get as dressed up - like the Golden Globes. The gowns were beautiful (as were the women who wore them) and I couldn't help but wish that there were an occasion where I could get SO dolled up for an evening.

Then "reality" began to sink in. Even if I did have a pending invitation to the Golden Globes, how was I going to afford a Carolina Herrera gown anyways? This got me thinking "what if...." Then, I came across the website "www.renttherunway.com" - this website is created for this exact situation (okay, maybe not for your Golden Globes appearance) but for any occasion where you need to be dressed up - whether it be a black-tie dinner party, a charity ball, a political fundraiser, or in my case, an event that you seek out just so you have an excuse to dress up.

At renttherunway.com, you can rent designer gowns for a number of days and then return them - no need to spend $15,000 on your dress (especially since you aren't likely to wear it again any time soon).

How it works:

To get the full scoop, check out www.renttherunway.com.

Here are a few details/perks:

-Select a date (a day or two before your event), the dress, the accessories, Spannx, EVERYTHING, and they will send it to you on your scheduled delivery date PLUS, they will send you a second size FOR FREE (you won't have to worry whether or not that perfect dress is going to actually fit you!). When you're finished, drop it in the mailbox to return and THAT'S IT. It's so easy! HOW PERFECT! I love that someone finally made designer duds available to those of us who don't want to spend half of our month's income (or much more) on a dress we're going to wear once!

-They offer OVER 95 designers for occasions ranging from weddings, black tie gala, date night, holidays, or night out (so you really don't need to be in search of a Golden Globes gown to benefit).

- Some of the brands they carry include: Alexis Bittar, Alice and Olivia, Ana Sui, Badgley Micshka, Cynthia Rowley, Diane Von Furstenburg, Escada, Helmut Lang, Herve Leger, Missoni, Narciso Rodriguez, Nina Richi, Rachel Roy, Robert Rodriguez, Shoshana, Tibi, Tracy Reese, Vera Wang, Z Spoke by Zac Posen (just to name a select few).

-The start at a size 0 and go to 12+ so they do have a pretty great collection for many shapes and sizes.

- You can rent designer jewelry, handbags, and shape wear as well!
