Rent the Runway: Designer Style on a Budget
We’ve all been there… searching for the perfect dress to attend a bridal shower, rehearsal dinner, wedding or engagement party… staring at a closet full of clothes with nothing to wear. Ugh. I’m getting anxious just thinking about it.
If only you could afford that fab designer dress you’ve been crazy over right? Well now you can – without breaking your bank in the process. Yep. It’s true! Rent the Runway allows you access to your dream wardrobe for all of life’s special occasions – at 90% off retail prices. Choose from over 95 designers most of which you couldn’t afford – until now.
Here’s how it works. Visit the site. Enter in your event date, size and zip code you’d like your item sent to. Then browse through the hundreds of amazing designer looks available until you find the perfect ensemble. They even have accessories! You can rent a second look for only $25 more and they’ll even throw in an additional size for free so you never have to worry about something not fitting. Awesome.

Then when it’s time return it just pop it in the mail with the prepaid shipping envelope provided with your purchase. Doesn’t get much easier than that.
Oh, and you don’t have to worry about accidental damages. For only $5 you can purchase insurance on your item so no matter what happens – spills, broken zippers, rips etc; you’re covered. Kiss your crazy closet moments goodbye. Now you can be confident you’ll have something amazing to wear and know it’s not going to cost a fortune. All you have to worry about is looking fabulous and having fun. Yay!
Happy weekend everyone!!

Wedzu: Online Handmade Marketplace
Happy Monday everyone! This weekend while catching up on a few of my favorite blogs I found a great new resource on Creature Comforts that I just couldn’t wait to share with you. It’s called Wedzu – an new online marketplace dedicated to indie and handmade wedding design. After reading the article I spent some time perusing the site which is full of hand crafted goods made by some pretty talented people. It’s run by Anne and Brett, two artists from Austin who are getting married in November. Love that.
Wedzu just launched so make sure to check back often as they are continuing to add new artists to their roster. I suggest you stop what you are doing and head over there now. Yup, really… it’s good.
