carpet events and it's Christmas time. A time when going out and buying fancy clothes for

special occasions - isn't exactly in our budgets. Yet we need an evening gown, a couple of cocktail

dresses, and all the accessories that go with the outfits.

If you want to stay current with all of the fashions and don't have an extra four or five

thousand dollars laying around, here's a great website you should know about:

RentTheRunway.com They have a HUGE online display of latest

and trending designer collections from cocktail dresses, to evening gowns, coats, wraps, furs,

hats, purses, clutches, handbags, sunglasses, rings, bracelets, broaches, earrings, necklaces,

bridal accessories and more. It's super easy to rent all of your fashion

wear here. You simply create an account, then you select a delivery and return date.

You chose your size and the price range for your budget.

Then you go shopping to determine which dresses and accessories you need to pull together

a celebrity look. You can filter by color, length, trend, designer, and there are over

250 designers whose creations are available. Here's the bonus: with your rental fee, you

get a second size absolutely free just in case you've gained a few extra holiday pounds

you weren't counting on. Once you've checked out, they ship the order

to you. Now you have everything you need for that

amazing, right-off-the-cover of a magazine look.

When you're done, you mail everything back in the pre-paid UPS envelope and they handle

all the rest including dry cleaning. How easy is that?
