Lendperk - Netflix for Dresses - Review and Giveaway

I can not wait to tell you about Lendperk, a new company that allows you to rent dresses in the form of a month-to-month subscription service.  There are three plans available - $49/month for an unlimited number of dress rentals, $34/month for two dress rentals, or $20/month for one dress rental.  You can cancel at any time and have the option to  "rollover" dress rentals that you don't use.  Sweet. Deal.

I was thrilled when Lendperk asked me to review their services and offered to give away a free two week rental to one lucky reader.  As a blogger and local personality, I attend a lot of events.  While I'd love to run out and buy a new outfit every time, that's just not in the budget.  Not. Even. Close. However, $20 a month to be guaranteed something fresh to wear to events is completely doable.  And since Lendperk offers selections from my favorite brands, it's a match made in heaven.  Oh, and not having to worry about ironing or dry cleaning = PRICELESS :)

Here I am in my first "rental" dress that arrived perfectly pressed:

Taylor Pink Bubble Dress c/o Lendperk
Hair and makeup c/o Shear Ego Salon and Spa
Francesca's collection bow earrings
Thrifted necklace
Newport News bag
DKNY tights
Nine West peep toe bow pumps 

Here is the dress from ten more angles:

I'm wearing a 6, but probably could have gone with a size 4.
Definitely order a size down with this dress.

See?  I wasn't kidding.  Ten.

In any event...

The dress was a big hit at dinner.  I was getting compliments left and right.  I can definitely get used to having new dresses on my doorstep every month!

And here's the good news for all of you:  to make it easier for newcomers to try out their service with no financial obligation, Lendperk is offering a  9 day FREE trial for every monthly plan. You can check out one dress during this rental trial for free with no obligation to continue!  And if that's not exciting enough, one lucky reader will get a free two week rental of any dress in their collection!

One Sweater - Two Looks

I love taking pieces I already have to create new looks; I also like to travel light.  So these looks actually have more in common than my favorite (new) old man sweater.  Both outfits feature the same sweater, earrings, watch, tights, vintage ring and cowboy boots; yet each look has its own unique feel.

Here I am yesterday in Central Park:

Aldo sunglasses, garage sale earrings, Old Navy bag,
Forever 21 dress,  Moth cardigan via Anthropologie, Anthropologie belt,
Movado watch, vintage ring, DKNY tights, Target cowboy boots,

The inscription on the bench... how sweet! 

Here I am this morning at Englewood Cemetery:

garage sale earrings, handmade scarf,
Moth cardigan via Anthropologie,   Antropologie Wightwick Manor Dress,
Movado watch, vintage ring, DKNY tights, Target cowboy boots 

The first outfit I wore yesterday in New York City.  I spent the afternoon walking around Central Park and met some friends for dinner at Stecchino wine bar and bistro in Hell's Kitchen.  The second outfit I wore to a memorial service for my great aunt Virginia.  I think verstatile peices are the key to any wardrobe.  When you can mix and match what you have to create many different looks, your closet just seems bigger.

With that said, I have to know:  which look did you like best?

Ride 'em Cowboy

I really love my cowboy boots.  I bought them at Target a good five or six years ago and my love for them has grown exponentially over the years.  Right now I love wearing them with sundresses.  It's casual, comfortable, and easy!  (Not to mention they hide the fact that I am desperate need of a pedicure).  Bonus!

Here is how I made them work today:  
FYI:  I paid less than $100 for the entire outfit!

Target cowboy boots, DKNY tights, Old Navy dress, 

Bailey 44 cardigan via Anthropologie, Aldo Sunglasses, garage sale earrings, Lovebugs ring

Smile for Hope

This afternoon, my friend Erin and I went to Smile for Hope, an event put on by Sweet Pickle Photography to benefit Safe Journey, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing resources to women who have been affected by domestic violence.  It was a beautiful day, a great cause, and an excuse to wear one of my favorite pieces of clothing:  a vintage 1950's skirt that I've had for about 10 years.

It was also an excuse to shop local artisans and have some good ol' fashioned girl time.  What a lovely way to spend a Saturday afternoon!

This is what I wore:

Vintage 1950's skirt, DKNY tights, Kohls Boots,
New York and Company Tee,
Anthropologie sweater,
lotus necklace and earrings from Dragonflies in St. Augustine,
Michael Kors watch

Snagged this bag at an accessories swap,
the ring is vintage, the bracelet:  $1 at a yard sale.  FRUGAL!

Skirt Detail

This is what I bought:

Sterling Silver Ring
Lovebugs Jewelry and Lipbalm
$8

Anyone else attend Smile for Hope?  What did you buy?  Or better yet, what did you win?  I didn't win any of the raffles, but getting this ring for $8 was enough of a win for me!
