Faux Sho

See what I did there?  "Faux Sho" instead of "Fo Sho" as in:

Why is that so funny?

Anywho, today we're going to be talking about faux leather.  Why?  Because it looks like leather (which we all know makes you look super cool) at a fraction of the price.   And as an added bonus you didn't have to kill any animals to look cute.  So, it saves money and lives - I call that fashion perfection.   

Here are my two favorite faux leather pieces that I plan on wearing to death:

Exhibit A:  Faux Leather Motorcycle Jacket

Buffalo jacket, JCrew necklace, Gap tee, Paige denim, Francescas bag, Madewell sunnies, Franco Sarto booties

Exhibit B:  Faux Leather Leggings

Shop Peppermint earrings, F21 top, Chicnova leggings (under $20 and fantastic),
Michael Kors watch,  Nine West shoes

Now let's have a moment of silence for the cute little critters who became my suede booties and black leather heels.  Oops.  At least they can rest in peace knowing they died in the name of fashion.

How do you feel about faux leather?  Love it?  Hate it?  Don't really care?

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!
