Lending Luxury for Fashionistas on a budget

Do you need the perfect outfit for a hot date, or a girl’s night out, or a formal event, or even a job interview?  With the advent of social media such as Facebook, who can bear to be photographed in the same outfit twice?  Who can afford to purchase a drop-dead gorgeous outfit for every special occasion that comes along?  

Two inventive Tampa entrepreneurs, Sara Jon and Jennifer have got a fashionista covered.  Lending Luxury (lendingluxury.com)   is a website that was recently launched to save time and money while looking for the latest couture.

Sarah Jon and Jennifer travel to New York City to meet with the fashion designers and deliver the latest in fashion direct from the designers.  The collection currently has approximately 400 different styles, in various sizes, and they continue to add 30 to 40 dresses a week.  Not to worry, this is not for size 0’s only, a range of sizes are available, depending on the designer.  Sizing charts are provided with every dress to help determine which size to order. 

Most dresses can be rented for under $100, and labels include such fashion designers as Betsey Johnson and Nicole Miller, to name only a few.  Rental prices included in the price of rental, and the rental period is for 5 days, beginning on the day the dress is received.   

From high school dance, to high school reunion, and any other special occasion when looking fabulous is the only option, this is a great solution for any fashionista.


The pictures to the side and below are just a small sample of what is available.  For a full list of the available styles check out the website:

Better with Age

Wine isn’t the only thing that gets better with age. Women also get better than age. Believe it. By the time we are in our 40’s we are smarter, sassier, more financially secure, and no longer insecure. We don’t blow off our girlfriends for some cute guy, because we all know, if he is worth it, he will wait. We know which products, colors, and styles work best for us. We have finally found the perfect hairstylist who “gets” us. We are not fashion victims any more, chasing the latest trends, we make trends. We have evolved into fashion icons. Need some convincing? – Check out these photos.

Nobody can deny that Jennifer Aniston has evolved into a fashion icon. In 1990 she was just an unremarkable pretty girl.

Halle Berry proves she can still rock a pink outfit, but her fashion choices are so much more sophisticated now than in 1986.

I don’t even know, nor do I want to know, how old Michelle Pfeiffer is. She was a pretty girl in 1985, but today she is a timeless beauty.

Today she is an international beauty, but Elisabeth Hurley was just a cute girl from United Kingdom in 1991.

Before there was "Sex and the City", there was “Square Pegs”. Sara Jessica Parker has successfully evolved from high school geek in 1985 to fashion icon today.

Today she is a Desperate Housewife, but in 1990 Terry Hatcher just looked desperate.

We can forgive Nicole Kidman for marrying Tom Cruise, but that hair in 1989 is unforgiveable. She is absolutely stunning today, and an Oscar-Winning actress to boot.

I couldn’t resist adding just one man.  Brad Pitt was a cute guy 1987, but today he is a certified hottie.
