PERFECT EYES WILL HAVE PERFECT HATE


Dress* // Jovani rented from Wish Want Wear
Shoes // River Island
Rings // Lumafina & Vivienne Westwood

Needless to say I felt like a total Hollywood movie star in this dress!  I was kindly rented it by the team at Wish Want Wear and it has got to be the most stunning dress I've ever put on.  The designer is Jovani and after loving this one so much I looked up other designs and they are so gorgeous, although the price tag isn't so great!  This particular dress is currently £110 to rent on the site, and considering the RRP of the dress is £972 I think paying that amount to rent it for an event is a very fair price.  If I was going to the leavers ball at my sixth form I can honestly say that I would rent out a dress for the night, rather than spending a ton of money on a dress that I'm going to wear once, then just have to give away or sell for nothing after having it hanging around for ages.  With renting, you can have a dress that is a big cut above the rest, while saving money! I would definitely check out the rest of the range of designer dresses as there are some gorgeous pieces, and a lot are cheaper to rent than this one.

All you do is organise the designated dates you would like the dress, then it is sent out to you for free with a pre-paid envelope.  When you are finished with the dress simply pop it in the envelope and take it to the post office.  You don't need to have the dress dry cleaned at all, it's as simple as that!
What do you think?  Would you ever try designer dress hire?

SOCO AMARETTO LIME

Dress* // Oh My Love
Earrings // Market
Bracelet* // Native Feathers
Necklace* // Delilah Dust
Spiked Damsels // Jeffrey Campbell
Rings // Rachael Sudlow, market, Lumafina, market, Vivienne Westwood

As simple as this outfit may be, I thought adding to it would take away from the impact, less is more dahlink!  I got this dress from Oh My Love (who's event I attended the other day, a post on that soon!) and I absolutely love the print.  It's obviously a cheetah print, but if you look closely there's hidden cheetah faces, which are totally fierce (literally!) and you can't leave out the back detail, I've actually been a lot more comfortable going braless recently, and because the front isn't very low, the open back distracts you from my 'breastically challenged' self haha!  It's actually a very versatile piece, for example I wore it out clubbing the other day as I styled it here, but for the Oh My Love event I threw on my Hedonia sheer crop jumper (featured in an outfit here) and piled on the gold jewellery then voila, a more casual day look!

BODY LIKE A WHIPLASH

Earrings // Primark
Dress* // Brave Soul
Shoes // Ebay
Rings // ?, Harts + Crosses, Topshop, OASAP

I've never really tried out the peplum style, and I actually asked for a skater dress from this site, so when this arrived I was a little disappointed at first but when I tried it on I fell head over heels in love with it!  The material is really thick so there's no chance of VPL and the high studded neckline combined with the low cut back is so flattering, especially on girls that ain't so big in the breasticle department.  However, the dress was quite hard to photograph so the photos really don't do it justice!  I thought I'd pair it with my nightwalk dupes I got from ebay ages ago and my huuuge seeing eye hoop earrings I got from Primark the other day, which I think are so cool!
