Valentine's Day Gift Ideas

Okay, so this post is more of a "wish list" than an actual "shopping list" of potential Valentine's Day gifts.  Although I don't expect to get anything from the list, it is fun to dream... whilst eating read cinnamon hearts of course.

The theme is Valentine's Day Gifts, so everything will be red, pink, or some derivation thereof.  To you, from the Bling Girls, with love.

Birthday Bling

If you've been reading this blog for a little while you'll be aware that I sometimes write for Bling Borrowers and I've been lucky enough to play with two rental bags through this lovely Canadian company.  The ladies of Bling Borrowers live out in Calgary which is really just a shame because I think I'd like to have weekly coffee with them! 

Anyway, not too long ago they added a couple of bags to their inventory and automatically knew I was going to be head over heels with this Michael Kors bag... somewhere in the last year I realized I LOVE MK bags and this one is PURPLE.

So this lucky birthday girl is the first one to get to take this bag for a spin.  Meet my new pretty friend...

You can't have this bag right now because I'm keeping it for awhile (I will return it eventually. I will return it eventually. I will return it eventually) but do stop by facebook and say hi to the lovely ladies of Bling Borrowers.

New Louis Vuitton Damier Ebene Neverfull Available for Rent!

Okay ladies, there are trends in spring 2012 in handbags (e.g., pastels, transparents, etc.) and there are classic handbags that are en vogue every season of the year.  Our latest addition is the latter.

You've seen it before on celebrities and women in the mall.  On the runway and on the beach.  It's the Louis Vuitton Damier Ebene Neverfull MM.

For the uninitiated, the MM is the middle size of the Neverfull family.  It's not too small and not too large; it's just right (to quote Goldilocks)!  If you need to hold more belongings, simply extend the side drawstrings to expand the bag.  Need it to be a bit more sleek?  Just tuck in the sides of the bag, pull the drawstrings tight, and suddenly you have a tidy tote.

If you really want to switch it up, the Neverfull was designed to be fully reversible, although I have yet to see anyone carry the bag with the liner showing instead of the canvas.  Although the price of the Neverfull continues to climb ($715 in 2010, $770 in 2011, and $820 in 2012), we've kept our rental price the same!  It can be yours for only:

• $35 a week (only 4% of the retail cost!)
• $105/month
• $280/season (90 days)

The seasonal price works out to just over $3/day!  So ditch your morning coffee and treat yourself to designer luxury instead.  And when the season's over, you'll be ready to switch up your look with the next hot new rental!

Why rent when you can afford to own?  By renting, you don't end up with an $820 bag sitting in the closet collecting dust after you tire of it.  Think of renting like paying for only what you use!  You could rent a different bag every season for the price of buying just one!  You can switch up your look far more often, for far less money.

More new Louis Vuitton rentals are on the way!  Be sure to like us on Facebook and sign up to receive our email newsletters (top right of website) to be the first to know!

Much love,
