Today I want to share with you a beautiful Dolce & Gabbana Winter 2014 Collection. The two very talented designers Domenico Dolce and Stephano Gabbana shared with us their wonderful idea to implement the rich Italian culture and Byzantine Art into the beautiful winter collection. Gorgeous dresses, beautiful handbags, stunning shoes, and oversized jewelry were decorated with beautiful mosaics, prints, patterns, ornaments, delicate lace, and flowers. The combination of blue, deep red, light-brown, pale green colors in addition to gorgeous royal pendants, sophisticated eyewear, and byzantine crowns along with the images of Saints and angels emphasized the rich heritage of the Italian culture and religion.

The designers put a major accent on the religious theme. While it maybe somewhat controversial, I personally like the idea of wearing a dress or a shirt that has a religious theme as long as it represents what I believe in.

My only thing is that I would avoid wearing short skirt or short shorts with it, and I would not wear a cross as a decoration. Otherwise, the collection is beautiful and very sophisticated.

Today I am very excited to announce my partnership with Lendperk! Lendperk is a store that allows you to rent dresses that you would find in Anthropologie, BCBG, Nordstrom, Wren, ASOS, and other stores. They allow you to rent a dress for one month. Some of the dresses are for sale, and so “if you rent a dress from that collection and want to keep it afterwards, feel free to do so!” They will charge your credit card the listed retail price of the dress on their website. If not, rent it, wear it, and send it back with no shipping costs.  And NO cleaning needed!

 Overall Review:

With FREE shipping, the dress was delivered in a couple of days. When I opened the package, there was a little sweet treat for me along with the prepaid returning package. The dress was as pretty as in the picture, and it was ready to be worn. No ironing needed!

I am very impressed with an excellent service Lendperk offered to me.

I decided to rent the Sequined Jacquard dress by Wren. Retail price is $425, currently on sale for $298). I can’t afford buying such an expensive item, but I love the fact that I can rent them for a small fee, and Lendperk is so good about that.

The dress is not really my style, but I went with it because I like challenging my style and try something new and different. Why not, that’s why I have this blog. 🙂 And so, tomorrow I start “1 Dress/3 Ways Challenge”! I will wear the dress for three different occasions in three different ways.  

To summarize my review…

I want to say that I am beyond happy with Lendperk company for providing me with such a great service, fast shipping, and a beautiful dress in an excellent condition. I like Lendperk because it allows you to rent a beautiful designer dress for a low reasonable cost. Look fabulous without spending a lot of money!

There is just one thing that I wish Lendperk to improve…I wish there were more dresses to choose from, and I wish all of the dresses would have various sizes. However, there are still some great options out there for a date night, wedding, office, and even for everyday wear.

Tomorrow the Challenge 1 Dress/3 Ways starts with the dress provided by Lendperk. I will give you a chance to see what the dress looks like on me and different ways to can wear it.

After tomorrow, I will run my First GIVEAWAY!!! One lucky winner will get a chance to choose any dress she wants from Lendperk and wear it for two weeks for FREE.
