Rent the Runway

WHAT JENN IS WORKING ON RIGHT NOW: While I wait for edits on my latest Bliss romance, I'm plotting the second in the series.

Me--when I got the email:

Anyway, I am attending a GALA next month--which is black tie invited.
After looking through my closet and coming up frustrated, I decided to try a website I've been hearing a lot about: RENT THE RUNWAY.

Basically, you can rent a dress for any event/wedding/gala etc.. and most are big named designers for less than the cost of actually buying a dress (and only wearing once). They will be delivered the day before the event and then I have 4 days to return. No dry cleaning needed. They will do it for me.

I went big and rented 2 gowns. I figured one of them HAS to look good. Keep in mind I will have a tan by then too.

Here are my selections:
Choice #1

Choice #2

I'm excited.

Stay tuned and find out which dress I wear next month!

I will post pictures for sure!

Until then, Happy Reading!

Jennifer

Have you heard of Rent The Runway? Have you used it? Would you?

Misc Monday!

Happy Monday!

Well, the puppy seems to be adjusting well to us. And we're adjusting to him. I know everybody says this about their own puppy, but he really is sweet--and so smart!

WARNING: gratuitous puppy photo coming

Anyway, as my blog title hinted to...

Here's my MISC MONDAY:

**The June theme at the Heart-Shaped Glasses blog is "weddings": If you're looking for a good wedding read, stop on over and check out my post.
(All commenters this month are entered into our giveaway)

** Today is my 18th wedding anniversary! (It's actually my hubby's brother's anniversary too. My brother and sister-in-law were married on June 10th six years before us)

** Lastly, I'm happy thrilled to announce that my novel Sunny Days for Sam WON the 2013 Golden Quill Published Authors Contest for BEST TRADITIONAL ROMANCE! Yay!
It was up against two Harlequin Romances that looked very good, so I am very humbled.

And that's about it for me!

Have a great week!
