Oh man, I’m so excited about today’s review and giveaway that I can hardly stand it! I hope that you have been enjoying your “clues” for the past 4 days! Now it is officially time to reveal the
prize!
Bag Borrow or Steal has partnered with Chic Shopper Chick to promote their “role” in the new movie, Sex and the City. If you have yet to see the new movie (is that possible?), Carrie hires a new assistant, Louise (played by Jennifer Hudson). During her interview, Louise tells Carrie that she moved to New York from St. Louis, and that she is broke, sharing a one-bedroom apartment with 4 other girls. Carrie looks down at Louise’s Louis Vuitton Blue Denim Bowly Handbag and asks if she is sharing an apartment with so many girls, how does she afford that bag?
Louise says “It’s rented. Bag Borrow or Steal, baby.”
At this point, I am sitting in the movie theater FREAKING out, because not only am I a huge fan of Bag Borrow or Steal, but I also know that I have this giveaway coming up, which makes me even more excited.
So, for those of you who aren’t familiar with this awesome service, or have just started to hear the buzz about it, let me fill you in. Bag Borrow or Steal is being called the “netflix of handbags”! It is an online borrowing service that lets it’s customers choose from thousands of designer items — all available for rent on a weekly or monthly basis! Why should fashion editors and socialites be the only people allowed to borrow great accessories? Now you can too! With more than 3,000 luxury handbags styles availble to rent, and more than 650 jewlery styles, there truly is something for every occasion.
I plan on renting myself a nice Chanel Bag for my trip to Europe this summer, and perhaps a small evening clutch as well. I have every intention of fitting in while I am in Paris, also known as the fashion capital of the world (no pressure there, right?). And for those of you who have never been — the French will notice your designer bag. Even the men will comment on how beautiful your “Sha-nel bag” is.
The cool thing about Bag Borrow or Steal is that you don’t have to be rolling in dough to rent a great bag. For example, members of BBoS can rent this fabulous BCBGMAXAZARIA “Erica” bag 
for only $6 per week! Like Coach? Rent this Coach Hobo bag for only $9 per week! Of course, if you have more expensive tastes, or just need a bag for a one-time occasion, you could look into renting this amazing Christian Dior “Plisse” bag (at left) for $111 per week (this one is swoon-worthy).
It doesn’t stop at designer handbags, ooooh no. I also like the sunglasses rental option — where you can snag these Prada shades for a cool $43 a month (they also go for $20 a week, but it makes more sense to keep them for a month at those prices). Or, my favorite Chanel glasses that I have worn for 3 years straight (they never go out of style) can be rented for $75 per month! Oooh, or how about designer jewlery? Rent the Tiffany earrings you see above for $68 per week.
So, are you a designer guru like me, without the pocket change to support it? If so, Bag Borrow
or Steal is definitely the online site for you!
