As holidays go, Valentine’s Day may not be at the top of my list, but I’ll take any excuse to get dressed up and eat a chocolate-covered strawberry or two.  You can never go wrong with an easy LBD, and when that little black dress is covered in tiny studs, spikes, and beads, it’s even better.  And if you don’t have an extra $300 lying around to drop on a new dress for Valentine’s Day?  Fret not my pet.  You can rent this dress or tons of other great styles from The Stylist LA for a fraction of the cost.  It’s so simple.  If you’re in the LA area, you can visit the adorable Venice showroom, but if you aren’t, just head over to the site to have any of the styles shipped to you.  The owner Emily is a doll and beyond helpful if you need a little advice on finding the perfect dress.  So if you’ve got a romantic Valentine’s Day planned or a fun night out with the girls, there’s no better night to look and feel like a million bucks.

P.S. – You may notice that the blog has a brand new look.  I’m so excited for the new My Style Diaries, but please bare with me as we get it just right.
