Keeping up to date with the latest fashion can be tiresome on the purse strings. As ladies, we like to feel good about ourselves. We like carrying expensive designer handbags. And we like wearing beautiful designer shoes and dresses. The only problem is that most of us can’t afford it... What a bummer.

Luckily for all frugal fashionistas there’s a new solution. One that doesn’t involve robbing a bank. Ever imagined unlimited access to the very best? Well… imagine exclusive borrowing privileges of the most coveted designer handbags, shoes and dresses.

Affordable fashion has decided to go a new road. Websites have been springing up all over the place offering the latest designer goods for you to have as often as you want. The catch? A small monthly fee. In the fashion business, where hot new styles emerge and disappear in months if not weeks, an online bazaar that allows shoppers to rent bags for short periods of time has certain stylistic, economic and environmental advantages.

Ladies it’s time to borrow, party, return. www.girlmeetsdress.com is the leading UK designer frock on-loan website. With designers such as Lanvin, PPQ, Miu Miu, Stella McCartney, Ossie Clarke, Diane von Furstenberg, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Tata Naka, McQueen and Marni adding new stock every week, you’ll just need to find an excuse to party.  

There’s nothing better than heading out for the night in a beautiful pair of designer shoes. Cinderella-Me.co.uk offers a huge collection featuring over 200 designs from top brands - Jimmy Choo, Christian Louboutin, Alexander McQueen, Dior, Giuseppe Zanotti, D&G, Gucci and YSL.

Your arm candy can make an outfit and set a lasting impression, but keeping up-to-date with the latest luxury must-have bags is a very expensive business. www.be-a-fashionista.co.uk provides an exciting new way to have access to the latest and hottest authentic designer handbags.
