Stylish, flattering, and comfortable!
Well, while I loved this dress, my husband absolutely did not! I suppose, to him, it did not show what I really looked like, so he could not see the beauty in its design. The fabric was stiff to hold its shape, and the color was lovely. It was comfortable and flattering on my little baby bump, and left plenty of room for dinner!

Statement Maker
I can't tell you how many compliments I received while wearing this ring - it is incredible! It fits on different finger combos, depending on your finger size, and you can flip it different ways (the finger holes are all the same size with some flexible adjustments). The only complaint was that it turned my fingers green, which is typical for most costume jewelry, but I did not expect it from an Oscar de la Renta piece.

I loved these earrings to death! They are clip-ons, which actually is good because they have a bit of weight to them. The colors are amazing and vibrant, and can go with an array of colors to match! For more RTR product reviews and styling, visit my blog, www.themiamirose.com!

Great Gunmetal Clutch
Great versatile clutch! I loved the texture of the leather, and the top foldover featured some gold as well so you can mix silver and gold accessories. It fit everything I needed as well, but does take the shape of whatever you put in there and can turn bulky. For more RTR product reviews and styling, visit my blog, www.themiamirose.com!

Lesson in Mod Colorblocking
This was definitely a statement piece! I loved wearing it - especially because of the draped half-cape. It gave me an elegant feeling, but the color pop of the dress made it modern. The mix of pink, orange, and red (at the sleeves) allowed me to have some fun with the color of the accessories! It is also incredibly comfortable due to the cut of the dress, and flatters most figures (it looked great with my baby bump).

Perfect Daytime Print
This shirtdress was perfect for summer as a standalone piece or as a tunic over leggings or jeans. I loved the print, as well as the softness of the fabric. It did get a bit wrinkled when I sat down, but that is just the nature of the lightweight fabric. I adored having it as part of my wardrobe this summer with Unlimited!

Picture Perfect
I wore this top to take a couple of photos in over the holidays (I posted the CUTEST one here) and was so happy with how it turned out. The sequins aren't too shiny, and are true to the picture. Very burgundy/dark red in color. A wonderful, festive look that can be dressed up or down with dark jeans. I was worried it wouldn't fit because I have a very full bust, but it actually fit just fine (a bit more snug than pictured on the model, which is loose and blousey).

Daring and worth a try
So, I never wear midriff tops - I am busty and short waisted, so I don't ever feel like it's flattering. I decided to give it a try with this top because I love the print, and I was very happy with it. Not only did it layer really well with a plain tank, it also fit surprisingly well, even though in a top like this I would normally need an XL because of the bust area (this is why I selected that it "runs large"). Definitely happy with the look, but not sure when I will try a crop again in the near future! Perhaps with a high-waisted pant or skirt...

Perfect Pantone "Serenity"
I have to say that since childhood I have been drawn to baby blues and periwinkle, so when Pantone announced "Serenity" as one of their 2016 colors, I knew there would be lots of fashion in blue this year. This bag is the perfect shade, and held its shape wonderfully. It is one of the sturdier, more structured bags that RTR has available, so it travels well. I did expect it to be a bit larger, but it held all of my things easily. To see me style other Rent The Runway items, visit my blog at www.themiamirose.com.

I was hesitant to try these glasses since they are not the norm for me - but I got so many compliments and really fell in love with them!

These earrings were so great, I wanted to wear them with everything! I would get them in every color if I could (and I think RTR actually has them in a few colors!).

I thought this clutch was great for a special event. Difficult to fit everything in it, but it forces you to take a minimalist approach. It color is bright gold, and there is no getting around it, so plan accordingly with your other accessories. It has a good weight to it, and it's not difficult to unlatch.

Perfect Color Combo
Colors and texture of this bag were great - as pictured. It matched the outfit I had in mind perfectly. However, the structure of the bag is not as sturdy as I thought it would be, and it arrived misshapen. I re-shaped it as best as I could, but I find this is an ongoing issue with RTR handbags - they need to send them in a different box, pre-stuffed so the items keep their shape and aren't flattened or crumpled.

Brighter than bright
I loved the color of this handbag, as well as the size - definitely could stop traffic. Unfortunately, the only thing I was really disappointed with was the manner in which I received it. It was crumpled, as if someone had balled it up and stuffed it in the duster bag instead of folding it strategically along the seams (or evenly). The bag never held a nice shape the entire time that I had it, and it was flimsy (you can see it best in the second pic). The leather held on the the creases caused by it being crumpled in the duster bag, and never straightened out even when I stuffed it or laid it flat to form it. I was sad that I was not able to wear it more. To see me style more Rent The Runway items, visit my blog at www.themiamirose.com.

Just what I imagined...
When I rented this hat I was worried it would arrive crumpled and misshapen - I was right. Thankful I have my own hat stand (!) and was able to at it overnight so that it regained some of its original shape. I still had to strategically place it on my head, however. RTR please find a better delivery method for items like these - I was at least hoping for a hat box and not a bag.

Classic, original, unexpected, and modestly sexy.
My husband helped me pick this out, so I have to give him some credit. It was sexy without being too revealing, and unusual yet classic like a LBD. The fabric flowed beautifully. As for the fit: I would have worn the 10, but the 12 was just more comfortable for me in the bust area, but it was also a bit big in the waist. I knew I would be eating, sitting, and dancing from 3 pm - 12 am so I needed as much comfort as possible. Worn with a strapless bra. Received so many compliments all night, and might rent it again for another wedding - we will see! Only con: it arrived a day late, and was extremely wrinkled and I didn't have enough time to have it steamed professionally. I had to risk ironing it myself (I was nervous) but it turned out OK and there were no issues. For more pics you can visit my blog at www.themiamirose.com

This cuff pretty much goes with anything - it has multiple shapes of crystal that are perfectly faceted. They aren't cut too much that it looks "fake" like some crystal bracelets can.

I love almost everything about this bag. The texture, the print, the construction, and even the adorable mirror inside. The only thing I didn't expect was the size.

Great fabric with lush details and texture, and the perfect color pink. It fit so well for my hourglass figure that I rented it twice: once for a bridal shower, and second for my blog's "Birthday".

Backup ended up being the best!
This was a last minute backup, and thank goodness I picked it because it was the best fit/look by far! It runs a bit small, and since I have a very large bust I had to go with the 16, but it was so comfortable the entire night. It was flattering and the colors are perfect fall complements. I wish I had another wedding to go to this fall just for the sake of wearing this dress again! Bustier top has boning and two zippers (inner and outer) so there really is no need for undergarments. The skirt was very wrinkled when it arrived but I hung the dress in the bathroom when I showered and the steam straightened it out right away.

Perfect for the Opening Night of Miami City Ballet's 2013 season
This dress was amazingly flattering as well as comfortable. We had dinner before the ballet, and it was even comfortable after I stuffed myself full. The boning in the sides hugged my curves and defined my waist. I sat most of the night (dinner + the ballet) and it did not bother me at all. The length was a bit short in my opinion (I am 5'3" and it barely came to my ankles) so I might consider getting the longer length next time simply because I wear high shoes and I prefer the elegance that extra long length gives you. I am 34D+ and didn't need to wear a bra because the dress provided a lot of support, but I wore one anyways just to give it a nicer shape up top since it did smush and flatten a little bit. My fiance loved the dress so much he wanted to buy it for me to keep!

Great Modern Cuff
I was looking for a piece to incorporate both gold and silver tones since my purse had gold details, and my earrings and ring were silver in color. This cuff was the perfect compliment and tied everything in together beautifully. It was a bit loose in the hinge on my wrist, and almost come off once when I moved my hand too quickly, but after that I was pretty stationary and careful not to let it go flying.
