Delicious Color!
I paired this bag with a minimalist black dress, and kelly green wrap. The color combo was fantastic! You can fit a metric ton of stuff in this bag, too. And, it was immaculately clean. Perfection. One note: it was a smidge difficult to carry, due to the size and lack of structure . BUT, I did anticipate that when I rented an unstructured clutch, so no stars deducted for that. Just a bit of an FYI.

Gorgeous and modern!
These earrings are fantastic! The photo doesn't really do them justice, but believe me when I tell you that they make a statement. I opted for a very minimalist dress, with an one-shoulder neckline, so I needed jewelry that would be attention-grabbing. The earrings did an excellent job of providing both sparkle and impact. Despite their size, they didn't feel overly heavy on my ears and I kept them in all evening. I really enjoy all of Sarah Magid's jewelry, but these are pretty close to my favorites. One thing to note -- they do "jangle" a bit. If you are in an environment that is noisy, you won't notice, but I could definitely hear them in the car on the drive over.

Juicy Color!
This is a great clutch. Plenty of room. I carried around keys, a lip crayon, lip gloss, mascara, cards, and my phone. I was almost able to fit a pack of cigarettes in there, too (my hubby smokes). There is no zipper, which makes it pretty flexible for cramming stuff in there :) but, the closure still kept everything in. I paired this with a Sarah Magid cuff. The cuff, combined with the purse, added great color to my all black outfit. The color of the clutch is VERY bright -- almost neon (you can see the edge of it in my right hand).

Great statement cuff!
Loved this cuff! The colors were beautiful and very unique. Eye catching, for sure! It was a perfect pop of color for an all black outfit. Be warned, though: This cuff is small. I have a fairly tiny wrist (I wear a small sized Fitbit), but it was still a bit snug. There was not a lot of wiggle room between the bracelet and my wrist. If you are someone who gets bothered by watches or bracelets that are right against your skin, you might want to pass.

Rented for an annual black tie charity event where I also sing the National Anthem.
The handbag was adorable! It was the perfect look I needed. It was a liitttttle small. Long, but narrow. I had to edit out a few items but it could contain the essentials (cell phone, key, lip gloss, mascara, drivers license, and one credit card). If you are the type of gal who needs more cosmetics on hand, this is probably not your bag.

Black tie beauty!
The fit of this gown was spot on. I am usually a size 12-10. Depending on the brand. I ordered a 10L with a 12L as back up. The size 10 fit like a glove. As you can see, the 10L was actually a little short. The 12L was EVEN SHORTER, ;like 4 inches shorter (bizarre). I'm not all that tall. About 5'7" in bare feet. My heels brought me up to about 5'11" and the 10L still didn't graze the ground (the 12L was UNWEARABLY short! Seriously, I almost wish I'd gotten the XL). I was very happy with how this dress hugged my curves. I have a very true hourglass figure, with just a bit of a tummy. This draping on this dress concealed EVERYTHING! I'm not kidding! It also helped with my "less than perfect" arms. This dress has a good amount of stretch. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was the amount of layers. The pictures don't really showcase that the bottom has three layers: one stops right at your bum (so be careful if you are bottom heavy -- it will cut into you), the second helps show less leg behind the slit, and the top lies as you would expect. Overall, I would recommend this dress. It was very comfortable and it didn't feel too heavy. I am big busted (36DD-36DDD) and I was able to wear a Spanx singlet and a normal bra. Overall, I would definitely re-rent this dress for a different occasion. I would especially recommend this dress for any event that is taking place in a ballroom or a hotel (which are notoriously COLD). I was comfortable throughout the event, while many of my friends complained of being cold.
