Avelle - the new Bag Borrow or Steal sent a few fabulous bags to use in the Haute Market fashion show.  I will be sending several of them back this week so that you can borrow them too.

This red leather bag is by Rafe New York.  It's a great shape and size for everyday and definitely helped us add color to this outfit.  I love the fringe detail!  Cowl neck sweater dress from Steelballet in Overland Park, KS.

Since I borrowed this one for my personal collection, it was, in turn, borrowed by a friend and paired with a fabulous black and white animal print dress.  She was definitely dressed in style for our night out to a charity poker tournament with our husbands last Saturday night.  You can rent this hot red number at Avelle for just $25/mo. with membership, $38/mo. w/o membership.

This brown leather handled Burberry bag (the Haymarket small Bowling Bag) added extra plaid to this dress that only had a smidgen of plaid trim.  Plaid is popular this season and can be carefully mixed, like this example.  Plaid-trim dress with long-sleeves and hoodie, and red silk ribbon necklace from The Jewelry Girl, Overland Park, KS.

This Burberry could be yours for just $125/month with membership at Avelle.  Membership can be paid monthly or yearly.  I sprang for the yearly $59.95 fee and have more than covered it by saving with the discounted membership rental rates.  Though I meant to choose the black handled version, the bag still looked great on the runway.

You may have noticed this purple Prada before as it's the one I took to New York's fashion week last month.  I loved the Prada Vernice Sfumata Tote so much I've borrowed it for a second month since purple is such a hot trend at the moment.  For the fashion show we used it to accessorize this Audrey-style two-tone dress from Underground Vogue and a purple scarf sent to us by the USA Network to help promote their new series, The Starter Wife.  A beautiful ensemble.
