'Lavish Labels (Borrowed)!' is the fashionista-on-a-budget's little secret for staying on trend -- without having to remortgage her house to afford it.
The Beverly Hills boutique has a small and intimate showroom that provides one-on-one service for those looking to get a great look they can borrow for a few days at a fraction of the retail cost.
Each item averages about $100 US and can be kept for up to five days. Some of the designers available include fashion icons Badgley Mischka, Diane von Furstenberg, Betsey Johnson and L'Agence.
Busy jet-setters who are only in town for a few days or travelers cursing their airline for losing their luggage would also benefit from the 'Lavish Labels (Borrowed)!' service. The clothes available are fashion-forward, easily accessible, professionally cleaned upon return, and don't require being steamed to remove all of the wrinkles that have accumulated from being crammed into a suitcase.
