In a fast-fashion consuming world, we are always buying new clothes, shoes and bags but until now there has been nowhere to be found to swap our used garments, even they are still as good as new. However, 'collaborative consumption marketplaces' have taken off in recent years to offer you solutions to your over-crowded closet. A bit like Airbnb for clothes, a new startup called Style Lend is going to be your lend-and-rent online services where you can list and rent items for a fraction of their original retail costs.

Style Lend is hugely convenient, and they offer assurances of the services which are added on top of simply lending and renting out the dresses. There are basically two levels of services; First level is a self-service process where the lender gets 70% of the rental cost by renting demand, and the fee is split in 50/50 way in which Style Lend carries out dry cleaning services before the items are returned to lender. The second level is an additional assurance, as lenders can pay $5 for one piece that will handle issues such as broken zippers, small stains and ripped fabric.

Style Lend has easy and simple-to-implement steps of instruction for both borrower and lender on mobile App and official website. This is perfect for modern ladies who love their dresses and want to keep them, which those dresses stay in the closet for almost 95% of the time!

Steal her style: Chloe Moretz

Last week we saw Chloe Moretz looking absolutely fabulous in Valentino at the Teen Choice Awards and now we’re showing you how to steal her style! Her look was from the Resort 2015 collection and is perfect for a Summer to Autumn style transition. It was a 3 piece set with black and red embroidered short, jacket and a black bandeau. With such a bold outfit she went with a more neutral make up look with a subtle-yet-sultry smoky eye.

We love this outfit as it is so versatile and can be layered underneath to suit this unpredictable British weather! You can use findSimilar to take a snapshot of the outfit and find similar pieces to it to style it out in your own way. Here’s our style steal with some fab high street finds!

Friday Focus : iWatch

Our Friday Focus is on the most talked about technology right now… The iWatch! The much awaited wearable tech will be available this Autumn but it’s causing much discussion about whether it’ll affect the luxury watch market. Some thoughts are that it may pose head on competition, whilst some believe it to be an opportunity. A designer iWatch? Yes please! 
The iWatch is already a great example of wearable tech and its growing popularity, but could be a potential catalyst in the growth of Fashion Technology as it becomes more appealing to the everyday consumer. If Apple could collaborate with designers then it could become a covetable fashion item. 

The current designs of the technology seem reserved and easy to wear, but we could be seeing these branch out into more fashionable designs for the technology loving fashionistas out there. The design is unobtrusive, which is important in getting wearable technology out there were other devices seem to struggle, like Google Glass. As we become more comfortable with the use of wearable tech in our everyday lives, we might see a development in these watches as they expand to suit a wider variety of consumers, but right now they are understated and oh so desirable!

Style Crush! Nina Dobrev

Nina Dobrev knocked it out of the park yet again in a vibrant Zuhair Murad mini dress at the Let's Be Cops premiere. Her brunette hair, radiant skin and sultry shape are enough for anyone with lengthy layers to be envious of.

We recently came across a collection of stunning pictures of Nina Dobrev rocking red carpets and street style snaps, and we found the look she favors for every occasions, on-screen and off.

In terms of hairstyle, she draws attention with her loose ponytail. This style allows for her outfit to take the spotlight, while still highlighting her beautiful features. This subtle look is young and fun and we just love how easy it is to achieve. She also looks fabulous in her classic side-parting look when she pushes one side back and leaves the other tumbling over the shoulder. This is the quintessential way to create an asymmetrical, short to long face-frame in long hairstyles. The shimmering light of the shiny chocolate brown color adds a sophisticated wow-factor. In terms of outfits, we always spot her wearing a hat, jeans and t-shirt for a street-causal look. For red-carpet nights, she usually picks up a bright one-piece dress, which shows off her gorgeous body shape.
