FORGET THE "IT" BAG OR THE "IT" GIRL. THE NEW "IT" IS NOT HAVING "IT" AT ALL. THAT'S RIGHT MY FELLOW NEW YORKERS AND FRIENDS ACROSS THE COUNTRY, UNEMPLOYMENT IS IN.

Belle of the Ball

One of the things I envy most about the celebrity/socialite life is the fact that the women (and men) get to borrow phenomenal dresses and outfits for parties, TV appearances and other public events.

Oh sure, Mr. de la Renta, please send that dress over to my apartment by Thursday. Why yes, Mr. Lagerfeld, I would love to wear the frock tonight. And I can keep it? Oh, you're a darling!

HA! In my dreams.

So what is a recessionista to do when she has so many parties to attend, and she doesn't want to be a repeat offender?

She goes to Ilus. This Nolita store is your new Fairy Godmother. At Ilus, you can go into the boutique or shop online to "rent" a dress for whatever upcoming occasion you have - whether it be a ball or a bachelorette party. And you don't have to turn it back in by midnight - standard rental is for three days.

Rental fees vary depending on the frock, but it will cost less than actually purchasing that Herver Leger zip-up bondage number.

Ilus will even ship to Cinderellas who cannot make it into their store. And if you decide that you just cannot live without the dress, Ilus gives you the option to make it yours!

Bippidy, boppity, Badgley Mischka!
