Rent the Runway

In the mood to do a little shopping? That makes two of us. Seeing as though I’ve got a few summer weddings on my calendar in the upcoming months, I’m specifically on the hunt for a few bags I can rotate through the season, and Rent the Runway is the place I’m turning to. The service offers a one-time rental option, which allows you to reserve an outfit for up to 60 days before your event for *just* the rental price. You’ll receive your order one to two days before your event, and you can keep it for up to eight days—making it a great way to switch up your look without cluttering your closet (or totally draining your wallet).

If you need multiple outfits or accessories, you can take advantage of the platform's different subscription packages, where you can select from five, ten or 20 items per month, with prices starting at $47 for your first month (and $94 for each month afterwards) under the Limited Closet Access program. If you make the jump to the Full Closet Access program, plans start at $60 for the first month, and are as low as $119 every month after that.

There are literally *hundreds* of designer brands available, and considering you can snag an additional 50 percent off with the code INBLOOM for your first month, there’s no better time than the present to grab a new bag.

1. Madewell Braided Mini Clutch

Madewell

This sleek clutch is tailor-made for those days where all you need are the basics. It features a classic braided style that is always a summertime staple, and has just the right amount of room for all of your essentials. I’m also loving the bright orange color as it’s eye-catching, but still versatile enough to work with a wide range of outfits in your closet.

2. Loeffler Randall Charlee Flower Flap Clutch

Loeffler Randall

Also on my list is this flap clutch from Loeffler Randall, which features a gorgeous flower detailing that serves as a beautiful complement to its soft mauve colorway. Aside from being able to carry as a clutch, it also comes with a removable strap that can be worn across your shoulder for days where you want to switch things up a bit, making it a fun piece to add to your collection. You definitely can’t resist scooping this little guy up.

3. Wandler Hortesia Mini Bag

Wandler

This stylish mini bag doubles as a crossbody, and has an adjustable strap that hits at just the right spot. The structural shape is definitely the callout here, which gives it a timeless-yet-modern versatility that will last for years to come. Plus, it’s equipped with a set of open pockets that will fit your phone, wallet and any other smaller accessories you need to carry. It's the perfect fit for a destination wedding, since its structured shape looks polished, not slouchy, for the ceremony itself, yet it's just large enough to take with you as you explore the city (or beach town) you're visiting.

4. Loeffer Randall Rochelle Black Mini Bow Clutch

Loeffer Randall

Got a black tie event you're attending soon? Let this mini bow clutch from Loeffer Randall be one of your dates for the evening. A standout for its structural design, it’s traditionally made with organza (aka silk), and comes with a removable crossbody strap, giving you different ways to wear it. Understated, but still a conversation starter—who could ask for anything more?

5. Ganni Bou Bag

Ganni

This Ganni Bou bag is the perfect option to carry with you to formal events because of its bold cheetah print and luxe twisted strap. The detailing is to die for, and the strap is adjustable, meaning you can also wear it as a shoulder bag or crossbody. Plus, it’s right in line with the animal print trend that's been popping up everywhere lately.
