Spotlight: Products That Work


Lerosett Organic Clay Treatment

This 100% organic clay treatment fights oily and problem skin. We have only been using it for a week and already we are noticing positive, drastic changes in our skin. This has clearly been the best product we've used in years as it prevents breakouts and helps maintain healthy looking skin. For more information check out the website Lerosett




The Dermalogica products are well known and there is a reason for it. This amazing cleansing gel is soap-free and excels at removing impurities. The best part about it is that you don't need to use too much to get the job done. A tiny application goes a long way and helps keep skin fresh and radiant. For more information go to: Dermalogica  

Sephora by OPI
We love how OPI has teamed up with Sephora. The nail polish collection is fantastic and we had to share with you one of our favorite top coats! This glittery gold nail polish is perfect to add spunk to any base you choose. We notice the amount of compliments we get, what about you? Try it out! As Good As Gold Collection


You only have one head of hair, so make sure to make the most of it! We were recommended to try some Aveda products from hairstylists at the Vicara Aveda Hair Salon in El Segundo. What we discovered, was the Scalp Benefits shampoo & conditioner. If you have oily hair this is the product for you! Showering your hair every day can get extremely time-consuming and we have been trying to find the best way to avoid this (it's also not good to wash your hair every day). We have noticed a major difference and oily hair just doesn't seem to be the issue lately. Try it out and tell us what you think! Scalp Benefits: Balancing Shampoo & Conditioner.

Also, make sure to try out the Damage Remedy Daily Hair Repair. You just squirt a little bit into your hands and apply it to damp washed hair. The results? Soft and frizz-free hair! A great compliment to the shampoo and conditioner. Damage Remedy

Pref Season & Lazy Sunday

one of our Runway Reps, Samantha Guarderas (red), and friend Kelsey Hodge. Great minds think alike as they chose to wear the same dress and were not even aware of it!

Preference is an event that the fraternity's put on in the Spring, after their recruitment process is over. It is a way for the new guys to experience an event with their new fraternity and each guy can bring a date.

Here is a similar style to the dress, perhaps for a more formal event:

Retail: $850, Rental: $125


Crafts
It was such a beautiful day today here in Los Angeles (high of 77 degrees!). Four of the rep's for LMU Rent the Runway are Kappa Alpha Theta's and today we hosted an event called "Kite Sisters". Basically, the seniors have a few months left before they graduate so Kite Sisters is a way to get the new members to meet and hang out with some of the older Thetas. The new members walked into a room where their names were attached to balloons. They then had to pop the balloon, and inside was a message containing their Kite Sister's name and a picture. Then the older members gave their new Kite Sisters little goody bags with Theta shirts. Following this, the Kite Sister's then went outside to a lawn and had a day full of arts and crafts! It was so much fun and a great bonding experience!

Recap: Fashion Show November 17th, 2011

Pre-Runway Cocktail Party






Goody Bags


We had our FIRST fashion show on November 17th, 2011. It was a major success with 20 wonderful LMU girls strutting their stuff and showing off some of our favorite dresses. We are so proud of everyone for working so hard. Our models looked amazing and it was a great experience for the rep team. We are currently working on a trunk show that will be put on sometime in February so look out for that!
