Sweetie Sal, aka Sally O’Shea works in HR by day, but by night she becomes a fashion and beauty blogger, filling her blog with top tips and style advice. Here Sally takes us through her top celebrity dresses to rent with Girl Meets Dress.

Jovani Blue Sequin Dress – £59

Not for the faint hearted, this sparkly nude mesh celebrity dress appeals to the magpie in me!

Diva Sophia Una Gown Purple – £39

I have loved this Diva Sophia celebrity dress since Una from the Saturdays dressed her Bridesmaids in it. I love the style, the colour and how gorgeously romantic it is!

Nicole Miller Eva Lace Black Dress – £49

Now this is a black celebrity dress perfect for a hot date or a night out with the girls! It is beautifully made and classically sexy!

Marc by Marc Jacobs Panthera Print Shift Dress – £39

Marc Jacobs never fails to add a fun twist to their pieces and this Panther dress is no exception! Simple yet sparkly this is a really versatile dress that could be worn for a variety of occasions.

Gorgeous Couture Jen Maxi Dress – £79

Gorgeously simple yet sexy, this nude maxi dress reminds me of a certain Miss Middleton’s Bridesmaid Dress… it’s the celebrity dress I would want to be wearing if I needed to impress someone!

Samsung has partnered up with Stylist Magazine, giving the Note 8.0 to eight women to use for eight days. This month Samsung met up with Anna Bance, co-founder of Girl Meets Dress, and discovered her experiences with the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0.

Get Anna’s look with our Malene Birger Rasminel Mixed Media Dress available to rent for £59. We also spied a couple of Anna’s other favourites in the background too…

Starting her blog at uni and soon turning it into a hobby, Jemma Lamble is known to many as Floral Etiquette – http://floral-etiquette.blogspot.co.uk/. The 21-year-old covers both fashion and beauty and has made quite a name for herself in the blogging world. Here she takes us through her top 5 cocktail dresses to rent online.

Alice and Olivia Papina Dress – £49

This is just the most perfect cocktail party dress to hire for summer. I really fall in love with ladylike styles and bright colours and this nearly fluorescent number looks like it would real emphasise your good bits. I would love to wear this with a chic white clutch bag!

Marc by Marc Jacobs Tootsie Print Dress – £69

I am instantly drawn to the print of this cocktail dress and find the ruched neckline a really interesting aspect in design. It’s so whimsical and girly which is my style completely. I can see this looking exceptionally endearing with some vivid pink platforms.

Marc by Marc Jacobs Drew Print
Dress – £39
I couldn’t declare myself a true floral princess if I didn’t admire this cocktail dress greatly. I think the subtle distressed floral pattern really does the simple cut of the dress justice. Although I usually become hesitant when it comes to peplums, I could really see myself making this dress work due to the print alone.

Alice and Olivia Candice Print
Dress – £49
I firmly believe that if you’ve got lemons make lemonade, and this dress certainly makes me want to do just that. This is the most delectable cocktail dress with such a novel print. I adore yellow dresses in the summer; this unique fresh-looking pattern is perfect to act careless and free while soaking up the British summer!

Erdem Etta Print Dress – £109 
Erdem reflects more of my sophisticated grown up side to fashion with its cosmopolitan flair. What I love with Erdem though, is that I am still able to flaunt my floral nature with a cute flowers-in-bloom esque print. This cocktail dress would really compliment a night in the city while sipping on a martini.
