Rock & Republic Plain Wrap Stiletto: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 05:50:00 -0700

Rock & Republic has just released a new line for Fall, Plain Wrap, which has a lower price point - $35 to $198 - than its main collection. Each item (hoodies, jeans, leggings) is emblazoned with its name in capital letters. Case in point: this Plain Wrap Stiletto. "This is a new initiative with a new perspective for the consumer that wants fashionable basics with staying power,” said Michael Ball, founder and creative director of the company. Do you agree? Does this concept have staying power or is it lame?

Fab Ad: Rock & Republic Fall '08

FabSugar — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 12:00:22 -0700

Rock & Republic stuck to what it knew best for its Fall Campaign - rock. That said Malgosia Bela and Vladimir Roitfeld look pretty bored for portraying rock stars. The photo shoot, shot by Mark Segal and directed by Julia Roitfeld, depicts the two in their R&R gear amongst a slew of amplifiers and wires. The set looks stark and overly clean; musicians don't live like that!

Julia should of added a little dirt and grime to make the scene more realistic. On the plus side, the clothes are great and Malgosia looks rocker ready in her boots and fur. What do you think?

Ellie_K gets props for rocking the latest Fab trend. Her vest is fuzzy and fierce. Wearing it against a light gray palette is ideal for the semi-cold weather. I also dig the nude patent clutch and fun bangles.

Here's what she has on:

Vest: Urban Outfitters
Top: Target
Jeans: Rock & Republic
Shoes: Vincci
Bangles: Armani Exchange
Clutch: Anya Hindmarch for Target

Congrats to ellie_K!

Back to Cool: Dazed and Confused

FabSugar — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 14:00:22 -0700

I remember when I saw Dazed and Confused in the theater circa 1993 (15 years ago!) - I wanted to see it again, and again, and again. And, I have. It's probably one of my most worn out DVDs. I love the '70s and this Richard Linklater-directed film is a fun trip. The guys are hot, the girls are gorgeous, the music is groovy, and the cars are cool. All the story lines are exciting and the senior bitches are unforgettable. (One of my favorite Parker Posey roles, ever.) If all you want is a slow ride and to take it easy, soak up this not-too-cool-for-school wardrobe.

For one of the movie's best scenes, read more.

Simply Fab: eLuxury Denim Fit Guide and Designer Q&A

FabSugar — Tue, 27 May 2008 04:00:22 -0700

I'm convinced that finding the perfect pair of jeans is almost as tough as searching for a needle in a haystack. I said almost! So when you do track down one that hugs you in all the right places, I advise buying in bulk. eLuxury has made it a wee bit simpler to narrow your options with its denim guide. Besides getting advice from editors, you also get tips from the designers themselves. Check out 18th Amendment's fit guide and designer Q&A. Same goes for J Brand, Seven For All Mankind, Acne, Paige Denim, Rock & Republic, and Rich & Skinny.

Celebrity Style: Eva Longoria

FabSugar — Mon, 07 Jan 2008 11:00:22 -0800

I'm thrilled for Eva Longoria because she got her cold-weather ensemble just right; no frills, no excess. While shopping with hubby Tony, the petite actress kept warm in a gray Rebecca Taylor cardigan and gray leather platform boots. Though this monochrome outfit has all the elements for matchy matchiness, Eva pulls it off by throwing in a metallic hobo and dark sunnies. Looks like the chilly weather is treating Eva quite well!

Rebecca Taylor Double-breasted cardigan - $315.00	Pyth-on/Pyth-off - satchel - $118.00
KG By Kurt Geiger KG Round Toe Knee High Boot - $319.34	Michael Kors Plastic Square Sunglasses - $275.00

Celebrity Style: America Ferrera

FabSugar — Mon, 19 Nov 2007 12:00:22 -0800

What makes America Ferrera Celebrity Style-worthy is her ability to look good dressing up and dressing down. Here, at the LA premiere of Enchanted, she's playing it relatively casual in a Nanette Lepore studded blouse and jeans. Her look is minimal but not dull. Go America for not letting the more fancily dressed attendees knock your confidence!

AK Anne Klein Dreams - $89.00	Zac Posen "Apple" Clutch - $795.00

Celebrity Style: Lindsay Lohan

FabSugar — Thu, 01 Nov 2007 12:00:22 -0700

The last time Lindsay Lohan was featured on Celebrity Style, it was on her 21st birthday, pre-rehab. It's good to have her back. Not much has changed about her style and she's been on a shopping binge. Urban Outfitters seems to be her favorite shop at the moment - both her plum colored bags are from there. Though she didn't dress up for Halloween, she has a modern pirate look going here!

Juicy Couture Jersey Stripe Henley, $268	Forever 21 Metallic Net Scarf, $7
Urban Outfitters Croco Framed Lady Bag, $58	MICHAEL Michael Kors Ribbed Cardigan, on sale for $31 (originally $90)
James Perse Standard Leggings, $90	L'autre Chose Fold Over Boot, $595

Celebrity Style: Victoria Beckham

FabSugar — Thu, 27 Sep 2007 10:30:33 -0700

Victoria Beckham was spotted at Narita Airport in Japan looking put together as usual and carrying her favorite Birkin bag. The long colorblock scarf is refreshing and lends to a casual feel, which we rarely see on Posh. She shows us that blazers are no longer only reserved for the office. We'll forgive her this time for not smiling - she's heading to London to visit David's father who had a heart attack. We wish him well.

Classic cotton ribbed tank - $14.50	Armani Collezioni Check Blazer - $1,195.00
Rock & Republic Kurt Flap-Pocket Jeans - $242.00	Carlos by Carlos Santana Starlet Peep Toe Mary Jane - $98.95
Flatiron triangle satchel - Black - $228.00	Trovata Samaritan Scarf - $129.00
Tom Ford Charles Aviator Sunglasses - $280.00
