Trend Alert: Two-Tone Boots

Hannah Weil — Tue, 14 Dec 2010 07:00:44 PST

If you're shopping for leather or suede boots, why not get a real bang for your buck? Get the best of both - the appeal of supple suede and sleek leather with two-tone boots. The pretty leather piping on a suede boot, or vice versa, pulls double style duty, and they make a statement without being too attention-grabbing; just think of it as a chic little extra to get you noticed.

New Product Alert! Rock & Republic Pet Collection

PetSugar — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 09:30:49 PST

No, there's no denim involved, but Rock & Republic just released their very first pet collection! Filled with luxe products for the four-legged set, offerings run from the smart placemat to protect the floors ($20) to a soft gray carrier so lovely that I thought it surely was a human's purse ($330).

Personally topping my wish list is this black and fuchsia number - the grommet air holes lend a rocker-slash-useful edge to, well, the bag's edges, and the already-crackled leather would wear in nicely. Ahh, but see which item you'd most dream for in a widget of the full collection below.

Look of the Day: Pixie Cutie

FabSugar — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 07:50:22 PST

Junepaski's new haircut - love it - reminds me of Tinkerbell, but her outfit sings a different tune. The pixie cutie paired a striped sweater with black jeans for understated, ultra-mod appeal. The cropped cut is a fantastic way to show off those cute ballet flats. Also, check out that lush, green background - beautiful.

Here's what she has on:

Sweater: Unknown
Jeans: Rock & Republic
Belt: Unknown
Ballet Shoes: Topshop

Congrats to junepaski!

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

FabSugar — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 05:50:00 PDT

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 PDT

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?

Look of the Day: Fuzzy and Fierce

FabSugar — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 04:00:22 PDT

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 PDT

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,

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

FabSugar — Tue, 27 May 2008 04:00:22 PDT

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.
