In my last post writing
about Rugby Ralph Lauren finally opening their first European store here in
Europe (London) I immediately wrote a disclaimer about not being able to be
totally objective when commenting on this brand since it grew quite close to my
heart when I worked there couple of years back. I loved it all, magical window
displays, company’s social responsibility and projects, super cool &
tremendously creative team of people I worked with and brands edgy-preppy
clothes of course.J
At the time I worked at University
Place store in NYC, Rugby was a bit more edgy featuring all of those fabulous fashion
forward dresses, basic Ralph Lauren pieces spiced up with edgy sculls,
collegiate patches creating classic but also rebellious and rockerish young look.
My favorite pieces many of
which I still wear are many, most of my closet is filled with Ralph Lauren
pieces with favorite being: Rugby skinny jeans, distressed leather valets and
belts, cashmere sweaters and cardigans, cable knit sweaters for work in pastel
colors, classic gold button navy blazer, rugby dresses and scull tote and of
course lovely bow ties and suspenders.
Even one of the world’s most
popular fashion bloggers Susie Bubble likes to wear Rugby’s scull chinos.

Rugby’s spring collection
will hit it stores on January 31stin all of its locations in US and
London in Europe but it is already available for purchase online.
„It's the kind of clothes that mothers and
daughters can wear, in terms of concept...
It's not about age. It's about taste, and it's
about lifestyle.
I believe women of all ages can wear anything.“

When I still lived in NYC,
Free People store was one of those I visited on a regular, if nothing else at
least to window shop and get styling inspirations. Pieces I find myself buying
most often are turquoise silver jewelry, vegan leather pants, shorts, dresses
and jackets as well as tights and leggings, thermal shirts and maxi cotton
dresses. Last time I checked out the page there were also a couple of cute
pairs of shoes.
Since some of the top 10
fashion brands which I adore (i.e. Rugby RL) do not deliver to Croatia yet
(unless I ask some of my friends who still work there to buy it and ship it to
me) I was thrilled to find out that Free People actually do! The shipping cost
is not bad at all, especially if you order more pieces at a time.
Here are some of my favorite
pieces and looks.
I would totally recommend to
every city girl to check out Free People collections, cause at first I thought
of the brand as being a bit to hippy for my personal taste but after buying
couple of little things I kept coming back.
Although my personal style
is somewhere in between Audrey Hepburn and rocker-chic, or to be quite honest
totally bipolar at times, I tend to find bunch of fashion forward pieces of a
good quality, quite comfortable and fairly priced here.
While many things I buy when
discounted mostly due to cost of shipping and most of the times they do have my
size left at seasons end.
