Now that you know about the Rock & Republic sale, brought to you by The Warehouse Sale (TWS), here’s the scoop on some items on sale: I was very curious as to what is actually being offered, so I broke into the TWS headquarters in L.A. Just kidding. The verdict: they are selling everything but shoes. These are not samples. Men’s and women’s jeans will go for under $80 on the first day. It’s R&R heaven in NYC!

Packing up at the L.A. warehouse: Rock & Republic tux blazer ($89.99), jeans ($79.99) and leather jacket ($79.99).
I also saw legions of gorgeous couture-worthy gowns taunting me on the racks, along with jumpsuits and even kiddie jeans. Shop early to nab the best selection of Rock & Republic goods. You’ll likely score big sinc everything is under $100. The buttery moto leather jacket I’m wearing in the picture above is retail at $398, but will go for $80. Swoon!
