Out & About : Date Afternoon

SO you've been with your beau for 5 years now, and the last time you went on a 1-on-1 was... wait.
What do you mean you don't remember?

We say it's time to spice things up in the love department. And because its always so much nicer to wake up bright and early on your days off, we'd ditch the usual Date Night routine, and do a Date Afternoon. We're thinking lots of cafe hopping (we're singling out Penny University, Wimbly Lu & Tiong Bahru Bakery), swinging by Public Garden mid-afternoon (there's one happening this weekend!), and then winding down the evening at a Movie Mob screening.

To the Screening of : THE GREAT GATSBY

We really like being housed in a cineplex: We're always the first to know when new movies are released, and always inspired by the buzz that comes from big/good/innovative films. This time round, the one that is getting us all geared up has to be The Great Gatsby. Despite the varying reviews, we are completely sold by their over-the-top trailer. 
The glitz, drama, and extreme decadence of the roaring 20's is so captivating. While we're decades late, how fun to relive the era (in our 3D glasses no less) for one night.  To complete our inspiration, we've put together our best Great Gatsby ensemble for you: From the cutest art-deco necklace, gold leather tote, to the smartest suede shoes and handsome well-cut shirts.

And while you're at it, we found this super cute tutorial on grasping the Charleston dance. Did somebody say after-party?

New + Restocks : The Vamoose

Behind the scenes - making of the Hammered Brass Necklace


Hammered Brass Necklace, inspired by 16th century armour and baroque interiors


Layered Metal & Gemstone Necklace


Black Lavastone Necklace, Gemstone & Metal Bracelets

Mixing inspiration from natural history and a colour palette drawn from Mother Nature (from the rich colours of limestones to the cool hues of the glacial landscape), Kathryn Blackmore translates these to gorgeous pieces from her jewellery line - The Vamoose.

Delicately strung by hand in a studio up in the United Kingdom, she pairs baby-hued pastel gemstones with metals, and gold chains with hammered brass parts (actual factory deadstock) in a way that we could only dream about. We love how these sit amongst the drapes and ruffles of our favourite chiffon blouses. For special occasions.

Rockstar's Annual Festive Market : SHINE ON!

Hey you,

How did your year turn out?

We've had a big year. Our team grew, we introduced new products we're very proud of, put in good hours running Rockstar, enjoyed assisting you, and putting together a good show in the store.

Behind the scene, it was intense.

You would have seen us all: From C the buyer, E the creative director, S the operations manager, to the rest of us splashing out our different skills for the company from visual merchandising, administrative, marketing, research to accounting. We usually play hard, but this year we worked so damn hard. A special shout-out too, to our super part-timers who've always got our back.

In the same year, we convinced you that saying no to plastic bags and having a reusable-bag with you at all times can be something cool. We gave Toms away (the shoe label that has changed the face of social enterprise), played Motown music to you, and brought you the fabulous Superga shoes.

No matter how the year went, let's celebrate. We have all made it this far! As always, we'll love for you to wrap up the year with the nicest gifts you could give to people who matter.

Wishing you happy holidays,

The Rockstar team

The most show-stopping collection of shiny TOMS shoes.

The original foldable and extremely portable sunglasses from Sunpocket. Hugely popular all over Europe in the 80’s, they were the sunglasses to be seen in amongst adventurous sportsmen to the cool yuppies.

Handsome leather goods from Harlex, a husband and wife team based in Hong Kong. They use only the most genuine of materials - with a focus on vegetable-oil tanned cow skin, and lamb skin accented by cotton canvas.

Alphabet prints, books on design and cooking, and the most luxurious gift box sets from Moleskine.

A Christmas-edition bottled garden special from Paperus, created just for our Festive Market!

An exquisite collection of jewellery from The Vamoose, a one-woman operation created and maintained by Kathryn Blackmore from the UK.

You know we have a thing for art prints. There are new artists, cute festive cards, and the most beautiful illustrated calenders to mark the new year with.

SHINE ON! is happening from now until 25 December, Christmas Day.

P.S. We've got complimentary gift wrapping, and there will be new products arriving every week leading up to Christmas, so you might really have to keep coming back!
