Rubi de la Ropa’s the style bar was founded by Tina Antarakis, a Sydney-based fashion stylist and buyer, who has been honing her skills with apparel, accessories and cosmetics in the fast-paced corridors of local and international fashion houses since 1994.
Intended as a space where those in need of fashion advice can come to have their dilemmas addressed and to learn about style without the attitude and lack of realism for which the industry is so well known, Tina’s alter-ego Rubi draws upon her in-depth knowledge to write about what the modern consumer really wants to know about style.
Kasta muchas gracias for your feedback – always nice to hear from a happy reader!
In the spirit of knowledge gathering, I have just posted a little piece on the lovely ballet flat for your enjoyment.

The style bar has me hooked. It has opened my eyes to the possibilities of the current fashion trends which I have been noting with dismay for some time. Hooray.
Could this be some excitement I sense for my next shopping trip? Something which I would normally approach with dread and a good sense of boredom?!
Thanks Style Bar.
PS Methinks my spur of the moment purchase of patent school blue flats was not so silly after all. I must read on to find out what to wear them with!
Onwards with knowledge, the gatherings of a teenzy bit of style, and a dash of good luck…
De nada Prue glad I got you over the smock shock…I also love your mule idea, especially if they happen to be of the wedge variety (a personal favourite of Rubi’s)…and while it’s still cool you can also keep your legs warm with some leggings and knee high boots as an alternative to jeans…
……. Muchas Gracias Rubi
Loved the Little Smock of Horrors.. I have been eyeing the smock trend and wondering how I can avoid the 80’s “Darryl Lee” look… and you really helped me get that smock into the change room….
I bit the bullet and found a yummy arabesque inspired pattern – high colar smock – Im wearing it with jeans and snake skin boots today… Thinking a little mini spring smock frock with the madras mules ….
