The second law of thermodynamics and the first law of Nelly lyrics hold that ambient heat and clothing have an inverse relationship. Disturb the natural order with today's Groupon: for $50, you get $100 worth of apparel from Rock & Republic's last warehouse sale in Culver City. Choose between the following options:

• Shop Friday, February 25–Sunday, February 27. Doors open at 9 a.m. each day. Large crowds and lines are expected.
• Shop Thursday, February 24 from 5 p.m.– 9 p.m. This is "Friends and Family Night," with far smaller crowds and speedier checkout.

During its final, four-day warehouse sale, Rock & Republic will offer reams of chic gear up to 90% off regular prices. The club-ready duds complement both manly and ladylike forms, with sleek denim jeans that keep legs primed for impromptu dance-offs and stubborn jar-opening roundhouse kicks ($40–$70). Fashion plates can pair these stylish raiments with elegant footwear ($25–$100) or torso-sheathing tops ($5–$30), as well as dramatic, wink-worthy cosmetics ($5–$20). Prepare your offspring for fierce playground walkoffs with stylish, comfortable designer kids' wear ($5–$30). The Warehouse Sale also offers eyewear, a pet collection, Rock Racing gear and current season items from the retail store on Robertson Boulevard.

The public sale runs Friday–Sunday and is expected to draw big crowds, but Rock & Republic will have more cash registers open than in years past, facilitating ease of wardrobe growth. Shoppers wishing to bypass the throngs of weekend retail warriors can opt to do their vestment perusing during the exclusive "Friends and Family Night" on Thursday evening.
