Electric Daisy Carnival

Carnival folk have really never gotten a good rep. Maybe they just can't afford any GOOD press or maybe its because of all those weird side-show acts with freaks, that one often associates carnivals, with well...freaks. I mean there's:

• Cirque du Soleil
• Dark Carnival of Souls
• Carnival Cruise lines

But one carnival that has been getting a LOT of press (and good one too) is the Electric Daisy Carnival. A music festival (Read:Electronica Coachella), that for the past 13 years had been calling Los Angeles home, but after last year's drama of a 14 year old partying to death, the event has been moved to Las Vegas (mecca of debauchery).
Even though EDC is known for debauchery, mayhem and the most intense ravers you will ever meet, here @ROSEBOW we like to help you with some outfit inspirations for this weekend's Electric Daisy festival. Take cues from Models:

Someone is ready to do the Melbourne shuffle...

Shannon:

Cut off shorts are a must in the heat of the desert. Instead of bikini top try a bandeau or color crop top to add some color, while trying to get your tan on. A long-light flowly sweater might seem like a hassle to wear @ a festival but knowing you-you'll be so drugged up and  will forget the SPF 50 both your mother and I told you to take. The sweater will @ least keep your shoulders from melting off as well as not letting you look like a complete rave slut. :)

I see dem' denim shorts peeking :)

Cindy:
A long flowy dress is perfect to dance and prance around EDC. Not only is it easy to wear but you can easily sneak in your E-pill you will later be selling   another outfit underneath. Like denim shorts and a bikini top. Bring it all together with a belt, some Raybans (unless you rock the bloodshot) and you are ready to be the belle of EDC!

For those of you on-route to EDC, I'm super jelly I can't go this year, but if you were rich lucky enough to go, my musical suggestion is to check out ARAAB MUZIC:

Do you like Carnivals?

:NADA//DADA:

What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas? Or at least you better fucking pray like to hope so-(I mean, who really wants to see you Karaoke to Gloria Estefan's song on the bar, pretending to be sexy, all while spectators view your drunken glory-as you notice that what's really hanging out of your skirt, is your tampon). But of course, there is so much more to the cheapness, and taste-less one expects from Las Vegas. There is dancing fountains, monuments to the gaudi and my favorite, outlets.

And yet amidst the sea of tight cargo pants, Ed Hardy shirts and all the glitter, I found Mai. Mai is a student from Japan who was shopping the infamous Las Vegas outlets. What struck me about her outfit was that it was so appropriate for the weather in Vegas. Her brown silk jumpsuit played perfectly with the dry breezy winds of the desert, while her choice in color palate was a perfect contrast to all the colors everyone in Las Vegas O.D.'s on.

When asked what her inspiration was, Mai responded to a simple "Nothing". Although I will admit I did not like that response at first, it later made sense to me. Her DADA approach in fashion can be seen as her outfit itself is anti-fashion/anti-ordinary, not only to Las Vegas fashion but to life in general, and for that I salute you Mai. Thanks for being my Las Vegas fashion muse.

*Arigato!*

Voyeur: Das Las Vegas

Usually when people work @ a specialized clothing store they often THINK, that they look good. Workers at these shops eventually get lazy and just wear the name brand of the store, (here's looking @ you MetroPark employees!)
That was not the case when I walked into the Betsey Johnson boutique, located at the Miracle Mile mall in Las Vegas. Employees, Mindy Rim (Left) and Nina Ong looked beyond adorable and fashionable and both nenas were super nice!
Miss Ong went for a more classic look in all black, while keeping the outfit youthful with the black knee high socks. Miss Rim is donning a  Betsey Johnson shirt she turned into a dress by emphasizing her small waist with a nice black belt. Mindy said in regards to Betsey Johnson clothes "Betsey Johnson really knows women. She's amazing!"
Well I think both their outfits are amazing and kudos on being my fashion voyeur for Vegas!
