Any voyage experience should inspire curiosity, what good are they if not to explore and discover the unknown. On a recent voyage to my inner self I explored and discovered several things only a cleansing and spiritual journey can give you. This journey was truly enlightening finding my animal spirit//true self. But instead of finding wisdom and light I found hate, darkness and self loathing. (What journey isn't complete with a little self-loathe-right?) I quickly realized and came to terms that's those so called demons  were just "problems" from a mere mortal point of view. I changed my view and was inspired to view my problems from the perspectives of the ultimate celebrities: God, Gods and Goddess. My journey had lead me to discover the divine in me.
            What truly makes a person divine is an ethereal glow to their aura  isn't so much a physical characteristic, but in the  way they compose themselves with harmony with all mortals, animals and creatures of the universe. This sense of harmony is an interaction done with everyone and everything but most importantly within themselves.
My voyage today has me understanding the divine lives in me and inspires me in my decisions and actions of my everyday life. And although I fall from grace from time to time (Goddess' DO NOT eat at taco bell-but I do-tee hee!) that reality check of failure is part of the human experience.
 Maybe it's the mescaline that hasn't worn off, the warm summer breeze that has me feeling divine but here at Rose Bow we like for you to feel the love too. A few tips to feel like a Goddess: Positive attitude towards everyone and everything, getting an apartment in Mount Olympus and crowning yourself with a headpiece from Diosa Headpieces.

Be You. Be Divine. Be Diosa.

It's a sad, sad, sad day when you realize something negative about yourself. Maybe one day you wake up on the wrong side of the wrong bed and come to the realization that you are completely and utterly flawed. You realized your human side...YOU ARE A VICTIM. The epiphany of error happens to us all, and when it does, it's nobody's fault but yours. Are you a victim of your own creation or fate? These existential thoughts have plagued many of us at some point in our mortal lives. But the secret in succeeding is a really good P.R. team the will and power to continue and fight back to not become just another victim.

Take Zahia Dehar for example. France's gossip mademoiselle du jour. She was involved in a scandal at the "age 17, she was reportedly bought for a night by a team member to be Franck Ribéry’s birthday present."  Fast forward two-years later and the infamous "call girl" is debuting as a designer of (you guessed it) Haute Couture Lingerie-and as if that wasn't the cat's meow, it made it's debut at the end of this year's Paris Fashion Week!
The line involves provocateur outfits that would make any ho scream in happiness. Big Pink bows, frilly almost not-there tops, and even a nod to mother nature herself, with garden flower panties. Did I mention her debut look book was taken by no other than the Kaiser of Fashion himself, Karl Lagerfeld! Check the video out for her latest collection and decide whether or  not she's still a victim.

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?

The Forest

I'm always on the look out for aesthetic stimulation. Whether it's a dress, a new art exhibit or even just a moment in time. Recently I've been going back to my roots and looking towards nature for inspiration. Going to the forest or any green environment let's me recharge my batteries that the city has drained. 

Another way the forest can inspire you is by watching Colombian-based duo THE FOREST and their live performance art. The visual candy that is this art-band incorporates their love for art and the surreal. "They wrapped their audience in a visual act that bathes them in lights, color and experimental music". So next time the 405 has you on the verge of going postal-CHILL-take a break, and leave towards nature.

Are you lost in the Forest?

Joie Noir

Everyone has a dark side-It might not come up as often as some, but deep down, all of us are dark creatures who embrace evil from time to time. And maybe this sudden wind of dark inspiration has come from stress, rejection, my new voodoo shaman friend my occasional side job, catering at the historical L.A. land mark, the Edison. The interior of the Edison is dark, mysterious and enchanting-sort of like that guy you met last month at the M Bar. (R.I.P. M BAR!)

Wearing an all black outfit might seem like a flattering choice, but you really don't want to look like  Steven Seagal or have people confuse you for being part of the Edison catering service. Its always good to add a touch of color to your dark outfits. Subtle and dainty, like a delicate lingerie bralette that peeps through a crop top or even a sweater that has subtle color in it. Take cues from models Cindy & Shannon:
