Tranquilita de noche y de día.

Even though the sun is beating us to the ground here in Southern Califas.(and no, I'm not complaining!) that doesn't mean one can't dress up with all the fun fashion has to offer in the Fall. Fall has always been my closet's favorite time of the year. It means dressing up with more layers of clothing and putting on all my favorite winter coats and boots...and even though in the past years I've shied away from tall heel boots this year I'm embracing the "inner Amazon woman" and rocking high heels like the baddest bitch on the block.

My favorite accessory this fall is the bold statement necklace, particularly this statement necklace by Tranquiltelas. This particular color really compliments well with the color palette Fall is known for: Khakis, Browns, Military green.

On a last note, if you're like me, you probably would like to run over the holiday music like that reindeer did to Grandma. This has to be at least once on your Fall/Holiday playlist. "Night by Night" by Chromeo.

 What trends are your favorite during Fall?

I kiss boys and drink champagne...

Living in So. Califas, one has the advantage of having the fashion, sun and fun. But the best part of living in So Cal. THE MUSIC! The plethora of musicians that emerge from Southern California culture is amazing! The Doors, Cold War Kids, Sublime, Snoop, etc... Which is why my heart danced the one-two-step when I found out that one of my favorite local bands "Love Grenades" is part of "The Collaboration Series" by PAC SUN. The series allows upcoming photographers design custom shirts.
The designer, Taylor Brittenham , "is a Los Angeles based photographer whose subjects range from pop art to pop music", captured the bands' lead singer to create this limited edition tee. The shirt is only $18 and it allows you to show the whole world how much you like "Love Grenades"!

Happy 4th of July!

Have a fun, festive and safe holiday. Today we celebrate "independence" and everything American!  Happy Birthday U.S.A.! 

As much as I hate Bruce Springsteen, there's no better day than today to listen to this song!

Be safe guys :)

Red, White & Chic

 So the world cup didn't turn out quite the way U.S.A. wanted it to be... But hey! We're the United States of America, and tomorrow we celebrate the birth of our nation! Woot-Woot! Which means, bbq parties, friends/family, and fireworks to celebrate the fact that we are that powerful to not care about the world cup. 

Now your mind still might not be thinking what you will be wearing tomorrow, but here @ Rose Bow we have a couple of suggestions to make you look "Patriotic Chic" without looking like Tommy Hilfiger ad circa 1995.

Simple ideas to make yourself look a little more patriotic:

Baseball Cap:

What’s more American than allowing corporate conglomerates destroy 3rd word nation's economy Baseball? The baseball cap is an informal patriotic accessory and great for the weather :)

Plain White Tee:

Crisp, clean and white, the plain white Tee is an American fashion staple. Pair this tee with any jeans and you're as American as Apple pie. 

Bald Eagle:

What's more American than an actual endangered Bald Eagle? This is the accessory du jour! Bring this baby to a 4th of July BBQ, and you will most deffo be the most American bad-ass in the nation. You will bleed America, if not from Patriotism but caused by the eagle's claws. 

Check out this article from Fashionista.com to give you more suggestions on how you can add an extra U.S.A. flair to your 4th of July outfit.

What are you wearing for the 4th?

Ponte-Ponte-Ponte bomb!

Summer is here and I'm so excited. Finally I can let the sun kiss my skin and enjoy all the fashion summer has to offer. This is a quick little photo essay of things that I want this summer. Which include bikes, skull rings, Indian headbands, and a call for people to use more public transportation! I feel like bright colors are so passe this summer. Instead i'm trying to opt out for a more classic approach with color schemes. Putting color in small details of your outfit (like floral print docs or a glitter eye-liner) are some ideas to add some Summer flair to your outfit with out looking like a Pollock! 

The song I decided to put up is a cover of "Pump the Jam" by the always body groovin' Colombian band "Bomba Estereo".  I still haven't decided what this summer 's anthem is going to be but this is most deffo on this summer's playlist. Some of the pictures above are from random adventures i've taken in the past days and pictures I've picked from random websites. 

What's on your mind this summer?

Be. My. Boy.

Whether they would like to admit or not, men think about fashion just as much as women. And why shouldn’t they? Fashion does not have a preference for a specific gender. Fashion is UNISEX. Hell, I’ve even seen animals rock fashion better than humans!

Wayne Gross styled an incredible editorial for GQ Australia, to visually entertain us with outfits for each part of the fashionable man's quotidian routine. Whether it's taking his morning coffee, impressing clients, or attending a black tie-affair, these outfits are made up of key wardrobe pieces that most men might have in their closet-Making the outfits that much more easier to mimic and easier to be a fashion success.  

Personal favorite times: 8:06 a.m, 19:08 and the time he comes home to me ;)
