Las Diosas Si Existen

Welcome to La Rose Archives.

I'm Rose and I was born to create beauty in the world. I enjoy working in the fashion industry. 🎀To me, beauty lives in our willingness to be beautiful on our own terms and style lives in how clothing carries meaning: where a piece comes from, how it's made, and the story textures-colors-silhouette tells when worn. 🫶🏽

It’s giving..Sporty diva!

Fashion notes: 🗒️

-Loving the pop of black to connect to the medium contrast of my dark brown hair.

-Loving the overall tonal/neutral palette of this look.

-Comfort is prioritized and yet we still can serve diva with print and texture.

-I don’t wear much faux fur in general let alone beyond chilly autumn winter and some spring days. However I love a good faux fur cuffs and collar moment over a full faux fur jacket or coat. It overpowers my petite frame and doesn’t resonate truly with my style essences.

-Lately I’ve been feeling less connected to leopard prints on clothing unless there’s another added element blended into the print like florals, some kind of embellishing, or very unique color story. I prefer it on accessories rather than clothing now.

-Leopard print is my least worn print in general, I’ve worn plaid-stripes-and dots more. Florals the most. I think that definitely signals that one of my style essences is leaning towards the romantic-ingenue-classic essences. I love the ferocity a leopard print can give when strategically positioned in my outfit/wardrobe.

“Pink is your favorite color huh?”

“I’m guessing your favorite color is pink!”

“Woah..pink is your favorite color I guess”

Yes.

People love to point out that I wear a lot of pink in my daily looks. People who have only barely just seen and experienced my existence, people who work with me and see me daily love to point this out. I don’t see that they are so well intentioned about it so I just say yes and move along. Sometimes it’s a micro aggression. Sometimes I can tell they’re just bored and trying to make small talk.

The sky is blue nearly everyday on clear days..yet do we pause and speak to the sky and say hey! You must really love blue! Yes I know not the most direct example but the point is, you see how you let the sky be blue, you accept it, it’s color is soothing, let me be too!

I mean, I don’t feel the need to comment on someone who only wears loose clothing or only wears black. Do you boo! I’d rather engage in a conversation about concepts, world events, social issues, community events, dreams (literally whatever did you dream of last night??) and feelings..

Honestly, I’m bored with their pink callouts as much as they might be annoyed or weirded out by my love of pink. What happened to appreciating people for their signature look or hobbies?

And this is why I love the trending collective appreciation for whimsy. We need softness and lightheartedness more than ever these days. Pink is that color for this intention. It’s a lifestyle as much as it is a design language.

Also some people use fashion very intentionally and as an equal parts manifestation tool.

Mood/Goals/Aspirations

Maybe some people just slap on things they like with a basic intention like “fancy” or “work” outfit. Maybe some people overthink their outfit and consider what others might think to the point of self limitation and in a way self sabotage.

Personally I’ve allowed myself the liberation of loving what I love. I’ve allowed myself the creative development of learning to see my body as is and celebrating it through specific silhouettes. I’ve allowed myself to dream and follow those dreams by dressing for the roles I was born to embody.

And yet all of it is still very intuitive!

I probably look like I think so hard about my daily outfits but girl… I don’t. I feel them. I only gather pieces that I love and will enjoy styling, sometimes they’re on trend sometimes they’re so not. And what I find no longer speaks to my essences, I let go with love and resell to someone who will find more joy in resonating with them and styling them.

Loving the process of intuitive and emotionally charged dressing..

Recent Depop purchase: A vintage Guess wallet!

What I like about this wallet:

1. Ostrich Emboss

2. The Neutral color story.

3. The script font silver hardware logo.

4. The snake embossed bow and patch overlay detailing.

5. The overall earthy/neutral dollette vibe (not the usual pink aesthetic, yet stilly very dolly-coded).

6. The resellers packaging and note. 🫶🏽🎀

Posting this because the images are all I have left. They are lost now :( I should’ve put them somewhere more safe, they were used as phone charms and since I’m always reaching for/moving my phone, naturally they got lost.

I love having versatility in my hair when wearing it natural or heat styling it.

Lately I’ve been feeling like shorter hair compliments my more playful side. I do not want to lose my length because long hair also looks great and compliments my style essence. So I’m just getting some more layers and a trim on my hair so it’s easier to style.

I customized my AirPods case with a beautiful shiny satin little bow 🩰🫶🏽

Sewed it on by hand of course.

My 30s really is a special era.

So much embodiment and confidence. Alignments. Literally. Got my fist chiropractic experience in my 30s. I’m not midway through and I already feel fabulous.
