I love your pictures. Your a beatuful girl a you have agreat sense of style!!

But, do you have a secret for your amazing body?

I like very much this dress, the holding is perfect !

i love the blazer!!! just wondering if it was thrifted or new?

what a pimpish boyfriend! oh rumi dear, i thought you got style - in clothes maybe but obviously not in boys! he looks like a freaking abercrombie guy...burgh!

so that explains the jeans, but what about the horrible white tennies that do not match anything! get that boy some boots and a shirt, please. this isn't venice.

Forget about the rubbish some people makes about your bf!He is very hot!And so are you!You are both gorgeous :) Love your style!

It's cute that he knows the term "fashionista"

Do I hear the word- "project"? I think you're BF is nice looking enough but he definitely needs to be Rumified. How about more fitted jeans in a less obvious wash (maybe grey); a fitted (but not too fitted)black distressed/vintage soft V neck; some Johnny Depp type motorcyle boots; hair combed a bit more and let's lose the sunnies, and necklace. Potential, potential, potential.

i cant see almost every foto=(

Your outfit in this reminds me of an outfit recently suggested in Marie Claire. (I think this week's release for May.)

Linked you in my last post. You've been an inspiration.

PS. the photos are being difficult with loading.

anon 6:22 - the "horrible white tennies" have black stripes? if they're not adidas, they're certainly adidas-esque. a lot of the images are broken right now so i cant see them all. but regardless, rumi, what i like about these recent shoots is that you and your bf have a different sense of style.

It's cute that he was worried about wearing the same jeans, although I would've been more concerned with them being way too long? and that wash?? and those hideous shoes? I think you need to give him a makeover.


You look gorgeous though

Your pics are awesome! Contrary to some comments, I like your bf's style. He's a guy, for goodness sake. Two fashionistas does not a happy couple make! Thanks for the inspiration!

I agree, your bf is a hottie but in such a generic way. You have such an edge to your style you gotta edge him up as well! (I'm thinking The Strokes band memebers kind of style.) You look beautiful as usual.....and the blazer is AMAZING! Is it new?

You guys are such a cute couple. Great style both of you! Your bf is hot if you don't mind me saying. Just a bit too buff for me ;p

these pictures are so creative. :] I don't care what everyone else says; I think you guys make a perfect couple, stylish or not.

Some of you are foul human beings pretty easy to judge someone elses partner behind a computer screen, let see a pic of yours, if you have anyone. You look amazing as usual Rumi. The dress is gorgeous. Shame its sold out everywhere in the u.k. xoxo

Love love your blog! Just a quick question: what size is your RL blazer? I'm looking to get one myself online, but I don't know which size would be best. Thank you!

Did you get those oxfords recently or are those the preforated ones from a while back??

Just wanna say you're definitely the most interesting blogger out there! Love fashiontoast, love you :)

Greetings from Germany

Love this outfit! Your boyfriend is douchey looking but the two of you together make a great couple. Nice to see a couple in love :)

I love your blog! Your fashion sense is amazing--I'm getting my girlfriend a dress from you store.

I can relate to your boyfriend--my style is generic. What's important is that he cares for you and that accept each other for who one another is.

Your outfit is great as usual and you 'worked' that yellow dress really nicely!
And i agree with anom 9.48
I'd hate to think fashion sense is the only thing someone would consider in a partner for everyone else that left negative comments!

I love the Ralph Lauren blazer! I need to get one.

Your boyfriend dresses so corny.

I'm not quite sure why so many commenters (I think I made that word up) are hating on your boyfriend's style. I think you two are adorable together and he looks great.
What a cute couple. Gorgeous people.

Hi Rumi, Is there a way of compacting your photos? They take a long time to load... Or is it just because of high site traffic?

Love your blog btw. :)

i. am. so. scared. of. him.

First of all, I love the photoshoot! You always look amazing.. and I love that FCUK dress! I might just have to get one myself.

Also, I think that you and your boyfriend are so cute together! The negative comments were pretty rude. I don't think it matters what he wears, I mean he's not the one writing the fashion blog.

hiii i love these pictures!! awesome photo shoot!! i WISH bf would take pics like these, let alone pose with me!!

anyway he is super hot and anyone who said negative things about his shoes ( hes an effing guy!!!) is retarded!!

i LOVE the dress, and am now considering getting it, maybe in another color though..

i love your blog, you look gorgeous as always. ive said it before, but you have to look into modeling!!

stephanie

hey dude! remember how I said I wanted to be a model on your blog/store...yeah well not so much anymore. Some "fashion heads" can be mean. I kinda had some issues with people making fun of your BF's style (I'm going to call your BF Caldwell for the intents and purposes of this post)

I'm kinda tired of people saying that everyone should be wearing skinny jeans that are perfectly tailored. First - you shouldn't be wearing skinny jeans unless you are SKINNY. Have you ever seen a big dude with skinny jeans - it's confusing to say the least. For those of you that said he should dress like "The Strokes" - have you seen the strokes? Those fools are damn near immaciated and European. Caldwell is neither. He's got a classic American look and therefore should stick to that style. We like baggy jeans here and I for one am not going to give in to the latest style.

And why do all jeans have to be dark washes now? Do we all just have to throw away our old torn up, light wash, 80's throwback jeans? Cause if so then I need new jeans. Dark jeans are great for going out at night but when you don't want to be dressed up lighter washes better suit the occasion. I think Caldwell's jeans fit perfectly with the theme of the shoot - kinda a throwback to boybands and girls from the early nineties.

What people don't seem to understand is that men's fashion should be subdued. Our style should not scream out to you like women's fashion. It's also about how you wear it too. Some times you can tell when a guy is trying too hard - you see that really weird, abstract graphic tee that means nothing plus that blazer on top or maybe with a vest - a really nice watch - immaculately messy hair - those effeminate tight jeans with an "R" or a "7" on the back pocket. This is what passes for good style now. We gotta stop copying Justin Timberlake and think outside what we see on TV. Every time I've gone out I've seen at least 10 guys with this look. And yes, I'm guilty of doing this as well – although the tees I wear are funny.

Men are supposed to be rugged and masculine. When it comes to fashion we shouldn't tear down traditional stereotypes but subtley change the mold (like Caldwell's glasses and wrist thingy). Like I said earlier its about how you wear it and not making things forced. Most importantly it’s about wearing things that fit. Yes, Caldwell jeans are baggy but they aren’t sloppy. T-shirts shouldn’t be too small or too large. Blazers should be fitted perfectly for the body type…you get the picture.

Lastly, those of you who are secretly hoping that Caldwell is a douchebag…I’m going to have to burst your bubble and tell you he’s not. He’s actually really smart and completely awesome to hang out with. Not at all a dull, meathead jock. I’m glad that one of my best friends has finally found a nice guy to be paired with.

No one says he should dress like a skinny hipster. He's not the body type for that type of style, but there are plenty of other ways he can look good. The way he currently dresses is awful though, he looks like a mix of NJ guido and LA douchebag. I'm grateful he's not wearing an Affliction tshirt with that cheesy outfit.

Get a decent pair of classic jeans in the Levi's 501 cut, without any dumb prefades and holes. Or better yet, some nice dark trousers. Leave your overly tight tanktop in the gym and dress with some dignity.

You look pretty damn embarassing.

Damn, you people are so critical, mind showing your face from behind the computer screens? Sorry not everyone subscribes to Mens Vogue and watches fashion trends passionately. Get over it. Rumi, your boyfriend is perfectly fine. He's not trying to hard and its a nice change for once.

PS: Haters to the far left corner

Some of the comments posted, especially the one above, are apalling and really quite pathetic. Instead of hiding behind an alias, post photos of your own boyfriends (if you have one) and then wait for a barrage of comments like the ones you are providing.

Give the guy the kudos he deserves. Spending a Sunday taking photos for his girlfriend's blog that we all enjoy reading. I'm sure that if it wasn't for him, many of the photos of Rumi's outfits wouldn't be posted for us to drool over.

Rumi and co, I hope you don't take any of the comments seriously, as they deserve to be laughed at. You both look great as always, and I hope you both stick to your signature styles.

Oops, the reference to the 'comment above' was meant for 6:18.

I think most of the pathetic stupid comments are due to the teen vogue feature. Silly girls who think they know it all.

Ah I adore your dress!!! You and your bf are amazingly hot! I like both of your outfits, it suits you well and again you guys are pure hotnesssssssss:-)
Beautiful pictures....

I agree maria. 6:18 lets see your significant or you for that matter, alas we probably won't because the dreary sad truth hurts. Rumi & Her Bf & Their Confidence & Style >>>>>>> You sitting behind a screen, anonymous & alone.

How cute that you guys are both modeling together hehe!

I've been lurking around for quite some time to try to find a little inspiration from you every now and then. I love a lot of the outfits you put together but lately I think you've lost your touch. Maybe it's because of the move.

I have black socks just like those from Forever 21. They sure don't look as good on me as they do on you though! Hopefully I'll find something that works with them. I've been dying to wear them out!

But anyway, I like how you are much more modest than your boyfriend. I don't think your boyfriend's jeans are as bad as his wifebeater! I hate it when guys walk out in wifebeaters. It screams trashy, or very typical of the low-class. It's not a shirt! I give him props for not stepping out with flip flops though. That would've been worst!

TOOO many pictures in this entry. You need to cut down a little, girl! I just don't want your blog to lose its charm.

The B/fs style was disapointing. Wife beeters are meant to be worn underneath your shirt. Although it is pretty dangg cute that he willingly spent his sunday taking pictures with you.

Are people forgetting that this blog is about Rumi, and not her boyfriend? The outfit credits are for Rumi and he is never in the foreground in the photos. He is an accessory to the shoot (a very nice one I may add), but that's all. It's appropriate to comment on his style if he had a blog of his own that he posted photos of himself up.

Your man is the perfect accessory to that sunny dress or any dress for that matter! Who needs shoes?

hey ya'll, please stop it with the "post a picture of your boyfriend" thing. Not all of the readers are straight women.

I tend to think it's rude to comment negatively on people's styles. However, it doesn't mean they are attacking Rumi's boyfriend per se.

I personally don't find his style very appealing either, and i think it looks kind of strange in context with Rumi's style, but that doesn't mean i disapprove of their relationship.

And please don't even start with the thing about how men are supposed to be "rugged and masculine."

oh and thanks thefriar for the bit about only skinny people wearing skinny jeans.

let's just call all the haters fat and lonely- that will redeem our opinions of his style.
sorry, feelin a little sassy today.

8.03 are you blind or just living in a delusional world, most of the comments on her bf were rude and the reason why most of her loyal readers are shocked. Clearly you are a hater because you felt the need to comment on those that were called out. Let see if your 'sassiness' brings you to comment again. I wouldnt be suprised if you made up half of the anon comments.

what camera do you take your photos with? :)

Let me start by thanking every one of you who read my girlfriend's blog, I know it means a lot to her and your comments and input are always appreciated. Let me also thank all of you who have come to my defense in one way or another throughout the day, and to all who enjoyed the entry for what is was; a scenic find on a nice day to compliment a great dress. To all who felt the need to criticize me or my so-called style, I will take note of your opinions and promise to join a band as soon as possible. And next time I fly out to visit my gf for a weekend I will keep all of you in mind and absolutely pack a stellar outfit just in case I decide to step out from behind the camera and have a whole lot of fun with my girlfriend before I head to the airport.

And to 4:58 I am really really sorry for frightening you. Really.

To thefriar, thanks "Ronaldson" i really appreciate all that you had to say and the last paragraph meant a lot. We definitely need to get together and watch the dogs run while sipping tea...soon...

Your blog is fantastic, I really liked the photos! :-)

this is a fashion blog, so i understand that there is some criticism despite the bf.

so to all of you defenders: i think he can handle that...i mean he wouldn´t probably appear on this blog otherwise.

i like the idea of this blog..the idea of fashion and rumi..and not of the presentation of private things such as a bf on 800 pictures and being a kissing couple. thanks

Hey Rumi,

First I just want to say thank you for an amazing blog that has a huge following- you are edgy, beautiful and really funny in your writing.

I can only assume that you put up so many pictures of you and the BF because you had so much fun doing those shoots. It reminds me of a video I made with my girlfriends when we went camping and only we thought it was hilarious throughout the entire video, but my BF didn't get it as he wasn't present. I only say this as your previous posts don't have that many shots of the same outfit. Was it a "you had to be there" moment? Either way- I really appreciate your work.

On the BF tip- I think being a public forum, you do run the risk of rude people not articulating themselves well. You can't judge a person by what they wear. But if I was to, I would say you seem like an awesome girlfriend as you haven't imposed your style on your partner- you just accept his style and seem proud of him regardless how different he is from you- that is really sweet.

Your fabulous darling and having haters is all part of being an up and coming.

it might just be the mood i'm in but i'm finding a lot of these comments really funny.
anyway, i like how the bf's sunglasses match your dress, such a cute touch and way more tasteful than, say, matching crocs. which, unfortunately, i happen to see a lot of. ahem. sorry. a little bitter.

To: Alias, Rumi's boyfriend

I would take all the haterish comments as a compliment since I guarantee 9-something percent of them have a girl-crush on Rumi and are pissed you got 'er.

You have a funny way of writing too, btw.(PS I love the way Rumi writes)

To Rumi: Umm what else. Love this blog. It makes me happy. And gives me inspiration...its nice to see someone's clothes who reflets them. I think thats what makes Rumi's clothes stand out and shine, so to speak...it seems as if she dresses like who she is, as opposed to..something else.

But yah, you guys look great, and both have awesome writing styles which indicate a good sense of humor.

OK. I feel like I just wrote a book ahaha.

I loove the shoot Rumi. I also wondered how you were gonna pair the dress and I love the school girlish look! I also loove the wreckage. As far as the negativity I am not going to even feed into that energy. Rumi you and your man are rocking! I love your blog so much I linked it to mine tonialexis.blogspot.com

cant wait for the next post!

xoxo

I think maybe the issue people are having with this is that it feels a little awkward looking at what should be private intimate photographs, fashion we love, coupley photos kissing... not so much!

That said there is way too much negativity on here, you have a lovely style, and your b/f's is very different, nothing wrong with that at all. Mine is nothing like my b/f's either, we both dress very differently.

Ignore the jealous comments, and do what you do best, putting us all to shame with your icely put together outfits!

Nicely not icely lol

omg people are mean
you both look lovely
regardless of what everyone says
and no you don't want a boyfriend who looks like a girl keep him as he is do not dress him in drainpipes your both lovely
your an inspiration
such good taste

You're both adorable. I love your blazer!!! Have to say - your bf is hot. Looks like he works out:)

This series certainly is big enough to be an entire spread in a magazine. I love the contrast of your fancy yellow dress and the broken TV set.

Rumi: Your outfit is great! But I can't help commenting on Caldwell's outfit - after all, he is accessorizing to match you, is posing, and is essentially, modeling fashion.

Caldwell: Being defensive and saying that the only way you'll please the readers is by dressing like a band member or wearing skinny pants is not only close-minded, but wrong because 1.) you neglected to entertain the fact that they could be right and 2.) no one ever said you need to dress a certain way. If your outfit was normal in a way that was not offensively awful, readers probably would not have commented. Unfortunately, your outfit is offensively awful, and it doesn't matter if it was a hot day or if you were just lounging around. You don't just look bad, you look unrespectable and like someone who is uneducated and unintellient. Someone above described it as NJ Guido and LA douchebag. Those are pretty offensive terms, but...it's true. I'm sure you are a great person, but our exterior needs serious help. Most of us aren't trying to just be mean - we are giving constructive criticism.

To Adrienne @ 6:30 PM,

His ("Cladwell's" / Rumis BF's) comment was tongue-in-cheek and dripping with dead-pan humor. Although, I am sure he thoroughly appreciates your insightful comment. :-) Let's not take life too seriously, shall we?

Moving on...

Rumi, I miss your posts!

--K

oh adrienne .. get a life!! i co-sign on missing rumi posts. i hope all the nonsense hasn't sent you on blogging hiatus.

WOW
rumi, you're such a sweatheart.
with a plethora these negative comments that are undoubtedly uncalled for, you nevertheless remain your sweet, logical, and inhostile self. seriously. im pleasently surprised at your level of maturity when handling such ridiculously rude comments. you always come off as cool and confident, which is soso inspirational to me, maybe now even moreso than your absolutely amazing style.
and this is just my two cents, but you and your boyfriend are the most gorgeous couple ever. nothing needs to change, and whoever thinks so should get lost because they and their boyfriends can't even begin to compare to you.
k just needed to reaffirm how great of a persona you exude. :) i really appreciate you sharing the pictures you did but unfortunately a rude minority ruined it for the rest of us. i'm glad, however, that you could just brush it off and realize how insignificant and to put it simply, dumb such comments are.

Christina you said: "Let see if your 'sassiness' brings you to comment again. I wouldnt be suprised if you made up half of the anon comments."

Why do you need to be so mean? I was pointing out that there is no need to fight the haters by hating back. It's pointless. This whole thing is ridiculous.
Was there some huge misunderstanding or do you feel threatened by what I said? Seriously, your reaction makes little sense to me.
-"Anon 8:03" or whatever

Rumi

You are a doll and I would love to see more of you and your boo! If people dont like it they can go elsewhere! I mean this is your space and that shoot was adorable! Everyone has their personal style and if someone doesnt like it tough luck. I happen to like when men look like they didnt spend more time in the mirror than I did! I love how you put the outfit together! Rockon

Toodles

Your legs are soooo nice :)

Rumi I am so sorry that you had to delete all those aweful comments. But unfortunately this is a public forum therefore displaying your boyfriend puts him in harms way. Although readers should be commenting on your style not what their opinion of your boyfriend is. And please put your other blazer up for auction!

Rumi,
I'm so sorry you had to respond to all of these losers that are so quick to criticize. People forget that words hurt. You and your bf are *creating* not just sitting around commenting and doing *nothing.*

Keep on doing what you are doing. I think it's so stupid that just because you dress the way you do, suddenly your bf has to look like the Strokes. WTF? How boring.

I really love your blog and you're original. So many people try to copy you but you are a rising superstar.

congrats on your blog and success. :)

Awsome! The dress is like the cutest I've ever seen. And the pics are lovely. Lady, how do you do it?

Omg I've just came across your blog and I must say that it's fantastic. Your gorgeous and have lovely legs. Def model material.

Your style is almost as hot as your boyfriend!

Great style but not digging your frat boy Abercrombie boyfriend too much.

homegirl, you are FIERCE. :D
