When bloggers meet

Inevitable? Perhaps. Actually, Lulu and I have been in surreptitious and sporadic internet contact for like..four years. But decided to finally set up that blind date after a revival of email contact, and I'm thinking it should have probably happened a lot sooner. Lulu is tiny, adorable, and the perfect person to lurk on street corners and strangers' stoops with. After fueling up on potentially deathly soy lattes, we set out to pretentiously and narcissistically frolic in search of ideal photo locations. Luckily, a sweaty jogger happened to glide by and offer to take 50 million photos of us. He only maybe believed that we're big on the internet.

We then had our hand in attempting to Sartorialize each other at an inconveniently busy intersection before pausing to linger on a doorstep to discuss the future and stuff.

I like this photo. That is me being artistic!

What good creepy internet blogger meet-up would be complete without a run through hipster paradise? We picked out cheese-tastic outfits for each other and giggled about in them until the girl working there told us we couldn't take photos. She did, however, like my boots.

Moral of the story: next time I wear this ridiculous skirt I am tucking my shirt in so as not to dare unflatter me so again.

Edit: Oops - forgot outfit breakdown! Fruit of the Loom T with sleeves cut off, Forever21 skirt (don't see it on the website anymore! probably still in stores?), H&M jacket, Marc Jacobs boots, vintage bag.

Lucy-Jane said...

It's nice to see photos of you smiling! haha. I just realised that in most of your other posts you don't smiley so much, and this post has proved that you have a beutiful smile.

emily said...

Paris Tarts said...

You both have awesome looks going here. I love Lulu's jacket and sweater combo..the red really pops and the shoes are unexpected. And Rumi...u made me laugh when I read that you had some sweaty guy take your pictures! Bold girls...really bold haha. Anyways. I love the looks and the newest post's heart glasses are to die for.

I love love love lulu. She is so tiny and cute.

Paris Tarts said...

Hey Rumi can you ask Lulu for her email so I can add her also?

lulu said...

I'm practicing my reading skills right now. Man... 4 years! We are definitive internet creeps. Its great.

Anon: My shoes are Nine West "Sulliban"s

Emily: Ok, so it doesn't help that I'm standing on a sloped sidewalk either. lol

Paris tarts: My email available on my blog profile :)

Tina said...

I looove your Marc Jacobs boots! How much were they?

Fashion Tidbits said...

gorgeous!!! fab pics and equally fab outfits. you guys are amazing!!!!

greenlady said...

rumi - love your outfit as always - don't know if its just me/im taking it the wrong way - but lulus blog (as excited as I was) seems quite nasty...I just don't know why you would take photos of people you don't even know and post them as 'fug' - other peoples choices/clothing options are no-one's business but their own, so maybe im taking it all the wrong way but this offended me on some deeper level really.....
You look gorgeous as always.

Anika said...

You guys really are the perfect match style-wise!

Miss at la Playa said...

you look you had so much fun!
Being the two of you so stylish I bet you had a lot to talk about, shops, vintage clothes...

Jenny said...

You two look perfect, I simply love your MJ boots.

Looks like you two had a blast together.

Anonymous said...

greenlady lulu's blog is AMAZING STYLE. and she does it with a sense of humour. i actually appreciate her blog very much.

Shirin said...

Hi!
just wondering, is this in San Francisco? Got home from a trip to the states (I'm from Norway) a month ago, and I sort of recognized the street, felt like i've walked there before or something !

Pinton said...

hehey.. you two also look very much alike!

Pamcasso said...

You two are great! Loved this!

Style Slicker said...

camille said...

Anonymous said...

is lulu wearing j brands in the photos?

Erika Obscura said...

Love LULU on chictopia. chictopia is a fun website too.

emily said...

LULU - sure, sure its the slope! hehe
no but really you have a tall aura on your blog which is why i was momentarily surprised

in any case, you two should definitely meet up more often and be sure to provide adequate blogpost documentation

Kate said...

you guys look so adorable. omg! you should open up a company or label or magazine or i don't know. so great!

sugarxnspice said...

this entry is so exciting! Even more than a new copy of VOGUE! Speaking of which, I think you 2 would absolutely make better editors than Wintour cos US vogue has been becoming sooo boring.

Anna Pope said...

Two of my favorite bloggers on one page, what more can I ask for? You both look amazing and too cute for words in the last set of pictures!

Bambi LaFru said...

Ahhhhh!! My two favorite fashion/style bloggers! I love it! =)

So wish I coulda been there as well!

xoxo

lulu said...

Anon: Yup, J Brands. 10" skinnies. I have them in black and dark denim. They are the end all and be all of skinny jeans.

Emily: hahaha thank you. I think I'm pretty well proportioned. That helps. And YES! I totally think its the slope and I will stick by that.

lauriza said...

Gorgeous pics! I finally got my MJ booties last week, and wore them for the second time yesterday... So, I fell wit my bicycle, and somehow THE OTHER HEEL BROKE OFF. I'm so pissed off, but keep it rocking hun!
