Blouse, shorts, and cuff, vintage. Heels, Oh Deer.
Totally the craziest thing ever. Perhaps a bastard love child of this and this? It's too bad (really, really too bad) that I don't have the Balmain moccasin booties to properly channel the bad-ass-ness that could be going on here. It seems like every fall sequins (along with plaid, always a fuss over plaid) are touted as some groundbreaking trend but I kind of love them always. It's still an even 80 degrees every day here so I can't break out the lamé leggings/black funnel neck coat/ankle sock/crazy sandal experiment I'm envisioning but I've always thought that the glitz is offset pretty well by destroyed denim too. Actually, I'm pretty sure that I think everything matches denim shorts. It's okay though, it seems like I'm the only one in the blogosphere that actually loves summer and I'm going to relish every last sticky, sandy second of it.
The only sad thing about this blouse is that it's just the tiniest bit too short to wear as a dress. Even for my (non-existent) standards. I feel like I've been over-wearing my Chloe wedges so I made myself go for these Oh Deer Louboutin knockoffs instead. Not seen since the early days of the blog, when coincidentally, I was wearing plaid. And..denim shorts.
If you're getting bored of studio shots, don't worry because my beloved is returning from Rome in mere hours. Exciting stuff. And he is apparently bringing me crazy fierce Italian cuffs or something. Sweet. Thanks again to all my friends who helped me out with photographs!

You're such an inspiration for me !
This blouse is gorgeous! Btw, I just saw your previous post too, and that skirt looks about identical to a garment i have! Very cool. I'll post a picture as soon as my new heels arrive :)
Love the Balmain reference. Question: have you found any suitable moc bootie knock offs yet?
I can never find those type of awesome tops thrifted :s...love the look

Wow! Amazing and awesome stuff!

Great sweater, and the way you've styled it is brilliant I think.
hey rumi can we trade links? i lovelovelove your style because you can totally rock something crazy like that! those shoes are adorable too!
No Rumi, you are not "the only one in the blogosphere that actually loves summer and is going to relish every last sticky, sandy second of it." ;) Florida stays "Summer" pretty much all the way until almost December (sometimes January!) with only a few days that get cold, few and far between. So, I won't be breaking out too many sweaters, coats or boots, until, then unfortunately. Unless, I decide to do so just for the sake of craving to wear them anyway, despite what the thermostat reads. ;)
PS: Do you know when those ankle booties will become available to the public?
you look gorgeous again!
I thinK i have to agree with you... summer is the best and so are denim shorts!!! going to class in them is the best. i wish i could work in them too!!!
and i looooove your shoes! are they comfy?!
OOOO Love the sequined top and the shoes go perfect with it :)
Stunning, love the shirt...And cut- off Levis just always look great.
you are the only one, that can like make denim shorts look incredibly fashion-y.
need that top
need those boots! do you remember what style they are? maybe i could find them, somewhere, somehow..
..actually, nevermind! i found the name. lol, duh, google is like a god sometimes. anyway, thanks yet again for the inspiration
This is amazing. I love the whole look. Your blog inspires me to try harder when it comes to getting dressed.

and you probably won't post this because I've never seen a negative comment posted on your blog.

i like the studio shots!!

x x x
Can I ask what ethnicity you are?
You have such a unique look about you, so gorgeous!
Your sense of style is desireable.
That blouse is hideous. I'm in love. And 100% jealous of your ability to rock even the most ridiculous things and make them seem totally chic.
Rumi you're gorgeous! If I was a designer, i'd dedicate a bag to you, like really.
love,
highdee
Okkkkkkk I've walked by so many tops like that at thrift stores and never thought of the possibilities. You look Cali-Chic!...But my big question is WHERE ARE YOU FINDING THESE VINTAGE LEVIS!!! I was born for them...please give me some fyi? :(
sad pandaz
Tart
Rumi, you should really visit williamrast.com.
There's this pretty cool trailer on there strring juston timberlake and your favorite Erin Wasson!
Just thought you should know, and If you already did, just dissregard this comment.
=)
so amazing---as always!!
I was just looking at the december 2007 album and your hair looked sooo pretty. It looks less full now, did you switch your regime? sorry if thats rude, I just noticed it.
it all sounds very intriguing, but i can't see anything here!
cliffhanger!
clearly it's just me who can't see the pics as those guys didn't seem to have a problem..
hmm
rumirumirumi
Hi Rumi! I have a couple of questions I hope you can answer. =) Thanks s much...
1) How do you wash your F21 leather jacket? It's faux right?
2) Are your CS studded boots comfy? Is it real leather?
You are sooo beautiful that literally ANYTHING can look good on you. Or rather - YOU make everything look good.
With that said, your outfit SUCKS, but you're so gorgeous that I bet no one looks at what you wear anyway.
im soo ready for fall
i hate summer right now
ok, so today i went to the aa factory in downtown with a few friends and at the end of the tour somehow the tour guide started talking to me about you and how amazingly fabulous you are. all of this when i never even told him i have a blog. he just knew i guess and definitely knew you. you're kind of a big deal! :)
btw, love the grandma sequin top.
you can buy pretty much exact balmain boots at Zara, about 100$ or so. amazing. i bought them, need to find something to wear them with though.
I´m loving every bit of it :)
as a fellow san diego girl, i LOVE summer too. and this top. as a lover of all things 80s and sequined... im very jealous.
also i just started my own blog, check it out and feel free to link me. i already have you on my blog roll :)
heads or tails
I think the fact is that in Cali there is always summer, at least it seems so for us Europeans. I would enjoy the every bit of summer as well, if it was any warmer in here. I guess you have to go with whatever you get, so its back to fall basics for us..I wish I could still wear shorts...You definately make every outfit rock!
Love your look. (:
hello rumi ! Was wondering how much it would be to ship the Jennie Dress: (Free flowing multiprint easy fit dress with button-down torso and pleated skirt.)from your shop in the US to singapore ? And I don't have paypal so do you advice me to send you the cash via mail (in an envelope ? :O) ? Haha I really love the dress ! Hope that I can fit though , I'm a uk8-10 :D Thanks ! Do email me back at coolbudz@hotmail.com regarding this :) IM A HUGE FAN !! And hopefully I can buy more stuff from you soon :) Thankyou !
Cute top, you're one of the few people that can pull things like that off.
I'm glad you're boyfriend is returning, I was starting to miss those great shots of his.

Hey I saw your blog linked on a friends blog and looked through a couple of posts of yours. I have to tell you that I too think Erin Wasson is pretty fantastic- effortless and simple; she has something in her that makes her THAT effortless. You my dear are NOT Erin Wasson or effortless. No matter how you just throw your outfits together in a minute. You are methodical about looking like her. I don't know if someone said you reminded them of her or what. You took it and ran away with it, huh? I hope I run into you in SF soon and witness these horrible outfits live in action I need a good laugh.
All your designer shoes are hideous as well! Just because they are name brand and DISCOUNTED doesn't mean they are fabulous...They were just on sale! Are you going to post this comment? OR do you only post comments of praise?
I own those studded ankle boots. I love them. They are super hot. I love wearing mine with skinny black dress pants, a high funnel neck jacket and, a matching huge pyramid belt.... sometimes I'll wear a pair of matching black fingerless gloves with pyramid studs.
where are u taking all your photos? it looks like its in a studio, or something.. :) ?
Could I have one pair of those legs, please?
I just wanted to tell all the haters to lay off!! Really I think they're just jealous (I know I am sometimes). That or else they're just don't know anything about fashion. I don't even get why people who make those nasty comments are looking at blogs like yours. Whatev, your badass!!
i love it! i love ur shirt!
amazing details on the blouse!
This reminds me of the glam rock period so of course I totally agree with this look :D
This top reminds me of Balmain's new fall collection
