topping out

Topshop jacket and boots, Fruit of the Loom tshirt, Forever 21 stirrup leggings.

  • some of my favorite days are when a big gray package from Topshop arrives...huge pre-outfit post thumbs up on the Kate Moss wet look skinnies (I would link them but Topshop links just make it back to the homepage 99% of the time)
  • since it's mildly ambiguous, let me just assure you that the shirt is long enough to wear with leggings - I'm with Blair on that particular stance
  • check out streetstyl.es for a fun pictoral overview of recent blog posts
  • it was a hookah, not a cigarette
  • I bought a PVC paneled black sweater today
  • daylight savings is depressing
  • bullet points are almost as fun as studded footwear

JEYQ said...

HAHA i'm ALL for the colloquial bullet-point content as in I will be enforcing that over at citruscoffee. I love indirect comments; they're actually my favorite. and naturally you look amazing rumi!

Carolyn said...

KNOCK-OFFS OR NOT what looks good looks good and there's no complaining there. YOU LOOK AWESOME RUMI. P.S. that picture with hookah smoke coming out of your mouth looked great. it looks very luring in every way. You are a Fashion Icon.

PUG and PIPS said...

Congratulations on the American Apparel Advertisements on your page Rumi!
I'm presuming this is a new installment to your blog? Or maybe I just did not notice it before?

Either way, it will definitely help fund your Shoe obsession :)

lots of love
albee (pug and pips)

emr said...

fantastic boots! i love your hair too.

p.s. at first i thought you were holding a little kitten up to your face...and i thought, that poor kitten looks smushed! then i looked again. haha...silly me.

Lauren said...

leggings are not pants! glad you know! :-)

julia hart said...

omg I have been waiting soo long for someone ( anyone!!) to knock off the gucci boots and when I saw those a couple weeks ago on the topshop site i think i died and went to heaven. but then of course they were out of my size...just my luck. but im glad to see that someone deserving of them gets to enjoy. I really like your blog and I just started my own and I linked you so mabie you could check mine out... thanks!

Liz said...

OMG, those shoes. I DIE.

Anonymous said...

caylee said...

oh my those boots are fantastic and if i can find them online, they will be mine too!
haha.
you look great as always, i love what you did with the braid in your hair.

kater said...

I totally thought you were squeezing a kitten in the first shot! Haha :D You look lovely, great outfit :D

alice said...

i'mm loving the boots. i wanted the gucci ones so badly and those are pretty much just as amazing. so i was wondering if you could link my blog:
www.tea-and-scones.blogspot.com

Glamouricious said...

holy crap! when i first saw those boots i thought you got the gucci ones.
oh and p.s.: i dont smoke cigs either but i LOVE hookahs.. :)

hannah said...

okay so i just discovered your blog. i know i'm SO late in the game but i'm already addicted to it and have spent the last hour going through your posts instead of doing my homework. you're a true fashion inspiration and i admire your style like no other.

<3 hannah

Youngest Indie said...

I considered getting those boots, too! But I got a different one instead and my topshop boots arrived today as well! hehehe~ so happy! :) Looks great on you!

UberOriginal said...

Bullet points are a way to stud up your blog. Yessss.

la petite fashionista said...

Maeko said...

I'm so glad the < li > code worked for you!

Fashion Is Poison said...

Lisa said...

i think i am obsessed with black booties.

the studs just add to the firceness.

x.

Zoe said...

HOT SHOES. im in love.

Nice and Shiny said...

Hmm, those heels remind me of the studded beroque tights that queen michelle has... in shoe form! Awsome as always!

-h of candid cool said...

that is one cool jacket. are u holding one of your cats or is it part of the jacket?

❤Kiss and Faint said...

Omg! Love the outfit and your hairstyle! (Two thumbs up!) (L)
(:

Nita-Karoliina said...

i allmost bought that jacket from topshop few weeks ago, but it looked too big on my too petite frame ( i am short and skinny you are long and skinny, so its looks good on u :) )
liking the outfit!

natalia said...

mmm those boots. yes yes yes!

Andy said...

You're amazing.
You know that I've got the Gucci booties but I really like those ones too : they're way more discret!
Love

kate said...

streetstyl.es is one good website. thanks for sharing :)

Fallon said...

Those shoes are to die for, i would love to get a pair ! You look wonderful :D

Anonymous said...

fantastic shoes! the guccis are too overloaded with huge studs.

Gala said...

hey Beautiful! i love your hair..i think i know wher it cames from(erin's i-d shoot?) it really suits you! you look very delicate!

JEYQ said...

haha okay i promise all name-butchering shall cease from this day forward.

and maybe the costume designer didn't want the top to be so constricting. but i say screw it, it's fashion. what's a few hours of painful breathing compared to abbey lee tumbling on the spring runways not once but twice? okay that was an illegitimate comparison but whatevs.

Helene said...

You gotta love the shoes.

love, love, lovee those boots!! you look hot as usual <3

Fashion Pariah said...

I love that jacket and boots. I can't recall seeing a jacket like, if i had i would probably own it too.

Love the guts of the shoulder pad jacket, you're braver than me!!

Mode Junkie said...

you look hot rumi. in every single outfit. damnit! love you booties. seriously, how many black boots does one woman need? a million, i guess.
love bullets too. and hookahs!

R said...

My goodness Rumi I thought you were holding some type of mangled animal.. a cat perhaps? Thats really trippy looking lol! Ah but the boots are pure love <33

sofie said...

Hot jacket, hot shoes, hot Rumi!

FASHIONJUNK said...

LOVE it!! the jacket and those shoes are amazing!!

Anna-Maria said...

Those shoes are to die for. It's so unfair that TopShop doesn't ship to Finland yet it's a UK company.

AU PAYS DE CANDY said...

the topshop jacket is beautiful!!

She's Dressing Up said...

I love the jacket on you, I didn't like it in store but as usual you can pull it all off!!

I have those booties too, but as of yet have been too scared to wear them out of the house because I'm terrified to scuff them, and so they sit uselessly on top of my desk and I just look at them all day haha.

Fashion Tidbits said...

hahar i see that you're finally rocking the bullet point function!!!!! :)

Val said...

Mmm i love the topshop shoes. I think i may have to cave and buy some of my own.

sueper said...

just did a post about daylight savings too - I hate it!

Ashleigh said...

Love the boots....I have my eye on similar ones but they are not Topshop since im in Canada and we are not cool enough for topshop :P..hopefully sometime in the near future...took forever to get F21 and H&M here..:s..

Milly said...

PVC paneled black sweater inspires me a lot! I'm very curious!
Kate's collection leaved me upset... I fell in love especially with two mini-dress!

j@modishchick said...

love the new booties! i've been searching for the "perfect" pair, but no luck so far.

Chloe's Chic Conception said...

Love the bullet points :) hehe

I ordered those boots recently and am eagerly awaiting their arrival - even more so after seeing yours!

Love the jacket - I think you should sell it in your shop...but only to me ;)

And I agree 100% about daylight savings! It's awful coming home in the dark :(

xoxo

Platform Princess said...

What annoys me most, is that I live in LONDON, the lad of Topshop and I couldn't even get hold of these boots- dammit!

Fyi, their FIERCE!

casey said...

gorgeous! That little drawing you're sitting next to is random but kind of charming. :D Did you put it there, or just happen to find it?

B. said...

AMAZING shoes ! :D

*~The World is My Catwalk~* said...

Oh my goodness!! Can I raid your shoe-closet for a day Rumi?? heehee

I love those Topshop booties!! They remind me of the Gucci ones... I can already feel my mouth water!

WOOOW your boots are amazing!!!!!

clara spencer-phillips said...

love it! Are the boots comfy? i work right next to the topshop in oxford circus in london - its humungus... too much stuff i can never commit to buying anything!

Fell4fashion said...

I LOVE those booties!!! :)

J'Adore Fashion said...

those booties are HOT, love it!!! :)

alis said...

since you went with the bullets...
-Ha! As a smoke-hater-yet-hookah-smoker myself my assumption was right.
-I have been endlessly stalking topshop.com AND my local topshop and haven't seen those boots, I would rightfully yank those off your feet and run away and live happily ever after.
-I have been lusting a leopard furry jacket since I saw it on Mandy Moore(yikes! what?) and AGAIN you find it from topshop. If you get mugged today it will probably be me..!

Marina said...

Crazy cool shoes!And I love you fur jacket. You really can wear fur!Great style!

stylemagnet said...

lookin' good in the neighborhood. i'm excited to see your new sweater, seeing as i live vicariously through your incredible wardrobe.

Lauriane said...

What? What? Another person on leggings are not pants philosophy?! Are you godsend ?

yello said...

agreed: daylight savings is depressing :D

Rumi said...

Woohoo to feeding my sick ankle boot addiction! Someday I really need to stop. Lol to all the people thinking I was holding/smushing a kitten..I would be much cooler if I was clutching an animal in every single photo though.

anon446, they were until a week ago or so, Topshop's stuff always sells out so fast!

anon453 ooh thanks for the link I like those hairy-ish feather earrings..

Taghrid heh yeah I figured it out thanks to the many who let me know how possible it was. Stirrups are good because they look like tights!

a.n.e. aww that sucks about shipping, I'm not sure it would be too easy to DIY a heel like these..beyond my expertise anyway!

milkithoney, lol thanks.

jeyq it's rather appropriate for those with ADD such as myself.

carolyn I definitely wasn't about to be able to afford the Guccis! Thanks, I couldn't believe what a fuss that caused..

Lauren not unless you're MK.

anon640, I don't think it's in stock anymore, I just checked and didn't see it..but there is another really cute one with a funnel neck that you might want to check out.

Glamouricious, ehh cigarettes are too money draining for me. Shoes are much better.

Hannah glad you made your way over and thank youuuu

Youngestindie, which ones did you get instead?

Maeko haha yeahhh thank you to you and everyone else who informed me how to do this..

Niceandshiny, hmm did I miss those tights somehow? I'm going to go search KOS now.

H lol it's part of the jacket! My kittens are Persian and can't really handle being outside..I think they would pass out as soon as the wind blew on them.

Andy ahh the actual ones are so gorgeous, love yours ;)

Hi Galaaa, ooh I'm having fun gathering things for you :)

Fashionpariah I've been searching for the perfect leopard print jacket for like years now. I'm very happy with this one!

R lol noo don't say mangled!

Shesdressingup okay the boots need to enjoy the outside world too, wear them!!!

Sueper ugh tell me about it. It makes me want to hibernate.

Ashleigh aww you would think that if they shipped to the US they would to Canada too..

Punkie I think I'll break out the sweater soon, it's very ugly/alluring to me haha. I must say that the dresses in Kate's collection were pretty crazily expensive but I was tempted too.

Chloe ooh you'll love them, they're much better in person. I love the super low cut.

Casey I'm sadly not that artistic or patient, we didn't even notice it until we got home and looked at the photos on the computer. It's very Socal though hah.

Alis touche, glad someone was able to distinguish smoke types, and God I feel even luckier I was able to snag a pair now. Love the Mandy Moore randomness, I feel like I haven't heard about her in years.

Thanks Jenny.

yourbestfriend, I didn't stud these but my other ones I did by hand.

nare, yup, they were online very recently.

lauriane yeahhh I'm okay with a long tshirt but nothing less.

yello, ugh I know it always takes me so long to get used to it.

Rumi said...

Krystal, definitely, I think they'll be curing me of any need for the Guccis.

Wellreadfish, thanks, hahah I love little details that we don't notice when we're taking the photo like that.

Paige, it's called the "hairy animal print coat" as charming as that sounds.

Anon aww haha thank you :)

MJ said...

rumi rumi! have you seen the primark version of the gucci studded sandal? they are even better! They often pop on ebay..
