Love the furry hat! So cute. Hope you have a wonderful time in Paris. x

enjoy PARIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am in LOVE with your fuzzy hood. I've wanted one for ages but it's just not ever on my top priority list to search for one. Boo, what a damn shame. Don't you just love packing though? I adore arranging all my clothes/shoes and packing them in a suit case. It's a disturbing material love thing haha.

+ It seems everyone and their moms are going to paris but me ToT. I get to go to london to take my boyfriend home. So I'll make him take me while we're there haha.

mwah <3, China L.

Furry hood ! It looks pretty darn cool, and I really like those shorts. I'm sure you and COlin will have fun in Paris, eh ? :)

cute outfit
love the denim and fur combination

i love the denim jacket, shorts and furry hat.
Collin is always doing a good job in photography.

Rumi remember that cold in Paris is not that bad! haha :)
gotta share with you some cool places you gotta go if you have time!: you totally CAN'T miss a bakery called La durée! it's so chic and beautiful and very famous in there! Angelina is a cool place to lunch and the macarons (kind of typocal cookis) are soo good in there. More restaurants.. Lapérouse! in le quartier latin you'll totally love it! miu miu ads where taken there few seasons ago and it's the oldest restaurant in Paris! If you can go out at night i trully recommed you Le Baron. Shopping... the Christian Louboutin boutique @ 38 rue grenelle! of course can't miss the trendy Colette! just troll around Faubourg Saint-Honoré or Saint-Germain!
have fun Rumii!!

good luck on Paris!
enjoy!

hugs and kisses!
safe trip.

Have fun there! And I love this outfit!

Have fun at paris!!!!

PARIS :

Rue TIQUETONNE - 75002 (Metro Etienne Marcel)
Tons of cute boutiques, cafes, et Vintage stores (Killiwatch in particuliar) then up the street you have all the denim brands (including All Saints)
And right before All Saints turn left, go to 22 Rue des Victoires and head to the secret L'eclaireur store (there are no signs to get in, just a buzzer)


Then you can head to Le Marais. Make sure you go to Precursor (www.weareprecursor.com).
A british boutique, Rue des blancs Manteaux. (Metro Hotel de Ville)

If you are in Montmartre head to Pigalle
http://www.highsnobiety.com/news/2008/10/03/pigalle-paris-opens-its-doors/
The new Hi & Lo hipster store.

If you need more ideas, Hit me up !

Cheers

S.

You look uber cute in that fur hat!
Shops that I myself would like to visit in Paris: 'Didier Ludot' (vintage haute couture), L'Habilleur (designer labels for less), Dépôt-Vente de Buci-Bourbon (vintage & second hand designer stuff), Mouton à cinq pattes (vintage designer & last seasons collections).
For bargain bucket cheapness try 'Tati' or 'Monoprix'.
I personally think that the most exciting places to find treasures is at the flea markets, there's a few of them in Paris, 'Marche aux Puces de St-Quen' is reportedly Europes largest one.
Have a great time & I hope you get excellent weather for going walkabout, the best way to appreciate this stunning city in my opinion.

You are going to love your time in Paris, for sure!
My favourite stores are probably the well known Colette, and Free P Star, which is the best vintage shop ever, and you can find it in Le Marais, Rue de Saint Croix de la Bretonnerie (I think th best metro station is Hòtel de Ville). There is also a nice restaurant in that area, called Le Monjul, in Rue des Blancs Manteaux. And for drinks, I love rue Oberkampf.

Have lots of fun!

ohh you will have a blast! you HAVE to head down to the Marais, fab shops around there, as well as galleries (check out the picasso one). You have to go to Collette. You will love it and spend a fortune in there!!! have a safe trip xoxo

www.fashionistadiary.co.uk

http://www.laduree.com/public_en/actualites/actualites_laduree_bar.htm - the most beautiful place EVER. Also, this is a great site for all things 'nice' http://www.urbanpath.com/paris/. Places around Montmartre are ALL divine.

Have a great time!

ha i love the title...my family went last year and all they told me is they really needed comfortable shoes because Paris = lots of walking. Although comfortable to you has way more boundaries. I can't wait for the pictures...will you be blogging over there....though totally understandable if you don't.

I have a similar hat only in white =P so cute! Have a great trip to paris since i've only been there when i was 8years old and restrict al the vacations to disneyworld! have fun* * *

Drooling over that fur hat/hood!
I have a thing for that kinda headwear :)

Enjoy Paris, you lucky lucky girl!

OMG you look so great in you denim !
love your image so great !

You will definitely need to wrap up warm, that hat will come in handy for sure.
And I love the last picture of you, denim on denim is definitely growing on me.
Have a fantastic time in paris, although I know you will.
x

usually i would hiss at the two denim combo.
but it actually works!!! :)

love the fur hood... hope its not real...
keep up the great dressing doll.

http://aforteforfashion.blogspot.com

You wear that tuxedo perfectly lady!!! I love love love the first shot with the hat!!

No suggestions for Paris go-sees/to's as the last time I was there was in 2001 and I hardly think my suggestions would be of the moment ;)
BUT HAVE SUCH A BLAST and you know we can't wait to hear (and see) about all of it!!!
Tell Garance I think she's amazing, if you end up meeting up with her :)

xx

You should visit Laduree in Champs Elysses, delicious sweets. Le Bar du Plaza Athenee is great to drink something before party. And I ALWAYS ALWAYS visit Christian Louboutin Store in RUe Jean Jacques Rousseau, is really near of Louvre. Enjoy Paris. Kiss

rumi beauty girl.

you will have a blast. the energy will be so infectious and amazing.

i'd say laduree, collette, isabel marant, and all the vintage places you can find would be on my list.

can't wait to see some great pics.

That is an awesome fur coat! Magnifique! Have fun and can't wait to see the photos from your adventures!

Wow.. you look amazing girl :)

Amazing shorts. You must be the only one able to wear denim on denim! And much fun in Paris of course. My Paris-plans changed a bit, I'm going the end of April.

aww that furry hood is so cute<3

well, if you haven't heard already, champs elysees! cliche, maybe, but you can find a bunch of stuff! especially if you go into the places where there are other shops in the "mall". huge strip w/ the arc de triomphe at the end, or beginning, depending on where you start. i was just there in february and it rained everyday but i loved it! cold for sure, so bundle up! and i learned, no suede footwear, duh right? have fun!!

Denim should always be worn with fur! & with a lil' diamonds and pearls never hurt either.

* love that look *

Have fun in Paris!

As i told you, if you need some advices for shops, restaurants or fw partys in Paris, send me a mail at kenzasmg@gmail.com

xx

And i forgot the best place in Paris for everything is the district of "Le Marais", i live here, it's awesome !

There are all the best shops, all the best vintage shops, all the most beautiful places, and lot of young people.

Have Fun!

I have often been to Paris and I would strongly recommend you to take a look in Colette, a very stylish store that sells some amazing stuff, including the top designers, almost like a fashion show. And there is a cool café there too :)

Address: 213 RUE SAINT-HONORÉ

Enjoy!
Btw, amazing pictures, always nice to see some chlothing changes ^^

LOVE that first profile shot, stunning-right out of an editorial!

Ahh Rumi, have a safe & wonderful trip to Paris! I can't wait to see you & Colin's always amazing photos from such a beautiful place!

xoxo

i'll be heading to paris soon, so ready for it, i have to get out of new york city for a while, and cute hunter hat.

come see me here- http://noirblancetrougepartout.blogspot.com/

you should check out justjr's site, he just did a paris 09 guide
here is the link

http://blog.justjr.com/archives/2009/03/paris-guide-09/

I've never been to Paris, but I'm sure you'll love it! Have fun!

I'm loving my fur-trimmed hat lately too.. brrr. Only you could pull of the denim x denim look.. terrible, but yet cute!

Dont forget to eat Macaroons and drink tea in LaDurée (though there are ALWAYS queues in this restaurant/cafe, it's absolutely worth it!
For some unforgettable shopping experience head to Le Marais! Rue Vieille du Temple is a must go ;)
Good journey!

Go here to Free "P" Star
I went last year, it really lives up to all the hype. But it gets really crowded.

Also, some of the best food I had was street food. My friend and I had the best lunch ever, just munching on crepes(Sorry, I can't make the accent).

Also go to the Palais de Tokyo. It has a restaurant and cool art exhibits. It's super close to the Eiffel Tower.

Be careful and carry your bag close. A couple kids I know got pick-pocketed on the Metro.

PS. Dress warm, it gets cold at night.

PSS.Don't do the Bateaux-Mouches at night. ( I did, I was freezing!)

hi!
i realy loooooove youre blog. i check it EVRY day!!!!!!!!
i went to Paris in fall, and the greatast shop there was the galerie la vayette (if its wrided like that)! it has 7 floor, all filt up whit (designer) shops. there was a cool restaurant, but i forgot the name, it very close to the Le Bristol, realy cool!
xxx Sootjeelina

tottally off topic, you would look cute with a nose piercing tho. on your left side.

there is a little boutique near the jardins du luxembourg...the lady there sells a few of her own pieces in addition to other designers like vanessa bruno.

but she makes the prettiest little dresses and tops out of.....VINTAGE SILK SCARVES!!! They aren't cheap...approx 200-300euros. But when I was there in Jan, I was.....very tempted!

I would not be surprised if she had a few vintage hermes babies in there as well. Let me see if I brought back a card so I can get you the name.

Have a lovely time, Rumi! Please keep us alive (in the Montreal winter currently) with hot hot Paris photos!

love, xoxx

http://amixedneonclarity.blogspot.com

oh oh oh wait...check out la coquette's shopping list. you'll enjoy this much more than the couture stuff if I've gauged well. :)

http://lacoquette.blogs.com/la_coquette/shopping/

Definitely check out Chez Mamie near Pigalle metro. It's vintage heaven! It's a really tiny 2-storey store but it is literally JAM PACKED with amazing vintage pieces....in amazing condition.

Have fun!! :)

ps: colette aussi.

can you tell how much Paris excites me?!!?! :)


and make sure you lunch at ROSE BAKERY!

Love pants.

Hi Rumi! It's the first time I write you, but I felt it was compulsory. You MUST go to La Durée and try their macarons, they r the best thing in Paris ever, really!!! better than the shopping, hehehe. Have a great time! kisses from Barcelona

Love that hood--you'll be very happy to have it in Paris to battle the cold!

Somehow you make a denim outfit work-AMAZING. I would look like an absolute fucktard if I tried this...

i love paris!!! i wish i could go there noww but i cant, however i went there many times and all i have to say is GALERIES LAFAYETTE. just this ;p oh also theres a really nice shopping district around centre pompidou and a really huge mall called "les halles" its near the pompidou center, and it has almost every shop from h&m to new look and zara and all the others :p
xxx

Paris is so amazing! and im sure it will be crazy weather wise this time of year, but still beautiful of course!

definitely check out Laduree...you won't regret that!

and i suggest the weekend flea market at metro stop: Porte de Clignancourt..once you get past the fake coach and LV you can find the vintage/antique section which is realy amazing! The have a lot of crazy bags, sunglasses, jewelry and vintage chanel,hermes etc :)

theres also great falafel and shopping Le Marais section of Paris :)

Have a kick ass trip! (so jealous btw)

Oh and that fur hood is ingenious!

You are wonderful. seriously you look stunning :)
Have fun in Paris sweety.

-A.

love this. i thought that fur hood thing was from urban outfitters cause they had one almost exactly like that, and i tried it on and couldn't quite work it like you can. way to use old jackets!

Paris is so beautiful! Enjoy your trip :)

www.citonamarie.blogspot.com

ahhh the fur hood is just toooo good.
you should try wearing a leotard under your sweaters! It doesn't add any bulk but is surprisingly good at adding warmth!

so excited for you - definitely go to the galleries lafayette! and eat there. one of the freshest, reasonably priced lunches you can get in the city.

kiss for safe travels!

will you be blogging from there???

Just spotted this gem on e-bay you posted about earlier... clearly too big for you, but perhaps a good seamstress can make magic for you?

Have the best of times in Paris Rumi!
xox

Go to the Chanel there, to die x

oh, and check out Faubourg Saint Honore

I hope you have an amazing trip!!!

I think the fur hoodie is quite brilliant...esp paired with your denim. Have an amazing time in Paris, and if u can make a fairly short train trip to London....I think you'll have a crazy good time shopping in Camden and Spitalfields Markets!

Btw, just wanna say I'm new to the whole fashion blogger world,...and yours is one of the top, TOP blogs that inspired me to start my own. So thanks so much, Rumi!

Wish I was going to Paris! From what I remember it's a really cool city, I want to go back one day. Have fun!

Check out our post on Paris. Enjoy!

http://www.theportmanteau.com/search/label/Paris

I believe what you are wearing is called a CANADIAN tuxedo. Please, let's not let Texas take credit for something so awesome.

Can't wait to see your outfits in Paris! Have a great time there! xxoxoxoxoxoxo

Paris?

I did a few helpful posts about it on my travel/fashion blog:

www.wander-lusting.blogspot.com

You're so lucky to go - I was going to go back for my third visit this year but money and time off work got short. DAMN ALL MY SHOPPING.

Have a fab time.

PS I despise most denim on denim looks but you can pull off anything so I'm not suprised I like it on you :)

PPS - it is NOT a CANADIAN TUXEDO - the term TEXAS came first. And I have yet to see ANYONE in Canada wear denim head to toe. Except Albertans

Hey there a re a few really good vintage stores in Paris; Kiliwatch, Fripestar and some that I can't remember the name of but they are all in the area around the Pompideu centre.
I got an amazing fur cape for TEN euros from fripestar and it is about half fur, then other exceptionally cool dresses and things. The dresses sometimes need taking up but they are all excellent, and there are shoes that aren't all teeny tiny like vintage shoes tend to be!
Happy shopping! xxxx

That's a really good way of getting more wear out of something - just selecting the part you like.
Ahh you have to go to colette!

http://thestitched.blogspot.com

the Marais, is a neighbourhood, tons of vintage.

*bisous*

i can't imagine how hard it must be to pack for warm weather with the freaking tiny ass suitcases they allow. =/ i wish the weight limit were different.

It's not really shopping but check out the bouquinistes along the Seine near Notre Dame! They sell some really cool books and postcards and stuff.
Also, have a chocolate crepe. Nothing better.

definitely go to gallerias lafayette. AMAZING shopping. It's like a mega mall of designer wear. There is also an amazing jewelery store called Folli Folli, and don't forget to visit Isabel Marant FOR SURE. The Chanel near the arch de triumph is the best I have ever been to too!

ahh your packing situation is the same for me. I hate it! I'm trying to pack up my whole life for when I move back to Australia and it seriously sucks.

Have an amazing time in Paris.

i looove denim on denim on you, pretty rumi.
hope you and your guy have an amazing time in paris!

you have to go to Collette of course! and there are some designer vintage shops around that area that i think are worth checking out. oh and the food in paris! hard to get bad food--unless you only hang out in the tourist/club trap near st. germain.
not to sound nosey, but i will, how long have you and colin been together? you guys seem like two peas in a pod!

Rumi --

First shot = STUNNING, I want "a Colin" =] hahah

Have fun, bring me back a Chocolate croissant and some Chanel?? ;]

photo #1: would be BEAUTIFUL if cropped so that it's a closeup of your face

photo #2: TOTAL 90s ad for denim. which is a good thing.

Have an amazing time!

those are wicked shorts!!!!
did you cut them yourself?

enjoy paris! I love it there. Go to Etam. Its like the french version of forever 21.

i am so excited for you to go to paris and share your experience (and outfits) with us!! have funnn

The fuzzy hood is ne plus ultra!
Make that two chocolate croissants...

you will die die die in collette

have fun in paris! i guess besides all the usual touristy stuff, i haven no suggestions. =(

Hope you have a crazy awesome time! Don't forget to do jump shots over the Paris skyline at the top of Montparnasse!

the title matches the look well. I hear this is what they wear to weddings in texas. paris is a distant dream of mines. have fun.

rumii! i hope you have an amazing time, enjoy paris twice as much for me lol. the jean on jean action is actually pretty cool! i think you pull it off very well...but seriously, i can't wait to see what you will wear in paris!

xxxxxcat

definitelllly go to l'entrecote in the 7th. i forget the exact address but im sure you and colin can find it. it's ONLY steak and the best at that. caviar kaspia is amazing...but prepare for princess dining and royally painful prices. Go to emmy franck!! wonderful store!! and they are very very very nice!! and im sure that you will like, since i have a sense of your style from your pictures, heimstone. DEFINITELY go to heimstone!!

I lived in paris for 6 months and it was amazing...restaurants: anahï, le petit marché in le marais, tokyo eat at le palais de tokyo, cafe angelina for hot chocolate, laduree for macarons, le relais de entrecôte (if you like steak and fries) and so many more. im jealous!

love the combination of denim and fur. such an inspiration.
enjoy paris! :)

LOVELY....njoy!!!

http://lifeofbrian08.blogspot.com

Have fun in Paris! Am incredibly jealous! I have a few favourite stores, but they don't seem like your style (Dries Van Noten being #1), that 'squirrel hood' is tres chouette! ;)
xx

Bonjour Rumi!
I am so jealous of your upcoming Paris trip! I have to wait until June to get back there. It's my adopted second home. Can't get enough of that culture (err and the pain au chocolates!)
I think you would have a LOT of fun in the Marais district. It's a really fun neighborhood (totally ooooozes that more rustic Parisian chic) and is chock full of quirky little vintage shops, some cheap and some more expensive. I found tons of cool menswear things there to incorporate into my wardrobe, like baggy semi-tailored vests, and there are tons of frocks and leather satchels to be found. There's one shop I have in mind particularly, but I'll have to check with my French pals for the name.
There are lots of more recognizable shops by the Opera and a few really good malls (I know, the thought is not so appealing but they have some little French chains stores that are worth a look), I think Le Halles is one of them. If you're in a perma-money-saving mode like my seventeen-year-old self is, New Look is a British store in Paris that has LOTS of runway-inspired looks and is very up on the upcoming. I got a fabueirkwadskjfasd leather-like bomber there long before they trickled into Urban Outfitters and the like.
And the Paris climate at this time of the year can be a little (but only sporadically) rainy from my experience, but it's perfect wispy scarf and chunky leather boot weather. It also presents you with an opportunity to be an adorable American girl in Paris with a big red umbrella.
HAVE FUN!
EAT LOTS OF AMAZING FOOD AND OH! GO TO THE FASHION MUSEUM! YOU MUST MUST MUST GO. I believe the name is just Fashion Museum translated into French, like Musee du Mode or something French-ish like that. There's another awesome museum that is actually just the mansion of this man who was OBSESSED with Marie Antoinette and her social circle and smothered his home with furniture inspired by or acquired from the French royal family at that time. Definitely worth a look.
Oh dear this is long.
x, Lydia

rumi you're so brave to pull off the furry hat look. lol. In other news I have some Balmain-inspired shoes from Zara which I think you would appreciate

if you happen to be incredibly bored - they're on my blog:

http://the-voguette.blogspot.com

Paris is my city :)
well the total denim is great and the add of fur is cool

im so jealous!! im going this summer for a few days when I go to london though! its so easy to get back and forth on the eurostar, you guys should go to london if you can, the pound is wayyy down!! i was gonna say a few more stores that are good in paris (i think i posted some a while back) but the people above me said all the good ones. do you like in norcal? i forget. if you do, do you have any suggestions on good shopping in san francisco? thanksss have fun!

arianna

Wow, the fur hood is so fabulous.

i dont know what the french word for BLACK is, but there is a restaurant in Paris that is called BLACK or something and you eat in the dark, and your waiters are blind.
i wanna go!

Thank you so so much for the recs, I love you guys!! I've got a huge amount of things on our must see list now..we're going to be staying in Le Marais, hopefully the internet situation will be blog-friendly and updates will be had.

xx

super cute shorts...

More denim in our life! Amazing..
Have a good time in the beautiful Paris! xoxo

paris is my second home- i am so jealous you are going there, would love to be there right now instead of cold, cold england.

la boissonerie in the latin quarter is a great fish restaurant. alternatively i HIGHLY reccommend le relais de l'entrecot for steak, its world famous and their secret sauce is amazing!

have fun rumi! the french girls will love your style! xxxxx

You look soooooooo beautiful!
love this look!

All the best...and enjoy Paris.....

Welcome to paris!Just discovering your blog, and pretty pictures!Will add it to my own blogroll!
see you
La puce in paris

You'll get used to the cold quickly, so it's not that bad. I've been in December. Just wear a warm underlayer & tights, and you could even get away with shorts & boots that way.

Too many stores to recommend! Just wander & enjoy. If you like thrift shopping though definitely go to the flea market!

Really good cafés on Boulevard Voltaire if you're wandering (there is a paper store there that I LOVE).

Bon Voyage!

haha... love the canadian suit!

cute outfit :) have fun in Paris, i'm so jealous!

Ha! Love the texas tuxedo!

for restaurants, check out le chat noir at pigalle. it's surrounded by seedy sex shops but really does serve up some wonderful dishes -- the duck confit is incredible!

oberkampf and le marais are also some different places to go for food and/or a nightcap, have plenty of little pubs... and have fun drink le vin chaud and eating marrons everywhere you go! ;)

le quartier latin and saint germaine has great little cafes and bookstores and is really a nice place to just sit back and soak up the atmosphere.

have fun in paris! je l'aime!

not many people can pull off that look! i just started a blog, can you link me? if you could that would be fantastic :D

Im obsessing over vintage cut off high wiast shorts right now.
Being summer here in aus they are perfect for this temperature.

and im going to new zealand and down to melbourne in afew months and have been looking for a furry hat hood thing like yours to survive the cold!
so cute.
