Normally love your photos, great blog in general, but I kind of feel like there's a lot of bum going on here. Sorry!

too bad you wearing them stockings with that sweater. you should wear that sweater with plain stockings or plain pair of jeans. and them stockings with a plain dress.

this makes it all too thrasy.

but nice blog lady. :)

The stockings would be gorgeous with anything classy (ie. not denim shorts). The sweater is also great, but again - worn with something else. Those pieces are just so wrong together - and not 'so wrong its right' but just plain wrong...like a peanut butter and tuna salad sandwich - both great sandwhich fillings, but together = PUKE!

interesting stockings...i'd like to see them paired with more conservative pieces. i think that would be a nicer balance!

im pretty much in love with everything you wear, but im sorry this looks not hot, its kind of cheap.even for lala land...even your hair and your face looks trashy.

I adore your blog and think you are marvelous in looks and personality, but I'm also questioning why so many of your ensembles are streetwalker-style now. I really don't want to sound cruel but it is too much continuous trashiness. you have more to offer than skin, legs, and grasping at being hot all the time! it's demeaning and makes you seem a little desperate and insecure. I'm sorry--I really say this as someone who finds you very very charismatic--I am a big fan. I just think you can do (are) better than this.

not a fan of this ensemble..love you though...its getting a bit trashy for me...do you actually walk around like that?

The stockings are spectacular! It makes me smile a little too to know that they are from Hot Topic. Why not, though? They look great!

im sorry.. but this looks really trashy!!
come on RUMI!!! you can do better than this!
i just feel that i see more of you than you bf does!!
wheey too much
tone it down
plzz?

im in love with your blog tho ;]

rumi, i usually really enjoy your outfits, but this one not so much. when i saw the police car i thought they might have mistaken you for a prostitute and arrested you. nuff said.

I have to echo the sentiments of the other comments. All the elements are great but the combination of them doesn't do much for me. The Balenciaga looks great with the longer strap though!

there is a very fine line between too much and leaving some to imagination. i think if u chose either one - stockings OR sweater - it would have left it at leaving some to imagination. together, it became revealing too much. you have done way better. and this is not one of those times.

i saw the list of what you were wearing and knew EXACTLY what this outfit looked like/was before the pics even loaded
try evolving a little bit hun!

everything is nice on its own but together ewww...must agree with some comments here...kinda trashy
it's been like that lately...and you are so much more than that
what's going on?

PLEASE stop the trashy looks, another look that screams "CHEAP". stop it, pls!

please stop being so trashy rumi!!
you look like a prossy
:(
i really wanna say i love your outfit..but noo

:(


TRASHY!!!
tell us whats going on!!!
xxx

lol- "peanut butter and tuna salad" is right on the nose! And the topper is the photo next to the police van...were you being arrested by the Fashion Police?

Love those stockings! u look amazing!

<3 Chelsea'sGirl

basically i think the best part about your style, love it or hate it, is that you know what you like and you continue to where what you want, regardless of the 100s of comments you get. that's true style.

YOU HAVE BECOME SO FULL OF YOURSELF, AND WE ALL CAN SEE IT! STOP STEALING THE ERIN WASSON, HARLEY NEWTON, ALICE DELLAL LOOK.

I've got to agree with anne and a few others on this post. Again. I'm really sad because the last post before this was so gorgeous. But this? Rumi, no! You look completely shitfaced in the first and the second, well, all the anon's trashy comments pretty much apply. I swear I've always admired your style but you really are just going down a ridiculous path now. I still like your shoes, at least. I understand this is your style and you'll basically wear what you want but you are posting it for opinions, and those of us who feel bad for women who trash so distastefully are unable to keep quiet.

oh gosh i can already tell this post is going to bring in tons of negative comments. people need to get a life and create a style of their own before dissing yours so much. ITS HER BLOG, she can wear and do whatever she wants :)

hahahahahahah you DO look wasted in that first pic....bitter beer face!

you pull-off the outfit. whereas others would be called sluts. everything looks great on you.

how trashy! what's going on with your style, it devolved into a trainwreck of catastrophic proportions if i may be blunt.

rumi, im always jealous of your clothes. but this is too much, you look really trashy,... like you're a hooker or smtn. bring back the drop dead gorgeous pieces!

xo

I think that by Rumi putting up 'trashy' photos every now and than, a lot of people get riled up and flock to her site to give all sorts of comments. This is a very good tactic to bring controversy to the blog, and attract attention.

you do kinda look like a hooker, like a really awesome stylish one. love it... do the tights have a problem staying up on your legs?

It's pointless!!! The more U guys wrote nasty comments, Rumi will try to do it more and more. That's what she loves. She knows she got a nice bod n legs (for Asian height). And she's a celeb now. lol. Gd luck with u're Next contract. Soon, U'll be on TV probably. Bravo TV..ahahah

bravo TV... :D....right after tokio hotel...

this is fashion???

reading these comments just makes me want to say that i dont think ppl should write comments like "u r a slut/fake/show-off" etc and insult u as a person as it has happened with some of ur previous posts but still ppl get to comment for a reason and having a blog obviously facilitates that.. i really liked that most people said that they are fans of ur style in general (and i genuinely believe they are) but still didnt like this outfit. it is ur own blog and i totally agree with the fact that u ll obviously wear what u want but i dont think ppl have to like whatever u wear any way u wear it and they should be able to express that.. if u didnt care what ppl think u shouldnt have started a blog.

you look like such a fucking slut.

a taste for luxury does not necessarily mean good taste, and i think this is a prime example of this. the sweater is an amazing piece, but you manage to demean everything wonderful about it. what's the point in investing in such a special garment if you are only going to use it to look like a streetwalker? it seems like such a waste... i don't think that's what alexander wang ever had in mind... it seems so irreverent and disrespectful of the garment itself... and you don't seem to respect your own self very much, either. a pretty girl shouldn't have to dress like a harlot in order to gain attention and sense of worth. you disappoint me. you're not who i thought you were.

oh rumi, the first photo is disturbing and you look 'off'....... as for the rest..... i agree it the look is too streetwalker--- and i am not using quotation to signify this figuratively...i literally mean you look like a whore....let's see some diversity with your style.

you are very enterprising and creative, so let's see it shine through in your style. if you need some help, take a look at jane aldridge of sea of shoes or susie at style bubble. now THAT is beauty, style and intelligence.

loving the wallpaper.

I absolutely hate this outfit..particularly because of how sad it makes me.I remember coming to your site over the summer and being like this girl is an absolute genius. The styling, the outfits were just impeccable....What I get from your site now is far from inspiration. Oh well, I guess I can enjoy your archives?

OMG why are ppl acting like she's a 12yr old??????
You are grown, you have a hot bf who you probably have sex with... you know what being and feeling sexy is like. Why do ppl always try to control/judge the sexuality of people they look up to. You come to the blog for inspiration if this look doesn't inspire you move on no need to psychoanalyze like something is wrong with her like she is in moral or mental decline!
My comment was simply going to be "Rumi you look deliciously trashy and I mean that in the best way possible. I love this look on you", but now that I've read the comments it seems like mine may be taken the wrong way.
I like the look.
Ppl are saying you're exposed when your midriff arms and legs are covered for the most part.
I can't even go on about others comments. I'm done.

It's getting boring...

Hello i love your site i have one too i would like for you to look at my fashion web site and tell me what you think, please give me your opinions. Or you can e-mail me at zulema2@hotmail.com

Thank you very much :)

trashy!!

Oh, is that an Empire Records reference? :)

Love your blog but not feeling this outfit. what a waste of the aleexander wang sweater.

The lighting in those top two photos is just fantastic, as with the night booth photos you has a wee while back. That really does it for me. Camera/flash/lens info???

very tongue-in-cheek outfit ;)

The stockings are all kinds of fab. Although, your facial expression in the first pic is wierd, the braid looks ridiculous and the outfit combo is a bit 'much'. Stop trying soooooo hard!

I love your blog, and still think your confidence to wear what you wear and pull it off is amazing. Although lately the looks have been a little trashy. But hey I guess almost anything works for you, you're beautiful.

i love this look. the stockings are amazing...m

Where in San Diego is that club?

the hate comments from "multiple sources" would be believable if they didn't follow the same patterns over and over again. to the one or more with multiple identities, recycling the word "trashy" over and over again gives you away. also try using differential themes in your messages. the theme of "i use to like your style but now you are...." is getting old and over-used. these are just some tips that would make you less obvious to anyone of ordinary intelligence in your immature attempts to compensate for whatever it is that is making you so insecure.

So, I'm on the fence was to whether or not I like the holes in the tights and the holes in the thigh hi's.

Overall, I approve.

The first picture is rather awful though. Hair + face combo = not working. Maybe it is time for you to dye your hair?

To the first anon poster: LMAO

To the second anon poster: First Amendment

I have spoken!

Cheap shit

Okay, "Notorious T.E.G.," you're obviously not a constitutional scholar, are you? Since the First Amendment doesn't apply to a PRIVATE blog, censoring Fashion Toast is hardly a First Amendment Issue.

Now that I've gotten that out of the way... Rumi, I love how your denim shorts peek through the cut outs! I have the same sweater along with the Wang denim-esque hobo, and I like to wear them together to achieve a similar look.

i love the second photo!

i freaking love it!!

clearly you have no personality and a chipmunk face
so dressing like a hooker seems to be the only thing that gets you attention
you really ought to start acting (and dressing) like someone of your age

Awesome! Very editorial-like. You must've had so much fun posing for these pics.

tegan is soooo dumb. shut up! obviously you are merely using this blog to propagate your blog. BOYCOTT TEGAN. tegan has spoken......too much.

omg! i love this! i'm so going to copy this outfit! my friends say stuff like this is sleazy but i knew it could work!!!! i'm sure you have guys all over you - nothing wrong with showing some thigh hehe. poor colin must be on guard constantly!
i love that you dont' care... just louging there with your legs on the table. the ultimate femme fatale.

Fristly, good on you for getting to where you are with your blog. Unfortunately, I have to agree with alot of the other comments here. This outfit is not very tasteful. And i dont think it was a good idea to photograph yourself in a provacative manner next to a police van - screams 'hooker being arrested'. I think you have lost your creativity over-time since you started your blog. Your blog seems to be more about photography lately - maybe Collin should start his own blog so you can concentrate more on style/fashion. Maybe it's just me but I dont understand why some people gush over the simplest outfits. I'm sure you would get hundreds of comments even if you wrapped yourself with toilet paper. Must be the praise that comes along with being famous. All the best.

i really like these pictures
you look great

this is not a good look, it is somewhat tastless and tarty. Careful RumRum or the stores will stop selling you all those freebies!!!

The First Amendment to the United States Constitution makes it clear that all persons, as citizens of the United States, have the right to the freedom of speech and the freedom of the press. You don't have to be a constitutional scholar to know that. And the First Amendment DOES apply to a "private" blog (though you realize, this ISN'T a private blog, as it is very much public). So just as she is entitled to publish and say whatever she likes, I, you and everyone else (including those pesky anons) a free to do so. And speaking of those anons, in Talley v. California, the Supreme Court struck down a Los Angeles city ordinance that made it a crime to distribute anonymous pamplets. I say this for all of those who criticize their anonymity, they have a right to be anonymous. Though I've never spoken of Rumi in such terms, as they are unnecessary, I cannot deny their ability to speak freely, even if I don't like it. To deny them would be to deny you, me, the next person, and that creates a very slippery slope.

Can't wait when I see you in some editorial... ;-)

very photogenic!
keep on doing this.

KINGA

Ultimately, she does have the right to censor her own blog.

pattern behavior has evolved to the use of "tasteless" and other obvious variants thereof.

that Alexander Wang is grotesque. if that man came out with a line of used tampons made into a thong they'd be flying off the shelves.

we all know how she gets her money, the prossy posts are right. kaching,,,

those tights are possibly the most amazing things i have ever seen

forgive the haters. looking at these photos we can understand why they're so jealous...

are your tights the criss cross ones with the bow? i'm on the hot topic site, but can't see it! TELL ME RUMI PLEASE

love all your photos, love what you write, love what you're doing.

live the dream for these haters who can't, hehe :P

haha you look shitfaced
not my favorite look i really think you could try harder to switch things up a bit, its getting reall predictable!!!

As a regualr reader, the dynamic of the blog has definatley changed. Your sentiment and likability still come through in your writing, but the images don't match - has the success of Fashion Toast done this? I say this with sincerity, but this isn't the blog I first bookmarked - your pictures seem almost to be exploiting you. Remember the young girls looking up to you, and rethink the example you set them by posting outfits like this.

hi folks, i featured Rumi's pix on my eBay listing for the HOT Colin Stuart studded heels I'm getting rid of, that she modeled so fabulously several times. If anyone wants to get their hands on a size 6; http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200338975786

not trying to spam, just trying to share! enjoy! love your blog!!

I'm so much in love with this sweater.. It looks fantastic on you!

You look incredible in the sweater.. everytime xx x

love the eddie borgo (did i spell that right?) pyramid looking bracelet..or is it really it?

amazing tights

jut because people don't like an outfit doesn't make them insecure with themselves/jealous. you can't be jealous of this if you have no desire to look like it. i dont like this look, and dont wish i could pull it off. because i dont think anyone can.
and people aren't calling HER trashy, just the combination of the outfit. you don't have to be showing skin to look cheap.
that said, like many others i generally love your style, just not this one. i also love all of these pieces, just the combination isnt right. but it could look totally different in real life :-)
also, to all the people complaining that the anons (yeah i know im anon but i dont have an account, but my name is ash, from australia) should say nothing if they have nothing nice to say...well i say, dont have a blog if you only want adoration and for people to tell you you're amazing..
but rumi, this outfit wont stop me coming to your blog 2-3 times a week. you have the best skin and i want to kidnap half your wardrobe
