(Stolen Girlfriends Club dress, Monrow hoodie, vintage denim vest, Topshop boots, Forever 21 perforated metal bangle)
I love SGC.
Colin and I were hanging out in Ocean Beach yesterday and got kind of stoked on this boring blue wall. This crazy little dress is everything that I wanted it to be. Sweet on New Zealand designers..that's one country that is high up on my list of places to visit...I'm sorry but the scenery in Lord of the Rings sold me.
Hope everyone had a great Easter!

I saw the post about this dress and thought it would be a great DIY but you actually got it! I'm so jealous right now!
It looks great on you!
Love that dress & love the blue wall too!! :D
I pray for a summer like your weather!

When I first saw this dress I was slightly wary of it, but it looks great on you! And I'm so jealous of your Topshop boots.
XOXOXO

I'm not sure I could pull a look like this off but I love how you can work that dress!
The shoes = fabulous.
Yes indeed, you should come and grace us with your presence down here!:)
The dress is amazing, I was convinced to go to New Zeslsnd, by obsessively viewing fotc. Also, it's great to see that you eat in the post bekow. Because your so skinny, I (wrongly) assumed you wer eon some sort of apple a day diet thing, but skinny people eating pizza is just so cool!

lovely outfit!
I love LOVE LOVE the cutouts on this dress with the HUGE pins...reminds me of my highschool uniform days...haha
Tres Haute ;)

Niviarsiaq: why on earth would she DIY anything when just mentioning it got it in her closet fo FREE?
Amazing photos!
Your photographer is very talented :)

that dress looks great. i was wary of it when i saw it online (pixiemarkets photos dont do it nearly the justice that yours do!)
The author did NOT delete her comment.
Recap:
1. Aren't you all at least a tad bit curious as to how these people can afford to literally wander around every single day taking pictures in her free clothes and shoes? How is it that we, as a nation (and world) are in the grips of a recession that has taken countless lives and families and these two people are Paris Hilton-ing like it's going out of style? I don't see how this doesn't bother you.
2. Colin = best independent photographer in the blogsphere. Perhaps it is time for the C - man to get himself a blog and throw some work up.
And I will continue to exercise my First Amendment rights. Who knows, maybe I will just make a blog that this the antithesis of this one...oh man! Imagine!

The dress is awesome, I love love love safety/kilt pins.
The boots go really well with it.
I'm about to head to P.B. right now since the weather has been stellar. And I still want those boots in white ridiculously bad.
Awesome dress
Nice body. Cheap dress & shoes.
you're fab. The dress is incredible and love it
ahh you go it!!! I love it so much it looks fantastic
beautiful photos.
I love the white and white with the black heel. It's like total contrast. Anyways of course you can make this dress work but I bet a lot of other people can't, but will try hahah. Ocean beach is my fave after La Jolla Shoes! :)
She comes from nowhere town she lives: "but skinny people eating pizza is just so coo"
People eating isn't cool, it is vital to survive. I am terrified by the things that people thing that "cool," such as smoking, eating and taking pictures of neo-gypsies. What was it that Wasson said about homeless people being "cool?" [ sigh ]
You got the
S T O L E N
dress! gahh :)
and of course, the white Topshop
E M M A
C O O K S
all divine!
xo
this is such a great silhouette for you!! I want the emma cooks in every color lol :D
That dress wouldn't look good on most people, but on you it looks fantastic:)
Why anyone wants to use energy on being bitter at you just beacuse you're fabulous is something I just don't understand. Haters should just get a life, worrie about themself, god what does one fashion blogger got to do with the worlds economy anaways..
I do not know, that I like but..
j'adore the last picture. you make the dress looks so fab. hope youre easter was great darling. take care!xo
you look amazing! best shoes and dress ever!!
sickk
great shots!
still so jealous you have those boots

OB!
hey Rumi, you're in my Hot Elastikals.
New blog in the sphere:
http://elastiks.blogspot.com
Lovely, as always.
That dress is lovely! You're hair is gorgeous! xxx
Rumi that dress looks awesome on you.. i'm in love with it since you posted it..
And yes yes yes go to NZ im heading down there this summer :)
http://shadesandcoffee.blogspot.com/
that is one goddamn sexy dress, and those SHOES.
mmm take me now
tegan, your blog-to-be that is the opposite of fashion toast will be extremely tiresome and unentertaining.
rumi, I don't usually post but this is really a stand-out ensemble that plays to your strengths. nice balance of revealing but not trashy, plus unexpected. great photos too.
Tegan, good point!
But there's nothing we can do about it, is there? There'll always be superficial assholes around, no matter what.
Sad that only a century+ from Einstein, Tesla & co our society has morphed into THIS.
I knew you could WORK that horrible dress and Make it LOOK fabulOUS!!!
l o v e the dress on you.
l o v e the background with the dress.
the white on white: shoes and dress, is the perfect combo.
Another a c e s t y l i n g job, lady ;)

You got the dress! It looks great with the boots.
My boyfriend really wants to go to New Zealand now thanks to Lord of the Rings, it does look pretty amazing it has to be said. Australian and New Zealand designers are waay underrated.
yes yes yes!!

This ensemble is fabulous. WhoWhatWear said recently that this dress's best accessory is a set of rock hard abs, and they were right!
I have to agree with one of the Anon comments however.. @She comes from a nowhere town she likes - being skinny and still being able to eat isn't LYKEOMGSOKEWL! Eating is a vital part of survival, and eating disorders aren't the only way to be thin. The CFDA has been trying so hard to stress the importance of healthy models. HEALTHY! With a good diet, regular exercise, and good motivation, everyone can have a healthy, toned, body.
Rumi, you have a lot of pull in the blogosphere... How about you use it for good in your next post and share your exercise regime or something.
-Nikita
hun, you look stunning

Everybody was in OB yesterday :) Love the last shot. Best, Nic
I live in New Zealand, come visit and I'll show you round :)
You're right, we're pretty spoiled down here for sweet designers-being such a small country. Dress looks great!
eeek put some clothes on, even if it is hot you don't need to wear mega shoes like that to just "hang out at Ocean Beach"
so intense.
i bet you people thought you were crazy but they don't even know!
Love it with the Topshop boots!
I love this dress on you, suits you perfectly. You have some gorgeous skin girl!! xo
That dress looks amazing on you!

HEK: "Why anyone wants to use energy on being bitter at you just beacuse you're fabulous is something I just don't understand. Haters should just get a life, worrie about themself, god what does one fashion blogger got to do with the worlds economy anaways.."
I want to respond to that. I've looked over all of the comments and I think it is quite clear that you are always in life, going to have someone(s) who doesn't like what you are doing. I would venture to say that those "haters," tend to bring more attention and accreditation to the person than the "non-haters." You virtually never have the good without the bad, so to be annoyed at it is fruitless. It is an inescapable truth that IS the fabric of our existence: balance. So for just as many lovers out there, you will have loathers. It is just how it works. You do your part, and let them do their part I say. That is how you keep it fair.
This dress looks amazing on you... Only you can pull it off! I featured you on my blog, please check it out:

that dress is incredible but it totally seems like you have to be of a certain height/proportion/body type to wear it..i'm sure some of those cutouts might end up hitting some very questionable regions of my body if i were to wear it :P
I LIVE IN NEW ZEALAND! And it is beautiful. More beautiful than what you could ever imagine from Lord of the Rings. And we have a few designers here that are very well kept secrets. Kate Sylvester being my fav.

Rumi, I've been a huge fan for forever and look at your site everyday but I have to say, I miss your creativity at reusing pieces in terms of layering and creating different outfits. These days, it seems like you get one awesome piece and just wear it with nothing but heels and its getting skanky.
I'm not like those haters that just say you're skanky, I love every piece you have, including this amazing dress, but my point is I miss when you used to take an awesome piece and wear it with different layers and make it look classy and interesting. Every picture these days is just legs, stomach and heels. This post is a dress and boots, the last post was a short dress and boots, after that is really short short with a tied up wife beater. Inbetween though, you have great posts like the one with the fur vest and black dress.
I just miss looking at an outfit post and actually going, oh I can take that and make it my own. There's not much room for inspiration if you just wear a dress and heels, anyone can wear an expensive dress with expensive heels if they have the guts (but not necessarily creativity and style).
The dress is freakin' amazing!
& I love the white on white :D
i'm so sorry, i just KNOW that if i tried to wear this dress i would injure myself! i just know it! so, well-done you!
Hi from New Zealand! It is very beautiful - everything you've heard is true.
love this girly! ask and ye shall
recieve lol.
the boots just make it even more fab
http://www.styleanthem.blogspot
rumi,
you look amazing in that dress & absolutely love the emma cook boots with it!!!
xoxo
I saw that dress at the nyc boutique Inven.tory a few days ago, it's really awesome. Looks great on you!
The dress is too trashy but only you can make it somewhat look good. It's still pretty awful to me though. Still the boots go nicely with them.
ammmmmazing!
Sweettttttttt. rumi you rock.

Ah this dress is in my inspiration folder as something Im planning to DIY. Just probably with less skin showing in the end..
I love the white Emma Cook's!
i don't even feel like commenting anymore because i don't think i could accurately convey how much i admire and respect you & your clearly defined style. it's just beyond words. you have earned your place in the blogosphere and in the fashion world, and it's incredibly well-deserved.
much love
i love this look. white on white... you look amazing. and the shoes are awesome:)
i love sgc too. i own a tie dye dress by them that i think you would loooove.

NZ is def a road trip kinda place!
I think the dress is kinda weird XD
Only you would be able to pull something like this off :)
aahh i LOVE that dress! u always find such amazing outfits. I wanna try to make this dress my DIY project.. just for fun of course.
while you're in NZ, pop over to AUSTRALIA
where the bloody hell are you?
(hahah)
Touche Tegan!
This dress is pretty awful- like it was handmade... in a bad way. Also, I don't understand why people want to marry those EC boots. The black ones are pretty cool and your last post was adorable, but this is just trash.
Keep up the good work!
I'm so going to diy that :D
wow
perfection
nothing else to say!
cool pics! once again I wish I had your body. Skinny is hot!
YOU LOOK GREAT!
The TopShop boots are perfect. I want a pair. :L
Yes, I want to visit NZ as well. Personally I want to visit Zion Wildlife Gardens because of the Lion Man series.
NZ is more beautiful than you could ever imagine!
yu look great as usual, but im even more in love with the way your boyfriend is taking pictues!
i love that dress, rumi!
it's so unique!
Wow you have the greatest body everrr. That dress looks great on you, too.
stolen girlfriends club are so amazing.
their latest collection is insanely good, including that divine dress you are wearing!!
this is the best dress ever
LOVE this dress - it fits really well - did you have to alter it, or is it actually cut that way?
Still loving the new boots as well....
love Kate x

Hey, long time reader, first time comment poster =)
I have something to say to Tegan and sad and the rest of you. Fashion is not shallow or anti-recessionish. It is art. You can say that if you want, but fashion is something that makes people feel good about themselves, and in the current economic climate, I think we need to feel good about ourselves. I personally love poring over fashion blogs, and I am not vacuous and unintelligent - I have an IQ of 151. Go ahead and say that fashion is the preserve of vacuous girls with more lipgloss than brains if it makes you feel good about yourself, but you may just as well say that art is pointless, that drama is pointless, and close down every gallery and theatre in town.
Rumi, I personally adore this dress, and I admire your courage in being able to wear things like this. Tragically, Ireland is always going to be a bit too cold for that =)
Rumi i love that white dress..absolutely stunning!!
Aww the dress is really sweet. love that its innocent from the back;)
http://inyourfacefashion.blogspot.com/
Rumi, New Zealand is pretty boring. I recommend you visit when you're over 50.
you pulled the dress off so well.
love it! and yea somehow i miss the way you put layers into outfit.

Oh, I love that dress!
You look amazing, I love that dress :)

RE : Tomohi said...
um IQ of 150? you can't even spell? haha sorry, but yeah, whatever. totally agree with you though!
love your dress rumi. haters suck. you look great. and to those going on about her wearing less layers...clearly IT IS SUMMER!!!!!! why would she get all layered up...where i come from sometimes it is SO hot you don't know what to do with yourself..even wearing less on your wrists cools you down..so shut the hell up about the lack of layering!
i have said my bi. and that is all.
*said my bit
looks great~!!
I love your dress, attempting to recreate it with this long black tee I have :)
To the anon above: Ever thought that English might not be her first language? Spelling has nothing to do with IQ anyways, Einstein was known to have dyslexia..
i think you might appreciate the label 'ellery', which pretty much has your style written all over it. http://www.thegrandsocial.com.au/index/e-l-l-e-r-y
all chains/black/leather :)
Interesting dress, to say the least! Rumi, you are absolutely glowing. So jealous of those EC boots - I had to return the green pair because they just didn't fit me properly :(
xoxo
interesting dress! http://isnotfashion.blogspot.com
there are no spelling mistakes in tomohi's reply. but whatevs.
Can you make a post some time about your usual day? You know, what you do, what you wear, what you eat and stuff. THanks Rumi, luv u!
Trying too hard. Knighttcat and Rumi seem to have taken over the blogasphere which is slowly influencing f21 and other stores to sell this crap. So sick of seeing stud boyfriend jeans and mesh t shirts. Where is the girly aspect of being a girl? It's lost in this grunge crapola.
Rumi can dress how she wants but it really doesn't compliment her shape or look.
I have a dress really similar to this-- LOVE IT :]
Hop over to my blog if you get a chance!
www.mademoisellemode.wordpress.com
You are so fantastic ! Your shoes ! Perfect hoodie ! Wonderful Rumi ! ! !
ahhh Lord of the Rings ;D
my dream is to visit New Zealnd and experience all of its beauty.
I really really do like this dress
inspiration. love the dress!
Not that the outfits weren't enough already, I envy you even more since you have the weather to wear all that beauty.
Fabulous dress!
Sweet dress
Sweet body
Sweet girl
perfect combo:)
Actually, you're right, English is not my first language. I have a Japanese name for a reason =P
I love the dress
i love this dress, it looks absolutly amazing on you, Could i just ask where you found your white emma cook heels?
you got the dress!
It looks even better than I expected. :) xo
you got the dress!
It looks even better than I expected. :) xo
SEXY!
i LOVE this outfit
the dress looks a little big for you in the 2nd picture.
This dress is the epitome of cool. Loving your style girl...

http://josclothes.blogspot.com/
sorry their are spelling mistakes..you saying there isn't just made yourself look a little silly. I am sorry Tomohi for not assuming you were not english speaking. I was not trying to attack what you said; as I actually agree wit you. I just don't think your IQ needs to come into a comment on a fashion blog? Just came accross as arrogant.
haha i said their instead of there..but i never said i was a genius. touche. now i am the idiot.
HAHAHAHAHAH IQ of 151. i am still laughing about the pretentiousness and overall inanity of that comment, tomohi.
as for the dress....im sure you could have easily made that yourself rumi. arent you worried about people thinking you are a prostitute? that is what i would think if i saw this on the street. then again, i live in london, not in southern ca.
i think you can be a bit more creative in terms of your style instead of promoting freebies that you receive from designers. it seems that you are a wannabe model, more devoted to shameless and vain self-promotion, rather than the actual pursuit of fashion as 'art.'
the dress looks awesome on you and im dying over the shoes. lucky girl!
There is not much to say, but; AWESOME. I do believe that you're one of few that does that dress justice. You look amazing, as always. Looking forward to more great shots!
I don't get why people read your blog if they don't like it! I think you look amazing x
in spanish... es-pec-ta-cu-lar.
i love this!
Love the dress - seems like an amazing DIY candidate
oh, rumi, you didn't.
but, you did! only you could look unbelievably cool in a dress like that!
p.s. thanks so much for the stud sugggestion, i ordered 500 last night! i'll let you know when i finish my diy with them! :)
"it seems that you are a wannabe model, more devoted to shameless and vain self-promotion, rather than the actual pursuit of fashion as 'art."
SO TRUE!
I think people get sickened by these uber fans. People asking for certain brands of lipstick and stuff! Just scary! Shes wearing RED lipstick! There are many brands and nothing special from what I see about the brand she is wearing. Rumi puts on a scarf, tanktop and jeans and OMG no one can believe how awesome she looks! Come on people everything Rumi does or wears isnt genious! Its the ass kissing that puts a sour taste in peoples mouths..The fact that she can go to good will and buy something for five bucks, wear it in her shoot, then turn around and sell it on her ebay for 150 bucks is genious however! Just idiots! You people just go with the flow huh? Lame asses!
goodness a lot of mixed emotions on these comments....personally i love the dress its something different yes it does look like it could be DIY but what is so bad about it but anyways....the outfit is cute and your style is unique and just YOU! i respect that =]
Wow, who knew this simple little post would cause so much drama?
Everyone needs to get a grip.
ps.
Anons are cowards.
pps.
I like the dress. Looks like a great DIY.
You have fabulous photos! What is your ethnicity, you're look is so exotic and gorgeous!
Fantastic!
tegan and sad,
y'all really are a couple of dumbasses.
sad, your solution stares you in your sad, miserable face: stop reading the blog, stop wasting your time here, go do something worthwhile with your time if you don't deem this worthwhile. there are a ton of people out there interested in non-superficial things, if you haven't found them yet and are sitting around being sad and reading fashiontoast cuz you don't see the alternative...then MY GOD YOU NEED TO GET OUTSIDE AND OPEN YOUR EYES. FUCK.
tegan, last i heard the recession hadn't "taken" anyone's life or anyone's family away from them. rumi gets free clothes after years of blogging because of the influence she has built up online; because of ppl like you, and me, and all the hundreds of other readers and commenters, rumi is influential and so designers/clothes makers/jewelry makers etc. send her free stuff so she in turn will promote them. it's pretty simple. you'd be lapping it up if anyone sent you some free shit. and you think colin should start his own blog? yeah why doesn't he just re-post all his rumi photos...that's all you know he's good at anyway.
it's simple people. why you gotta make it so complicated and sad. silly rabbits.
oh and for the person whining about lack of layers...
you didn't notice the first picture??? i personally thought that was some ill layering..
tj = perfect response.
wtf ppl get a life and stop being bitches.
the dress is bitchin'
damn. that's one serious dress. i'm convinced only you can pull that off. looks divine on you!
This shoot has a back-to-basics look- this LWD[with artful safety pins] is all that is needed here for a cool, light, yet edgy ensemble. Somewhat Agyness Dean meets Serena Van der Woodson. Well done, fashiontoast.
Like my take? Check out the next best fashion blog for those with a 'passion for fashion'[[cue the Bratz Dolls]], Confessions of a Teen Fashionista:

Oh, and did I mention i'm 12 years old?
Simply GORGEOUS.
oh my.
This dress is awesome. I really want to attempt a DIY version...

Britt
this dress is so cool. it reminds me slightly of the dress that made Elizabeth Hurley famous, but more wearable & of course for daily wear.
omg guys, i got so stoked and we were all like stoked and everyone was so totally stoked
^btw, you look like a cheap hooker in your pictures
