a place in the sun







(Topshop crochet bodysuit, Levi's, vintage blazer, vintage rings and necklaces, Made Her Think talon ring, LD Tuttle boots, Earlums cuff earring, Alexander Wang bag)


Was seriously going to save this bodysuit for the 4th but when it arrived today I just really wanted to wear it. Oh well. Temporarily switching out the knuckle for the talon ring which is everything that I wanted it to be..I definitely go through jewelry buying stages and I'm pretty satisfied with this update. Taking my hair darker tomorrow, just not quite sure how much yet. Nervous!

Good luck with your hair! I'm thinking of going lighter...

Hey - I LOVE the talon ring - great to see it close up...

I have the EXACT same bodysuit in vintage white/cream and love it - used to hate crochet - but its back in a big way, and somehow better this time around.

Good luck with the hair dying!

Kate :-)

I love the crochet bodysuit. It looks awesome. The rings are stylish as well. The high waist shorts and the blazer fit perfectly to the crochet bodysuit.

WOW, your skin is... I don't even know. Perfect? Haha.

I think darker hair would be great, just keeping some blonde highlights in, of course.

All pieces of clothings work well together.

hm, I love that crochet thingy..

and I LOVE hearing about your change in haircolour! not because I don´t like your blonde self but because I am kind of obsessive about hairy things and the effect they have-
I threatening krystal to cut her hair for ages, haha!

so yeah, excited..

Nita and Buddy said...

HI there,I have been following your blog for a few months after seeing you spotlighted on the France Vogue site "Une fille un style". It is so refreshing to see someone so creative and innovative "on a budget - most of your pieces coming from Forever21 or vintage items; sometime I feel like anyone can look great when they have thousands to spend on their wardrobe so it it so inspirational to see the things you accomplish, looking amazing without going bankrupt!

Look awesome Rumi!!! I got that Made Her Think ring as well long time ago, it's a bit uncomfy to be honest. About goin darker....Girl, U gonna look hotter and more real. I think fake blond is so over nowadays (esp if U're naturally brunette, unless U're a Hollywood porn starish wannabe. lol. Anyway, U gonna look great, go med to dark brown and U can gradually go darker and darker as U wish. Gd Luck.

your natural hair colour would be best, i expect that is what you are been advised to return to. Natural is best, & it will make you look younger too!! Natural is best, don't be scared!!

Anonymous said...

You are totally beautiful, but this look bores me.... it's very generic...


And the shorts look like high-waisted granny underpants but made out of denim. I will never understand those.

Still, I love most all of your outfits. Just not the past two.

Anonymous said...

your 'stop and go' outfit was amazing because it was somewhat original.

this one is like any other girl walking down the street who thinks they're a fashionista.

keep going down the "stop and go" road of originality. you've been getting rather repetitive and less and less inspirational.

lianyc said...

:( i think my first comment from yesterday was deleted...
that was from the last post.
granted it was real random in terms of the post but it was about me loving your hair-and wanting to know
how to get it done for myself.
...and now you're going darker!!!!!
i'm sure it will look gorg...

still i wanna know how you got it so nice and perfectly light.

Your slack-jaw annoys me to no end! Especially in that 3rd picture. Pull it in! Get ortho surgery! It isn't cute. But thank god for darker hair. We all knew your "handlers" would advise it. You need to get savvy with that kind of thing, Rumi. C'mon? Bleach blonde? Not any remotely 'true' fashion circle digs on a wannabe.

Anonymous said...

im sure dark hair will look good on you =) and the outfit looks amazing as usual =D love the rings and the ear cuff too!

Anonymous said...

yes, for darker hair. finally. girl, dont deny your asian roots. it always bothers me when asian girls try to look more 'white' by dying their hair.

also, what about a smile? your poses are often the same.. usually, profile shots... but rarely a big, happy smile.

you have everything in the world to be happy for, so why not show it?

styleantagonist said...

Hey Rumi, ensemble looks good. About your hair, you look good in blonde if you're wearing shades. If you aren't, its better to have a darker hair color to match your eyes (you have an Asian feature & i can tell that the blonde isn't your natural hair color), in my honest opinion. Don't be discourage, everyone as different perspective of their own. Take care & have a nice day.

---------------------------------


Why don't you go on a freaking diet then you can wear the clothes lard ass. Rumi looks great in her clothes and different clothes look good on different body types. She knows how to play up her lovely body. Rumi's style is amazing and just because some people can't look good in it doesn't mean it would be a disaster - it looks awesome on girls w/ nice bodies. Who wants to see a 200 lb chick in silver mini shorts anyway?!

Get a life. Her style is amazing and you know it. That's why you come to her site. =) Maybe one day you can be 1/2 as hot as she is. . . . . . Til then dream big
