(Ray-ban aviators, vintage metal/mesh dress over vintage slipdress, Balenciaga platform sandals)
Through sheer luck I stumbled across these legendary SS07 Balenciagas on eBay last week. I don't know if it's just me but shoes are just looking more and more the same thing with a couple extra straps allocated here or there, but even a couple years after their release these still have that extra something special to me. The Birkenstock-style sole and massive platform just kill me. After a 15 minute battle with the buckle (really um unique and secure design job there) and an hour or so of baby deer-like steps they've proven really walkable.
Aside from that, it's a million degrees and I need to go find a pool or slither down to the beach now.

Shoes to die for - they are amazing ! I would probably skid on ice and break my neck in Montana :D
I.love.your.shoes. my first time commenting but i've been following your blog for awhile. it's uncanny how you make everything look so effortlessly amazing!
you look fantastic in aviators. but pretty much fantastic in everything though.
Those shoes look like they'd be extremely comfortable and supportive.. after some getting used to! I'm loving their mismatch appeal with the mesh (cork vs. metal) Another killer outfit!
you found them, thats love!
fate....shoes are sick, girl...m
yea i am totally jealous right now.
grrrrr.
ahhhhh you got those shoes! so great, i would never be able to walk in them! ahah, and that mesh dress is so freaking amazing! you look stunning rumi, as always

Those balenciagas are to die for and look so perfect for summer. Mental not i must try to get a pair. and the hole outfit together is perfection.

http://brokefashionblogger.blogspot.com
Beautiful shoes!
those shoes are ridiculously amazing, i'm green with envy :)
I love everything Balenciaga, and these shoes just made me love them even more. The sole looks like it's made of cork-like material--I would hope that they're comfortable! You really wear them well and you make it look effortless to walk in these tall shoes!

I love the shoessss!!! Sometimes I wait a couple of seasons until nobody is wearing a certain trend anymore, and then I purchase the item I want. Noboday wants to be wearing the same shoes everyone else is wearing, right?

OMG the dress is awesome and I admire you for wearing such high heels!
Wow, such beautiful timeless shoes!
Great find!
I don't know how you do it. Those are what? 5 inches? I went through a phase where I had bruises all over my knees from falling while wearing heels, and I'm only talking 3 or 4 inches.
Is that metal/mesh connected to the dress, or are you wear a slip under it?
Darling, you looks stunning!!
the metal dress is amazing!

ahhh I am sooo jealous of those!! I tried them on at the barney's warehouse sale last summer and passed them up for some siegerson morisson boots. CRY.

The shoes I don't like-looks like something Dr. Scholls would make. The dress is very interesting and as always amazing photography.
Fabulous shoes, the bag is nice

I love this metal mesh dress! Wow!!!
You're so daring in the way you pair things together! I love that you put brown with black, and threw a little edge into the look with the studded overlay.
Love, love, love that vintage dress! So cool! Those are some seriously high shoes - they look amazing!

So amazing shoes!
Hi, you look great in those!!
I got them at a private sale by Balenciaga for only 80$!!
Unfortunately, i'm still not used it. But they totally rock!!
P.S : your website rock!
You and me walk on the same wavelength in wanting every pair Mary Kate Olsen wears!!!! :]
Sooo jealous right now, haha lucky gal!

Damn, how do you walk in those heels? :D <3 your outfit though
The shoes are still beautiful.
Love Grace.
I so wish I was short and then I would LIVE in shoes like these!! So jelous.. x
stunning fit....divine shoes.....
i completely agree with what you said about shoes, it tends to be just a more or less extreme version of gladiators these days.
these balenciagas are very refreshing and fierce.
you look just amazing.
<3

I think we are all very jealous of your find.Those shoes are so sexy!!
bonbon’s vintage
sweet shoes - and happy to hear you admit to baby deer steps, so I'm not the only one lol. Seriously though, they look precariously great!
Love the lighting in most of your shots - the city always looks so deserted. What time of day do you usually shoot?
These shoes are really wonderful, for some reason they've always reminded me of a geisha.. and the dress reminds me of some kind of weird medieval armour. Awesome. Your hair is becoming progressively more blonde and though you can pull it off you looked really beautiful with the deeper brown hair. Commit to it already!
I loooooove those shoes!!!!!!! You can't be in your right mind if you're selling those... I know I wouldn't part with them for the world!
Anyway, are you lukcy or what?!
Great find
Great outfit
as always =D

I love the mesh dress and those are some killer heels!
New Zealand style at www.sophistokat.blogspot.com
Yeah, those shoes are epic. You should post a tutorial on how to walk in suckers like those...I'd appreciate it greatly considering I struggle sometimes with 3 inchers.
WHERE DIS YOU MANAGE TO GET THOSE GORGEOUS HEELS?!
WOW
and the dress is stellar..
love the mesh..
Ash
p.s. I never have such luck with EBay ....
:s
ahh those shoes are incredibly sexy
now those are some towering heels. i don't know what i like more, them or the dress...i'm actually leaning toward the dress! it's amazing.
I kind of hate you right now...the shoes are too die for.
I am sooooo envious of your new Balenciaga shoes. SIGH.... but Great find.
I love your style. /Isabel Sweden
adore your shoes and adore your purse....random question.
Have any of you heard of the speech in the movie Chasing Amy?
Im trying to find a song that ive forgotten the title and artist to. it is a song with a women crying in the background, repeating a song version of this speech. If any of you know the title and artist to the song comment the name because i think rumi MUST hear it! its something youll never forget.
Some of the lyrics are...
I cant look you into your eyes without feeling that longing that you only read about in trashy romance novels
Another amazing look, I love it. The shoes are cool.
un beso
i absolutely love your blog!!! i check it everyday :)
your style is amazing
love the shoes! xx

Ohh you got the Balenciaga gladiators i wanted them since such a long time ago

I'm very impressed you can walk in those shoes!! I mostly like your handbag and ray bans.
1500 sandals = rich bitch

the balanciagas are killer
Nice ;-)
OH MY SO NICE SHOES!! I LOVE THEM!
Chain mail dress plus that always spectacular ring plus the cork on those Balenciagas equals strangely medieval and alluring. I do love it.
Cheers,

I have no idea what you guys are seeing. That first picture... ewww. This is not a nice look on you. I'll admit, the shoes from the side are pretty killer but other than that... serious meh. Now if you look at Jane Aldridge, that girl knows how to work some phenomenal pieces. And she looks amazing doing it. That's why Vogue ran a piece on her. Love that blogger.
OMG, seriously? This MUST be a joke. Every picture is just OK, but the first is HID-E-OUS. You're still not a famous "model" yet Rumi and it shows.

I'm not liking your outfits lately. You look very ordinary.
