(Rumi for RVCA Triad tank, H&M bra, Balenciaga cuff, vintage lace jacket, UO jeans, Ashish for Topshop boots)
We were bummed about Friday's and Saturday's rain at first but then ended up having a ton of fun shooting in it. I'm so excited to finally post one of the pieces that I designed for RVCA, the Triad Tank. It's set to be available through my blog starting spring '10 and then through RVCA subsequently. I really wanted to do something comfortable with a kind of fluid drape to it, a basic that could be worn with everything but still had a distinct look. I've been wearing it a ton in the past couple months and will fully vouch for the fact that the hem solves awkward leggings issues, can be worn with shorts without looking pants-less due to the open sides, and makes for a much less bulky half-tuck. Part II coming soon..
Other: also wearing the piece I posted a couple weeks ago from La Dama (new shop, really good jewelry selection), the lace jacket I found at a thrift store, and the first run in the Ashish boots was good. They're almost bouncy. Successfully talked Kristin into buying them in black at the store. Which I've visited twice..it's like Candyland, really.

Wah! The boots. Too awesome.
Love the vest. Will buy. You make those shoes look far more effortless than just about everyone else I've seen in them. You are one of the best.

Congratulations on the clothing line collaboration! I may be a tiny bit jealous, but just because I love designing clothes myself! :)
I think my favourite part of this outfit is the beautiful long lace cardigan/ coat. I would completely wear that.. Beautiful.
And the crazy boots just make sure its quirky. Great!

every detail you described about the design of the tank sounds perfect to me! i hate awkward legging issues, looking pantless and a bulky side tuck :-) will it come in any other colors?
Love your shoes! Love the outfit, what can I say.

That red rosary adds the perfect pop of color, as always Rumi, you killed it with this perfect outfit.
(I can't wait to buy the tank)

Rumi, you are too freaking skinny and that shirt is highly inappropriate, I liked ur outfit til you took off the sweater.
hmph.
beautiful shoes :D
While the prospect of your tank creating a "less bulky half-tuck" sounds intriguing, get your own aesthetic before you venture into fashion design, Rumi.
Talk about been there, worn that.
get it, girl. ;) I dig the necklace.
loving the shoes....
lmfao @ 'eat cake nowwww'.
you look very 'model meets street' comfy.
adorable snazzy shoes!
=^.^=
Once again beautifully done. Love the vest and lace cardigian. You have renewed the whole saggy hat look, definitely will give this ago!

Skinnies love being told how skinny they are. Comments make them happy.
As for the outfit, nothing new- shame it's fashion week Rumi.
love the boots and your design in tank!! cant wait for part two! :)

This time I like all outfits! They are natural and cool!
your make up is horrendous
i just love the word: "triad"
i'm over this look. the shoes are cool though.
wow. this is wretched.
very skimpy in a bad way.
you look emaciated. looking healthy is beautiful not like you haven't eaten in days. you look extra sick in that herve ledger dress i saw you in on cobrasnake.
such awkward poses!
ahhhhh. i used to love you, but this is just the final straw for me.
Ive noticed this wedges are a best seller!!!but still adore them!
Girls, no need to be so harsh, Rumi's probably a bit tired from the traveling and whatnot.
Rumi, you're so tiny! I've just surfed on your entire blog and my god, it seems that you disappear as days goes by... Hope you're fine, sincerely, because I loooove to read you! :O)
And your outfit? Love it with the lace jacket; without, I'm not sure because of the bra too much visible... But the black and white, the hat, the boots... Wow!
Sorry for my English, lolll
god i love these boots .a nd great tank design! love the drapey feel and oversized fit
i would wear that tank nonstop to the point where i would get seperation anxiety when i had to take it off for bed
love the mix of leopard with the black and white!
yay!! your tank!! so stoked for you love!!
you look awkward enough trying to pose all nonchalant and shit in the middle of a crowded street, the random emaciated bra/boob flashes just bring it to a whole other level of ridiculous.
I think I love your outfit more than life itself.
Hi Rumi,
May i ask where you bought your hat? :) Have fun at the rest of fashion week!
amazing outfit!!

As a long time reader, I applaud you for the success that you've earned through this blog, but you look sincerely bored these days (months, really). I suppose its easy (safe) to ride the downtown rich party girl look when the whole blog & fashion world has their eyes on you, but I think it would do your career some good to figure out what separates you from the rest. Breathe some new life into your style: OWN it instead of just consuming, consuming, consuming the next hot trend.
Rumi, as much as I admire your style and your blog, can you please stray from the loose white tank black bottoms combo?
I know you can do better then this!
Adore the bra and jacket though.
Much love x

i do like this... i feel like your outfits can be a bit, dare i say it, boring.. i think that the only thing keeping me interested in reading is the background of the pictures... liven it up girl!

Love the street shots, it looks so bustling & full of life around you!
Those shoes are sold out at Topshop:(
Love the rosary necklace.
I don't like it!!!! Sorry, I'm not your hater. You're still my fav blogger, but I'm so tired of this trashy look. Yeah, the Olson twins cut their pants, Erin wears that loose white tank without no bra.....U did better in last year Fashion Week. That booties are so common now and they ain't look that great either. I'm very sure people who love this look are below 20 yrs old gals. Or very high school.
pubic hair shoes
love this outfit
singlet is perfect
as are the shoes
i like the zebra ones more!
want that fucking bra so badly.
the tank is bananas, good job.
& 5th photograph is fucking amazing.
those shoes are hella cool

Looking a bit emaciated, Rumi. And throwing in "a bit" is putting it kindly....
Health is one thing, but don't you ever get tired of looking like an adolescent boy?

Totally agree with anon 4:46. I hate the tank sorry - and I dont really want to see your fried eggs and ribs thanks.
You look poor.
Your lace jacket falls beautifully.
Lovely and effortless as usual!
I'm going to New York in Dec/Jan..
and I must say - yours and some other bloggers recent pics are making me more excited!!
... always a pleasure to look at your blog! :)

I'm obsessed with that Triad Tank. I will only wear tanks that are very drapey and flowy and this one is perfect. Amazing design! :)
Great boots and you are perfect as always :)
I LOVE this lace cardigan/ white shirt combo. I am not a fan of the way the shirt falls. As a consumer I would buy it if it were more modest. I'd feel as though I had to wear a body suit underneath. There's a fine line (for everyday girls) between coyly sexy and outright trashy. Your clothing choices are fine though because of your job. But if you're trying to appeal to your fans I'd say add that Rumi touch but make it more modest. I would not feel comfortable with the side of my bra out, all of my back and possibly my boobs if I move to quickly.
my god a few of you people are venomous. even if you don't like something, I think there's a big difference between expressing that thought honestly yet respectfully, versus cutting someone down with glee.
regardless of rumi's level of talent or "un-talent," people who revel in cutting down other people never build themselves up in the process.
OH GOD. that jacket is so perfect.

Amazing piece, cleverly and simply designed
hey looks like you're at the italian street fair! love the tank top, it's great. :)
i love this beyond belief! that lace duster is so fucking awesome, love it rumi :)

I love how grungey this look is. Excellent.
Love the lace jacket and good job designing the RVCA tank!
love the boots and jacket!

Do you hate your eyes???
I would like to see them one day.
I didn't know "designing" a tank top (wait, that sounds like an internal oxymoron) required so much work, especially to look like a sliced up t-shirt. And while we're on the subject, no wonder you didn't walk in any shows! Don't you know that ribs aren't in???
great design, it looks like it is really wearable! I am dying over your leopard shoes!!!
if i had that figure I would so wear that top that way..the shoes are amazing..
Such a great tank top! Can't wait to get my hands on it! And your boots are amazing! Similar to the ones at Alexander Wang's spring show! Love the lace jacket! SO unique!

ugh yess i need a top that doesnt like pooch out when i only tuck half of it. and great way to get rid of the leggings problem, great idea! <3
bighairandbikinis.blogspot.com
happy for you!
I like it a lot with the hat + cardi + boots + red rosary necklace all on... except the black skinnies that look like a dog chewed them up is way too Olsen, they really should be the only ones to wear them like that in my opinion. Its such a tired look. :(
I think your ribs are awesome haha. Good thing you can get away with anything in New York :)

I'm in Love with your BOOTS.
And i love your tank, i hope you continue doing great Clothes!
the triad top is amazing! I've loved it since the first time I saw you wearing it! as you said, is a piece that you could wear with everythin but it's not so simple as a classical vest or tank. a great amazing piece!
I also like a lot the rosary from La dama (could you belive it?? the ships to italy is the price of the necklace twice doubled !!! I hate living in italy!!) and the lace cardigan... stunning!
I love the back of the tank but I can't say I'm a fan of the front or the sides of it. Are those deliberate holes cut out in the strap area at the front? Hmm.. Can't wait to see what else you've designed though :)
Do the Ashish boots run true to size? I think we are basically the same shoe size (EU37-37.5) and I was wondering what UK size you took in these (I'm usually a topshop UK4 but I thought I'd ask)
xoxo
powerful leopard shoes. Love it!!! timeless vision of this look grunge and classic at the same time
those shoes are amazing!
thats sooo amazing that you got to design! i love that tank, it seems so versatile and easy! beautiful!
Stunning pictures. Those shoes are fierce
I love you jacket it is outstanding
Omgosh bloggers all over the show now own these boots.

I like the fact that you designed something with a mindset on what a basic needs to be; versatile and easy to wear!
I really liked your description as well.... well written, dear.
By the way.. bouncy platforms also sound good to me. =)

wow, LOVING that tanktop! does look like it would solve all my "what to wear this with?" dilema I have with certain leggings:))
I LOVE the lace jacket, and those boots look amazing on you!

Thats great that you get to be designing clothes! Those are some gnarly shoes! Nice photos!
I'm quite excited about that tank becoming available to the public.
gosh i do love those shoes, the black ones are cool too
it looks a bit grey/cloudy, maybe best to keep the jacket on
but yeah, love the slouchy/rugged feel of the tank & rosary!
They're not really my style, but I LOVE those booties here.

those shoes, I've no words for their hotness!
I like how the diagonal hem on the tank makes it perfect for layering... it's like clothing engineering :P
Ahhh I'm sad that you went to Topshop twice and I never saw you... I went there on Monday when I was in NY!
i wanna be in your shoes.....
I love your photos, and I really love the vintage jacket but you have to eat something!:S

Rumi,
Love the tank and will probably end up buying it. Great job! I also think your lace jacket is a great find. Don't be afraid to go without makeup. You don't really need it. You are beautiful the way you are =)

That comment should not go without merit! Here it is again for y'all that missed it:
"Should have called this post 'tierd'."
Clever girl........
Collaborating with RVCA must be very exciting! That's great.
These shoes are a.m.a.z.i.n.g

I saw the shoes somewhere else. At first, I thought they are too loud. But when I see them again and again. They are not that bad after all. In fact, they look gorgeous. Way to go, Rumi.

I love that jacket. If you ever want to give it up for adoption, I can provide a loving home with many other jackets to play with. :)
soooo sick of you

Oh my! THE BOOTS!!! I'm drooling all over my computer!
Killer shoes Rumi!
I like the top and pants!
My opinion hardly matters BUT I must say I:
A) also would love to hear tips on how you can wear such high heels...please :)
and
B) you aren't too skinny. You are like really skinny but your arms look like they have some definition...you're just very slight through the ribcage, it's an elegant look. I don't think you look sick or emaciated or anything like that.
My two cents!
