(Forever 21, La Dama, and vintage necklaces, Donna Karan cashmere cardigan, vintage slipdress and belt, UO tights, Aldo platform sandals, Genevieve Jones fringe clutch)
By one of my favorite cafés, Alta in Newport Beach, after doing some shopping for the eBay store. Aside from having a rustic cabin feel, there's a book borrowing shelf and a place for frequent patrons to leave their mugs...and yeah some of the best coffee ever. We tried to get some photos of the inside but it was way too dark already...there was actually barely enough light to take these afterwards before retreating back south for some gym time, cooking up a massive artichoke, and trying to decide what to make of the British version of The Office. Really not looking forward to daylight savings on Sunday..why can't California go the way of Arizona and Hawaii and refuse to partake?
Thank you to Donna Karan and Genevieve Jones for these beautiful pieces. The cashmere cardigan is easily one of the most luxurious things in my wardrobe and I love its perfect charcoal gray. Worn with some old favorites, my perhaps most comfortable heels ever and this crazy bullet belt. I think autumn has finally made it here.

Great look! It's nice to see something simple on you once in awhile. :)
I think the British (and the original) "the Office" is great! I mean, no one beats Ricky Gervais' weird humor, the guy is actually like that in real life too! If you like it, you should check out the Extras, it's funny as hell!
Those are bullets on your belt?? I was going to say I love it because it kind of reminds me of a Rolex! :)
the Original version of the office is so brilliant and british... that's why they made an american version as our humour is so different! i personally hate the american one - a pale imitation :s
i, however, do love the outfit and i like the ways the photos have that grainy feel to them. the fringe clutch is gorgeous! this blog gets better and better :)

Very cool, I love that you are in all black, stunning :)
definitely one of my fav looks from you... and that belt is so sick.

Hats really work for you; I like the way you wear this one.
i love your belt! i also adore the way these photos were taken; i thought maybe it was the camera or editing but it may have just been the light! very old editorial look
love the way the belt stands out. we just had daylight saving over here, it gets dark so early now, quite depressing really
GUD VAD DU ÄR SNYGG! jag tror jag dööör av avundsjuka!!!

I don't like these pictures, you look so mopey. Quit trying to be Kate Moss!
OMG THE PHOTOGRAPHY!! Love love love :) Colin did an outstanding job on this one! Seriously, I'm falling in love with these editorial-worthy shots by the second. It's like they tell a story - a dark and mysterious one indeed :)
Also, I'm drooling over your fringe clutch! It definitely added that extra kick to your outfit Rumi! Makes me want one right this instant! (although of course, the fab bullet belt didn't hurt either).
So yeah, the photography + the outfit == Without a doubt, one of my favorite posts ever!!

loving all the black and the hat is awesome x
Looovvve that belt! it really stands out nicely with your black outfit.
that first shot is great nice work
http://deathtricks.blogspot.com/
your belt and bag are too good for words...
I love the hat, and the composition of the first picture. I like all that black, it's kind of film noir.
Though I see what you mean it was almost too dark to take photos - lost some of the detail :(
love the legs
love the bullet belt fieeerce!x
these photos have a lovely grainy look about them - really loving it!
did you guys try something different?
oh, and i'm in love with the bullet belt!
kisses, rumi,
RS :)
That belt is A-mazing! And you wear hats the way I wish I could. Hope you decided that the British 'The Office' was good too (pretty sure it came first) Ricky Gervais is hilarious, even if it is in a slightly creepy way!
gorgeous outfit...
dark and edgy - i love it!

I do really like this outfit, however your past post was possibly one of my favourite outfits that I've seen you in. Your so lucky to get goods for free from some amazing designers :) xx
British office is definitely better, and it is the original. The American is the the other version, Im Australia so Im not being biased. I could not stop laughing.
Hey Rumi,
I was just at Nordstrom corporate headquarters in Seattle and your pictures are all over the place for their S/S 10 trend reports.
I'm especially loving this outfit. :)
Great outfit! Love the cardi! ;)

great photo story. The photographer killed it
you look gorgeous!

Love Genevieve's bags!
Ok, I just discovered your blog the other day & I'm an instant addict. I do have a couple of questions:
1. Who takes your photos? They are really well done.
2. What is your ebay store? Are you selling vintage?
Love the Genevieve Jones fringe clutch. Must go look that one up.

I actually have the British version of The Office on dvd. I was put on to it by an old friend many years ago. To this day I have never seen the American version.
Great outfit, ps.
Love the all-black ensemble especially the fringe clutch!
black & gold ALWAYS works - want that fringe clutch!

I love the grainy-ness of the photos since the light was low. I also love how you can barely see your eyes in this hat because of the shadow.
Cool images!

Love your look!
love the look and funny title.
The hat is trendy with dark palette it's really cool and elegant.
I love this outfit Rumi! You put everything so perfectly together.
I love the bag, the fringe has that western feel, but it's not overdone.
Love that first photo, it seems so moody and perfect for the darkness of the outfit.
love the outfit, beautiful photos x
Love this outfit!!

british office is GENIUS.....the american one is idiotic and not funny

I love the outfit but i wish you would stop doing the whole paparazzi pose, you're not the olsens!!! and btw the british office is pure GENIUS!
the belt is really amazing and perfect for the look!
The Brits created the Office - the US one is a version, not the other way around. Ricky Gervais is a comic genius.

Especially the hat and th belt^^

geez, you look absolutely fantastic Rumi! love the hat and your nails...gonna go paint mine red in a jiffy now...:)
The British Office is a brilliant study in black humour - the American version has lost all the subtlety of the original. It's as though Americans are afraid of creating genuinely unsympathetic characters. Everything is TV-ugly, or TV-evil - there is never an honest portrayal of reality. I'm Australian, so also not biased because we have a fairly even mixture of Americana/Brittania over here. The same thing happened to the American adpation of the Australia series "Kath and Kim". The original is comedy gold - the American version was so bad that it actually caused me physical pain!
An amazing Outfit!
Rocking the Fedora, a gold belt is a great accent to an all black outfit.
Loving your bag, hat, necklace and shoes... Did I forget something? Oh yes: LOving also your cardigan
xxx:)
I hope we all give away clothes donna karan. only that it has contacted you this cardigan is always special.
Kisses from Spain
Love the belt and the shoes! <3
With love,
Wow Rumi this is probably your best look, deff! You look lovely in all black you should experiment with all black more often cuz it makes you look even more beautiful! so more black rumi! :)
I completely agree with these heels, I have the same pair and it's my go-to pair when I have a crazy day (I work in Education) and have to run around yet still look good. The black and black is lovely and damn this daylight savings, its the one thing I hate about Winter.
Love this outfit ! So dark but so gorgeous !
Fab outfit. You look great in black. :)

all black with the belt looks great.
that clutch is cute but it looks kind of annoying to carry around :P
The hat, dress, necklaces, clutch and shoes are so awesome!
xoxo
Massive fan of your blog sweet. First time to comment, my bad. Kudos to your boyfriend, fantastic photography skills. He manages to highlight your beauty perfectly :)
Loves it!!!
Outfit: You get an A girl. Gorgeous as usual.Super stylish and looking so hot wering black
As a TV show critic, you get a freaking F. Please, do not comment on what you do not understand. Stick to fashion. That's what you know and what you are good at.
You could do no wrong in my eyes but calling "The British Version" of the office was such a turn off.
ALL IN BLACK...NICE!!!!!!
http://just4funnews.blogspot.com/
I Like all your looks, in this case I love the touch that you give with the belt.

This is a great set rumi, looking good.
I miss the D&G wedges already!
Rumi it's just to die for!
Amazing pics once again, Rumi.
That black that flatters your figure sooo much! Good going. It was worth the wait, he hee.
you always look so bloody miserable
smile a bit!

Love that outfit! I LOVE Alta! I was there for lunch yesterday! (And, well, almost everyday...)

It's not the British version of 'The Office', it's the original version.

Great styling on this story. Even the bench looks glamorous!

I love Alta, and it's almost too convenient that Trovata is right across the street...I came across this blog and looked through some of your older posts and realized that I've totally read your blog tons of times before.
love the look, love the blog! thanks!
love the look.
Are you planning on wearing your black leather vintage over the knee dress boots again this winter?
LOVE THE BELTTTTTTTTTTTTT

Lovely outfit!!!!!!
You are pretty and I love your clothes and pictures!<3
Ihana asu(; Olet nätti! Mä rakastan sun vaatteita ja kuvia:)
I'm Finnish, that is why I translated it:D LOL
colors are beautiful in this shooting!
though, the best: the belt matches with the cooffe ;)
not joking anymore: ONE OF YOUR BESTS I think, the belt is so delicate!
i love the first two pictures, they're beautiful!
great outfit!!!
www.mode-damour.blogspot.com
beautiful!
i used to love this blog, but your outfits have gotten so boring and predictable.
Insanely boring.
Love you though.
(( aww ))
these pictures totally reminded me of my Trovata cardigan, need to find her to wear this fall-- back to you- I love the hat. The entire look is so cute!!
I have to ask, is this title a lyric taken from any particulars song?
It just sounds soooo familiar. I just can't put my finger on it... ;)
x
Awesome outfit. I love cozy cafes like that :)
Dude you look so good in the past few posts... and Colin's photography is like on a whole other level.
the low light + level of noise looks soo good in the last few photos. I always have trouble setting my own ISO in low light and making it look that good.
This outfit is almost perfect... I would have worn the Dolce platforms from the last post but only bc I have a hate-hate relationship with Aldo. Everytime I wear their shoes I end up with serious foot wounds.
x.katie
looking incredible in all black =)
and i'd probably kill to own what looks like the most perfect black cardigan.
i really adore your style ;) gorgeous
I think your man has really got the whole photography thing going on :) Love the second and third photo especially.
I love your style & i'm a big fan of your blog! what kind of camera do you use?
I like the grainy texture in these shots, and outfit looks great. I especially like the luxurious grey cardigan. There's something really sophisticated about that charcoal shade...
Oh, and Alta sounds like a great place. Wish there was somewhere like that near me!
