wild at heart





(vintage coat, Bebe knit chain dress, Deadly Ponies Precious sparrow necklace, Frye harness boots)

Devonport, NZ. We were advised by the geniuses behind Lonely Hearts to make sure to explore around here and though the wind pierced my coat, tangled my hair, and made my eyes water, the view was unforgettable and the grass like velvet.

It is so intensely exciting to see and hear what you thought of my hometown/city!! Devonport is great. You look even more awesome than usual here, maybe NZ suits you? You should think about that Bach some more! :-P

I like to see what you're putting together from time to time. Looks good. but SERIOUSLY that little braid thing you do EVERYDAY with your hair...needs to go. It looked SO good when you had a blown out at b&b. Let it all loose girl!

PeaceBone Vintage said...

I'm in love with the second photo, it's so pretty.. like something right out of movie set in 1972.

adrienne said...

why does it look like a park bench in the middle of nowhere?!! haha well anyhow you know just like me that sitting on the seat doesnt suffice, you got to sit on the back part! you look lovely dear!

Rumi,

You are freaking AWESOME. I've never seen anyone who can wear anything and make it look like it was invented solely for them. I'd probably look like bigfoot with that coat on lol but this whole look manages to be perfecto on you. Love the glasses and boots

Fashionista said...

Beautiful scenario and you look fantastic...love that fur jacket!!!

Lauren said...

I remember when you were lusting over those boots! Nice pics, however I always think those glasses are really unflattering on you

I like this outfit, I'm happy you're switching it up! I feel like I've been seeing a lot of crosses and large sweaters over slip dresses from you. But its cool that you stick to your style aesthetic...that's always tough with so many options out there and I like your point of view.
It's amazing the doors you're blog has opened for you, HERVE LEGER!!

Hi Rumi. I hope this coat is fake fur! NZ must be so breath-taking. The dress looks fabolous.

Sorry to say, but that coat looks like the cheapest thing ever. That kind of faux fur is pretty tacky and obvious... and I'm pretty sure I have a similar one lining the floor of my bathroom.

Hi Rumi, Congratulations on your featuring in Teen Vogue. There's no place for me to leave a comment on this post, so i wrote it here :) Wow, you're looking a bit barbaric here! Its so, wild & monstreous! The look is so i rough! Are you losing more weight this time? i hope you eat well Rumi because any skinnier will not look good on you, i seriously mean it. You're developing as an international blogger, therefore i do hope you cope well with the lifestyle and pressure. Hope eveything's well with you. Take care!

Awesome views :) And congrats for being featured in Teen Vogue. I wish I could be like u ;D

That vintage coat looks gorgeous on you. I've been getting a urge to buy one but I feel it will be hard trend to pull off. So I stuck with the fake fur vest, easy to pull of and I still got my fur fix.

I really hope this is a fake fur coat, not a real one...

all the fame for Rumi , but
how about her photographer ?
he should be at least as popular as her , arent these cliché worthy to appear in the Vogue ?
