(vintage sweater and belt, American Apparel bull denim shorts, Zara leather jacket, Elizabeth and James earrings, Pamela Love cross ring, Chanel backpack)
Sometimes the living room doesn't quite cut it but the nights are almost too cold to pull this crap off. My feet were frozen and I had to change into boots by actual exit time.
Re-loving headbands, red lips, and this tshirt-thin sweater with an ever so slightly more open knit on the sleeves.

Toni ha no! They're just the Ikea tea lights or whatever they're called. Capri Blue makes my favorite scented candles though.
Denise the lipstick is MAC's Russian Red

I love how comfortable this looks but holy crap I think I would have died of cold w/ such an open knit!
I love this look, Im really loving all shade of red lips right now! Im feeling you on the frozen, I think it was like 5 today, not fun. I had my big faux fur hood up today and this old guy was like "Holy Macarel, I like your hood, it looks warm" haha not warm enough unfortunately.
That jumper is perfect, I really want your wardrobe. How do you find it all?!

Rumi I see you're putting the Zara jacket into good use. Are you a model?
love your lippie, what is it? :)
You look pretty as always. The pictures are great. How do you do them? If you allow me, I don´t thing red lipstick suits you the best.

Crap indeed
the weird crawling-over-chairs poses are kinda awkward, IMO... but your lips are stunning and I really like your eye shadow too!

I think red lipstick looks fabulous on you!!
Aaah headbands I luv them and they have always suited you and of course Im luving the red lipstick too, very chic!!! Have a lovely week! : ) xoxo
Amazing outfit! The jacket is incredible, a pity that you were spending so much cold!
Kisses.

Never expected the simplicity of black and white to make red lipstick stand out so much more. It looks really nice. Inspiring look.
www.misspdolly.blogspot.com
i love the colour of your lips :) and that headband is looks great. Check out my blog:]
xx. A
The red is actually the perfect shade for your colouring...how long did it take to find it? I feel a little silly now that I never stopped loving headbands (espesh turban or cleaning lady styles!)so, yay, I feel a bit more validated!
PS feel free to share the lippie deets.
Ha, re read Denise comment and your answer...oooops. Russian Red, bonza!
Totally the right thing to mix black, whites with red lips. Wish I could go outside without wearing winter jacket, furry hat and gloves.
Love your jacket and the red lips!!

the red lips are lovely! i've heard that if you do lips, the eyes must be "naked" but you pull of eyes and lips very well! i'm not going to attempt this, lest i look like a total idiot :)

The red lips slash headband reminds me of mary kate.
What shade of red is your lip color? I love it!

Good lipstick choice. x
I have the exact same problem with assuming a "normal" position in a chair ;) I do the weirdest things with my legs whenever there are "armrests" ;)
I badly need this jacket! I'm tempted to wait for the sales... but I'm also scared to miss it. And this would be dramatic...
I like the whole look and the red lipstick. It looks so gorgeous on you!
Wow, you look stunning, as usual!
You look beautiful .. I love the red lipstick ;)

mmm i love ur style, but sorry for the contradiction, im not a fan of the red lips.
it makes u look a little old. :/
just my opinion.
I love t-shirt thin sweaters, yours are gorgeous!
the red lips work so well with this outfit
I'm a huge fan of headbands too. The look is really sweet.
With love,
I think the red lips and headband really help add a glamorous edge to this look. Great outfit!

I think the crawling over the chair poses are really awkward as well. The open legs is also really weird and not coming across as edgy. IDK what you were going for.
It make me sad that this blog is no longer about the clothes and now just about you and how you think you're a celebrity and how you think anything you wear looks awesome just because you are wearing it. It's evident by the fact that you post a ridiculous number of pictures of yourself trying to look nonchalant, and 1/2 the time your poses are so strange we can't even see your outfit properly (like the silver dress ones a while back, or even sequins on the bed-STAND UP).
sad many blogs go this route when they get big? the girl's heads get just as big?
i love your blog!
Just plain weird.
Wow...to Lauren with the hurtful post above:
Play nice, this is a great blog, regardless of your opinion. If you're not into the direction it's headed, don't read it...and start your own blog which chronicles your interests. That's the beauty of blogging...anyone can do it.
NOW...I love the use of flash in these photos...very Cobra Snakey. LOL.

^^ I just don't get why you are crawling over a table... crawling over a chair... opening your legs?
What am I missing?
Amazing!
XOXO

i too don't like the awkward posing ... i like when i can see your outfit .. love the headband i know just wahat you mean about the relove.
Rumi-if I looked that good in red lipstick---I think I'd wear it every single day! BTW I love the ring you wear on your index finger. It really suits you.
Love the lipstick and the headband..definently worth the cold hard work!! xxx

Outfit- totally fashionable... and I love the red lips.
What's not fashionable" PLASTIC PATIO FURNITURE!
But this is the real world, and I'm guessing you live the apartment life like myself, and not everyone has DWR chaise lounges perched outside. So, with that said, thanks for bringing the post down to reality. Most of us like to look the part, but beneath all the $$ we drop on clothes, are hand-me-down couches and plastic patio furniture :)
You rocking that red lipstick

rumi,
I've been following your blog for a long time and you are cool, interesting and you're often doing cool things with fashion. That being said, I just REALLY don't understand these constant poses and drugged out, "candids." I'd LOVE to see what you're wearing but all I can see is you making a random face while your body contorts into some random shape. We get it, you're beautiful. You would look equally - or more - beautiful if you slapped on a smile once in a while. At this point it's pretty clear that someone is taking the time to stage a photoshoot of you so why is this CHARADE of 'this-is-just-me-being-me-and-i-have-no-idea-anyone-if-taking-my-picture going on'?! It's ridiculous and at times it's not even flattering. At the very least could you include one picture in which your outfit is genuinely visible? I know this is coming off like one of those rants posted by the people who just come here to flame you, but honestly that is not what I'm trying to accomplish at all. I think you're really inspirational and you have a lot off great things to show - but for god's sakes, can you please bring the focus back to fashion????
Looove the red lips on you!! I've been wearing a lot of black and white lately too...check out my blog when you have time!

I love black, white, and red lips. And your leather jacket is awesome.
Come check out my $100 giveaway:
http://underfundedheiress.blogspot.com/
I love your style except I am tired of seeing the same tired blk leggings. There are all kinds of new leggings out there. Like leather or jeggins. Your style is too predictable now. Blk leggings witih oversized blk top or white top.
Anon 10:31 thank you!!! I couldn't have said it better myself?! If this is a fashion blog why can't we get a full-length photo where we can see your outfit from head to toe, what is this :-(
I really love high heels, but I'd like to know your secret; how do you get through the day with those sky-high heels of yours? Is it really so that you get used to wearing them? I still struggle with really high heels, so I'd like to have some help! And you definitely know the best I assume :) I'd really appreciate to hear some tips!
You look stunning as always! Although the thing I love most about you is the fact that you really seem like such a genuine, sweet & smart person :)
Your leather is beautiful.

I love it because it looks so perfectly 80's-beat-up-AND-cool!

I just ask of one small thing, you're posts are so posey now it would be great to have at least one head to toe shot of your amazing outfits :)
This is stunning, so brilliant.
Hope ou like my blog as much as i like yours...

Love red lips! Great fall look...and the thin sweater/leather coat is also great...
Perfect as allways :)
love this look!!!!!
you look gorgeous, i love the drama here and how the red lip totally pops :)
Perfect outfit!! =)
x!
i love that colour of red lipstick on you its gorgeous
you look beautiful!
OOOh Rumi! I love you in RED LIPS... :)
love the red matte lipstick :)
where is the headband from?
get rid of that so passe headband and red lipstick does not suit you cause you're kinda tan not really pale and makes you look cheap. i dont dislike you or something, i do read your blog and i think you're pretty but today you didnt make it well.
what size is your zara jacket? fits you nice
the last picture is the best :)
http://thedollhouse0101.blogspot.com/
Wow, for once I agree w/ one of the Anons. I would like to see more of the outfit. However, I think the candid thing is cute, Colin takes great pics and they don't look staged. She's just trying something new and finding herself w/ poses - you can't fault her for that. I find that I come to see what shots Colin has come up w/ more than anything now. I also miss the days when the entries would be more than a couple of sentences. I'd rather quality over quantity anyday. You have a great sense of humor Rumi, give us a long entry once in a while =)
And FYI - you don't have to be pale to wear red lips. I think Rumi has a gorgeous skin tone. A tone you're probably trying to spray on.
Best part is red lips, hands down. Always in style ;).
love back packs

your makeup couldn't be more gorgeous. i still don't think i'll ever be able to do red lips though!

Not digging the makeup but the jacket is to die for. I wish H&M would put out a nice under $100 leather jacket.
Nyway, you look just like this Filipino girl from youtube. The similarity is uncanny. I can't remember her account name but will post later when i do.
beautiful, i especially love the jacket! x
STUNNING!
ive got to get a cool headband like that! and the red lips classic luvs it

You look great. I love the headband!

i agree that i don't really understand this shoot, but I don't really care that I don't understand.
personally, I like the mix of standing-straight-so-we-can-see-your-outfit posts with more 'artsy' shots like this.
stunning! stunning!
beautiful make up (sophisticated) with powerful look (classic).
i love all the photos on this blog, they are great but seem effortless
What's worse than the poses are you trying to make us believe that lighting tiny tea votive candles takes that much effort and moving around.
I loved your sun-drenched photos and the recent flux of these vignetted, cobra snake, hipster ones seem so unnatural and try hard on your end...
Red lipstick looks good on you!
I saw you in a Japanese magazine some months ago.
I liked your outfits as always!
But you look more natural in your own blog which I like more!
Rumi, do you speak japanese?
Love,shiki
I have to agree, headbands and red lipstick rocks. Very 'Beautiful and the Damned'.
The Heartbreak
Nice change of scenery and I like the headband, did you make it yourself?

I absolutely love it!!
By the way all of you fashionistas, I found the most amazing magazine ever! It's called Schön! Magazine and it is just something so fresh and new that I am sure you will love it as much as i did! Check it out and let me know what you think.

Jaye , i didnt say her skin tone isnt fine ,i totally like her but she looks better with nude lipstick or without lipstick at all . red lipstick works better on swedes for example.
i love th candles and u look stunning!!!!

haven't worn red lipstick in forever, but may dig it out after seeing these pictures. the makeup is fabulous, & i am always very jealous of your jewellery.
fashionstolemyheart.blogspot.com
love the makeup and the headband
TRASHY, trashy, trash, Rumi. Your legs wide open like that looks vulgar. Lately you have been looking so gone; it's not even funny. You also look like you've lost some weight. You looked better before IMO.
The only thing I like here is your headband.
You kind of resemble the actress Bai Ling.
this is perfect!

Gorgeous photos!

Rumi, why can't you get in a chair properly like the rest of us? You do look really silly you do know that don't you?
rumi-
you are amazing. i love the red lips, but i have one suggestion. maybe you should do dark BROWN smoky eyes...i once went to the make up counter (years and years ago), and i was asking them to test out all this smoky makeup on me. it didnt look bad, but something was off. they removed the black and used the same smoky technique with shades of brown. it was genuis. it still looked sexy, but not harsh or out of place. i thought that maybe (since our skin tones/ hair color are similar) you would like my suggestion.
you are still my fave personal fashion blogger <3
xoxo
pretty! just close ur mouth! ;)
Zara leather jacket you say -- I didn't realize they had such style in terms of leather! Which section of Zara was that baby found in? Loves it.
looking stunning!!! love the red lips :)
http://nicholandbrooklyn.blogspot.com
hmmm same shit, different day,
you look beautiful rumi!! the colour pallette is fabulous and what i love more is the simplicity of your outfit against the drama of your accessories! one of my favourite posts!
THE JACKET IS GREAT.

CHICMUSE
i really like your red lipstick. it goes great with your skin tone. i am looking for something standout that i can wear that goes with dark skin. maybe one day!
http://unstoppablestyle.onsugar.com/
grat as always! but i've noticed you're really heavy on the eye makeup - which looks nice but i think you should maybe try it a bit lighter - the black eyes are getting too racoonish
awesome outfit rumi!
http://unstoppablestyle.onsugar.com/
Your make up breaks the bland black & white monotony. That's when b&w becomes cool.
You look gorgeous. Your leather jacket is the perfect leather jacket.
You look just like Gollum, preciouss.
Rumi's style:
oversized white top + black tights/leggings + high wedges
OR
oversized black top + black tights/leggings + high wedges.
Boring as fuck.
