12.01.2009

you were somehow the rain this thing could allow









(vintage coat, lace dress, chain necklace, and snakeskin clutch, Karen Walker sunglasses, Topshop Alexus boots)

Sometimes the way I get dressed is more haphazard than anything else..the clutch I found in a stash of my things at my parent's house, the sunglasses were smashed into my glove compartment, and I just really wanted to wear my new Topshop boots (elasticated side boots have been on my wishlist forever). These shots are from Friday, taken around Union Street in the city before sushi and hotel antics. The trip was short and sweet and I'm now back at home..the main event today was hosting a Japanese TV crew at my house to film a segment for a Tokyo-based show. It went really well but now I'm dead tired from a buildup of lack of sleep over the last couple days. Hope everyone had a great weekend..!

those boots are crazy high !

Jen said...

Love the boots. I practically live in Topshop! I miss it now I live in Japan though as they only have Topshop in Tokyo and it's a pretty small one. Topman is bigger :O but then that's Japan for ya, the men are often more 'stylish' than the girls. Gotta love those host boys! ;p

Can't wait till I go home in December to rummage around the HUGE Topshop in Manchester :D

Love the blog, keep up the good work!

P.S. Is the show screening in all Japan or just Tokyo? When?!

Those heels are so..wow.

Anonymous said...

Rumi, those bug eyeglassses do nothing for you and once again your hair looks truly awful. I don't know if you're attempting a fade or you just have endless 'root issues'. It also disappoints me that you would get those boots with the added elastic, when you have the same (or very similar) sans elastic. It's just like when you got the higher version of the red ankle docs... so pointles and exhibiting no style progress at all. Obviously I am a reader of your blog for me to recall these annoyances, so take this a constructive critic rather than a haterade sipping vent.

To end on a better note, for all you crazy about rumi's leather jacket in a Small, it's here:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Zara-Black-Leather-Biker-Style-Jacket-New-Sz-S_W0QQitemZ180439759061QQcmdZViewItemQQptZWomen_s_Clothing?hash=item2a030c38d5

Peace.

erika said...

i also have rumi's zara leather jacket in a small! ^ i was about to post it on ebay but if anyone wants it, i'm about to sell it. email me at pinkprincess113@yahoo.com for details. yes it's real leather!

hi rumi, sorry i just saw that comment above me and responded. love ur glasses + your hair. i'm curious to see if u are growing out your hair to its natural color or will you dye it again? i love ur natural color, it's very different and gorgeous!

love this look! the first pic is amazing!i've been eyeing those boots for ages, but feel like they are too similar to my 'aggie' pair.

Love how your clothes always fit you a little loosely, so you can play with their shape freely. And that red clutch is awesome. Clutches and purses are some of my favorite vintage/secondhand finds :)

Thanks a lot!

Great ensemble of black-the different textures keep it interesting. Your shoes remind me of some Tony Bianco's I've been crushing on for a while....and love the pop of red and lennon inspired shades.
