Since a fair number of people commented on the gold dress from the previous post - here's a better shot of it in the form of an outtake from a shoot I did with Elle Japan last summer during my brief dark brunette phase (I actually want to go back to a darker color eventually but am done screwing with my hair..too traumatizing when things go wrong). Randomly enough, this thing is by Arden B....I think I've set foot in that store twice in my life? I'm pretty sure it's the embellished denim and colorful faux fur that scare me away. So I picked it up at a flea market instead.
I'd say this is an accurate representation of the state of my desk area at all times - tall glass of water with an inch left untouched (I never drink that last inch), stack of Ray-ban cases, odd pieces of jewelry, weird pointless object on the floor (in this case an unplugged lamp), discarded Balenciaga strap, and multiple pairs of scissors (can't sew so I have to love them). Maybe add in my Macbook blaring music on the right since the pictured speakers broke last week and my Alexander Wang backpack hanging dismally from a tack below the clock. I've really spruced the place up in the last six months huh. The photos on my inspiration board probably change weekly..whenever I decide to decimate my latest stack of magazines.
Oh and also from the previous post - the mesh slipdress is by Madame Hawke, from New Zealand. And in the black and white photo I'm wearing a long skirt, not sweats haha. I'll save that post for a brave moment and do it right with Havaianas and a cut up tshirt.

Fantastic dress!!
http://kaalkaellingerne.wordpress.com/
What a beautiful picture! =)
pretty little desk/workplace. definitely inspiring me, as i'm in the midst of an extreme room makeover =)
i really do love that dress too.
i love how the color of the dress is more on the bronzy side(maybe its the lighting?) it makes it less flashy/over the top for daytime.
and i like how your desk doesn't have any drawer just like mine. more space for the legs lol
xo
You are stunning :)
Super la robe et elle te va super bien bravo and happy new year

A video tour of your closet would make my year lol *hint, hint*
Also that could've fooled me because the skirt looks like sweats ALOT. Cool.
I'm loving these updates, Rumi.

love this shot, the dress and your HAIR!!Damn it looks good, I say you suit darker shades...makes you look more oriental!!hehe x
I had to comment about this, but dude, I ALSO don't drink the last little inch of water in my glass - ever! My boyfriend goes, why is that? I don't really have an explanation for it but after a bit of thought I figured it was because I'm a bit of a germ-a-phobe. Something about that bottom of water touching that bottom part of the glass and then me drinking it is so gross to me. But of course, that explanation doesn't even make sense in itself. :/
fantastic dress! love it! I wish I was as organized as you with my desk lol mine is a disaster area ! lol
Beautiful!! I like you dark hair better!!
http://fashion-fever-ineke.blogspot.com/
That dress is definatly cute!
With love,
the dress looks great on you as well as the darker hair!
I got the same desk as you, from Ikea right?
I have messed around with my hair way too much too. I´m red at the moment but think I want to go back to my original colour, but that means a bit of bleaching and brown phases before. Don´t think the mane will be able to handle that.
such a stunningly gorgeous dress!! - XOXO, Natalya of Wear Necessities
that dress is really beautiful!
http://thedollhouse0101.blogspot.com/
A little shocked that the dress is an Arden B. Gorgeous though. And your desk area is uncannily similar to mine at this exact moment. Minus the fancy designer odds and ends.
Love Grace.
the dress is beautiful, that color gold suits you x

don't know. you're pretty ritch, even in life, in money, in fashion, in...wow. Actually i do not know anything about you, about your self, and it's kinda impotent to look at your pictures, your glamorous shots, and realize that i won't ever attain anything in life, but i can see it, i can see that you have such a great way of spend life. take care.
how did you obtein everything you got?
excuse me, i'm just jealous, but i needed to share this with someone sensible (i know you are).
hope all is well with you.

I love your dark hair. It makes me glad that I decided to go back dark.
When I saw and read this post, I couldn't take my mind off the song line "Livin my life like it's golden" by Jill Scott :) Which I'm sure you are, Rumi! Lovin this dress on you, especially with the addition of that silver jagged wrist candy [I have a similar one in black]. And in my opinion, this hair color on you rocks!! It provides such a soft balance, yet enhancing, your skin tone. Fingers crossed, when you decide to color your hair again, you'd opt for this same one :)

Omg I'm the same way too, I never drink the last bit b/c who knows, that's where all the dirt would drift down to right?
Very cool to see your desk! Your inspiration board is really neat, now I'm pondering whether to get my own up on my wall!
the dress is beautiful, love it! :))
