washing the eye of the land that has been down by the sea




Combination of photos I took throughout my day today, odd iPhone shots, and unsorted candid shots by Colin. Ever since the new year started it's been warm days, psychedelic sunsets, and beautifully depressing sights like fake snow littering entire alleys. But in a strange way it feels like it hasn't even begun.

SomedayNewYorker said...

Great corset. Every girl needs a basic corset/bustier in her wardrobe. Is it an ebay find?

Rumi said...

^
from a thrift store actually..originally Frederick's of Hollywood haha. Finally found one that's almost small enough :x

Strutt said...

i LOVE smoked salmon

hahaha

That sunset is beautiful, btw! I'm digging this 70 degree weather in LA...

SomedayNewYorker said...

Oh really. A Fredericks of Hollywood piece at a thrift store? Thats a good find. Did you get a good deal on it?
Corsets/busiters are always hard to find. They have to fit perfectly or they are useless.

i want everything said...

Love all these photos Rumi, some just show how beautiful San Diego is. I can't wait to be back this week! I hope the warm weather doesn't go away!

Hi Rumi =)
I like your blog, and you are lucky to be living in a warm place.
I live in Norway, and today it's -25 degrees. It's so cold! There was even -40 degrees in one place in Norway today. I hope the spring comes soon, but it will be two more months with cold weater before that...

Amela. said...

With love,

liang said...

great sense of how to use light.

Ditte said...

Beautiful pictures! Now I dream about the psychedelic sunsets and warm days. In my part of the world everything is white and silent right now. It is beatiful, but very cold... Do you want to switch?

Hey Rumi can you show us anymore pics of the outfit with the bustier and sweater. Just from the little I see I'm salivating! And I've said this a million times but Collin is a master of the camera and easy on the eyes might I add . . . respectfully ofcourse ;-)
