(Forever 21 headband, Zara top, vintage shorts, Topshop wedges, Balenciaga bag)
I came and I saw. Cannot even describe the specific kind of weird/awesome involved in seeing the Forever 21 campaign all over New York. As in watching the video loop in Times Square or rushing through the subway trying to not be late and pausing for a second to look at the poster or failing to hail a cab with my face on it. My favorite had to have been some guy who started mocking my shirt as I walked by ("Hey you missed the sixties by about 4 decades, honey") and then quickly did a double take...("Wait you're the girl in the Forever 21 video..?! You are, aren't you!"). So awkward. As for the situation in general...just unbelievable.
Thank you to Dawn, Kira, Linda, Kate, and everyone at Forever 21 that I've been lucky enough to work with!

The top is greatm im wearing a similar dress right now!
Must be incredible to see yourself up there!
INDULGENTBRAINCANDY.BLOGSPOT.COM
You are very famous now! That guy must have been so embarrassed! It's obvious he is naive on fashion.
You have worked hard and come a long way from when you started your blog hun. You deserve all the best! Congrats on everything, your future is looking super bright and of course I love your top! : ) xxx
congratulations! of all the "fashion bloggers" out there, you are definitely one of the handful i would consider that stays true to a certain style, doesn't seem pretentious (a rareity in fashion blogging, so i've noticed!) and posts beautiful pictures that you and your style just happen to be beautifully placed in.
if it were almost any other blogger doing a campaign for f21 i would probably look disdainfully, but i'm so happy it's you and i'm so excited when i see your face on a huge billboard near my house! and somehow in even those pictures you have been able to maintain your individuality! i think you should definitely do one of the capsule collections for f21...it would sell out immediately. pls push the idea for me.:)
Wow that must be an amazing feeling - congrats! Here's hoping it could happen to some others in the blogsphere too :P x
http://chicramblings.blogspot.com/
This is so amazing, congrats :)

Really happy for you, the campaign looks great, though I can get how bizarre it must have felt to see your face blown up on the side of a bus! Love the anecdote about the rude guy, too.
Haha i love being mocked about my outfits by random guys, makes me love it even more!

OMG That's so cool! Being a model seems so cool to me!

lol at the guy who told you the sixties was four decades ago. It had to have been a point and laugh moment. He just didn't get the memo. The Attack of the 50 foot you has to be kinda cool. Good stuff
That must be the most surreal experience of your life...

I was in the city the day of the opening and your face was EVERYWHERE! Just about every bus that passed me had your face on it.

Simply awesome. I would die to have my photo taken in front of my giant face in times square.
Love the fringed shirt and wedges! Serves that guy right for being an ass, i bet his face was priceless!

The story about that guy was priceless! It must be surreal to see yourself up there. xo

love your shoes and jewelry
and your headband, you look cute with
this is a part of the disney-fication of times square and new york in general. you are so corny for posing in front of your own campaign. the only thing i'm impressed by is your shameless self-promotion. it's gross. and you're so trashy.
completely surreal! love it!

Rumi, I don't even know if you are going to see this, but I just have got to ask.
You did say in a preveious post "h/m by mio" that I quote;
"I'm finally inspired to learn how to use a curling iron."
And I am just asking if you mind putting up a picture, or tell me, how they did.
PS. I adore you blog, Rumi, it's such an inspiration, so to speak! And you are absolutely stunning just to add.
A lot of hugs, and goodluck wishes.
Nathalie Evelyn
What a rush, seeing your own ad!! Fabulous!! Major congratulations :)
I recently went to NYC and died when I found out you would be at the opening two days after I left.
But I had a serious fan-girl moment when I saw the billboard by Gap and when I saw a taxi.. and when I saw the looped video, haha.
I'm a huuuuge fan of yours! :D

You can't get a cab even when it's got your picture on it. That's New York!
wow, you are the testimonial of FOREVER 21! great!you are beautiful girl!!!*_*
remember seeing your tweet that you were coming to ny for the opening and thinking how cool it would be if you came to topshop while i was working. then to my surprise you did. haha so nice meeting you, your a sweet heart. sorry i left in a hurry i was just clocking back in to work

Oh gosh, your whole look is just perfect ! Can't find any other word to say, love everything. and i'm even a bit jaleous (:
Not to gawk, but I hyperventilate a little when your blog appears on my thread on Bloglovin. Just sayin'.
xo www.fashion-feline.blogspot.com
haha that story with the guy was hilarious. Great photos, Rumi! Must be great having your face all over New York :P
this outfit reminds me of vintage Rumi circa 2007/2008?
It's what made me fall in love with you in the first place!
So surreal. That's awesome for you. ...And that's an understatement.

WOW that's so randpom and totally funny ( the story about the guy.I love your outfit!!!!!
so awesome. Congrats again!
LOL @ guy. get it gurrrrrrrrrl
that's what he gets for critiquing someone else's personal style. Anyway, I've enjoyed your trip to the top since when you first started your blog. it must have been completely surreal to see yourself everywhere in NYC! I love that shot of you standing in front of your billboard... damn. celebrity! :)
That must be such a surreal feeling having large pictures of yourself everywhere, and being more recognised that ever before.
http://pagesixxx.blogspot.com
it most be so unrealistic to see yourself in a big poster over the town :P
i really like the fringe top and yeah i went to vegas for 4 of july and there was this big billboard of your f21 thing
and also you are in every page on those little books behind that taxis carry on what to do in vegas and all that , it was pretty cool
anyways girl, you look so rad here!
Love that shirt. And that guy sounds like a meanie, but heyyy, I bet he doesn't look as good as you do in denim shorts, heels, and a fringe top ;) Congrats again on the campaign!
http://closethound.blogspot.com/
Sharon
that's all pretty badass, congratulations on an amazing opportunity!
Ching ching
you are not amazing
maybe you convince them to bring F21 in romania cause we don;t have it here xD
You're so lucky to have the experiences that you do. I'd be envious, but really I'm just super inspired. I love your fringe shirt. There's just something about your style that is cohesive and effortless, but still picture perfect.
Stand on the top girl, I adore you :)
You look beautiful in this campaign :D
can't wait to shop some F21 things :D
Kisses, Céline

that guy is such a douchebag i bet he was one of those old creeps that just talk out loud. i love your shirt .. obvs we both know theres nothing wrong with it .
i mean i would have given him my meanest newyorker face of disgust .. by the way .. NYC is just as trashy as everywhere else. theres not that much chic going on here .. justsaying
Great style!!! love the top and the wedges!
xoxo
That's so awesome Rumi!! I'm so excited for you, it really must be amazing seeing yourself all over NY like that :D You should be so proud!

thats great, congrats!! so cool.
Ha! Take that, ignorant street man!
i absolutely love the shirt, the fringe is wonderful.
trashbagblack.blogspot.com
thats hilarious. it definitely is awkward when ppl make comments about your clothes right in front of you. once i had this guy loudly "ew" me for my thrifted cardigan haha.. at least you have a reason to be talked about, the campaign is gorgeous. congrats!
Hahah funny story. Congrats about everything!
annon: you are telling me that if you had a 50 foot billboard in times square and you were there you would NOT take a photo in front of it?
yeah, right. that's the biggest crock of bullshit i have heard thus far.
just admit it: you are jealous. in stead of talking trash why don't you channel that and do something about it. oh, sorry i forgot, you would rather sit there and hide behind a screen.
this is pretty awesome! congrats!
cool
once again: i love your wedges
you look gorgeous rumi and i am really happy for all of your success but enough with the fringe already. we get it.
Absolutely love that top and LOVE the fringe. It adds so much awesome energy. Reminds me of the Zara dress you rocked awhile back. So perfect
I love the top! That's gotta be so weird seeing yourself that big and multiple times!

I love that you took a photo in front of the campaign.. i walked by that billboard the other day and i was like OMG THAT'S RUMI! I got all excited, i felt like i knew you :)
