A story of two tops and two bottoms in Palm Springs…




(Theory Cully Cicero blouse, J Brand Super Skinny leather pants, Alexander Wang Fabiana heels)
That comforter reads Children of the Sun because it does.
While in the desert I seem to have adopted some sort of uniform that was for the most part completely white. Perhaps I was inspired by the local Gandalfs playing golf and wanted to give the whole thing my own twist. So here in these three looks we have two tops, two bottoms, and one pair of shoes. One of the most gratifying things is to build yourself a wardrobe where things go together without too much brain power being exerted. This also helps me in being a near criminal level re-wearer of things.



(vintage silk blouse, J Brand Super Skinny leather pants, Alexander Wang Fabiana sandals, Ray-ban Outsiders Oversized Wayfarers)
Chilling under the citrus trees with some beverage options. By the way J Brand your leather is the best for encasing legs ever, even (especially?) in this terrifying bright white. To think that my black versions are my go-to airplane gear is funny because these will only ever see LAX from the safety that being many layers deep in a suitcase offers. And even then I will worry about freak color transfer.

Put some slick heels on separates you could feasibly sleep in and you have a super relevant outfit, usually.






love this look! I love the fact that its almost pj like

i love the lover silk shorts! they’re so dainty and beautiful :)) At first glance I thought the theory blouse were PJ tops and that you were rocking an awesome PJ look!
btw. i think i see where you got your all white inspiration. :)
http://newbornfanatic.wordpress.com/
I think it’s some kind of pajama/real life hybrid, this top. Theory really needs to re-release it in more colors.
Amazing post!
Beautiful! Great photography!

amazing outfit, amazing photos!! <3
i adore your outfits !
its always kinda hard to pull off an all white outfit just because
its a) easier to get dirty and b)sometimes it jsut TOO white
but i gotta say i loved how you did it !
its my first time visiting your blog but i can already tell it has become one of my favorite<3
also its cool that your from california like me (:
This first picture is absolutely transcendental. It has such a brilliant vibe, a perfect illumination and you look like a godess in this scenario.
Great compositions. Sometimes plainness is sufficient to amaze.
http://THEURBANPROMENEUR.blogspot.com
Gah, such perfect desert garb! All-white certainly makes sense when you think about it, reflecting the sun as it does. I’m still regretting not owning those Wang Fabianas, such a perfect minimalist heel. Are they as uncomfortable as some people have said, in your experience? x
Kaitlyn
http://modernlegacy.blogspot.com
They aren’t a walk in the park cause there is basically no support for your foot. But they aren’t the most painful Wangs I’ve owned. That is an awful sentence to have to type.
Hm, yup point taken. Still, they look killer (in the BEST sense of the word).
You have the best pictures

You look perfect in all 3 of these combinations. There is nothing better than looking effortlessly chic and being able to re-wear everything.
Nice use of the pajama top! Steph & I have long been readers of your blog, and greatly admire everything you have done in terms of pioneering the definition of what it means to be a fashion blogger. I was interning at RVCA back in the day when you first worked on a collaboration with them, and loved the pieces that the collab came up with.

black and white is so classic. the pj top is perfect for palm springs- the desert city that never ages. thanks for inspiring me to wear more white in winter. also what hotel did you stay at? the place looks so chic. <3
a story of two tops and two bottoms in palm springs… should i get my mind out of the gutter now or later? lol
Adore the blouse with the black piped edging. Don’t know how you survived on so little, not sure I could have done it!!
Happy Monday Hun xoxo

Even with just a handful of pieces, you manage to make numerous stunning outfits.
Rumi, will you please just adopt me and teach me your amazing ways?! I honestly don’t know how you do it but you make even the simplest of things seem out of this world. It’s your talent I guess!
Black and white are the most basic of basics. I love that the three different outfits you’re sporting are all just variations of such easy concepts. White on white never ceases to be refreshing and oh so adventurous (have you seen the world out there? this is NOT, I repeat, NOT a white-on-white kind of world. yet you make it seem that way…)
The unbuttoned top revealing just a hint of a black bra is so sexy. I can only one day hope to be daring and wonderful enough to pull off such a risque look. You make it seem so innocent and natural in the sunlight though. Wow.
Then, when white on white just doesn’t cut it any more, you transition to the classic black and white. The combo of the blouse and the lacy shorts gives the look a very pajama-esque feel. It’s like you’re taking on the day by dressing as if you’re not taking on the day. Somehow that just confuses yet thrills me.
Also, there’s the fact that you seem to always photograph outfits in the most beautiful of locations. Natural sunlight, pretty skies, funky bedsheets, mountains, etc. You do it all and make nature fall at your knees, somehow perfectly fitting into each of your photographs.
Hats off once again (as always) to your amazingness, Rumi!
