Goin' Back To Cali

























* Rumi Neely is featured in this blog plost
* All pictures are all over this beautiful state called California in 2010 and early 2011. In order from 1 - 12
* sorry but could not edit out the foul language, we are talking about muthafuckin' California now, aren't we?
1) Rumi is wearing gray fringe shirt from ebay, Steve Jeans - bell bottoms (I personally really enjoy these pants), UO leopard scarf, ray-ban shades and Balenciaga bag. This picture is my favourite, I love the background with the palm trees, it has such a retro feel. Can we say 1970s?
* Snapped in San Diego

2) Shakuhachi black romper, with big sleeves and tiny shorts in a deserted Palm Springs. I want this romper badly. The brand is based in Australia. I love the fact that it is an over sized romper, and not a tight knit one. Oh yeah and I love natural backgrounds, so the mountains are wicked. Again, retro feel. Let's take it back! This picture was taken in Feb 2011, the warmth of Cali kills me. Must go now.

3) Venice Beach, California - Canal
4a + b) I love Open Back, so this picture had to be featured for style. The open back black Top Shop one piece is perfect for those warm California days. It just goes to show, you do not need a dress to sport the low back. The boots are Sam Edelman Falken and a Balenciagia bag.
5) Philip Lim jacket ( worn and washed brown back, but black front), knit shorts from Japan and Top Shop boots. Yup, I could fo sho live here.
*Snapped in Palm Springs desert.
6) Absolutely love this outfit. It is so easy and effortless. Rumi is wearing vintage open knit fringe dress, on top of vintage silk slip dress. I LOVE feathers and plan to have my first jewelry line inspired by Native American jewelry and feathers (inspiration from California as well ). So, her Forever 21 necklace is one of my favs. Who knew it was Forever 21.... I didn't.
7a + b) White Lace Back from Stylestalker and J Brand jeans. The boots are Sam Edelman Falken and F21 headband ( native inspired :)! ). I love the boots, they are so military inspired.
*Snapped in Irvine, California.

8) Deserted Motel in Santa Monica, California. Even the most desolate things look so beautiful, only in California.
9) Summa Nights. See in Toronto, we do have warm summa nights, but after a certain time, the sweater will need to come out. HA, not in Cali. Rumi is roadside in Palm Springs wearing, BCBG dress, Sam Edelman Falken boots, vintage necklace and holding a dream catcher. Ah dream catchers, those were the days. Again Native inspired, I cannot wait to make my Native inspired line. I remember the dream catcher I hung over my light, what colourful days.....
10) Flow like a Butterfly in San Diego. I saw this picture and instantly fell in love with this dress. For those who know me, know that long dresses are not really my thing, but this one just speaks and flows. The dress is from a Japan label; Mercury Duo, Karen Walker shades, Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent wedges :D , and Alexander Wang bag.
*Snapped in San Diego
11 + 12) Venice Beach Canal, and Sunset on Californian Beach
" CALIFORNIA LOVE.... IN THE CITAAAY OF LA, IN THE CITAAAY, THE CITAY OF COMPTON. WE KEEP IT ROCKIN"... WE KEEP IT ROCKIN".....NOW LET ME WELCOME EVERYBODY TO THE WILD WILD WEST, A STATE THAT'S UNTOUCHABLE LIKE ELLIOT NESS, THE TRACK HITS YA EARDUM LIKE A SLUG TO YA CHEST, PACK A VEST FOR YOUR JIMMY IN THE CITY OF SEX." California Love - 2pac ft Dr Dre
Everyone loves the sunshine state. This post is dedicated to the one and only California. Summer 2011, I will be walking the streets, hopefully living the California life and selling my jewelry. I'll be GOIN BACK TO CALI, as BIGGIE says, "strictly for the weatha, women and the weed - sticky green ;)... ..If I got to choose a coast, I got to choose the East, I live out there so don't go there. But that don't mean a nigga can't rest in the west, see some nice breasts in the west, smoke some nice sess in the west, y'all niggaz is a mess thinkin' I'm gonna stop, givin' LA props".
Ha, see everyone loves Cali and what better way to have pictures of fashion blogger Rumi Neely; all over California, rockin' her style. This California Native looks great in the sunshine state. You always here the stories of people and their trips to California, I cannot wait. My jewelry will have the spirit of this state, so what better place to start selling it and make a name for it. Must get there now. I love warm weather in winter months and fashionable people all around. I love the canals and the beaches and the fact that smokes in Cali are $4 a pack. The state is filled with the raw , the real and the pretty. I want to see the good and the bad of Cali. I love my rap music, as you can tell, so Compton is a place on my list to visit. You always got to go to the birth place of the West Side Rap music. I cannot wait to spend nights in the desert, walk and drive the retro streets. PALM TREES. Fuck it, one way ticket now to the best state on Earth ( tied with New York, of course :D ). I am selling my beloved Louis Vuitton bag. Meh, whatever it takes, I'm goin' back to CALI.
