Jonathan Simkhai Visits!

Posted on April 1, 2014 by reversecommuter

Jonathan Simkhai came to Boston this weekend to pour me champagne.

And host a Meet & Greet at Louis Boston…but mainly me and the champs.

Jonathan Simkhai Spring 2014 is a collection of feminine cuts, playful forms and flattering knitwear that can be ‘everyday incorporated’. reversecommuter has been a fan obsessed with his clothes since first introduction 2012, and each season the designs improve to a new, unimaginable level.

The other really incredible aspect of Jonathan Simkhai clothing is the price point, it is client friendly. LOVE!

“I know it sounds corny but I have always wanted to do this. Being a designer is my dream.” Jonathan Simkhai.

Lucky for us Jonathan, dreams come true!

reversecommuter is loving the slit godet tank – silk, sexy, versatile – bound to be a favorite basic in my Spring wardrobe. The classic cropped turtleneck – ridiculousness reinvented! Jonathan’s knit pencil skirt is quite possibly one of THE most flattering (aka forgiving) knit pieces available! Click the blue phrases, go shopping and wear gorgeous clothes!

O.W.O.

Kinda digging the O.W.O. posting every Monday (click here for the definition!)

Busy first weekend of Spring.

Funny how fast those two days fly by!

Saturday morning was my last long training run before the Boston Marathon (just one little tiny month away!!!!). It is an amazing experience training on the Marathon route with hundreds of other runners, you see some incredibly inspiring individuals, are greeted with a ton of happy smiles (despite the miles), and on occasion even get a high five! Boston Strong INDEED!

Still chilly in Boston so reversecommuter’s shearling is still getting used. Rumor has it there is yet ANOTHER snowstorm coming on Wednesday – so not in Vogue!

Cropped WHAT?!?

Posted on March 12, 2014 by reversecommuter

Memo to designers – Not all women’s stomachs are created equal.

Some are in their early twenties and have washboard six packs. Others are a teeny bit older and have had some babies, and are now the proud owners of tummy-Shar-Peis.

Hence the Spring fashion conundrum concerning crop tops & the need for Fashion Translation!

There are some wondrous collections out this spring, most of which are offering crop tops. What’s the owner of a muffin top to do?

Option One – the layered look. This is a great option for Spring (and almost Spring), as layering is key to survival when it is freezing in the morning then scorching in the afternoon.

Wear a longer tee short or blouse underneath the crop. But don’t tuck!

Option Two – Tune in tomorrow…… 🙂

Suburban Kale

Sub Urban Riot is a so-Cal label that is getting a ton of press right now for their celeb favorite KALE sweatshirt.

Their Cali-Casual attitude is reflected in their line and their Downtown L.A. shop. They instruct their customers to “Ditch the car, lose the big box retail, forget the suburbs…ride a bike.” It is like music to reversecommuter’s ears!

Personally reversecommuter is digging the men’s collection, especially the RIOT zip up hoodie, the KALE sweatshirt and the KWay Fleece Jacket (hello old school!). Click to “add to basket!”

Sweatshirts are the new hottest oldest thing to wear right now. They have been aroundsince grade school but are enjoying a redefined moment as a fancy dress up item. Who saw that coming? Click here for that answer (hint…reversecommuter).

What is better than a versatile, patterned or phrased piece that adds an element of unexpected fun? A piece that can be dressed up (add a blazer) or down (cut off jeans & flip flops after a day at the beach). A piece under $50. SAY WHAT??!?!!?!?

reversecommuter has a little surprise waiting for you – check in later today for a new posting related to Kale….

O.W.O. (one weekend outfit)

Despite the hype no snowstorm. Insert loud happy squeal here!!!

Hand candy is a huge trend right now, and an incredibly easy way to mix it up a little! Click here to see the choices at Bergdorf’s.

Owning a large assortment of boots is the key to winter happiness – and Fiorentini + Baker is a great line, great Italian leather, a little bit beaten up and great to wear everyday. Click here to look at their full line.
