Animal prints, a basic addition to any wardrobe. Why not bring out the animal instinct with the Sunshine?
Snake print in a blue hue from Equipment.
Paired up with a pair of Gap shorts (not every piece needs to break the bank!) and a pair of patent Lanvin ballet flats.
Now go cheer on that baseball / soccer / lacrosse game Super Mom…but don’t forget the SPF – only the clothes are snake like, not your skin!
The boyfriend cut is BIG this spring!
Distressed, sloppy, sexy jeans – nothing better. J Brand’s distressed Sonny is reversecommuter’s current LIVE IN choice.
Dress it up with heels and a silk top or down with a t-shirt and a leather biker jacket and ankle boots. Once it really warms up this style of jean BEGS for a tank tops and flip flops – perfect patio wear. Acne’s POP Light Vintage screams summer nights – why not start warming up now?
Want to cheat on your boyfriend (jeans)? MOTHER Denim’s The Overall Dropout (best name ever!!!!) allows you this extra curricular item.
The little things in life really do make me ridiculously happy.
Case in point, my scarf that throws in some much needed sunshine at a time when the weather is dipping into scary-frostbite-freezing-zone (and yes, that is an actual made-up meteorological term!).
Don’t let the cold win. Grab a bright accessory that makes you sing in the car with wild abandon. Click the pictures to get a bright scarf worth singing about!
Etro Scarf
Click here to visit the hermes scarf store – cannot post their pictures but trust me it is SO worth a visit!
It’s totally okay, the windows are up – it’s freezing out!
O.W.O. (One Weekend Outfit) is all about a conundrum of mine…
Why is it called a turtleneck?
Granted it delivers warmth but why the testudine reference? What does the rolled neck sweater style have to do with a hard shelled slow moving turtle?
And do not even get me started on all the lumps & bumps that come seemingly attached to sweaters!!
Best creative addition to the wardrobe in early fall? Un cravat. ( translation: a little neck scarf).
Adds a fun pop of color and fun flair to even the most basic of outfits – hello white t-shirt and ripped jeans, meet fancy scarf!
A little chill in the air but the sun is still blazing – so of course reversecommuter is going to squeeze a little more time out of the shorts season. Top a pair of shorts and a t-shirt with a blazer and a scarf et voila! Zippier than a Vespa!
Alexander Wang’s paisly ascot is a current fashion have, but Hermes is still the house of classic silk prints.
Vive la France – or at least the cool factor Isabel Marant sprinkles on all her clothes.
Hippy Dippy Tie Dye is such a creative way to differentiate a pair of jeans. Even if designer jeans are out of the budget’s reach, a bucket of bleach is always affordable!
Celine had a sweater/sweatshirt in the Fall 2013 Collection that reverse commuter obsessed over for a really long long long long time. Justifying $2000 for that piece was not going to happen in this lifetime.
Oh Happy Days! J Brand offers a similar piece for less than $300 – what is better than that?!?!?! NADA BABY!!!
When lying awake at night thinking about the AMAZEBALLS designer piece you have ripped out of a magazine, wondering how you are going to ever afford it, and how long it will take until you get baby spit or the remainders of a chocolate bar wiped on it while receiving a loving hug from your bandito, keep in mind that fashion is all about interpretation & creativity!
Beach Time is quickly approaching!
OBVIOUSLY that means Beach Towels must be purchased…
First up is the CUTEST frilliest funnest beach towel ever!
Missoni classic beach towel stripes are always in style.
Hermès offers the ULTIMATE luxe beach towel option.
True Story: reversecommuter has a friend who has a vacation home in the South of France and loaded up her towel basket with these incredible towels…only to have an assortment of guests take them as souvenirs!!!
reversecommuter’s ride turns into a beach buggy in the summer…
so naturally this towel needed to be mine!
As always, click the pictures to start your retail therapy session.
Not in size!
Palazzo pants silly! Palazzo Pants are best worn while hanging out in your Italian palazzo a la Peggy Guggenheim…
Peggy Guggenheim’s Venice Palazzo
but what the heck, let’s rock them in the ‘burbs!
Wide leg pants that flow so easily for now (maybe with a plain white t-shirt and a cropped jean jacket)…
Etro Palazzo Pants
and for later in the hot summer months…
Rosie Assoulin Palazzo Perfection!
Rosie Assoulin (aka manrepeller‘s bff) offers up this season’s ULTIMATE palazzo pant – drool/pant/dream!
Rosie Assoulin DRAMA Palazzo
Palazzo jumpsuits by Jonathan Simkhai and La Prestic Ouiston have patio seating and rosè sipping written all over them…

Housework mediocrity meet French fashion superiority. Bonjour!
Hermes
Folklore d’Henri d’Origny
Marie Antoinette said “Let Them Eat Cake!” 
In the same vein I say “Let reversecommuter Wear Hermes!”… 
in my hair… 
if I have to do hours upon hours upon hours of Fun Laundry! 
Yes, that is what I call it…it’s is a sad attempt at reverse psychology for reversecommuter!
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!
