This is the perfect time to buy sun protective gear.
SPF a plenty… Skinhealth makes it so easy to stay healthy while still enjoying the sun!
Perhaps a rash guard or two… Cabana Life has been a fave for years (both for children and adults).
Maybe a fun sun skirt (with a secret built in compression band) that works as a great poolside lounging accessory!
SwimRISE has recently launched this clever creation, and even has a Fourth of July version, complete with stars and stripes The brand, created by a mother daughter entrepreneurial duo in Florida, is sure to update pool & beachside elegance!

Winter has officially arrived. Coldest week of the year here in Boston right now.
Seriously, this blogger needs a palm tree.
There is a silver lining to this cold bleak grey week. I blame German dockhands for my happy warmth.
Wellenstyn jackets were originally made out of sail cloth, a material strong enough to withstand wind, cold and damp. It’s like the shipyards of Hamburg are sister ports with Boston. Brrrrrrrrrrr Frauline!
Glencheck, navy blue, camel, black, royal blue, metallic, grey, red, lime green, what’s your pleasure? Any choice will deliver delirious warmth, perfect for building snow forts or surviving snowball attacks!
Waist length, car coat or bomber?
Down, faux fur, three in one shell with a vest to wear once it all thaws out?
Done, done and done. There is even room to dabble in the mens section if you want a different cut. Or surprise your man with a crazy warm winter coat!
There are now four Wellenstyn stores in the US, one in California, one in New York City, and two outlets, one in Chicago and one in Wrentham, MA. Jackets at the outlet run around $400-600, and worth every single penny when the temperature is zero – not including wind chill. #hatewindchillmorethanbangs
All Wellenstyn jackets are either waterproof or water resistant – this is very good news for anyone who lives where “Nor’Easter” is part of the forecast! Plus each jacket style has its own adorable name. Obviously “darling” called to me.
“Schneeauber” means snow magic in German. reversecommuter thinks Wellenstyn may be a perfect synonym.
O.W.O. (One Weekend Outfit) all about keeping warm but not too warm!
Vortex Schmortex. Weather radar had predicted a freezing cold weekend and didn’t deliver. reversecommuter was not disappointed, although running around prepping my little princess’ birthday party (complete with photo booth props that I clearly had to test drive!) kept me so busy I barely noticed the weather!
Shearling, fur and denim made for a perfect weekend outfit. Layering a long sleeve t-shirt with a boyfriend cut sweater under a cropped jacket can carry you through the day. J Crew has some great boyfriend sweaters at budget friendly prices – did you know that their cashmere sweaters are made with the same wool as Loro Piana? Psst – 25% off the regular price today with the code “SHOPNOW”.
Sunshine plus the end of the week = giddy fashion blogger!
DSquared2 (the beyond brilliant line by twin Canadian brothers Dan & Dean Caten) is about to open a store in the U.S., finally in my humble opinion, on Rodeo Drive.
reversecommuter has loved/obsessed over these designers since waaaaaaaay back to my very first job, retail shop girl for Ports International when Dan & Dean were the head designers.
DSquared2 presented their Spring 2015 show yesterday in Milan and it did not disappoint! They are mad geniuses (or is that genuii?) for denim – their jeans are the truest form of beauty that no other denim designer has ever touched.
Add to that their shoes, bags, hats, dresses, trenches, not to mention leather and this line is truly one to be VERY excited about. Not to mention, all the models were sporting eyewear that matched the twins – adorbs!
Etro and Missoni presented at Milan Fashion Week today and reversecommuter is now dreaming in technicolor gorgeousness!
Even in Fall Collections both of these houses work in bright rich tones, a perfectly timed reminder to embrace the rainbow as we slowly enter the colder months.
Nothing makes black, grey and blue pop more than a hit of brilliance!
Stella does it again! Stella McCartney presented her Green Carpet Collection, highlighting a sustainable evening capsule collection and it not only makes the world a better place, it also for quicker heart rates amongst fashion lovers!
“The green carpet is the most sought-after validation in the fashion world for sustainability and excellence,” and this collection is so pretty it is easy to forget it is all eco too! Like falling into a decadent bowl of highlighter bright sorbet!
In a time of mass production, copying and reproductions and disposable fashion, Stella McCartney has once again risen to the tippetytop of designers. FAB FAB FAB!!!!!!!!
Celebrate that which makes you pop like a champagne cork this weekend – but do it in a Milan Fashion Week worthy outfit!

Sorry. Late posting. I blame the weather.
Jason Wu just presented a beyond-beautiful Spring 2015 Collection that was all about mules, navy blue *reversecommuter’s all-time-fave-color*, crisp whites, gorgeous tailored lines and rich suedes.
Seemingly the perfect collection to launch on the day he announced he had sold a majority share to Interluxe. CEO Gary Wasner has long been a Jason Wu fan, and the influx of cash will help him polish up his online business as well as build a flagship store. Congratulations on a banner day!
Choupette’s Shupette Shu Umera Holiday Line has released a sneak peak at the feline-ferociously gorgeous make-up!

It’s enough to make a fashion blogger PURRRRRRRRRRR!
NYFW is officially underway, which means reverse commuter is getting no sleep this weekend!
Better pop the champs, raise the flute and smile for everything that makes you look taller, thinner and more fashionable!

That was the view from the W Hotel Boston‘s rooftop.
reversecommuter had the pleasure of doing Tara Stiles‘ yoga class, on the ROOFTOP of the W Hotel Boston (cool right?!).
You don’t even know cool until you take The Yoga Rebel’s yoga class, on the rooftop of the W Hotel in Boston, listening to funky tunes, bending your body into contortions and being a rooftop warrior while watching planes fly by, all the while drooling over Tara’s UBER fab striped pants & cow face pose tank which she designed for REEBOK.
reversecommuter was barely able to contain herself and not start online shopping on her iphone while on her yoga mat I was SO in love with this outfit -the pants sadly are not available, but the tank is mine! OMMMMMMMM!
Click here to look at the current collection at REEBOK!
#POSEWHENEVER is a new launch by W Hotels to get people to stretch, pose, workout wherever, whenever!
Thank you W Hotel Boston!
Chicago. For the entire month of August. Quite fantastic.
Museums, art galleries, aquariums, live music…
A gorgeous hotel to call home – here are my banditos watching the Air & Water Show fly by our window!!!! Jets people, actual jets!
a PHENOMENAL beach one block away,
A LOT of time with very special friends, and the restaurants were RIDICULOUS! Special thank you to foodandwinehedonist for your expert opinions!!
and now back to being “suburbanly challenged”, #notsoeasyforacitygirl #oy.
Yup, some lady in a shop actually pointed to me and said that, LOUDLY, when describing to a salesperson the shape of her daughter. Stellar Moment.
reversecommuter responded in an appropriate manner for a fashion blogger…
Nothing like a teeny weeny Italian bikini to make a girl grateful for her “limitations”.
