Jacket, no jacket, layers, stripping off the layers, OY!
Invest in a sleeveless vest.
Put a tank top underneath. Pair it with a long sleeved t-shirt. Add a thin cashmere layer. A tailored shirt works too.
Jeans, leggings, even a tailored knee length skirt works with this piece. Add a pair of statement boots and vamanos mamacita!
allow me to properly introduce you to the “WILD THING”. Currently sold out but the Florence, Italy based designer told me next week a new shipment arrives at Matchesfashion.com. Run, don’t walk and get yours!
One thing with fabulous fashion trends and styles is that they eventually repeat.
Clogs are back this Spring with a solid wooden-heeled thunk!
Marc Jacobs clogged up his Spring 2015 runway with color coordinated Dr. Scholl-esque shoes that are SO cute…ranging in price between $2000 – $2300, and selling out fast as per NYC boutique!
Gold, Military Green, Navy Blue (obviously reversecommuter is SUPER happy about that!), velvet, satin twill and suede – take your pick and stomp all over town owning that wooden statement!
Bits, leather and wood – yummy…and $850. Worth the investment – reverse commuter bought a pair of Gucci clogs in the late nineties (I KNOW!!!!) and they are still every bit as gorgeous now!
Dr. Scholl (as in the original clog meister) still delivers a collection in plain and stripes!
What Would Spartacus Wear? It is THE shoe question to pose for the coming Spring season. Perhaps Alexander McQueen‘s patent leather S&M inspired glads?
Gladiator Sandals are stomping back into our closets louder than a tour bus crowd entering the Colosseum. Lead the pack in Gianvito Rossi’s suede low wrap sandals?
There is a dizzying array of styles and designers offering up the loveliest lace ups, reversecommuter is having trouble making a decision (quelle surprise!). Valentino’s delicate laced up version is so gorgeous that for this shoe I would wrangle a lion or two.
Chloe’s gladiator offerings come in a flat or heeled version, both in a beyond-buttery suede just begging to be caressed…or worn.
Any shoe trend that allows my feet to be comfortable, run around after the banditos AND deliver a look that makes my husband raise an approving eyebrow is ALL GOOD, even with the extra 5 minutes it will involve to lace these beauties up!
Boho is everywhere in fashion – it is like a VW beetle that just won’t rust quietly away at the junkyard.
Tassles, suede, embroidery, add a little bit of frayed denim and a groovy easy vibe. Pick the designer and one spectacularly deceiving WOW piece to update your wardrobe. Boots, Tunic, Suede jacket, distressed denim and a trippy scarf to wrap around your head – the list goes on and on, just like the beat!
The budget can be yours to set. Invest and update now and enjoy it into Fall 2015. NYFW is delivering a Bevy of Boho across the runways as we speak (or blog, or read the blog, etc…).
No green juices involved, unless you so choose to sip some delish juiced veggies while reading this post.
New Year, New You. Time to take a break from the parties, the cocktails and all the other parts of the decadent life. Why not do the same to your wardrobe?
Closet Cleanse 2015! Pull those pieces that you have not worn in over two years, and put them in a box. Seal the box with tape, label it with a sharpie and record the date, all the while sniffling back the tears as you say adieu to those overalls, suede pants and fluorescent anythings. Put the box in the attic / basement / garage / etc, and revisit it in six months. If you’re closet resembles anything like Cher Horowitz’s (aka Alicia Silverstone in Clueless) then do 3+ boxes!
If you haven’t missed any one piece uncontrollably, as in waking in the middle of the night tear-streaked cheeks from sobbing into the pillow yearning for that mustard yellow pilled sweater, then give that box of previously passionately loved clothes to a charity of your choice.
Incidentally, this is a picture of the closet at Teen Vogue’s office – dare to dream people, dare to dream!
Funny reversecommuter story: my husband had a meeting at The New York Times and accidentally got off on the fashion floor – can you imagine?!?!?!? He said he realized that if I had been with him he probably would never have seen me again! LOL & painfully accurate!!!!
Go reward yourself with the purchase of something that has been sitting in your Moda Operandi or net-a-porter wish list. Maybe something in Pantone’s Color of the Year Marsala? Purging never looked so good!
King Karl shot is right out of the park as per usual on September 30th during PFW.
The knit pant trend a la Chanel and Marc Jacobs was prevalent on the runway, as were bullhorns for a rambunctious closing in the form of a fashion protest!
Looking to learn more about Chanel, such as what King Karl thinks or what playlist Michel Gaubert put together (great to use when putting together dinner party playlists), or even what Choupette is up to? Visit ChanelNews.com and click away to your misplaced-parisienne heart’s content!
Stuart Weitzman is known for his over-the-knee boot, aka the 5050 leather in the front, micro spandex stretch in the back (think of it as the mullet boot!).
Now Stuart is going for #ROCKROLLRIDE über fashion-focused wild abandon weekend away gorgeousness in the form of a video directed by Julia Restoin Roitfeld, a model and daughter of Carine, former editor of Vogue Paris and absolute fashion muse. Poppy Delevingne, sister of model of the moment Cara, and Dylan Penn, model and daughter of the ultimate Princess Bride, Robin Wright, star in the video. reverse commuter is beyond LOVING this video, the fashion, the music, the editing, it all just works seamlessly, barely noticeable is that you are being sold a pair of boots!
Design your very own pair of the Lowland online here, and obsess over the video all day long – you are very welcome.
Pack a picnic, including a flute and a bottle of champs, wear amazing boots, throw in a little fringe, and make your own version of the video this weekend!
reversecommuter is a huge fan of boots, and my ever growing collection of boots proves it!

However, there comes a time in every New Englander’s winter when boots are replaced with shoe fantasies dancing in our dreams!
Gucci loafers reversecommuter.com
Icky slushy messy months such as March and April beg for rubber soled shoes or permanent Hunter boots! And as previously mentioned, reversecommuter is over every single day boot wearing!

Gucci loafers, classic. Rubber soles – Italian Genius!
Pathetic. Truly I am. One day after a heat wave (that lasted five days with temps over 90!!) and I am OBSESSING over a cashmere and suede coat.
In my defence, it is designed by Diane von Furstenberg, for the first time in over a decade THE DIANE is the head designer for her Pre-Fall & Fall Collection. Click here to view the entire collection.
I even took selfies for Pete’s sake – clearly this means trouble! Oh Diane!!!!
Jacket, no jacket, layers, stripping off the layers, OY!
