All hail the fur pompom.
Seriously THE accessory for Winter 2016.
Prices range from $10 for a street vendor version (perhaps the pompom is synthetic squirrel, perhaps not…),
To mid-range versions offered by Milner extraordinare, Eugenia Kim.
Up to stratosphere versions topped with fox from Loro Piana.
Whichever pompom tickles your fancy, know that moms everywhere are rejoicing about all the hats being worn!
Trapped at home with a sick little one? Soothing a sad sniffling sweet pea? No worries, you can still look killer while enjoying cabin fever!
Old school Adidas striped track pants are EVERYWHERE for Spring 2016. Grab them now and strut strut strut.
Add a Zara denim shirt on top
and a cute knit hat from The Third Piece and boom – Dr. Mommy is rocking it fierce in the ‘burbs.
A t-shirt from T by Alexander Wang in papaya will add instant luxe and sunshine to any grey winter day. The Outnet almost always has a smattering to offer, so why not save a little…and then buy more.
MOTHER denim’s The Dropout Fray (worn with bare feet) will make you believe it’s summer, simply add a light cashmere sweater and a smile!
Pajamas just for bed is so yesterday, or at least last night! Piamita’s silk cherry pajama top is the epitome of the cherry on top!
Just don’t let anyone wipe a runny nose on a dry clean only!
Gisele rocks them. 
Secretly I have been coveting these Stuart Weitzman gladiator sandals for a couple of months. Despite the fact that I live in Boston, a city where summer, aka sandal season, is only a few weeks long.
Nothing like a happy ending! #gottalovesaleseason 
ps they are SUPER comfy!!!!
Sun is out, blue skies are trying to peek through and snow is STILL on the ground. This season has officially been dubbed SPRINGTER!
Winter jackets are so yesterday – even if the temperature still dips into scary cold territory every other day. Layer it up and put away the puffer coats!
Veronica Beard’s dickie jacket offers the perfect solution. Blazer with interchangeable dickies that adapt as the season changes. Right now the obvious choice is their luxuriously warm Upstate woolen dickie.
As the snow melts (and it eventually will…) switch over to something a little less wooly and a little more fun such as Veronica Beard’s Tech Camo hoodie #LOVESWOONLOVE! No big surprise these gorgeous sisters-in-law were made CFDA members.
Another fun SPRINGTER option is a trench coat. But why not mix it up a little with a brilliant yellow Michael Lo Sordo silk satin trench?
This Australian designer has an unspoken elegance mixed with a wink of sporty fun in his designs that BEG to be worn and worn and worn until worn out completely!
Finally there is the classic trench option. Burberry’s hooded taffeta trench coach isn’t just fun to say but equally fun to wear!
The best option for the budgetarily impaired would be Zara’s cropped cotton trench at $149. The short cut mixes up a classic just enough to allow for a spring in your step!
A
“Puffer coats make me look slim”, said no one ever. Winter coats are necessary, warm and usually wide.
Now that March is here the outerwear options expand instead of your appearance!
Leather jackets layered underneath with cashmere sweaters, scarves and long sleevers allow for a new rotation in the closet – YAHOOOOZIES!
What a difference 24 hours makes. #understatement
Beach and palm trees one day, snow drifts taller than me the next. OLE!
Best way to beat the winter blahs is to continue the brilliant hues of the tropics. House of Holland’s brilliant purple jersey sweatshirt begs for a drink with an umbrella in it:
Old Man Winter get ready for a pop of color and a show of leg! Wear this sunshiny yellow skirt from J Crew with a turtleneck, a jean jacket and a simple tall boot to completely shock the cold!
Wear a sweater to keep warm but brighten up the outfit with Jonathan Simkhai’s multicolor sweater,delivering a hint of blue sky no matter what is going on outside!
Better than an extra large dose of vitamin D (although reversecommuter highly recommends that as well!).
Seriously, a sense of humor, cute winter accessories and a solid supply of champs are all absolute necessities when buried under 4+ feet of snow (and more coming later this week!!).
A fur pompom is THE hat this season, from the yoga studio to the grocery store to the school bus drop off, the pouffy fluffy pompom has been sported on tons of yummy mummies. Eugenia Kim, the milliner mistress, allows her pompom to speak for itself.
With snowdrifts taller than me at 5’9″ that brilliant colored pompom is a hugely appealing selling feature!
Canada Goose jackets seem to be more visible than the actual honking feathered geese themselves. The hat on the other hand is less recognizable but fabulous and WARM!
Who can’t love a hat that is furry and comes in hot pink, among other choices?
Rolling the perfect snowball takes more than just skill. The perfect furry mittens need to help mold the arsenal. Moncler’s leads the pack and knows just how to handle the packing snow too. reversecommuter’s favorite winter activity is the surprise snowball attack as the children get off the school bus #mommieshavefuntoo!!!
No snow day is complete without a pair of metallic moon boots!
This classic boot has withstood the test of time, let’s see how these babies handle a toboggan ride!
Blinding snow is no match for Fendi’s cats eye glasses made of acetate.
Now get out there and embrace winter…I will be right here making sure the champs is perfectly chilled, hot chocolate is so overrated!
Boston has survived Juno and is now a veritable winter wonderland. 
So now the obvious problem is how to look good while keeping the ears warm! (once that is solved the bags under my eyes will be tackled…) 
Chapkas, otherwise known as Trapper Hats seem to be all over the place. Eternally gorgeous Elle Macpherson chose the Chapka in Aspen. 
The price range is anywhere from under $100 all the way up to north of $1000, depending on what it is made of.
