Dare to Compare | Marc by Marc Jacobs and Ann Taylor LOFT

Dressing right for this spring and summer is all about including some tribal influences and safari style in your wardrobe. 2008’s classic uniform includes anything done in a crisp khaki — jackets, shirt dresses, or skirts – cinched with a fabulous skinny belt in a bright colour. I’m loving khaki skirts that hit just above the knee, done in a […]

Ask HOPE ROBERTSON | The Return of the Jean Jacket

I think jean jackets are coming back! What are your choices for a moderate budget?
Crystal
Like every quality piece of outerwear, a denim jacket can cost you. While I’m not totally sold on the classic denim jacket coming back into trend, I do think denim is a versatile alternative to a khaki blazer.
If your definition of ‘moderate […]

Marc by Marc Jacobs | Double Buckle Mary Janes

Mary jane pumps are about as iconic as Chanel No. 5 perfume. They’re a shoe that will never go out of style and that will never be out-dated.
So I love the look of these double buckle mary janes by Marc Jacobs. He’s a design god, so of course his shoes are absolutely amazing, and these pumps are […]

It’s highly unlikely I’d hand over close to $500 for a pair of shoes made from anything other than leather; I’d be more likely to do so if they were branded by genius Marc Jacobs.

I love the simplicity of black married to a classic shape, and a standard 3 1/2 inch […]

Hope Robertson’s ThisNext Picks | Man of the Moment Marc Jacobs

Ever since I started wearing my Marc Jacobs Collection glasses, I’ve developed an eagle eye for both his lines: Marc Jacobs Collection, and Marc by Marc Jacobs.

Marc by Marc Jacobs | Cobalt Boots

Like with these knee-high, fur-trimmed, luxe lug-soled boots from Marc Jacobs.

Marc by Marc Jacobs | Multi-Patterned Sweater

I love the sporadic splash of patterns on this cotton sweater, especially vivid when paired with shorts, tights, or super-skinny jeans (Marc originally paired it with an outfit that was too full-coverage for me.)
Three-quarter length sleeves, a rolled hem, and a square neck make it unique casual chic for everyday wear.
Bright multi-colours and a soft cotton […]

Marc by Marc Jacobs | White Cotton Button-Down Shirt

Sure, it’s a shirt originally built for a man, but that’s what half the appeal is for the woman who wears it.
Mademoiselle Chanel herself was legendary for taking her style cues from men, often wearing similar clothing and patterns not unlike those of her male friends.
This Marc by Marc Jacobs cotton top will wear womanly […]
