Markus Lupfer has won several awards for his ground-breaking work with textures and fabrics. Perhaps most recognized for the graphic embellishments he uses in his designs, Lupfer's print emrboidery shirts and dresses have established him with quite the cult of celebrity fans (Daisy Lowe and Lily Allen just to name two).

My favourites from his striking sequined sheaths? See above. What's not to love about the designer's 'Oh You Pretty Thing' sequin embellished merino wool sweater, 'Classic' appliqué scoop-neck jersey dress, and 'Luxe' embellished cotton t-shirt? Markus Lupfer covers the gamut of my favourite girly slogans, and though I've never been one to style too much graphic anything, there's a soft spot in my heart for these dresses, t-shirts, and sweaters.

Ranging in price from 160 to 380, some may find Markus Lupfer clothing to be more pricey than practical, but regardless, the black-and-white heavy designs are certainly nice to look at.

I Love, love, LOVE cashmere. Pretty sure I'd wear it 365 days a year if I could. And while I've got a sweater in almost every style - from cardigans, to jackets, to hoodies, - I'm especially loving this unique piece by CO2 cashmere.

From the front it looks like a classic three-quarter sleeve sweater, but turn around and you'll see what gives this scoop-neck top some serious edge.

Eight ties create a super-cute cut-out effect. The look is flirty for spring and summer, but right now in the cool spring air I'm wearing it with a tank underneath. In the warmer months, definitely dare to bare your back and highlight some skin - whether you pair this top with a skirt or skinnies, or wear it as a cover-up top over your favourite bikini.

The best part? Right now to April 30th, HopeRobertson.com readers enjoy 30% off their purchase at CO2 Cashmere. Just enter code hoperobertson at the checkout. I've got my eye on these luxurious lounge pants. Et tu?

Can we just talk for a second about J.Crew's absolutely luxurious cashmere?

Check this cashmere shawl popover. Perfect for both weekending and work, I absolutely adore this 12-gauge knit.

Long sleeves, shawl collar, and ribbed hem, this sweater is an essential for every woman's wardrobe. While I prefer basics like grey, black, and white, this sweater is available in every color from jalapeno to dark poppy.

To dress daringly — be it baring your décolletage in a low-neckline, or showing your gams in a minute mini — is dramatic, but to make it exotic, try throwing in a little print (animal, that is.)

I’m thinking a leopard-print coat by Dior that’s more fresh than spring flowers, and French Sole ballet shoes that are perfect for skipping down snow-free streets are exactly what we need to throw a little spice into our mid-winter lives.
