Whereas I can often be found to covet the creations of the above style-givers, I find myself lusting after Marc by Marc Jacobs, Sonia By Sonia Rykiel, See By Chloé and Paul & Joe Sister more so than each of their respective main clothing lines.

Above is a Marc by Marc Jacobs black double-breasted wool felt coat from AW07. I have it in grey (you can just about make it out in my profile picture) and I adore the bracelet sleeves and oversized lapel. I love wearing it with a little dress and pumps, my favorite way of looking pretty and polished. The grey version has a scarlet pink lining which adds a touch of quirkiness to this practical investment.
Some other diffusion line gems that I came across include this cream cable knit bow front sweater from Sonia By Sonia Rykiel

and beige oversized appliqué jersey tee from See By Chloé below. Each is best worn with skinny jeans and sturdy boots, to play down the girly factor of these ultra pretty pieces.

Perhaps it is the fact that the diffusion line is somewhat more contemporary and casual than it's older sibling, or that it is usually aimed at a more youthful audience. Whilst the style and price of the aforementioned labels are wholly attractive, the quality and aesthetic of the main line is always retained.
All three items pictured above can currently be found on Sale at Net-A-Porter.
