The next new color for the A217629, V-neck WK sweater is………………….WALNUT…………….First, let me say to all of you who own Walnut W Knits from last year…………..this year the walnut is deeper…..still a BEAUTIFUL RICH COLOR, as those of you who have already received it know……..but it isn’t quite the same as last year……………………that’s normally what happens from year to year dye lot to lot. I have it paired with the chocolate ABSTRACT print skirt from last year, which happens to be on clearance………….This was and is still one of my favorite prints, and is more in fashion now then when I first presented it. Going forward, the WALNUT, is going to be an important accent color to novelty tweeds and checks coming in the fall……………….The “V” on this sweater is really what makes the sweater. It isn’t too low for the more conservative customer, but it also isn’t too high for those of you that want a younger sexier look……..I think it covers ALL bases to everyone’s satisfaction……………….not an easy feat….LOL!…………….enjoy……much Love…………..Louis

The last NEW color of this season for the A217629, WK V-Neck sweater is……………..NAVY………..and yes it is the LINEA DEEP, DARK NAVY BLUE……sometimes the flash distorts the color, but I try to keep all of my navies the same, or as close to as possible…..otherwise it will have a different name………….Sorry there isn’t one picture without the necklace, but by now you have a good idea of what the V looks like……I know you will ask….so let me save you the time…….YES….those are NEW PANTS, and they will be on one of the Aug. 26th shows…..if all goes well…………the color name is ……….CAVIAR…….and that’s ALL I’m saying for now!!!!!!!!!LOL……………………

I thought it would be fun to show photos of the BOHO SKIRT, A70208,  with some of the WK sweaters that will be avail this fall. Above is the BOHO skirt in………..BLACK…..&…..CHILI PEPPER…….for those of you who do not own anything in Chili Pepper….it’s a spicy red color.Over 45,000 BOHO skirts have been sold to date! The BLACK WK is my new PEASANT SWEATER, A237410, and the reorder BALLET NECK SWEATER with the rib bottom, A210360 in the new color CLARET. I will give ALL of the details on the WK sweaters all at one time, so please be patient! The new cross is reversible with a RED STONE on one side and a PURPLE STONE on the other……it will be avail later this year. The  BYZANTINE EARRING shown is J267611, and is avail. right now. I think it a great earring because the color  drop comes off and you can wear it as a plan button. It also comes with a PEARL DROP, so it a THREE in ONE earring. If you get it in two colors you can switch it any way you like to compliment the outfit you are wearing. I will be showing these a lot this fall. The quality of the CROSS and EARRING is SUPERB!! The gold snake chain necklaces are not avail. If you haven’t tried a BOHO skirt yet…….I think it’s time you gave it a try…….you may be PLEASANTLY SURPRISED…………….enjoy……..much Love……………….Louis

The last Sneak Peek for the July 30th show is the BOUCLE TUNIC SWEATER above, A235308. It is the same yarn as the SHRUG sweater that is being reordered for next spring. The colors are………………….HIBISCUS…………BLACK………….SLATE BLUE…………It has an open BALLET NECKLINE which is finished with a scalloped crochet trim. It has LONG SLEEVES and is approx. 28-29 inches for the XS. This is a gauzy, light layering piece, and I would recommend wearing a tank or cami or a nude Spanx underneath. In the photos above I have the HEMP TANK and SHORT LINED HEMP PENCIL SKIRT in the FEATHER JERSEY paired with the Hibiscus…………under the BLACK I have the SMOKE TANK and SMOKE MAXI SKIRT and under the Slate Blue I have the NAVY TANK and the NAVY MAXI SKIRT all in the FEATHER JERSEY. I have accessorized each sweater with either the WINE BAROQUE CROSS and STATION NECKLACE, the silver MULTI CROSS NECKLACE and matching EARRING, or my NAVY PEARLS. They are all avail. or will be this year. This is your weekend sweater with jeans, and it is just as appropriate to wear to church, the office, or an evening out. It folds to nothing so it is great for travel, and is hand washable………..this falls into the “BASIC” category, but it is anything but basic………………….

………………….enjoy………………………….much Love……………………….Louis

The JULY 30TH SNEAK PEEK #4 is the ………LACE TUNIC TOP, 237099. The fabric is a STRETCH lace 98%poly and 2% span. The body is lined in trico knit. The lining it attached at the neckline and shoulder only, and it is in the shape of a sleeveless V-neck tunic tank. The colors are……….BOYSENBERRY……..COCOA…………….TEAL…………………The faux washed silk pant, A235315, is the perfect coordinate. The color of the pant, in each case, is a deeper color than the lace which really lets the lace stand out. The colors, as you can see from above, are very saturated, and the photos are very accurate. There are many SPECIAL OCCASIONS that come up in SEPT, OCT. NOV etc. that this lace top would be perfect for….for a more casual look, pair it with JEANS. Again, it is a garment that is easy care, washable and packable. It has a FIT & FLARE SHAPE, but not too much Flare….so it will be perfect for many body types. The length of the tunic is approx. 31 inches for the xs. The sleeves are 3/4 length, so pack on the bangles…………I have accessorized the TEAL tunic with my NAVY PEARLS, J264035, which are available NOW, the BOYSENBERRY tunic with my WINE pearls that many of you own, and the COCOA tunic with my long strand necklace of FACETED BEADS, J273583 and the matching stretch bracelet, J273358. This necklace and bracelet actually works with all three color tunics. I realize that a lace tunic is not a basic, and not necessarily a MUST HAVE, but it is this type of clothing that gives your wardrobe DISTINCTION, ORIGINALITY, and shows YOUR sense of STYLE. When an article of clothing, such as this, becomes avail, and at an incredible price, it really deserves a second thought…..you may not need it right now, but when that wedding invitation, anniversary party etc etc come around, you’ll be ready………………..enjoy………much Love…………Louis
