The second color choice for the ASYMMETRICAL HEM PONTE DRESS, A238536…..is ……….VIOLET……a beautiful deep and saturated color……The silhouette of the DRESS, and the silhouette of the SEAMED JACKET,  A229475…..work PERFECTLY together….almost as if they were meant to go together…..and they were!…….. The colors are PERFECT……..I have the VIOLET dress simply accessorized with the MULTI COLOR, MULTI STRAND GLASS BEADS NECKLACE, J284038……The metallic multi strand necklaces, J284035,  in the gold or silver would also work beautifully….A  BLACK or VIOLET suede pump would complete the look…….also….another HOT HOT pump of the season to consider…….. is the………GOLD LEATHER PUMP….there are many out there this season at all kinds of crazy prices…but 9 West at the DSW web site has a beauty at an incredibly low price……strange at it may seem….they become a neutral, and they are lots of FUN….I will be showing them on my Oct 18th show……actually, I have already shown them when I did the “hit” from Bryant Park…..when we previewed the TOPPERS!………..scroll down……………….enjoy………………….much Love………………………….Louis

The third and last color being offered in the ASYMMETRICAL HEM DRESS, A238536….is………….MALACHITE…………again, the SEAMED JACKET in MALACHITE, A229475, and the MALACHITE dress work perfectly together. There is a slight difference in color, but only the absolutely MOST FINICKY will be bothered by the difference…..you will never find another dress or jacket that matches these any better…….This is the perfect HOLIDAY dress………..a beautiful color, an easy fit….and so comfortable!…..I have accessorized the jacket with my NEW BROOCH, J284040, in the GREEN/BLUE combination…………..On the dress I have the DOUBLE SIDED CROSS, J284039. For this choice, one side of the gold cross has an EMERALD stone, and on the other side the stone is SAPPHIRE…there is also the GOLD/RUBY/VIOLET option that would work beautifully with thee VIOLET DRESS. Also, with the cross I have combined J284036, the super long EMERALD and GOLD bead necklace……To give the whole look  a little “EDGE”……I have added the…..MULTI CROSS NECKLACE, J270119….in the matte gold……….For me…..it makes the whole look…..Is it necessary?….no….it’s just my esthetic……J284037, the GOLD HAMMERED EARRING with the center STONE is the perfect compliment to the other pieces of jewelry……… I know there will be some who do not like the asymmetrical hem…..and I would say….then this is not for you….Not everything can or should be for everyone. This is for those of you who like and want the unexpected….the experimental………..the new!…………………………….enjoy………………………much Love……………….Louis

……..Sometimes….I’m the last to know!………I have been advised that there is a post on the QVC Fashion Forum stating that the METALLIC MULTI STRAND NECKLACES have finally arrived!!!!!!Since I receive my samples in a plastic bag…I would love to know from someone who has received one of them…how they were packaged? Were they in a larger box or pouch?………Anyway…..they are here and they are getting great reviews. As you see from the photos above….GOLD is one of the colors…..it is a beautiful gold and coordinates with the swirl and demi hoop earrings……..This necklace has a three inch extender, so those with a shorter neck can wear it lower…….If you are interested….do NOT hesitate….there was a wait list which I assume is being filled…………..and what quantities remain after those orders are filled will be minimal……..I see the MULTI is already sold out!………I know these will give you years of enjoyment………………much Love………Louis

…………………..SILVER, SILVER, SILVER………..There is a wonderful cold and icy look of SILVER beads…..the total opposite of GOLD………and though I am a GOLD LOVER…..I must admit….I do love SILVER on certain colors, like NAVY and GREY……..They radiate a very expensive….. ALOOFNESS…………………..No other metal color, for me, has the same look or gives the same message………………what a terrific CHRISTMAS present!…………………………………………………………………………………………..enjoy…………………………much Love……………Louis

The last color that ….was offered……….is the MULTI……….which is comprised of………..GOLD……….SILVER…….GUNMETAL………&…..CHOCOLATE….. metallic beads. I have been asked so many times can you wear silver and gold together……….the answer is yes….. if it is done the right way…………I did the multi color necklace  to show, that when it is done well all of the metal colors mix beautifully together…..This way it’s never a question of which color earring to wear………..You can wear them all!…………Unfortunately,  this color way is already sold out……perhaps there ‘s a wait list? Maybe you’ll be lucky…..it never hurts to try…………enjoy….much Love………Louis
