Thank you one and all for a truly successful show! I’m happy I had some things you liked enough to want to own…. I must thank Jane for working so well with me………Before the show, after we went through the line up….she flat out asked me, “Louis how would you like the show to go?” I was a little surprised at her question and it must have shown on my face, because she laughed and said, “what…. hasn’t anyone ever asked you that before?” I was very appreciative! My answer was this. “Jane, it not just how I would like the show to run, it’s how the ladies want to show to run. They want to hear me explain the details of the clothes so they can make educated decisions on whether it will be for them or not. They want me to describe the clothes from head to toe, and what accessories they are wearing…..then we can “dance” and have fun.” Her reply was a simple one….”you got it”…….Needless to say you all saw the result of this brief conversation…..It was a joy to work with Jane, the models had fun too. It does make a huge difference when everything flows smoothly. I hope we get to do it again real soon…..It had been way too long…………………….Again thank you all for a fabulous show, and I sincerely hope the clothes meet all of your expectations when you get them home………Remember, I am always a keyboard away  to help with any questions you may have………………………………………………………………Enjoy………………………………much Love…………………………………Louis

………………………..The  CRUSHED GAUZE SHIRT TUNIC, A233187 ,has already been posted on the Linea Web site for you to order in advance of it’s formal showing which won’t be until JULY! …..So….I’m giving you an advanced look at the new color………SAGE……………..It is as soothing and refreshing as….ALOE……..which would have been my choice of color names, because it describes the color perfectly. This is a neutral color that you will be comfortable wearing anywhere at any time. It’s perfect for the office as well as out to dinner. If you own this tunic in one of the previous colors, you already know just how wonderfully comfortable this shirt is. Wear it buttoned up or open as a shirt jacket. I have chosen the new Pale Khaki pant, A265615, and the Natural Flecked tank, A224278, [on clearance and very limited], that many of you already own to show with the Sage top……This combination of colors and textures brings to my mind pale bamboo and palm leaves…………….I have chosen two of the new SIGNATURE CHARM necklaces, J321802, with the SAGE BEADS along with the SAGE DEW DROP PENDANT, J320890, and…on the ear the matching Dewdrop earring…..or the SIGNATURE CHARM earring J20884……..a delicate look with just enough presence for someone to notice!……….I think the SAGE is a color that will be complimentary to most. I know for a fact it looks great on BLONDS!………..When you are in a Zen state of mind or just want something to calm your spirit…………..I think wearing this soft Sage can help…………………………..enjoy……….. much Love……………………..Louis

……………………..Returning is the Smoke Crushed Gauze Shirt Tunic, and what a beautiful cool color it is. Gray, which has always been thought of as a fall/winter color…..looks very fresh  when it is combined with white and silver……as in my SILVER PALM FROND suite…..BTW…..if you are considering buying any of the Palm Frond pieces….don’t hesitate too long….there is no plan to bring them back a third time! Just a heads up for those who are interested…….For those of you who also want a darker bottom as an alternative….the CAPRI LEGGING in the new CHARCOAL, A255122, in the cotton span are perfect with the gray tunic. I prefer this legging color with the Smoke tunic more than black, because it keeps the look soft……a simple silver flat/sandal and tote is all you need to create a sophisticated, modern, cool  look……..Come fall layer the shirt tunic with my Charcoal WK TN and my Dark Gray LINEA BODY legging…or Heather Grey Ponte pant……a ballet flat or boot and bring on the cooler weather……………………….enjoy…………much Love……………………Louis

…………………………..Two SUMMER STAPLES……………..BLACK & WHITE…..can take you anywhere and are perfect for any and all occasions. For me , the Gauze Shirt Tunic with the asymmetric hem in these two colors are MUST HAVES. They are the perfect AIRY BREEZY cover ups that are essential summer wear…….How perfect are these for a cruise or a trip to the islands…..or any vacation plans you may have…..even a stay at home vacation!…..but it is a terrific shirt for travel. They make great beach cover ups as well as the perfect outfit for dinner……It all depends on what you wear them with, and how you accessorize them. Finding just the right BREEZY weightless top is not always an easy task……..Some, due to the fabrics, look too casual and  are limited to when you can or would want to wear them………but this CRUSHED GEORGETTE GAUZE transcends day to night….casual to dressy…….For that alone it can become your go to piece……………..enjoy…………………….much Love……………………….Louis

……………..I couldn’t resist showing more pictures of the WHITE TUNIC……………….It’s the ideal way I would like to see a woman dressed on a summer vacation. I know when Jac walks onto a veranda at a summer resort looking like this, all eyes are on her. Yes, Jac’s a beautiful woman and carries herself elegantly, but dressed entirely in floating gossamer white is startling, and beautiful on everyone…….To enhance the look even more….add some CLEAR FACETED BEADS. J291535, J317112, J291536, J284043, and J317115, the only earring avail with a clear drop. I think it has been overlooked because the photo is of the JET choice, but the clear crystal drop is fabulous. These are just a few items in the Linea Jewelry arsenal you may want to peruse to create the look…..Also, for another, but complimentary direction you may want to consider SILVER with CLEAR CRYSTALS such as my Silver and Crystal watch J271864, the Silver and Crystal Cross, J317110, the Silver and Crystal Bold Bracelet, J317113,and Earrings, J317111….many come in Gold with Crystal if you prefer……………………enjoy the summer breezes…………………………much love………………Louis
