………………………EVERYBODY’S FAVORITE COLOR……………………AQUA….will also be avail in the new Jacket/Sweater. If you own any of the Aqua WK or the AQUA JEANS, which may still be avail…..it all works….and YES….don’t be afraid of AQUA HEAD TO TOE!!!! In every fashion mag you will see head to toe one column of color dressing. Of course that’s only one way you can wear this cardigan. Have fun mixing color tops with contrast bottoms….from white to black and everything in between…..that goes for tops as well as bottoms. I as sure the Aqua and Navy will be the first to go……….Coming soon, I hope!! is my new SIGNATURE LOGO jewelry. The earring comes PIERCED only in SILVER or GOLD….they are literally weightless…….Remember ! There is NO NICKLE used in my jewelry!!….The STATION LOGO necklaces will be avail in SILVER, in GOLD, and a combination of SILVER and GOLD for those who can’t make up their minds….LOL ….As you can see above, I like combining a silver and gold with a solid silver or gold…..Mixing two solids works just as well. Please!! do not think of these as seasonal jackets….you can wear them in the dead of winter with all black or gray…add a great ivory TN and you will brighten any dreary winter day…………………………………………………………..

Last….but certainly not least is………..HIBISCUS…………….By now you know I am always inspired by nature’s colors found in the Islands of the Caribbean…….Hibiscus is one of those marvelous colors. I tried to capture the color in the photographs, but it actually came out brighter and stronger than it actually is. It is a bright color, but a little softer than my photos show.. Even though it looks like a black WK pencil skirt above….it is actually NAVY…….Again, a bit softer than black, but both work equally as well….The zipper is silver hence all the silver Palm Frond jewelry…..You can easily mix the bold hoop, demi hoop, swirl or even the new Signature earring with your Palm necklaces….it all works……………….I know this Jacket/Sweater will become an important garment in your wardrobes. This type of garment doesn’t come around often, and there are few sweater factories that even want to make them because of all the work and time involved. They would rather produce thousands of simple styles with a front, a back and sometimes SLEEVES! LOL than commit to the hours it takes just to make one of these jackets. I know once you get it home you will see what a good investment it is………now…..which COLOR?????……………………….enjoy…………………much Love……………………….Louis

………………….The last SNEAK PEEK for JANUARY is the….LINEA LEISURE HOODIE, A262064………in BLACK……….Really, is there anything more chic than a BLACK TRACK SUIT….not for me! The final piece in my first grouping of the LINEA LEISURE COLLECTION is this ICONIC HOODIE……You can’t possibly do a Leisure line without one……..and with the weather we are about to have here on the east coast…..this would be ideal  for hunkering down inside your warm cozy home. If you work from home….you may as well LOOK GOOD….and be comfortable….doing it. This is perfect for layering under sports jackets , leather jackets, and storm coats What makes this different from many of the others? This Hoodie has PRINCESS SEAMS………It has more of a high end B&M fit….so pay attention to the body measurements! If you like your fit close to the body…stay with your B&M size of SML etc……if you like more ease…..go up one size…..again…..check the measurements!!…..The approx. length of the XS is 27 inches. The sleeves are long and finished with a cuff. The Hoodie has my signature patch pockets with the inserted band, and the tonal emb. logo is discretely placed at the bottom of it. The zipper is METAL and the ends of the drawstring are finished with metal END CAPS….all to give the LINEA HOODIE a more UPSCALE look…For BLACK….the hardware is GUNMETAL……The coordinating pieces shown above are the LINEA LEISURE SHELL TANK, A262066 and the LINEA LEISURE PULL-ON PANT, A262070 for the reg. length and A262072 for the petite length…For a different look pair it with the LINEA LEISURE LONG SKIRTA262069……Love it that way with boots….naturally…..Also above, at the lower left, is the WHITE COTTON /SPAN KNIT CAPRI….perfect for heading into summer….Somewhere I have heard it said that you shouldn’t wear matching tops and bottoms…….I can tell you that is ridiculous…….every major FASHION RUNWAY has shown MATCHING TRACK SUITS in one way or another…and stores like lululemon always show matching track suits….or they wouldn’t be called “SUITS”…..and don’t let anyone tell you different. One can’t possibly know what’s happening in fashion today and make that statement……..Mix it or MATCH IT…..you will always look right………………………………enjoy………much Love………………….Louis

………………………PEONY PINK and SPRING are SYNONYMOUS!…………….This is a glorious saturated GLOWING color……………..a color flattering to all….. Brunettes, Blonds, Red heads and my Silver haired beauties all look good in Peony Pink………….Mix it with WHITE, BLACK, NAVY or any color you wish….it always works….Wear it with shorts, leggings, Capris, crops, dress pants or the Leisure pant shown above….Wear it with a pencil skirt, a skort, yes I said a skort….my Leisure long skirt….or my white BOHO for a more ethereal look…….Silver is the trim metal……………….I predict this PEONY PINK will go FAST!……………………………………

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

………………………….Classic LINEA NAVY will also be avail in the LINEA LEISURE HOODIE and separates……………Nautical….yes….especially with a FISH PENDANT hanging from your neck….LOL…..but….NAVY like PEONY PINK is the harbinger of SPRING……….This outfit needs a great pair of sneakers like the Converse lace ups that come in a slew of colors…..How fun to mix your navy with WHITE and RED, or GREEN, or YELLOW SNEAKERS………..As leisure time becomes more and more important in all of our lives…and we deserve it……..I will be adding more and more apparel to meet the call…………..enjoy…………..much Love……………………..Louis
