…………………………….LINEA LEISURE can take you from a leisurely Sunday at home with a pair of LINEA BODY LEGGINGS, A260036…… to the office on Monday morning….it all depends on how you put it together and how you accessorize it…….Just a side note…..the LINE BODY LEGGING is back in stock in BLACK…..these are SEAM-LESS leggings. You may find a similar legging in a store from a designer brand….but it  will be more than double the price…..so take advantage of an excellent product at an incredible price while we can keep that price………In the pictures above I paired the BLACK LINEA LEISURE CARDIGAN, A262035, with the  LINEA LEISURE BLACK LONG SKIRT which comes in NAVY too, A262069, and the Ivory Silk/Cashmere TN……Add a pair of boots to create the look you want…i.e. cowboy boots or flat boots for a more casual look, high heel suede  boots for a dressier look. The skirt is approx. 32 inches long. There aren’t any pockets so the hip is nice and smooth. The skirt has a contour banded top which is approx 2 inches wide…….Remember, this is a casual leisure skirt not a WK long dressy skirt, and the drape is different. This fabric, as you know, has a lot of stretch, but is a more structured fabric than WK……In the summer….wear it with the tank  and a pair of banded sandals……….The HORSE BIT NECKLACE, J288018 and the BOLD HOOP IN GOLD, A288005  are my accessories of choice………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

******************Coming soon is the DEW DROP PENDANT & EARRING SET*****J320890……I know the first question is …WHEN? and my answer is I don’t know!??? With all items that are sold OLO [on line only]. I never know when it  will be processed once it has been delivered. So…it can be posted for the shows on the 30th or soon after…..I’ll try to find out………..The set is comprised of a DEW DROP PENDANT on a chain, and a set of PIERCED only SMALL DEW DROP EARRINGS earrings……The pendant is actually an ENHANCER. meaning the VALE can be opened and the pendant can be put onto many other things you already own…. to create something new. You can see in the photo at the lower left I have attached the pendant to a PEARL BRACELET. The chain is exactly the same as the FISH PENDANT with an extender and lobster claw closing. I also love the chain doubled through the enhancer to create a shorter drop as in the photo to the upper left….with the NEW PERFECTLY PINK CARDIGAN………I think the earring is  the perfect size for anyone to wear, approx 3/4 inches for the drop, and they are as light as air. The pendant is approx 2 inches for the drop alone. Both of the ORBS for the pendant and the earring were made exclusively for these pieces out of a clear resin….so they are surprisingly light….they still have some weight, which only makes them feel expensive……..The green will be called ………SAGE……but is actually a pale JADE. We are not allowed to call the color of jewelry Jade unless it is made out of Jade…….saves confusion and a lot of questions…..The pink is called…………PINK…..it is not quite my perfectly pink , but looks wonderful with it…..I love pendants, because they can easily be worn with your more casual clothes, and make an easy transition from casual to dressy….. They are also great for when you want to look a little more understated. Scroll down for some other ideas on how you can use your enhancer!……………………………………………………………………………………………….enjoy……………………………..much Love……………………..Louis

………………………..You can see by all of the photos above how many different ways you can use this enhancer……………….Many of the necklaces above are LINEA such as all of the PEARLS and some of the CHAIN       NECKLACES are Linea both vintage and also avail such as the horse bit…….I also used some necklaces from my collection to illustrate how the enhancers can work on necklaces YOU may already own…..At the upper left is the GOLD HORSE BIT NECKLACE shown on a new WK SAGE sweater that will be coming in Feb……I have used the NAVY, IVORY, BLUE MIST, MOCHA MIST and DRIFTWOOD PEARLS either doubled or tripled, or wrapped around the neck four times, and then added the ORB. The new triple strand CREAM PEARL NECKLACE  with the GOLD SPACER BEADS…..to the left next to the navy pearls, is perfect with the gold cap of the Dew Drop…….You really have to use your imagination….First….take out your necklaces and see which work well together. Then try them at different lengths, if they can be wrapped, to create different looks…….When you are getting dressed and you put on a necklace…..pull out the pendant and see if it “enhances” what you are wearing…..Sometimes the most unexpected combinations are the BEST!…..Don’t always feel you have to wear the matching set! The earrings can be worn with other things…..likewise the pendant can be worn with other earrings depending what you attach it to….i.e. the OVAL PEARL and GOLD  button earring………………as I said before….let you imagination go wild….you will be surprised with all the different ways you have discovered how to wear the enhancer……….And you thought it was only a simple drop!………………………………………….. ………………………………………………………………..enjoy…………………..much Love………………………Louis

…..This is wear it started……the original “WAIST WHITTLING SWEATER”, as YOU have dubbed it………….A210360, has been reordered and is now avail. The IVORY is the NEW COLOR…..This truly is a seasonless sweater, and Ivory is a seasonless color. For those of you new to LINEA…….when the Ladies first received this sweater they were amazed by the fit and how flattering  this ribbed torso looked on. I think for the most part many were very surprised. Now, this is not a miracle sweater! If you are an apple it is not miraculously going to suck you in and give you a waist, but many have said that it makes them look like they have a waist they haven’t had in a long time………I’m only the messenger…..You can read the reviews for yourselves…..I have chosen to show it simply with the NAVY WHISPER PANT. With Spring not too far away those navy pants are going to come in quite handy. The sizes are broken so if you love these pants, but have been holding off on the navy…..as the saying goes….you snooze you loose, and these are not coming back……….I happen to think the new CLUSTER necklace in the CLEAR, J317112, looks amazing on this sweater….It is a totally unique necklace, and a special piece….like nothing you will find at any other store. The CLEAR DROP earring, J291538, looks great with this necklace and on its’ own with so many things……great with white and great with pastels too…….The sleeve has a wide rib cuff and creates the effect of a slightly fuller, feminine sleeve……This sweater is made in the ENR construction…. The open neckline has a slight scoop and accommodates many different types of necklaces, however with nothing it is quite beautiful……………..enjoy…………much Love ……….Louis

……………………………..BLACK………..has been reordered, and for me this is just as important as a…..LBD…….A more flattering look, with a Black WK skirt, you will not find. For those of you who have trouble finding just the right LBD that fits properly, because you are one size on top and a different size on the bottom….this is the answer for you. I would suggest the BLACK A-LINE WK SKIRT, A259625 , above….which to my amazement is on clearance, and avail in OLIVE and WALNUT too……This is the buy of the season.. For all of you who tell me you need a longer skirt……here it is!…….See…you never know…I thought this A-line skirt in WK would be gone in a nano second……It’s a good thing I’m not a gambler!!…… This sweater with any trouser pant is perfect….the stone trouser is above……..My simple reversible cross, J317110, makes a clean but bold statement, and looks perfect  with the silver BOLD HOOP…coming soon………For something that makes an even bolder statement…..the cluster necklace in BLACK JET, and again the matching drop JET earring…If this sweater is not part of your Whisper Knit collection…..I would highly recommend it…………….it’s a beauty……………….enjoy…………..much Love………………..Louis
