One of my personal favorite color combinations is purple and turquoise…..in this case………………..WISTERIA & TURQUOISE…….I have to say the PEACOCK & VIOLET BEADS, J288007, look INCREDIBLE layered on this tunic. It really doesn’t need jewelry, but when something as perfect as  those beads happen….why not….They add a wonderful texture and glimmer. Unfortunately, the inspiration came to me  well after the photo was shot, but that is the way I will show the tunic on my April show. Above, I am showing the top with my new AQUA JEANS due in April…..just when?…with all OLO pieces I don’t exactly know……..If you love color and a bit of the exotic……the colors of the Caribbean….then the WISTERIA & TURQUOISE is for you!……………………scroll down……………..enjoy…………………..much Love………………………………….Louis

………..The BLACK TUNIC, A253384, embroidered with the DARK SUNTAN embroidery is super CHIC………BLACK always is. Simply worn with black leggings and a black sandal you can not go wrong. For a change of pace…the print, the linen pant in the black or twig, the black or twig legging or rayon/span long skirt……the boho in black and mocha …all work with the tunic top. In May I will have a DARK TAN COTTON SATEEN PANT that  matches perfectly to the emb………so you have many ways to wear this top…………If you wish to dress it up even more…..my BLACK JET & BRONZE [CHOCOLATE] FACETED BEADS, J284o43 and the matching DROP EARRING, J284042, are fabulous with this coloration……by the way there are 22 reviews for this necklace….ALL FIVE STARS!……………BLACK SUNGLASSES are MANDATORY!………………………………………………………….

I thought I had mentioned it, but  maybe I didn’t….the 28th at 2am is cancelled……..NOW …I’m on the 27 of March at 1:00am…..a better hour…….I will be showing the laces that weren’t shown on the last show!

The TWIG print SHIRT, A253359, and the  TWIG print CROP PANT, A253573, are both made in that wonderful light weight blend of 97% cotton and 3% span. Many of you own the FLORAL print shirt and shorts and the BIRD PRINT in the short sleeve shirt and crop pant from last season…..and know just how cool and comfortable they are to wear. On the hottest and most humid days…..they are like wearing nothing. The print is two colors and it’s a sort of whimsical FLORAL/PAISLEY/LEAF design, with lots of movement. I think it’s the kind of SUMMER PRINT that anyone can wear and not feel overwhelmed in……………………………………………………………………………..

The SHIRT, A253359, is a type of peasant design, with a slight scoop neckline, which is banded in self  fabric. It has a BUTTON FRONT, and a 3/4 length sleeve with a TWO BUTTON BAND CUFF. The shirt/blouse also has side slits, to make it more relaxed and easier to get your hands into pant or skirt pockets. There are body darts , not so much to give it a lot of shape, but to keep it from being boxy. There are so many ways you can wear this shirt, free and easy or belted…..you can even wear it as a SHIRT JACKET with the new ENR TANK as the perfect layering piece. Wear it with the MOCHA BOHO,  a white cotton or ivory ponte pencil skirt, the TWIG RAYON/SPAN pull-on skirt [a wonderful skirt to wear it with], or the new TWIG LINEN BLEND TROUSERS. For you FASHIONISTAS…..right off the runways and off the Fashion magazine’s editorial pages….the matching shirt and pant. It’s really a fabulous and cool summer look….a pair of espadrilles, a straw tote, sunglasses and ATTITUDE  is all you need………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

The PANT, A253573, was modeled after last years BIRD PRINT, but with each new piece, they are all refit. This pant is NUMERICALLY sized, It has a FRONT ZIP with a buttoned waist band. Even though the fabric has stretch the entire back waist band has elastic……leaving the front without  and a nice smooth front. There are NO pockets in this pant. The pant has an approx 24 1/2 inch inseam, and has a 7 inch leg opening…..For some this will be a full length pant….so the option to shorten or not is yours……………………These two pieces of clothing are definitely…..SUMMER READY……..are you?………………………………………………………………………………………………

How much do I LOVE this BLUE?…..A LOT!!……………Again, this is the BLUE of MYKONOS……………A fashion spread could be shot with the pieces above, against the WHITE HOUSES with their BLUE SHUTTERS of MYKONOS ,and you would think the clothes cost hundreds if not thousands of dollars. This  is SUMMER….COOL….FRESH…..PRETTY………….I think you are now aware of all the clothes I have in the photos above and all are or will be avail except the white jean skirt from last summer. The SHEER SLEEVED RAYON/SPAN TOP and the ENR WHITE TANK are all photographed above…….the NEW ITEM is the EMBROIDERED TUNIC………sneak peek to come, but,    it is on my April show, which one I don’t know. Personally……I LOVE the EMB. TUNIC with the PRINT PANT…………it’s unexpected….and a wonderful way to mix patterns and textures. The metal of choice…for me is SILVER…………….scroll down for more BLUE & WHITE…………………………..enjoy……..much Love …………………Louis
