One of my MOST POPULAR PIECES…….THE PEBBLE CREPE TUNIC, A213621,  has been reordered again. If you haven’t noticed these Jan. shows have quite a few reorder pieces, and you all know what hoops “we” have to jump through to have a garment QUALIFY for being reordered! I totally understand the popularity of this particular top. It is very difficult to do a simple, solid, totally unadorned piece that not only works for most women in all sizes, but is CHIC to boot. It is the cut, the proportion, the subtle detailing of the banding that helps the garment keep its’ shape, and the nonchalance of the almost invisible patch pockets….of of those features  combined….makes this top successful. The fact that it can be worn super casual, or can be dressed up with the right accessories………and the fact that it looks great with any bottom from jeans to Capri, crop or regular length pants… to my BOHO skirt, long slim skirt or pencil skirt, makes this top VERY VERSATILE. Above, I have featured the returning…………. CHILI PEPPER……&…..the new……..OLIVE…………….I have the OLIVE with piles of necklaces….Two of  J278131, the ENDLESS FLAT DISC NECKLACES are combines with two of the J278132 GRADUATED OVAL BEAD SHORT NECKLACES….all in the OLIVE……DO NOT LOOK at the QVC photos….you won’t recognize the pieces or the colors. On her ear I have the matching OLIVE BEAD EARRING, J278133 and on her wrist there will be the BOLD DISC STRETCH CUFF, J278134, in the OLIVE….If you love bold cuffs you really should give this a try…..it comes in three BEAUTIFUL COLORS, and is perfect when you are wearing 3/4 or bracelet length sleeves…..In the winter I love it with Turtlenecks…..For the bottom I have the OLIVE BOHO SKIRT, A70208…..When the weather is cold…not snowing….wear boots…..when spring and summer arrive switch your boots to sandals or wedges…..as I said, VERSATILE……….For the CHILI PEPPER outfit I chose a black vintage crop pant……a pebble crepe one will be coming in late spring early summer!……………and again lots of necklaces….this time the J271859, the FLEUR DE LIS CROSS in the WINE and GOLD….with THREE of the WINE and GOLD STATION NECKLACES, J271861. This necklace is made up of a combination of clear wine oval beads and carved GOLD stations with WINE ENAMEL…………..there are 17 reviews on this necklace….ALL FIVE STAR. The cross and necklace is also avail in the OLIVE & GOLD combination……………………….This PEBBLE CREPE TOP is also avail in the original  NAVY……….scroll down for one more………………………………………………………………………….

The DRAPED FRONT BODYSUIT, A231145 has been reordered and will be on my Jan 15th show!…………BLACK is a returning  color, and the new color is…………..GRAY………..a HEATHER GRAY!! …..For those of you who love to wear body suits, telling you the virtues of them is like singing to the choir. I know so many women ….of all shapes and sizes….who love their bodysuits. There is nothing sleeker than a bodysuit…….You never have to worry about anything popping out of your pant or skirt or looking messy. If you wear anything low slung like short rise pants or jeans, then these are a must have. Notice the picture of the rear. The bottom “pantie” has FULL COVERAGE. Some bodysuits have thong bottoms and  are great, but not if you are bending over in short rise pants! ………………I have simply paired the GRAY BODYSUIT with my BLACK LINEA PONTE MAXI SKIRT, A239318, and the BLACK BODYSUIT is with BLACK WK pants from a few seasons back ………………Add a beautiful BLACK BELT, my GOLD BEAD NECKLACE, which is avail. and my new MAJOR HOOP in the LINEA GOLD , coming soon….and you can not be dressed more simply or more CHIC than that! By the way, the necklace is also avail in the SILVER, very few, and the HOOP , as you see in the photo above, will also be avail in the SILVER. …………….The RUBY and the TRUFFLE are also avail. but in limited sizes…………………………………………………………………………enjoy………………….much Love……………………………..Louis

The reorder WHISPER KNIT SWEATER, A230883 will be avail. in the new,,,,,,,,,,,,,GRAY…………………..I am sure many of you already own this sweater and many of you have been waiting patiently for its’ return. This is the WK sweater that was offered with last January’s PONTE TSV PEPLUM JACKET. It sold out before the morning presentations so many of you could not get it to coordinate with your jackets. It has taken a year to bring it back to you so don’t miss out this time around. In the photos above I am featuring the GRAY sweater with my new BLUE MIST, 72 inch PEARLS….the new pearl bracelet and the new pearl stud earrings that will all be avail this month….the necklace , as many of you know, is avail now……..I hear you asking…..”what is that other necklace?” It is new and will also be avail. this month. It is a combination of PEARL. METAL BEADS and large FACETED EMERALD CUT FRAMED STONES………all spaced on a delicate chain. The faceted large beads are not glass….for many reasons……..They would be extremely expensive, very heavy at that size, and the possibility of cracking, chipping and scratching  in glass is very probable,  and the returns would be very high. If you dropped the piece and the stones were glass, there would be a strong possibility that they would break……..Chanel would get away with it even at an astronomical price…..we would never be able to get away with it being that fragile……………none the less it’s a beautiful, super light weight piece……….seasonless, timeless and something that can be worn for all occasions and with anything…..for example the WHITE KATE SHIRT and jeans…………..I don’t have the J style number yet, but keep an eye out….it should be here by the end of the month…………………………………………….

The reorder WHISPER KNIT SWEATER, A230883, will also be avail. in the…………CORAL……………SEA GREEN….both above, as well as the ……..NAVY…………IVORY ….and….. BLACK…………the new color being the GRAY. For all of you who missed out on getting your matching sweaters to the TSV PEPLUM Jacket, which is now on clearance and avail in very limited quantities and colors, now is your chance to complete the “look”. However, the sweaters, on their own, are terrific pieces to have…………….The long love knot necklaces have sold out again in the gold, silver and gunmetal [rose gold is avail.], but there are some of the multi cross necklaces and earrings in the “tarnished” finish of silver and gold still avail………………………..enjoy………………..much Love……………………………………Louis
