The BLACK FLOAT DRESS, A239314, will be featured on the 15th of Jan.. I have three, one hour shows…..2am…..5pm….11pm. The dress is made in a 96% RAYON/4% SPAN  knit blend………The dress is easy care, machine washable………….perfect for travel. The dress is 39 inches long for the xs, and it has a RAGLAN LONG SLEEVE.  It has a soft stand collar and a back invisible zip to make it easy to get on and off. At the front neckline, between the raglan seams, there are eight pleats which adds ease for the bust and body of the dress, and it gently flares out at the hem. The dress does come with a self fabric tie belt which is 1 3/8 th inches wide., but it looks good unbelted too. There are thread loops at each side seam so they can easily be removed if they do not line up to your waist line, or you just feel you don’t want them. You can always add your own belt to make your own statement and change things up………This is an ALL OCCASION DRESS…..it can be dressed up with the right accessories……in the spring add a black patent leather  peek toe pump etc. In the photos above I have the 72 inch faceted jet beads in the BLACK and the GREY, J284043. The other multi bead necklace is from my collection. The BLACK JET bead necklace is already sold out. If you are interested in the other colors…..the GREY…..the BRONZE……the CLEAR………..I wouldn’t wait to long. The dress looks great with black tights or fancy hose, black pumps, shoe boots or boots. A color shoe or boot can also look fabulous……really……anything goes…………….enjoy…………………much Love……………………….Louis

The LAPIS FLOAT DRESS, A239314. Yes, it is the Lapis from Fall 2013. I call it a “FLOAT DRESS”, because it floats over the body. There is not an excessive amount of fabric…..just enough to qualify as a “float”…..perfect for women with body issues…….All of the accessories are from my own collection…..a rhinestone narrow belt and a faceted crystal drop on a silver chain…….a rhinestone clip earring finishes it off. There are many ways to go accessory wise………..scarves for day…..animal…..anytime!…………………………………………….enjoy………………much Love…………………Louis

The third and last color is…………….FUCHSIA………………..If you already own the A229475, seamed jacket in the FUCHSIA……they work beautifully together……………. With the Fuchsia dress I chose two BRASS hammered link necklaces, J278125 and the matching earring J278127…………This time of year………the dreaded January, February and March………..a little color helps A LOT!……………..enjoy…..much Love…………………..Louis

Just wanted you to know I’m having trouble down loading my pictures from my camera into my computer. Actually, my computer won’t down load them at all. I’ve put a call in with my computer wizard, but being the week end I don’t expect to hear from him until next week………………………much Love…………..Louis

HAPPY NEW YEAR……………….can you believe it……2014! I remember how excited everyone was on the eve of 2000…………..now it’s 14 years later……………It should be all of our resolutions to make each and every new day a special one, because you never know what the next day will bring……. Jac and I attended my friend, Barry Ort’s service and his sudden and very unexpected passing makes it even more profound how each and every day is a blessing and a gift…………..I pray for all of us that this new year brings all of us joy, happiness and good health, and for those of us who will inevitably have to face hardships……that they are few and that they aren’t too heavy for us to bear……………………….God bless everyone!………………….Happy New Year to all……………………much Love………………………..Louis, Jac and the girls
