From Louis

……………………………..I love a beautiful feminine drapy blouse on a woman…….Tailored clothes are my forte, but I enjoy adding something super soft to counter balance the crisp precision of a well tailored jacket pant and skirt……The collarless blouse is IT!….A384511 is the style number and it is numerically sized…..The fabric is exceptional. It is a sheer georgette with woven stripes that look like matte satin ribbons. They even have a twill texture. The body flows due to this super soft and light as air fabric. It has a jewel neckline with a key hole back. It has a single button and an elastic loop. The CAP of the sleeve, and the bottom of the sleeve have extra shirring to give a billowy effect. There is a narrow cuff. Side slits give the blouse a somewhat casual look when worn outside.. You don’t have to worry about the sheerness because there is an ATTACHED TANK…..As a bonus I have added a beautiful oblong scarf in the matching fabric.. It’s the perfect blouse to dress up any jacket and the new BIG DEAL CARDIGAN…..a nonchalant elegance. It also looks wonderful with the sequin pants and the embroidered skirt in the LATTE and the new SILVER GREY coming this fall…………………..enjoy…………..much Love………………..Louis

…………………..WOW……alluring, sensual and yes sexy. A blouse for any woman at any age. The photos tell it all. Dressed up with the sequin pant or dress it down with the new jacket and jeans, this blouse and work for any life style………A little styling tip….when wearing the blouse with the sequin pant tuck the tank into the pant so you can see the sequins glittering through the blouse….second and third photo in from bottom right!…………..enjoy………………….much Love……………………………Louis

…………………..For the CARAMEL story the NEW STYLES in this color are the BIG DEAL CARDIGAN, and the SLEEVELESS TURTLENECK. The Super Ponte Boot Cut Pant in Caramel has also been reordered to go with the group. Since the Caramel Blazer, A343162, was reordered last season, and there are still jackets in inventory there was no reason to bring in a new solid style jacket when this is a proven style in the same Trench Coat fabric……..I think I will have to come up with a name for the TCF so I don’t have to keep referring to it as the “trench coat fabric”! Any ideas??…….Speaking of TRENCH COATS…the Caramel trench coat adds the finishing touch over all of the caramel pieces! There are only TWO TRENCHES LEFT and only in CARAMEL in a size 8 or a size 10!!! Now if this outfit at the lower and upper right, of the layered Caramel pieces, doesn’t look like thousand of dollars!!!! nothing does!!!! Coming in Oct. there will also be the new BOUCLE TWEED V-NECK JACKET in the CARAMEL and BLACK combination….BEAUTIFUL!……The cardigan looks fantastic belted for those of you who belt. Of course a lizard or croco belt would be ideal, but a beautiful calf belt, as the one above looks fantastic too. The men’s department usually has great Caramel color belts…Jac used to buy men’s belts and bring them to a shoe repair shop to have them shortened…..Caramel isn’t only a great column of color, but it’s the perfect accent to Black, Navy, Grey, Browns, Ivory, Camel, Tan, Chino, Wine, Mallard, Pine,Forest Green and Plum….just for example. There are many many more colors that look incredible with Caramel. If you love the south west you may even want to try TURQUOISE….Besides the new jewelry the Gypsy Coins necklace and earrings look perfect with Caramel, as well as so many other Linea jewelry pieces…like the BISTRO CHAIN NECKLACE & EARRING SET, and the AMBER TASSEL GRANDE…..Anything in CHOCOLATE METAL, like the GYPSY DISC NECKLACE, BRACELET & EARRING will look like a match made in heaven………….enjoy…………………….much Love………………….Louis

…………………….The colors of the CARAMEL pieces are so rich and varied. At first glance it looks like no two beads are the same. My photos do NOT DO THEM JUSTICE!…The colors in the previous collage are very accurate!!!!….Some of the beads even look like Tiger’s Eye…..It’s very natural and real looking, and they will look great on so many things you already own. They are so REAL looking that they look like old ethnic artisan pieces you bought in a very good jewelry store in Morocco…..Wear them with Rust, Sienna, and Browns, but you can contrast them on colors or other neutrals like Black [shown above], Grey and Navy. The Russian Gold and the Caramel beads look so perfect together……You’ll just have to play a lot! The beads are a combination of GLASS and RESIN with a metal pendant and spacer beads. I will say again…..these pieces look so expensive and are superb quality………………enjoy……………much Love………….Louis

……………………This GREY is a beautiful SOLID color. You would think grey would be an easy color to achieve, but it is not. Some are too purple, some too yellow. For me this is a clean pure Grey. Going forward I will probably use this as my Dark Grey solid standard. In the Grey color there will be the BIG DEAL CARDIGAN, the sleeveless TURTLE NECK, the long WK SKIRT, and the new Super Ponte Slim pant. The Bisque/Grey jewelry looks wonderful with the solid Grey and these WK pieces work perfectly with the Bisque apparel. In Oct. there will be a fabulous boucle tweed jacket in Bisque and Grey that coordinates with both colors. There will also be the small animal print in the Bisque and Grey to blend with it all…..At the right you see the Lace Inset top in the Graphite with the two grey bottoms. At the top I’ve layered the lace top for fall with the grey sleeveless TN, and at the bottom the Bisque tank…..The BEIGE CHANTILLY PEARLS are a perfect compliment to both the lace top and the Bisque color….I truly believe these Grey pieces can become the backbone, and essential to your solid wardrobe…………………………………………………

enjoy………………much Love………………Louis
