Hi everyone,
As I promised the following are the details of the reorder and new items for my May 10th shows. I will have two shows….one at 2:00am with Nancy and my second at 3:00pm with Sandra. Here we go:
The Reorders
A199799, is the medallion T shirt, The blue/green combination has been reordered. Just a heads up….I will have a new chambray weave Capri pant in a poly/rayon /span blend….. in a blue/white or a green/white that looks terrific with this coloration. The new khaki/sage/olive/straw combination goes with many things including the olive boho, the sage cotton suit from early in the season and the new cargo pants. If you have had them on wait list they may already be on their way to you. If you want either one, but haven’t ordered them yet, I suggest you don’t wait too long…..you don’t want to have to wait another whole year for them to come back!
A890794, is the printed ruffle front blouse with the short puff sleeve. The reorder color is the black/white and the new color is the Khaki/white. The khaki/white will go with many things including the new cargo pant in Chino. It also looks great under the new sand blazer from the last show……maybe paired with an ivory pencil skirt or pant. The sand and the chino are totally different colors and do NOT work together, [I know someone will ask], however, for some reason the khaki /white shirt works with both. For a totally different look wear it over the black crop pebble crepe pant with a narrow black patent belt, black patent ballet flats and black sunglasses….it’s a big city look.
A70208, The famous BOHO skirt. The reorder colors are the olive and black and the new colors are the mocha and perfectly pink. If you want any of these….order now….you don’t want to wait another year! I suggest you get a spare black since you can wear it 12 months out of the year. There is very little for me to say about this one. It was introduced to you 6 years ago!!!! and is stronger than ever. It is, without a doubt, the most popular skirt I have ever done in my entire career! I think the reason for this is because it fits and works for many women……you can wear it black tie or to the beach….it is great for New Years Eve or the hottest days of Aug….plus it is wash and wear and it is easily packed for a trip. I don’t think you can ask for much more from one item of clothing.
The NEW
A214878, is my new trench/safari……shirt/jacket. It is made in a brand new fabric for Linea. Think of it as my “Cotton Sateen Lite”. It is 97% cotton and 3% span. It is a lighter weight version of my cotton sateen…..my summer weight. This shirt/jacket is a combination of my three loves….the trench, military, and safari. It has a zip front and a shirt collar. It has body seams for shape and is TOTALLY unlined for the summer, as it should be. You can wear it in the summer as a light weight jacket or in the fall, layered with a mock, crew or turtle neck sweater. It is loaded with fun details……on the upper left body it has a trench flap with a snap, on the upper right body it has a real zipper breast pocket and just below that a small flap with a snap…..indicating a pocket, but it’s faux. The sleeves are 3/4 length with narrow band cuffs and two snaps to make them adjustable. On the upper left sleeve there is also a vertical zipper….indicating another pocket, however this is faux also. If you open it you will see a sliver of skin….air conditioning….or the color of the T shirt you may be wearing underneath. Either way it’s a fun little detail……of course you can always leave it closed. It also has side slits and comes with an optional self fabric tie belt…..or add your own wonderful leather belt….maybe a woven one. The colors are CHINO or IVORY, both with gold zips and snaps.
A214879, is my Cargo pant. It is made in the same “cotton sateen lite” and comes in the same two colors, Chino and Ivory. As for the style….think of the piped or cuffed cotton satin pant. These are easy fitting pants. They have a full elastic back and a partial elastic front, with a zipper and snap closure. The pockets are slanted like on the piped and cotton satin pant, only this time open or close with a zipper. The thigh has the traditional cargo pocket with a flap and snap. This pant also can be converted to a Capri by rolling them up and holding them in place with a tab and snap. When they are being worn down, there is also another tab and snap which can be used to taper the leg slightly…….just another fun detail that can be used….or not. These pants look GREAT with the Cheetah print pieces, the floral print blouse from above, the medallion T and just about any outfit you want to spice up……of course a T or tank, some gladiator sandals, big tortoise sunglasses and a huge straw tote….maybe my new ribbed cardigan tied over the shoulders….. that is all you need to look hot hot hot!
A214007, is my new “essential” tank, and, for me, it is ESSENTIAL. It has a V-neck and a ribbed body. It is a cotton/rayon blend, so the touch is wonderful. I did a V-neck tank a few years ago that was VERY successful for all women of all sizes…..it really should never have been dropped……so that is why I brought a similar one back. It is a VERY STRETCHY RIB!!!!!! So if you go by the measurement sizes it will seem small…….if you do not want a baggy tank…..go by your normal size. If you are a larger woman and have some specific body issues, you can go up ONE size if that makes you feel more comfortable……no more than one size. This is the perfect layering piece for under everything, whether its a causal or dressy jacket. The colors are Ivory and Navy……
A214008, is the matching cardigan. All of the suggestions I made for the tank, I am making for the cardigan. I had Jac try these two pieces on in size XS. She can wear both a small and an XS depending on the shoulders and how nipped in she wants it. She said she would definitely want the XS in both, but could understand some women wanting to go up a size, again no more than one size in the cardigan. This is truly an “Essential” piece….it’s a classic. I had the tank and cardigan on my mannequin with everything from the Bohos to the Hydrangea print to the blue Cheetah jacket….. with the cargo pant and the pebble crepe crop pant and the new long pebble crepe pant version coming in June….they just work with every single thing. I LOVE the ivory tank worn over the black/gray mosaic tiered skirt, a black patent belt, black sunglasses, big hoop earings, my essential cardigan tied over the shoulders and a big black mesh bag….this is a chic look for anywhere in the world.
That is it for the apparel…….now for the jewelry! Unfortunately I do not at this time have the “J” style numbers, but I will get them for you.
I will be offering two new “ESSENTIAL” chain pieces. Why essential….because they go with anything….any time of year. They are BOLD and BEAUTIFUL! Both the necklace and the bracelet have THREE bold rows of exactly the same links. Each individual link is comprised of two matching finer links…..linked into the next two links… into the next two links, etc. This keeps the pieces light , but gives a bold effect. They, of course, are plated with multi layers of GOLD…..not just one layer… like many, so called, better fashion jewelry is. This is FINE costume jewelry, as all of my jewelry is. Both pieces have lobster claw closings. I will be showing it on many models so you can get a GOOD LOOK. Remember, it can be purchased on line only. Wait until you see it with my June “Status Chain ” print…..WOW! The chain print will be in a Blazer, a Pencil skirt and something new…..a printed cotton “Lawn” short sleeve shirt( lawn is a light cotton fabric)…..you will get a sneak peek on my May show at 3PM…..along with some other sneak peaks.
That is all the info I have for you about the up coming shows. Jac and I look forward to “seeing” you….and maybe, if we are lucky, speaking with each other! My next show is in June and it’s a whopper! Eleven new and two reorders for a total of Thirteen pieces in multiple colors!
I have noticed that “Godfreako” has struck again! Please ladies, do not go crazy from this list. Some of these pieces are scheduled for months down the road and I will give you plenty of advance warning as to what is coming up. Let’s not get too far ahead of ourselves…….it takes some of the fun out of it…………new pics of Samantha coming soon!
Happy Passover and a Happy Easter to all of my dear friends………much LOVE, Louis
