…………………………You really can’t beat the classic….NAVY/ IVORY combination with classic GOLD buttons. This combination will probably be the first to go…..fare warning…… Layer it with a matching navy tank, A255153, and jeans [any color]……a navy WK SKIRT, A255411, or NAVY LINEA LEISURE PANTS, A262070 reg or petite A262072……There are many colors and garments that you already own that you can wear with this cardigan. Maybe you have the navy Linea PINSTRIPE PANT….the combination is fabulous……Try many different color sweaters or shirts under this sweater. You can create a zillion different ways to combine what you have with this cardigan….even the “right print” top or bottom can look very special!….Belt it or wear it loose….I prefer to leave 2 or 3 of the bottom buttons undone for more room and a more casual look…..or button them all if you prefer………..The SIGNATURE necklace, J320486, in the GOLD or the combo of GOLD/SILVER both work…..and the SIGNATURE LINEA EARRING, A320884, will fast become a go to, work with everything earring. It is so comfortable you will forget your wearing them…For a more Chanel type look….add lots of PEARLS, and Linea  has them….. from the single 72″ strand, j264035, in cream, navy and pink….to the triple strand with the gold spacer beads, J296624. The J296890, PEARL and GOLD earring is the best coordinate…….. PERFECT…………Ladies…..this is QUALITY from head to pant hem. You will look sophisticated, chic, and definitely look like you spent lots of $$$$ for this outfit.

………………I always like to take something very classic….like a stripe cardigan……and do something to it that is unexpected! In this case…..the unusual color of……..TEAK….with BLACK. Don’t ask me to describe it, because it is just one of those colors you can’t nail down….that’s why it’s special. I have chosen to trim this color combination with the GUNMETAL SIGNATURE BUTTONS….Naturally, I accessorized it with GUNMETAL….In the photos I have both the REVERSIBLE GUNMETAL and BLACK JET cross [the reverse side it gray crystals with a gray pearl center], J317110…and the GUNMETAL FISH PENDANT….still to come…….any day now???? All I know is it’s been delivered….so it’s swimming around the warehouse somewhere?????. For bottoms….I’ve chosen the Linea Leisure pull-on pant in Black and White [reg and petite avail]. The black and navy are almost gone, but the white are still avail. Don’t wait till June to decide to pick up white pants…..they will be gone! They are terrific white pants….not see through and they have POCKETS……………………….The Kate shirt, A214116, gives  a nice tailored but still, casual attitude…..roll the cuffs back and push up the sleeve! Add your GUNMETAL BOLD HOOPS, J288055 and you big black sunglasses…..a GUNMETAL tote and off you go….I ill be showing Black and White Converse sneakers with this look…..great for a day running around the city!……………………………………………………………………………

……………………..As I look out my window at all the COLD WHITE SNOW and the FROZEN LONG ISLAND SOUND!!!……this SUNSHINE YELLOW and NAVY cardigan with gold buttons looks very cheery. We all NEED color in our lives and throwing on a cardigan is one easy way to achieve it………I simply have it shown with the Kate shirt, A214116, in the BUTTER YELLOW [which came out a little paler in my photos]… a pair of jeans….some yellow/white converse sneakers…..the LOVE KNOT 18 ” necklace…..and the GOLD SWIRL EARRING, J284033….JUST back in stock……This will definitely bring some JOY and SUNSHINE into your day…..I guarantee anyone you meet will be appreciative of you “happy” appearance!……………………………….enjoy……………Much Love………………Louis

………The DENIM JACKET, A232350, is  back and ready for ordering. Since QVC has already posted the jacket, without color pictures, I thought there was no sense holding back my pics……even though this jacket isn’t going to be on air for another month???on the Leah Williams show, Sat. March 21th…..that is if there are any still left!?…..For those of you who are new to this jacket all of the necessary measurements are posted on the QVC Linea site, but there are some notable facts you should know…….The fabric…….this is a “SUMMER WEIGHT” denim. Let me explain….there are in existence more denim qualities of fabric then you have hair on your head! They come in a huge variety of weights, weaves and finishes….so for those of you who question whether this is a denim fabric or not….IT IS. It may not be your typical Levi old heavy weight denim….none the less  it is denim. Why did I choose this denim out of all the existing denims?…..because I wanted a season-less denim that you would be comfortable wearing into the summer….and through the summer…fall, winter and spring. You still need something to cover your bare arms in air conditioned settings. Right now….where it is brutally cold….you can still layer this jacket with turtlenecks, and still feel comfortable putting a coat over it…….For this very reason of the extreme variety of weather…I chose this quality denim. The jacket is unlined for maximum comfort in the hot weather, and for maximum stretch……….This jacket has a fitted shape, but it is not tight to the body. You can see from the photos above that even when the jacket is worn open it still has a lovely shape. The shape is due to the “corset” seaming. This placement of seams gives you the best “hour glass” shape……..There are NO POCKETS in this jacket…..why?…..because they would have altered the shape of the jacket…..If you must have pockets I would suggest getting pants or a skirt with them…LOL……..The jacket is trimmed with my signature “logo” metal buttons and grommets……………..The photos above feature the new….BLEACHED BLUE DENIM………a soft sky blue color…..Needless to say the new SIGNATURE LOGO necklaces and earrings look terrific with the buttons on the jacket without looking too matchy….since they are all slightly different………I have also layered the jacket with the WHITE DENIM VEST, A252356, which has also been reordered in the WHITE, and the BLEACHED BLUE DENIM….The skirt is my vintage Linea Indigo denim skirt, but my NAVY WK or PONTE skirt will look great too……The jacket is also avail in the INDIGO, SUNBURST YELLOW and AQUA. Quite frankly, with the popularity of the Aqua WK sweaters, which match this denim Aqua perfectly, I’m surprised they haven’t all be snatched up…….Spring is just 30 days away! I know many of you are suffering from the cold weather, and there are also many of you in the southwest and Cal. who  have been having record breaking heat……I guess these extremes in weather are becoming the norm. No matter what the weather….I think this casual denim jacket, with a lot of pizzaz, will work for anyone’s  lifestyle………………………………enjoy………..much Love…………………….Louis

……….When this jacket was first introduced……WHITE was the first color to sell out……so  the WHITE has been reordered. This is a fabulous white jacket….BUT….BEWARE….YES….it is slightly SEE THOUGHT!!!!!LOL….Of course it’s going to be slightly see through…..it’s unlined! Would you prefer it heavy as lead with a satin lining or light as a feather and unlined…..obviously you know what my choice is. I purposely layered this WHITE denim jacket with a sneak peek striped “sailor sweater” and a RED elbow sleeve mock neck, because I think, IMHO, it is a very old fashioned way to think that a white jacket, especially a casual one can’t have some see through…..that’s the hazards of white. If this really bothers you, then I would not suggest the white for you, but the great majority of women could care less….and went for the white….and have enjoyed it all spring and summer and fall!..wearing it over everything from shorts and skorts to maxi dresses….BTW…the RED ELBOW SLEEVE MOCK NECK WK SWEATER, A251584 is still avail in the RED, SUNSHINE YELLOW, NAVY and WHITE! These are all colors that are going to be very important for the Linea collection this SPRING!I would recommend, if you are between sizes or like your clothes to fit easy, go to your next larger size….If you haven’t gotten yours I would not wait too long….I am going to be showing them a lot!……………………………………..enjoy…..much Love………………..Louis
