…………………………….The FAUX SHETLAND SWEATER…..A259108……is returning due to popular demand, and will be avail. this month. I’m not sure when it will be posted, and since I have no more appearances this month you will have to keep checking…….. I am adding a new color……………….ANTIQUE ROSE……….It’s the shade of pink that you would find in dried keepsake flowers, does anyone do that anymore?……….or a winter STRAWBERRY………………This color is meant to flatter!………For those of you who are not familiar with this sweater or yarn….I introduced it last fall for the first time. The yarn has the look of wool Shetland, but there is NO wool in this. The yarn is a blend of 83% acrylic, and 17% nylon which when dyed gives the heather effect…….It has a very soft touch….. Some may think from the photos that this is a heavy dense sweater, but it is not. If anything I would almost call it GOSSAMER, because it is very LIGHT in weight….so be forewarned….this is not a HEAVY BULKY sweater…It is a well know fact that in the winter, to keep warm, it is better to dress in a few light layers than one or two heavy layers……….This sweater has a 92% approval rating…..70 women out of 76 gave it two thumbs up…..that’s pretty good, and  the returns were very low…so the results were good enough for it to be reordered……I would suggest you read the reviews for all of the info you may want to know……Some may call this a “boyfriend” V-neck sweater, but for me that always connotes OVER SIZED…..which this is not….especially if you intend to layer it with a shirt, TN, jewel neck sweater, tee shirt etc……………..Above, I have the Antique Rose sweater over the Pink wing collar shirt and the Aubergine WK skirt…..The Perfectly Pink TN, A72448, would also be the perfect layering piece………For another look wear this sweater with your new PLUM MOTO JACKET, WALNUT  LINEA BODY LEGGINGS or your WALNUT WK SKIRT your WALNUT LINEA TIGHTS…..boots and WOW….that’s a great look for anyone at any age…………….Around her neck and hanging from her ear…..the CHOCOLATE FALLING LEAVES NECKLACE and EARRING…….REMEMBER the CHOCOLATE DEMI HOOP EARRING is a wonderful alternative, especially for those who can not wear a longer earring. The Chocolate really looks wonderful on the Antique Rose………………………………………………………….enjoy……………………………much Love………………………………..Louis

……………………………PERSIAN BLUE……………….is also making a return, due to popular demand…….It’s a color that is hard to define………It has a slight under tone of teal, but it also has the look of midnight blue…..the color of the evening sky before it turns to black…………..I  love this sweater simply worn with a maxi skirt and a pair of boots. Maybe you were lucky enough to get my Ponte maxi in the Grey or Black…..or for you Southern Ladies the SMOKE FEATHER JERSEY MAXI…..there may be a few left………….This is the perfect outfit for delicate necklaces…like the Love Knots above…..the new GM Multi Cross necklace….the Falling Leaves necklace and earring………the Lariat in GM or Silver………or the reversible Cross in GM or Silver……………….This Persian Blue is a very calming Zen like moody color…………a cozy sweater to cuddle up with a good book, such as “The Little Paris Bookshop” by Nina George……Jac gave it to me to read, and it’s a very sweet story. If you love France and Provence you will love this. For my friends who have taken river cruises in France……..this is for you.  Wear your sweater with a pair of Linea Leisure pull-on pants……find a cozy corner, and have a cup of tea…..and start reading………………………………………………………………………..

…………….Another color returning in the FAUX SHETLAND V-NECK SWEATER is……….CHARCOAL…….a PIVOTAL color………There are so many ways you can put this sweater together!….I have illustrated just a few….from left to right……………………the WK Ivory turtleneck with the waist whittling ribs, A259110, with the new Super Ponte Boot Cut pant in black, A268216 and the black/grey Zebra coat, A267936, nonchalantly worn over it all. The SILVER TRIPLE BAR NECKLACE, J325472, is the cherry on top of this sea of grey, black and ivory…….Next up…..an Ivory WK SHIRT COLLAR WK SWEATER with long sleeves, A257383….the v-neck charcoal faux Shetland, and a vintage Black Linea PLEATED SKIRT…..worn with a the Black Beret….very French school girl……around her neck the reversible SILVER CROSS with the JET center, J317110……add the BLACK MOTO JACKET, A267935, for a bit of EDGE, and you have parochial school girl meets biker chick!….always a winning combination…………..One more…..the IVORY WK BALLET NECK long sleeve sweater, A237405, which would also look great in black under the charcoal sweater for a more tonal look……the Black WK pencil skirt, A237412……..THE MUST HAVE LINEA TIGHTS with a shoe boot, and once again the ZEBRA over it all…….add your SILVER FALLING LEAVES, J325475….and WOW…….cosmopolitan glamour…..For those real chilly days add the LINEA WK SCARF, A257914 in BLACK, BRICK RED or NUTMEG for an instant shot of color!……Any one of these outfits is a 10 STAR LOOK…………………..enjoy…………………….much love……………………..Louis

……………..More photos in the …………….HEATHER GREY……………..For me this is the COLOR of the Season………….and it is returning in the FAUX SHETLAND V-NECK SWEATER, A259108. It blends beautifully with all of your LINEA PONTE heather grey pieces from the past….as well as the new CHARCOAL BOOT CUT SUPER PONTE pant……..Above, the WHITE WING COLLAR SHIRT……..the HEATHER PONTE PANT……the SILVER BAR NECKLACE and HOOP EARRING…..To keep warm throw your ZEBRA COAT in the GREY/BLACK combination over it all….or…..for a look that’s a bit more sassy………wear your BLACK LINEA BODY LEGGING, A260034,  BOOTS, and your new BLACK LEATHER MOTO JACKET……the BLACK WHISPER KNIT SCARF……BLACK SUNGLASSES PLEASE……..Let’s keep the MYSTERY ALIVE!……..

……………………………………….The LINEA LEISURE HOODIE with the FAUX LEATHER SLEEVES, A267865 is one of my favorites of the Fall season. I wanted to give the hoodie a NEW TWIST…..a MODERN EDGE. With all of the hoodies avail. what I felt was missing was something more of a “fashion statement”…..bridging uptown with downtown. For me, the faux leather sleeves were the answer, and it’s completely washable. What I love about this particular hoodie is I can see anyone of any age wearing it and looking modern…..from teenage girls to grandmothers…..Worn with my Linea Leisure pull-on pant with the TUXEDO STRIPE, A268243, gives the entire outfit the….COOL FACTOR! This pant has a 100% approval. It is the same body as the new Super Ponte Boot cut pant, which sold out strictly from on line sales, and has been reordered for next fall. This L.L pant is as comfortable as PJs!….. It can be very difficult to make an individual statement wearing Leisure clothes when they all start looking the same. That will not be the case with anyone wearing this STATEMENT HOODIE. For those of you who may think it may be too much out of your comfort zone….I say stepping out of the box is a GOOD THING!……………….It would make a great present, not only for yourself, but your daughters, DIL, grand daughter and best friends……………The colors are…..TOBACCO…….AMETHYST……..NILE GREEN………POMEGRANATE……….and………….SLATE BLUE………..Remember it’s on EZ Pay for a limited time.

……enjoy………………………………….much Love………………………………………Louis
