My show on March 2nd has been changed from 2pm to 4pm and the host will now be Jill Bauer .

…………I can’t think of anything cooler or fresher to add to your Spring/Summer wardrobes than a wonderful 70% COTTON/30% NYLON blended CARDIGAN with LACE SLEEVES, A263357…..The WHITE cardi has a TWO WAY SILVER ZIPPER….always a good thing to style the sweater as you wish….A Little extra hip room is always welcomed…I felt the zipper gave this some what retro cardi a more modern casual look.The raglan sleeves are long with KNIT CUFFS, which makes it super easy to push up…..Take notice of the FULLY FASHION  SHOULDER SEAM…..this is not just cut and sewn. Fully fashioned sweaters take much more time to knit on the machines. The XXS length is 23 1/2 inches, and of course with each larger size the length gets longer. The jewel neckline is finished with a fine rib trim, which are attached with tubular trims……Down the front, on each side of the zipper, are DYED TO MATCH GROS GRAIN RIBBONS…..just for that added “designer” touch and finish. The bottom has a wider tubular band so it lays smoothly over the hip. Above, I have it shown with my new Linea Leisure pull-on pant in WHITE. In the photo above, I have nothing under the cardi, but you could wear the  WHITE ENR WK TANK, A253408….If that’s not avail in your size….you can always look at the “TWOFER” in WHITE, A255153…….Accessorize it as you wish….I have chosen the SILVER REVERSIBLE CROSS, J317110, crystal side up, and the Tapered Silver earring with crystals, J317111…..The look is refined and decidedly cool…..What a wonderful way to look on your next cruise or vacation………………………………………………..enjoy………….much Love………………….Louis

PERFECTLY PINK, PERFECTLY PINK, PERFECTLY PINK………Do I need to say more…..except it looks wonderful with the new DEW DROP PENDANT and EARRING set, J320890………………………………………………….

Did you not think I wouldn’t do this in………BLACK?……….Of course I did………..With GUNMETAL zippers, and GUNMETAL  jewelry…..you’re ready for anything…..Black jeans, Black pants, Slack Skirts…..Change it all to WHITE…..and it’s the best BLACK & WHITE SUMMER LOOK…..With the WHITE LINEA LEISURE PANTS , or black….a pair of sunglasses and sneakers…. you have  a casual, but sophisticated look. In between the black and white you have many choices of colors and patterns to wear with this black cardigan……. Dressed up….dressed down….you can wear this for any season……….enjoy……………much Love…………………..Louis

……I give prints a lot of thought before I say yes….this is good….this is it….A262028 is the style number for this new “Print of India”…..It takes a lot of hours designing prints and creating color combinations…..When the prints are ENGINEERED PLACEMENT PRINTS…..you can add many many more hours to the process. This print is an evolution of my fall print with a new twist. The center motif is narrower than the previous print, and the overall print is inspired by the prints and patterns of India. The “ground” print is a floral which, in the two deepest blues,  compliments the center motif. The sides of the garment, and the sleeves have a braid pattern, which end in a border print. This side braid print creates a slimming effect. The placement of the print is no accident. It was designed to flatter and create a leaner silhouette. Isn’t that what we want all garments to do? The colors all play off NAVY……Many shades of blue are used to to bring certain patterns forward, and to recede others all to create an elongated slender figure……..The QUALITY of printing is what separates my prints from many others that are avail. to you. It takes specialized printers who are capable of cutting the screens and placing the colors to give you the variations and shading of the colors. Many Italian print companies have partnerships with Chinese mills. They produce their secondary lines….the fabrics that are under $20 a yard! These Chinese mills have been taught all the intricate techniques that the Italian mills have passed along……The prints I do always have a European look to them……an intricacy you don’t often find with garments at this price range……The neckline is an open jewel/ballet…Please pay attention to how the print is designed to accentuate and follow the opening. The sleeves are long with a combination of the vertical braid pattern and a wide printed band…so even if you HAD to shorten…you would still have a nice border. The length is approx 25 1/2 inches for the XXS. The fabric is the same poly/span jersey I have used for many of my prints. You know the fabric, you know the “hand”, and you know how well it preforms. It is ideal for travel….easy to pack….easy to wash….and it always looks perfect….It’s a garment you can depend on……Wear it with a single strand of my new SIGNATURE necklace in gold or silver[silver above]….or even the mixed metal….your choice. I have chosen the matching signature earring, but all of the hoops or the SWIRL, J284033, will be terrific options…….A260070, is the style number of the WHITE LINEA LEISURE pant above………………………………Sometimes, even for those who are not necessarily “print” people, wearing something out of the box is a welcome change………………………………………………………………………………………….
