………………………………….The WHITE WING COLLAR SHIRT, A259103, and it is the creme de la creme…..It sold out in a flash when first presented, and my shirt lovers wanted it duplicated IMMEDIATELY! I understood the wanting, but there isn’t any way to bring them back within the same season………….so it’s here and you can get as many as you want…..there are no limits……but be for warned….when it’s aired I’m guessing it will fly out again…………….There is absolutely no article of clothing that is more ICONIC…..more AMERICAN…..more representative of AMERICAN SPORTSWEAR than a CRISP WHITE COTTON SHIRT……If there was ever an ESSENTIAL MUST HAVE…..this is it…………………………………………………..

………………………..The BLUE TUNIC, A267874……….is my newest addition to my LINEA LEISURE collection……….Why do I call it Leisure and then show it with a boot skirt?…….because I want to show the versatility of these pieces…..and the skirt is the NAVY Linea Leisure skirt, A262069, in the cotton/span knit, so it still qualifies as a “leisure” outfit….right? …..You can easily wear the top with jeans, leggings, or again, with a skirt or my SLIM DRESS PANTS, A265615, for work…..The top is already posted on the Linea QVC site and ready for ordering……This isn’t scheduled to be aired until August 31st so you really are getting a jump. The Q is posting them quicker than I can photograph them!!…….All of the details, measurements and such, are posted on the site, but what it doesn’t tell you is this. The hand and weight of the fabric is similar to the weight of the Ponte knit I use for dresses. That makes it extremely flattering on the body, and SMOOTHS OUT any figure flaw you may have. There will be absolutely NO CLINGING with this fabric……..The pattern knitted into the fabric is interesting too. It is not a print…..I have been using striated and marled knits for quite a while, but this one is different. There are a series on uneven, thin broken horizontal lines knitted into the fabric. Now imagine the pattern is on a billboard on the road side and you are wizzing by……you’ll understand when you see it……. It has PRINCESS SEAMS front and back and then starts to flare out over the rib cage. This should make all of my apples and pears very happy. It should actually make all of you very happy as it is a very youthful silhouette. I would say the fit on this is spot on, and I know the great majority of you will be very pleased……so feel comfortable ordering your regular size….That said you should always check the measurements. I’d say the two important measurements here are the shoulder and bust……The waist and hip measurement are inconsequential due to the flared silhouette……The sleeves are long, and the open jewel neck is…..PERFECT for all kinds of necklaces and accessories……For just a little more detail I have added a THREE BUTTON HENLEY OPENING at the neck…..use it or not. I am very confident, no matter what your lifestyle, that this will be a favorite piece in you refreshed fall wardrobes……great for travel or just going through your daily routine…….. The Lariat should be arriving at the end of the month…..hopefully in time for the show. The Lariat in the pictures was the first sample and not quite correct, but it will look like this………………. The tunic top is super comfortable which should make you super happy!………………………………………………………………………………………enjoy…………………………much Love…………………………… Louis

………………………….The BLACK TUNIC, A267847………..it is called BLACK……..BUT…….due to the type of yarn mix and the pattern it is closer to CHARCOAL GREY………Above, I have it shown with my BLACK SLIM PANT, A265615, but I will be showing it with my BLACK LINEA BODY LEGGING, A260034, which are coming back in stock with the addition of the new OLIVE……………………..enjoy……………………much Love………………..Louis

…………..The MOSS TUNIC, A267874…..is the third and final color being offered in this top. I have heard through the QVC grapevine that OLIVE will be one of “the” colors this fall……It happens to be one of “the” colors for me EVERY YEAR!……I will say my photos do not do the MOSS color justice. I even tried without a flash and no lights in the room, but it still came out a little faded looking. That said the color is a lovely mid shade and a neutral enough moss to work with most complexions. I have it paired with my WK OLIVE SKIRT, A237411, but as I have mentioned it will be perfect with the new LINEA BODY LEGGINGS, A260034, in the new DARK OLIVE [same color as the WK skirt]….With your OLIVE WK SKIRT….you can now have the BRAND NEW MATCHING OLIVE TIGHTS, A260016……NOW IN STOCK……It isn’t too early to start thinking about replenishing your TIGHTS WARDROBE……before your size starts to disappear in the color/colors you want….especially the new OLIVE and TOBACCO….Last year every color SOLD OUT, and it has taken a year to get them back. Last November…women were asking where are the tights…..sorry….sold out. Don’t be disappointed this year……….The FALLING LEAVES necklace in all of the colors, CHOCOLATE above, will look great on each color of this new TUNIC TOP……………………………………………enjoy………………….much Love…………………………..Louis
