……………………….The FAUX SHETLAND V-NECK SWEATER, A259108, is returning in FOUR NEW COLORS…..True Shetland is a 100% wool yarn that was created on the Shetland Island, which is part of Scotland….They are known for their SHEEP from which the Shetland wool is made. The most recognized feature of the wool is its’ fuzziness and the heather effect it sometimes has….It is a beautiful yarn. Growing up I had many Shetland pullovers. Many of my fellow female classmates also had their Shetland pullovers in an array of wonderful colors…..My Faux Shetland yarn is a blend of 83% acrylic and 17% nylon. Acrylic yarns are known to be very soft, and this is a soft sweater, but if you are super sensitive the texture and fuzziness may feel itchy. I have to say the great majority of women do not find this acrylic/nylon itchy at all, or it would never have been reordered!……..As a reminder….this is the exact same yarn as the Poncho, the V-Neck Cardigan and the brand new two way zip Cardigan/Coat that many of you are now receiving, and it’s getting great reviews. The cardigan/coat is four ply, while the V-neck is a single ply…which makes it FEATHER WEIGHT……..The first of the four colors is………..BLACKBERRY…….The surface of the sweater almost has a FROSTED look due to the heather aspect of the yarn…………Out of all the photos above the DARKER photos show the color more accurately………..I have it shown with the BLACKBERRY WK TN, A72448, and the SOLID GREY PONTE SLIM PANT, A265615. I think this particular grey works well with the heather of the sweater………………Accessories……….anything in GUNMETAL or SILVER will work best. I think the new Black Knee High, A283073, with the GREY PIN STRIPES will finish the look off nicely…………………………….enjoy…………..much Love………………….Louis

…………………………WILLOW…………is the second color I have chosen, which was actually a request, so I hope this Willow is THE WILLOW that was thought of! I think it’s a soft lovely color, that will be a welcome break come Feb. when many of us will long for spring to arrive………Willow is a soft green with a pale grayed yellow undertone. It reminds me of Chinese Celadon porcelain…….To keep the look fresh I have chosen to layer the Willow V-neck with the ALABASTER S/S jewel neck, A267882,  that many of you own and many of you requested that I bring back. As you know I usually do not like to bring back “old” colors, but I made an exception in this case, because I feel the Alabaster is an important color. Since I am carrying the Alabaster color into next year I felt this WK sweater will be needed going forward………I also have the Light Khaki Slim Pant, A265615 paired with both pieces in the photo above. Unfortunately, this pant in this color is almost gone….so….instead of bringing it back…..I will have the pant in the new ALABASTER! The only problem is, as of now, it will be late next season…………….The new STONE DROP PENDANT NECKLACE, J333066, in the Howlite color is perfection with the Willow V-neck…..A simple gold earring like the Demi Hoop is all you need to to finish your look. A  ballet flat in a light tan or camel suede would be perfect……QVC has two shoes, A271627, or A269721 that I am considering showing with this outfit…..Heads up….if you find that the neckline does not sit flat on your neck this is due to the PACKING……STEAM should shrink it back into place………………….enjoy………………..much Love……………………….Louis

……………………CAMEL…………is the third color that will be avail in the new V-neck Faux Shetland sweater. It is a soft camel due to the heather effect…………….The new TIGER EYE PENDANT, J333066, works beautifully with the Camel color. To keep the colors all in the same family I have chosen the LINEA BODY LEGGING, A260035, in the new UMBER color. Remember, these are nice LONG sweaters that work perfectly with leggings. Everything is covered and nothing CLINGS!……..With the addition of the Tiger Eye,  all of the colors and textures looks wonderful together. Of course you can always switch out the legging for the Dk. Umber Super Ponte Pant, A268216…….. Other alternatives with the Camel are Black, Navy, Grey, Kahki and Ivory….like the Ivory MILANO WK SKIRT, A273880……..Layering under the sweater is always an option with either a shirt [the wing collar cotton shirt in white , pale blue, pale pink are perfect], or another sweater…like a TN or jewel neck…………….These Faux Shetland sweaters are great for cozy weekends, as well as going to work come Monday morning………………………..enjoy……………much Love……………………….Louis

……………………………..Last, but definitely not least is the………………..NAVY……..I love how the Navy looks FROSTED……….Shown above is the Pale Blue WING COLLAR SHIRT, A259103, and the brand new STRAIGHT LEG SUPER PONTE PANT which will be avail in two lengths! How did that happen?? I guess miracles and wishes do come true!………….The “look” is timeless………sophisticated and elegant…..words that are always part of my vernacular………To keep the look COOL… silver or gunmetal are my metals of choice……..You really can not go wrong with any color/colors you choose for this Shetland sweater. These are collectibles that you will be wearing for many years to come……………………….enjoy…………………much Love………………………..Louis

……………….I don’t know if you have purchased your 3 PACK of my new LINEA BODY knee high sock collection yet…..but I thought I should give you a heads up! These have been “on line only” for just three weeks and more than half the quantity is sold………….If you have any reservations or hesitations……….PLEASE READ THE REVIEWS!……….They are all FIVE STAR, and they couldn’t be more glowing……..Some of the important things the women have said is they are VERY COMFORTABLE and the FIT is PERFECT….Even women with LARGE CALVES find them very comfortable and not binding in any way. My manufacturer, the best in the USA, calls the top band, “the COMFORT BAND”. Another feature they love is how SOFT they are….even the LACE. They describe the SOLID OPAQUE KNEE HIGHS as being SILKY SMOOTH……One of the most important features is that after a full day of wearing…..THEY STAY UP!…….The PRICE is also incredible for the QUALITY and DESIGN. At $17.50 they are approx. $5.80 a pair………………..These would make fabulous CHRISTMAS and HANUAKKAH presents…..No worries about fit or color, and they make a wonderful, thoughtful  impression. You can’t go wrong……………………………………….

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