………………………..A263353, the OMBRE TUNIC has arrived……and is now avail for ordering! I know many of you have been asking me if and when it was coming back, and what the new colors would be…..I realized, due to your comments, that the new pictures of the new colors have not been posted on the QVC site….so here they are………..PINK……..is the first new color…….Due to the fact that it is an OMBRE print it is hard to pinpoint exactly what the pink color is……What I can say is it is a blue pink…not a peachy pink. It is very difficult to completely control how the colors will come out because one color is overlaying another to create the ombre. This is not a “dip dye” process….it is a multi screen print. The different shades of pink ombre down to different shades of grey……….Personally I prefer this particular coloration worn with BLACK….whether the BLACK MOSS CREPE SKIRT, A262454, above, or the many different options of leggings and pants of different lengths and pant widths that are now avail to you……….Above the SLIM BLACK PONTE PANT, A265615, which is the ideal weight for spring and summer wear. The new BLACK LINEA BODY CAPRI LEGGING, A274374, is perfection for that casual chic look………………….I think the LARIAT NECKLACE, J325469, doubled in GUNMETAL and SILVER gives the look a very MODERN COOL vibe paired with the SILVER BOLD HOOPS, J288005………….My last word of advise……….if you want this tunic top do NOT hesitate……..you snooze you loose, and I am sure when I present it….if it gets the same reception as it did when I first showed it….it will be gone in a flash…..Once again there are not huge quantities, and I do not want any of my loyal customers to be disappointed………I also can not say “if” the top is successful again that I will bring back any of the colors……..I’m all about what’s next…………….enjoy………………..much Love……………Louis

………………………..AQUA……………….is the second new color in the OMBRE TUNIC, A263353…….Again it is hard to pinpoint what the color actually is since there are many shades of Aqua in the print…….The Pink and the Aqua are not bright clear colors…..they have a smoky quality that I find very SOPHISTICATED and up scale. The first colors I did in this top were very vivid and bright, so I decided to go in a completely different direction……I am pretty sure you will love them as much as I do. I also love this coloration with GREY BOTTOMS. The SLIM PANT, J265615, and the new Linea Body GREY CAPRI LEGGING, A274374 are your best choices…..If you own the Feather Jersey bottoms in the Smoke they work best with the Aqua, but it is not my first choice since it is a paler grey and I like the darker bottom………………….For those of you who own this poly jersey fabric you know all of the positives….the cool hand of the fabric…..the fact that it doesn’t wrinkle, and washes like a dream. It’s the perfect travel piece. I do realize that there are some who do not like polyester so this would not be for you, but I have to say the great majority of my QVC customers love this poly jersey, and it continues to reorder. I have even made some converts with this particular fabric…….Again, I went with GUNMETAL accessories…….the DINGLE DANGLE necklace, J325473, makes a strong presence without overwhelming. For me it’s the perfect balance…….The GUNMETAL BOLD HOOP is my favorite, but for those who prefer something smaller the DEMI HOOP or Gunmetal stud will also be perfect!………………. I know you will enjoy this new top…………………….much Love……………………..Louis

………………………..The PEACOCK OMBRE TUNIC is returning! I had the option of bringing back all of the original colors and not introducing any new colors…..or bringing back one and adding two new colors………so I opted for the two new…..I hope you agree! My thinking is this. If you were fortunate to get the three original colors you have something very special and unique…..There was a very limited quantity to begin with…..Scarcity always makes something more valuable and desirable!! Of the three original colors the Peacock sold out first with the largest wait list so that is the color I chose to bring back. For those who missed out the first time here is your opportunity to finally get the Peacock…..but fair warning I will not bring it back again……scarcity makes it more desirable!…LOL………………ATTENTION…..in the photos above is a new SNEAK PEEK…………….the NEW navy MOSS CREPE PULL ON PANT….due in July…..there will also be a matching tunic top with a short sleeve….and THAT’S ALL I’M SAYING…..except it will be one length, no pockets, a nice flowing leg width, and will be in three transition colors…..my lips are SEALED!…..No more questions PLEASE……it’s a long time from now until July 18th at 5:00 pm………………….enjoy…………………much Love………………………Louis

………………………….Here is your first sneak peek for June!……………We were able to reorder the Linea Body Capri Legging in all of the original colors for my June 8th 4:00PM show!! I truly have the BEST manufacturer in the USA. Since he owns his own factories and the machines he is able to turn things around very quickly…..so in just a few weeks the shelves will be stocked again with BLACK, GREY, TAUPE and NAVY Linea Body Capri Leggings……..BTW…the photos of the Grey and Taupe look much paler then they actually are………….I have to add on a funny story…..I was readining the reviews [there were only 5!!!] and all were great except one. She complained about the “seams” not being straight??!! I found this extremely amusing considering these are SEAMLESS LEGGINGS……………………………enjoy…………….much Love……………………….Louis

………………………..My Mother was a beauty…..both outside and in….Her friends called her “carrot top” because of her beautiful wavy red hair. Her given name was Lorita, but everyone called her Edith. She had beautiful soulful dark brown eyes……I like to think I have my Mother’s eyes………Sometimes it’s hard to think that our mothers had full lives before we were born. They too were children….grew up…were teenagers….became adults…..and had many experiences….had friends, and boyfriends. They worked and  played……They went away in the summers with their girlfriends……and who knows what went on….though I have seen pictures, and heard “some” stories!…… They went to dances and parties, and celebrated all of the Holidays…..all before we were born…but, then we did come along….and they became Mothers…….My mother married my father what in those days was considered late in life. She was 28. I asked her why she waited to get married……”I was having too much fun!” she said…… I’m my Mother’s baby, and yes I was definitely a mommy’s boy. My two older brothers are six and eight years older then me. There was another baby between my middle brother and me, but it wasn’t to be…..Then I arrived!…………..My Mother and I were always very close…..You could say in my early years I hung onto her apron strings…..She taught me how to drive a car……..When I moved into the big city at 18 I was the last of her brood…..I know she was very sad to see me go……..My Mother passed away nine years ago at the age of ninety six…..so we did have many years together, but they are never enough…………There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think of her………………………………………………………………..

……………………..Happy Mother’s Day Mom……………….I’ll Love you forever…………………………………….
