“THE BLUE TUNIC

nectar4

………………………………BLUE is what we are calling this third and final color…..but what blue is it? Is it….Sky Blue…..Baby Blue, Bachelor Button Blue or Bluebell…..I’ll leave that up to you. What I can say is that it is a pure blue…..not a green or yellow blue, nor is it a purple blue………Whatever blue you see it looks wonderful with WHITE and NAVY…..from the trousers above to slim pants to Capri and crop pants to leggings……………..GOLD is my accessory of choice, and again I chose the two Gold Lariats and the Gold Hoop……………………..Enjoy………..much Love…………..Louis

“THEY”RE BACK!”

capri1

………………….The LINEA BODY LEGGING CAPRI LEGGINGS ARE BACK!! A274374 is the style number, and all of the original colors have been reordered……..BLACK…..NAVY…….GRAY……TAUPE……………….If you are new to Linea Body, this is a separate division of Linea. All of the product is made in the USA. The quality is superb, and competes with the best brands on the market, and because of the PRICE beats all of those well known brands. With anything it’s all about the quality and workmanship. My manufacturer usesd the best yarns avail many, like the basic yarns, he produces himself. Foe fancier items he is constantly researching and buying the latest and most upscale yarns from France, Switzerland and Italy. Truth be told he is the manufacturer for many “in house brands” for major up scale department stores and he produces for approx. 15 to 20 designer brands……all of which are more expensive then the Linea products using the same yarns, and in many cases the denier of the Linea products is higher. This is something I requested for a super silky feel and opaqueness. He is even manufacturing for some European designers. I would love to mention names, but alas I am not allowed to! The first time I presented these Capri leggings on air they were a sell out. I will be presenting them again on my June 8th, 4:00 pm show, so I expect there to be a run on them again. This is an item you definitely will want to have multiples of in colors. A heads up…..the gray and taupe look very pale in my photos….they are not…..All I can say is Jac has been living in these leggings with big easy tops……..That’s enough validation for me, because if she didn’t like them, believe me she wouldn’t care who’s they are!….LOL………………………………enjoy…………much Love……………..Louis

“THE SAGE & CINNAMOM MOSS CREPE TUNIC & PANT”

moss

…………………….MOSS CREPE has quickly become a Linea must have. As I have said, for me it is the perfect jersey knit fabric in a sea of jersey knit fabrics. The weight is perfect for year round wear. It’s not too heavy for the warmest weather nor is it too light for the winter……and it does NOT CLING! Of course extreme weather may call for a different kind of apparel, but in general these separates will be fine…..In the fall and winter add a cardigan for added warmth……What I love about this jersey is the “HAND” or feel and touch of the fabric. It has more of a dry hand like a expensive rayon matte jersey. It also is not SHINY, which many poly jerseys are………..The colors above are…….CINNAMON…….and….SAGE……..They are both soft mid range colors. These make the perfect TRANSITION COLORS from summer to fall………After July and August, when you have already worn these pieces, you can continue to wear them when all of your very summery things are no longer appropriate and are stored away……….TRANSITION…………….The Cinnamon is a SOFT color like a pale terracotta. There is no harshness to this shade at all, and should be flattering for most skin types…….The Sage is a soft green. This particular shade of Sage has a bit more blue than most Sage colors I have done, which tend to have a little more yellow………………..The TUNIC TOP, A273872, is approx. 29 inches long for the xxs…..It has a scoop neckline and a short sleeve. The length of the sleeve, from the top of the cap to the hem, is approx. 7 inches for the xxs. Compare that to tops you own to see if it is suitable for you. I know there are some who will take into consideration the length of a short sleeve……The top has a working button front….so you may want to leave some of the bottom buttons open. This may work well for some petites who may find the length too long for them. Doing this adds length to the leg. Also the fact that there is a matching pant will also create that column of color which is definitely elongating…..The fit is easy and follows the line of the body through the high rib cage…then flares out over the hips…not too much, but enough to add ease and movement………….The PULL-ON MOSS CREPE  PANT, A273877, will quickly become your new favorite…the very minute you put them on…….or maybe as soon as you take them out of the package!……..The top of the pant is constructed exactly as the previous Moss Crepe crop pant. You have your full elastic band, with the flat front section and the double row of stitching to prevent any twisting.. This special treatment gives the pant a designer finish and looks just as good with tops tucked in. There are no pockets in this pant…….I wanted them to be as trim as possible. The inseam length is 31 inches, however, they MAY hang a little longer due to the weight of the fabric. I apologize to my petite ladies, but these pants were bought in only one length. I will say these will be well worth hemming…….I know that there is a fear when you shorten a wider leg pant you will look wider because the leg will stand out…..Not with this fabric…..It has such a wonderful drape and weight that it will automatically drape into the body….still keeping that languid long look……The leg opening at the bottom is approx. 10 inches……….This is IMPORTANT…….even though I am showing these pieces to you as a matched top and bottom….remember that these are SPORTSWEAR SEPARATES……..They are meant to be mixed with other colors so you can get much more wear from them…..and that goes for the pull-on pant TOO………Colors to mix with both the Cinnamon and Sage…….Lt Khaki, Alabaster, Navy, Grey, Wine, Black, Ivory, Olive, Slate Blue etc……Do not be afraid to mix color with color. If you own the CLAY “KATE” cotton shirt it looks incredible with the cinnamon pant……..if you own the Lt. Tan wing collar cotton shirt it looks fabulous with Both…….You MUST PLAY and create your own combinations….if you’re not sure….ASK ME!………..Anything CHOCOLATE metal looks great with all of the colors these tops will be avail in. Unfortunately, the Falling Leaves necklace and earring set is totally sold out the last time I looked…..However, the Single Bar and Triple Bar necklace [chocolate is the only color left in the triple bar, and there are very few], are still avail in limited quantities, Chocolate is a VERY IMPORTANT COLOR AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE going forward……….I also love the simple elegance of the Lariat necklaces casually worn around the neck. I have heard some still don’t know how to wear it???? IT IS REALLY VERY SIMPLE….double it up before wrapping it around your neck, and then slide the two fobs through the loop you have created from doubling the chain……I love combing two color lariats together especially the Silver and Gunmetal……….Double the chains together as you would do with a single chain….wrap them around your neck and slide the four fobs through the four chain loop……..VOILA……..Simple….Modern….and Chic!……………………………………..enjoy…………………..much Love……………………Louis

“THE NAVY MOSS CREPE TOP & PANT”

M C

………………………….We are calling this NAVY, and in the photos you might think it is the Linea Navy, but it is not…..It is lighter and more of an Indigo navy. I just wanted you to know that. This navy is still as classic and versatile as the classic Linea Dk. Navy……..The pant, as a separate is as versatile as any navy pant you may own, but TEN TIMES MORE COMFORTABLE…..You may want to sleep or just lounge in these…….This Navy will also be perfect to mix with the other Moss Crepe pieces in Celadon and Cinnamon…..plus the tops that have already been offered in the Lt Khaki  and Slate Blue………These are ideal pieces for travel, and if you are planning a long plane trip I can’t think of a more comfortable thing you can wear………Once you own these pieces you will want more and more colors……….black for sure……………………..enjoy……………………..much Love……………………..Louis

“THE MOSS CREPE TUNIC CON’T”

I added these very wonky pictures [L.B. leggings never photograph well…they need a body in them], because I wanted to emphasize the point that these are SEPARATE pieces to be mixed with other colors. Above, I have the Slim Pant in Grey, the Linea Body Classic and Capri leggings in black, gray and walnut….ALL BACK IN STOCK……The Cinnamon looks especially well with the walnut legging and the CHOCOLATE BARREL BEADS…..There will be lots of new color pants in the super ponte coming this fall that will be wonderful with these transition colors!…..For a casual life style or out to dinner these pieces will work well for you…………………enjoy…………….much Love………………Louis
