……………………….Jac wore the WINE V-NECK SWING SWEATER, A282506, a deep rich saturated color, out to dinner with the BLACK SLIM PONTE PANT A265615, [as above], the GOLD RIBBON NECKLACE, J331643, [shown above in Gunmetal], the GOLD STUD EARRING, J317109, the new BLACK LACE TROUSER SOCKS, A283073 and the WINE TRENCH COAT, A267875, which MATCHES the new V-NECK WINE WK SWING SWEATER……perfectly!……. I have to say she looked like a billion bucks! No one in this very exclusive restaurant looked better…..Yes, I’m biased….but IMHO she was the best dressed woman there, and that is a fact. It is such a simple look…..no gimmicks….no frou frou….just classic with TONS of CLASS. This is how I want to see women look!…..Anyone dressed like this….walking into a room….will be the best dressed woman in the place……bar none!…………..enjoy………………..much Love…………………………Louis

……………………………..This is THE SWEATER you will want to own in every color it’s available in…………and then more!…………………TOBACCO………….is the color above. Okay, I hear you…..which Tobacco is this???…..It is a perfect match to the TOBACCO LINEA BODY TIGHTS, A260016……………I will be showing this sweater with the WK MILANO BLACK SKIRT, A273880, and the Tobacco Tights with a sleek BLACK SHOE BOOT…………….I will be accessorizing the outfit with the CHOCOLATE DINGLE DANGLE NECKLACE, J325473, and the Chocolate Demi Hoop Earring which is sold out, but the Chocolate metal STUD is still avail, J317109……………..One of the reasons I love this necklace is because there is a lot of metal SURFACE, which really shows off the metal colors. It is spectacular in the chocolate with the tobacco……………………..enjoy………………………….much Love…………………………..Louis

……………….Many times when I am putting the outfits together for the show I can’t decide what earring to use? When that happens I always reach for the STUD EARRINGS, J317109, and they ALWAYS WORK………………I rarely do a set of anything….unless I think there is great use for it and good value………This set of FOUR METAL STUDS fits both criteria…………I am offering these earrings in the four metal colors I MOSTLY USE for my necklaces………….RUSSIAN GOLD [which really works IMHO with all golds]…..SILVER……..GUNMETAL…..and CHOCOLATE. The earrings are PIERCED ONLY…………..The SET OF FOUR is now on CLEARANCE at a great price……$21.72……a little over $5 a pair……remember these are not plastic or acrylic. When I decided to offer this set “we” all thought it was a terrific idea because it was such a problem solver……Many of you love the Gold RIBBON NECKLACE, but haven’t found just the right earring to pair with it. I show the BOLD HOOP in GOLD and that works fine for me, but for those who are looking for a better solution…..this stud is the answer. It is small enough and far enough away from the necklace that any difference in color is negligible. The Gold stud is in the Russian gold so it is not a shiny ball, and is closer in color to the necklace. These will also work with your new TRAPEZE NECKLACES……..If you bought the LACQUER BLACK TRAPEZE, and still are not sure what earring to wear with it……this GUNMETAL STUD is the answer. It is dark enough and small enough that it will not clash with the black necklace………….I truly think this is a set you should not pass up, and you know when it is on clearance……….once it’s gone it’s……………………This set will also make a terrific present. It’s beautifully boxed and it works for anyone at any age……………………….enjoy……………………..much Love………………………..Louis

………….At some point in most women’s lives they dream of owning a beautiful RED COAT…..Dream no more…..At 11:00am on MONDAY, Oct 17, this coat can be yours!…. I am offering you this beautiful SCARLET RED COAT!….A284133….. The fabric is the exact same fabric as the TRENCH COAT, A267875, so you already know this is a QUALITY garment. The workmanship is what you have come to expect from Linea apparel…I have to say this coat is simply superb….Between the fabric, the attention to detail and the sewing and top stitching make this coat look quadruple the price……..The coat will be in NUMERICAL SIZES, and the size 6 is approx. 34 1/2 inches long, so it’s more like a three quarter coat on the average height woman. The coat is fully lined in dyed to match satin…….It has a stand collar that looks great all buttoned up, very military style, but it looks just as good worn opened. There is a YOKE at the top of the coat, and there are body seams from the yoke extending to the hem. In these seams are hidden POCKETS. There is an INSET “BIB” detail down the front that extends below the waist line for a leaner longer look. There are close ups of this detail in the photos…. There is also a HORIZONTAL SEAM near the waist. For some it will be at the waist….for others below or above…..It really doesn’t matter where this seam hits on your body, because the fit is not determined by this seam. The fit follows the lines of the body. The coat has a slight A-Line for lots of walking room………..GOLD BUTTONS are everywhere on coats this season, so I had to have a very special GOLD NUGGET BUTTON made exclusively for this coat. Many years ago I did a double breasted suede jacket for QVC that had these exact buttons……Maybe some of you still have the jacket. It is as in style today as it was many years ago when I first presented it. This coat will have the same longevity as that jacket because GOOD STYLE never goes out of fashion……This coat is truly timeless……In the photos above I have the SCARLET RED TN which I believe is sold out. I told you it was going to be important! However, when I present this coat I will show it with the SCARLET RED SWING WK SWEATER, A268137, which actually gives the whole outfit more PENACHE. The A284133, Scarlet Red WK skirt, shown above, is still to come. Since I do not have Scarlet tights. too bad, I will be showing my solid black tights or maybe my BLACK PINSTRIPE TIGHTS, A260031, and black gloves………………To go with the Gold Nugget buttons………..the GOLD NUGGET NECKLACE, J321805,  as shown above makes a bold statement, but is incredibly light in weight [there are very very few left]. The GOLD HAMMERED EARRING with the large RED CABOCHON STONE, J33719, which happens to be on clearance for the incredible price of $14.95, is perfection with the coat. As an alternative my BYZANTINE group will look splendid and very festive with this outfit………………….Is this not the perfect theater outfit, or how about a candle lite midnight mass on Christmas eve. All eyes will be on you!…………………………………………….enjoy……………………………much Love………………..Louis

……………………………The WINTER WHITE COAT is definitely extravagant, but whenever I see a woman in a white coat….that is well made…in a beautiful fabric….I think….WOW……… Donatella Versace was once asked, after presenting an all white collection, what do your clients do to clean the clothes? She looked at them askance and replied, “they don’t clean them….they throw them out”. Well, in the real world we don’t throw our clothes out….we wash them. All kidding aside even though the coat is washable….I personally would dry clean it. I think tailored garments, especially woven fabrics, last longer and look better when they are professionally dry cleaned and PRESSED……If you were lucky enough to get the Winter White WK TN it will match…..For that matter anything in Linea W. White will work with this coat. Perhaps you purchased the English rib jewel neck sweater in winter white, A279525? That would look fabulous worn over my BLACK WK TN, A72448, my BLACK LINEA BODY LEGGINGS, A260034…..some great black boots and this Winter White coat worn over all to finish the outfit. What a great way to look going to a Holiday party. Over a simple black dress with my WK black shawl, shown above, will make everyone look absolutely incredible……..simple and chic……..When your finished wearing the coat with all black and winter white….start adding COLOR, and come spring it will make a terrific spring coat over NAVY…………..Yes, Winter White may be extravagant but we all need a little extravagance in our lives!………………………………………………enjoy………………………much Love………………………….Louis
