…………………….I would say the title says it all……..With 25 reviews, and a 4.9 rating, I think it is fair to say that this long cardigan/sweater coat has been a success. That is why I feel it deserves “another look”. The Charcoal Grey, as you can see is very limited. Since I took these pictures even more sizes have become avail. For those of you who missed out, your size may now be avail. Most of the sizes offered in the other colors are still avail. This is a quality garment, and the yarn has proven itself with the success of the previous styles from last year….the V-neck being a reorder. It is reasonably priced for a garment of this size, length and details, the 2 way zip being only one of them. I think this would make an impressive gift for anyone of any age…………………………………………

…………………”ABSOLUTE ESSENTIAL”, was just one of the many 5 STAR reviews that this Linea WK ENR Classic sweater has received in the short time that many of you have gotten it….”MY PRAYERS WERE ANSWERED”, is another that I loved, because this sweater is the result of many requests made by YOU!….”THE PERFECT SWEATER” sums it up. These are the types of sweaters you all want and can never find, and when you do find one, mostly in catalogs, when you receive them they are never quite right. How could this go wrong? It’s made in the Whisper Knit in the Every Needle Rib, and it has a classic long sleeve, jewel neck body [slightly more open then a crew neck]. A perfect combination….The Winter White, Scarlet Red, Espresso, and Black are all Linea Essential colors and will, at some point, be repeated in the future…..This is what a “classic” sweater is all about….A timeless garment that can be worn for any occasion, anywhere, any time of day or season…….The perfect stand alone or layering piece. Under jackets of all fabrics, under the PONCHO…..which can be worn with jeans as well as a SEQUIN skirt. This will become a work horse for you….I have read some of you have already bought doubles….A wise move because you never know if something will be reordered or not…….The fit is easy with a slight shape to keep it from looking boxy. For me the length is perfect. I know some of you taller  women were fearful that it would be too short. You tried it anyway, and have found your fears were unwarranted…..The length worked perfectly for you TOO……This is a garment that can take the simplest accessories or be piled with many accessories for a dramatic effect…..Some have inquired if this WK is heavier then my usual WK. The answer is I only use two qualities of WK……the original weight, which this is, or the med. weight [a little lighter], which the V-neck cardigan is……So, the answer is no….this is like every other WK sweater. That said, sometimes a dark deep color like black, or espresso, or a color that needs a lot of dye like Scarlet Red, can feel heavier due to the absorption of the dye, but the difference in feel should be minimal………For someone special who you have to get two presents for….this sweater and a piece of Linea Jewelry would be ideal…..On its’ own it’s a jewel of a present! I think this classic WK sweater is definitely worth giving it “another look”………………………………………….Happy Holidays……………………….much Love………………Louis

…………….I though since I will not have any new sneak peeks until mid January, it would be fun to “take another look” at some of, IMHO, the seasons best. I am starting with the Whisper Knit Every Needle Rib PONCHO. This has all 5 STAR REVIEWS!…..”The Fabulous Poncho”, “Everyday Luxury”, and “Linea’s Perfect Poncho” are just some of them…………I must say I have never seen Nancy look more CHIC, more Sophisticated, and more comfortable in what she was wearing……and she thought so too. The hair, the makeup and the clothes were all perfect for her. She is not a tall women and does not have a large frame, but she wore the poncho with elan and elegance. One of the reasons this poncho WORKS for women is due to the fact the poncho comes to about the elbow, depending on the length of your arms……..Why does this make a difference? The reason is simple….it is much less fabric to carry then if the poncho came doen to the hands, which makes it very wearable and does not feel overwhelming. The only measurement you need to look at is the length….forget the size, because there really is no size. Any of the cross body measurement will still keep the “sleeve” length approx. at the elbow or just below. It is the length you really should decide on. I think this is the first poncho I have done for QVC, and I thought it would be ideal in the Whisper Knit. I also think it would be an ideal Holiday present, because there is no size to worry about…..Layer with a TN, a shirt, a jewel neck sweater or just a matching WK tank…..leggings, pants, a skirt or your favorite jeans and you are ready to go………..I think this is definitely something to “take another look” at………………………….Happy Holidays………………….much Love……………………….Louis

…………………Many of you may own this SEQUIN V-NECK TOP, A238537, already. I was browsing the Linea site and my eye stopped on this top….knowing some have asked if any new Holiday tops were coming. The answer to that was no….they keep passing over my sketches. I guess they feel they have that category covered with other vendors???? That aside, I thought I should bring this top to your attention. As you can see…it’s on CLEARANCE, but it’s also very limited…..so I think you should give it “another Look”. I have been told the red works well with the new Scarlet Red. Maybe those who own both and confirm this…………………….Happy Holidays ALL

………………………Talk about ESSENTIALS! My new EVERY NEEDLE RIB LONG SLEEVE JEWEL NECK SWEATER is a MUST HAVE……….A285546, is the style number and BLACK is the color above. You know Jac’s eyes almost bulged out of her head when she saw this little beauty. Why? because this is what she LIVES IN. Give the woman a simple black sweater, sometimes not so simple like any of the swing sweaters, and she’s a happy camper. If you should ever see us out and about in NYC….9 times out of 10 Jac will be in all black. Though I must say lately she has been branching out, and sometimes she does surprise me with a color, but that’s once in a blue moon! ……This is a classic sweater with an easy fit. By now I think those of you who own WK sweaters know your size. If you normally size down then keep to that formula. If you are between sizes, size down because it’s very stretchy. Above, are two BIG CITY LOOKS…..the sweater worn tucked in and belted with the BLACK MOSS CREPE GAUCHO PANT, A273865, on the left, and the BLACK CREPE GAUZE LONG PANT, A276294, on the right, are two fabulous ways to look…very sophisticated….very CHIC!……..To accessorize….my favorite……..GOLD…….The RIBBON NECKLACE, J331643, for a more subdued look, or full out glamour with two of the GRADUATED METAL BEAD necklaces, J296893 This necklace is VERY limited and now only avail in the Russian Gold and the Satin Silver. Yes, it is a throw back to the 80s, but the 80s are coming back! A pair of tights with the gauchos and a Fabulous SUEDE BLACK BOOT is a million $$$ look. With the long gauze pant the new LACE KNEE HIGHS, A283073,  is fabulous!……….I know Jac will just grab the sweater and wear it with her jeans and off she will go! A very happy camper indeed………This is one of the last new pieces for the Fall 2016 season…..a classic yes…..exciting? That depends on your perspective. For me, a garment doesn’t need frou and geegaws to make it exciting……..A beautifully executed classic does it for me…………………………enjoy………………much Love…………………………Louis
