………………………As the Holiday seasons approach I thought a new piece to to dress up the festivities would be a nice present………I haven’t done a true Holiday piece in some time, and I convinced the buyers it was over time to offer one……I hope you like it…………..This new “Swing Shirt/Jacket” is made in a brand new fabric that I am very excited about…….It is a “STRETCH” SHANTUNG, and it LOOKS and FEELS like SILK….The fabric has the characteristic “slubs” as a real shantung fabric would……It has it’s luminous quality that sets this fabric apart….IT GLOWS……….You will see how beautiful the fabric looks when you wear it out in the evening to all your Holiday events…..Evening light does its’ magic!………The sizing is XXS though 3X. The jacket is approx 32 inches long for the XS……It is unlined so the weight is perfect to wear with nothing under it…….The WING COLLAR frames the face beautifully. It has diagonal seams, front and back,  from the shoulder down to the hem…..following the sweep of the body. There are inseam pockets. The back has beautiful drapes as you can see in the upper photo to the left. These drapes are called “CONES”………This piece is totally un-constructed…..no lining, and no shoulder pads……The buttons are covered in the Shantung fabric so there are no distractions from your accessories……..The color is…………………….SCARLET RED……………..I have chosen the Scarlet Red WK tunic tank, A287609, and the Scarlet Red WK skirt, A253411…….for that “Lady in Red” look, however, you can mix it with whatever colors you like……..Now, you may be thinking Christmas when you look at this jacket…..but change gears and picture it with a white tank and navy pants for the 4th of July……………It is definitely light enough to wear all year long!………….To accessorize I mixed the Gold Etruscan necklace with the new RED and GOLD seed bead necklace coming this MAY………This shirt/jacket will be on air this coming Friday, November 3rd, on the Morning Show which starts at 7:00am……Also, on that show I will be presenting the new SUPER PONTE SLIM PANT, A297868. It will also come in petites……ALL the info to come……………………………..Happy Holidays!……………………..enjoy…………………………..much Love……………………………..Louis

………………..ALABASTER and Faux SILK SHANTUNG were meant to go together……………….It is so CHIC……..and a blond’s delight…..Of course it will look equally great on brunettes, and redheads………….Mix it with your BLACK separates and you have one full proof ensemble………Above, I have paired the Alabaster jacket with the BLACK WK TANK TUNIC, A287609, returning this coming Feb. For the bottom the brand new SLIM SUPER PONTE PANT, A297868……………….The jacket is……A297866…………….I accessorized with pieces you may already own….if not they are returning next year………..The AZTEC necklaces in Black and Gold, and Alabaster and Gold……..The Black and Gunmetal Seen Bead necklace isn’t returning but there is a new one just as fabulous to take its’ place………………This is definitely a season-less look, and if you add a top and bottom in Alabaster you have one sensational column of color……………………………………………….

…………………………….BLACK SHANTUNG……………how sophisticated is that!…………..This topper makes a wonderful SHIRT…..and though it is a woven it has wonderful stretch. As you know…one of my favorite combinations is Black with Alabaster, as shown above with the Slim Alabaster Ponte Pant, A265615…….To accessorize….the Aztec necklaces with the NEW SEED BEAD NECKLACE in BLACK/GOLD/AMBER…..It is a wonderfully African color combination……….This is an outfit that would be perfect for any occasion….any time of year……………………………………………………….

Please check my “Important Dates” as there have been some Nov. additions….There will be new items!

……..This is the last Sneak Peek for October and it’s a BEAUTY………………..The BLACK LEATHER/KNIT jacket will be on the Morning Show on Oct. 21st. It starts at 7:00am, but I don’t know what time I will be on the show. When it gets closer to the date I will have more info……………..Now, about the jacket………………It is LAMB LEATHER so it is very SOFT and pliable…a beautiful quality…….What it is not….is a MOTO jacket. The jacket has a crew neckline which is created by a separate band band of leather……The jacket has a TWO WAY ZIP with  Linea inscribed zipper pulls….I would suggest, right out of the package, you rub a bar of Ivory soap on the zipper teeth to avoid any sticking. The front of the jacket has FOUR body seams for shaping, and all are top stitched to emphasize the line. It is approx 25 inches long for the size 6. It is numerically sized…..There are pocket flaps that are slanted downward to elongate. They have working snaps to give the illusion of real pockets, but they are ornamental. The REAL POCKETS are hidden in the seam………..The jacket has KNIT SLEEVES and a complete KNIT BACK……This makes for total COMFORT! You can reach, stretch, do what ever you need to do in total comfort. What makes the back interesting is the Lamb leather stripe that’s like a PUNCTUATION MARK……..Remember, it’s just as important to look good going as it is coming. The contrast between the leather and the knit gives the jacket EYE INTEREST. The front of the jacket is lined, but the back and the sleeves are not so there is total stretch and comfort……There are small shoulder pads covered in the lining to give you a good line……I have the jacket over the new BLACK WK DRESS, A297856, and that makes for a really WOW outfit.., but you can wear it over everything and anything…..try it with the BLACK FLORAL PRINT shirt, your bright beads, and a short skirt. It’s OK for the shirt to hang below the jacket…..It’s a wonderful and unexpected way to add color!……………………….enjoy………………….much Love……………………..Louis
