Yearly Archives: 2018

…………………………The CARNIVAL necklaces are back in stock. They must have been able to order a few more than the wait list order they already had, but I can tell you the quantities are LOW, so do not hesitate if you want another color……………I know there are quite a few of you who said you got one color and wish you had ordered another. This is your opportunity. Don’t let it slip away again. It will take another year to get, and that’s IF it gets reordered again. To have an item back within the season it was presented is unheard of. The only reason this can even happen is the production time on jewelry is shorter then apparel…….see you tonight at 9PM , QVC2 for the BIG DEAL and other surprises!!!!…………..enjoy………………..much Love………………Louis

…………………………..A307191……………Is the “BIG DEAL” for June…………It is a MOSS CREPE……FIT & FLARE TOP. It has a V-neckline and 3/4 sleeves. The length for the xxs is approx. 27 1/2 inches. There is also a very slight high/low hem…..only about 1 inch to 1 1/2 inches. It’s hardly noticeable, but just makes the top a little more graceful as you turn, plus a little extra coverage. There are bust darts for shaping. There is also a horizontal seam from which the “peplum” hangs……..This seam is raised from the waist line, and for the xxs is approx. 14 1/2 inches down from the high point shoulder [the point where the shoulder and the neck meet]. I consider this a raised waist seam. Why do I think it looks better for this style seam to be raised? It is always a better proportion when the “skirt” part of the garment is longer than the bodice. It is more slenderizing. When the seam sits closer to the waist it can accentuate the hips and the tummy areas. With the raised seam the flare can start a little higher which allows the garment to glide over these areas. This is not an extremely fitted top, but if you would like a closer to the body fit that is an easy alteration. You have the two side seams plus a center back seam to work with…..The Moss Crepe is a season-less fabric. It may not be the garment you reach for when you are going to spend your day outside, and the temperatures are well over 85, but if most of your day will be spent in the air conditioning, from house to car, from car to work or car to store, then this top is ideal. Moss Crepe is also the best travel fabric. It washes easily and packs like a dream………Above, I have the BIG DEAL top with my Ponte Crop pant in the Linen color, A302601, which is avail RIGHT NOW in many sizes. I believe this crop pant may be reordered for next spring, but until the order is in that is only the “plan” for now………………I chose the NEW INCA NECKLACE and PADDLE EARRING SET, J354004, to accessorize the new top and I think it’s perfect. The color above is GOLD OX. The oxidation adds black to the piece so all of the details are accentuated. It also gives the piece an aged look…..like something you found in the Souk in Marrakesh…….Both sides of the hanging pendant are exactly the same, so if it should flip while you are wearing it it won’t matter. In the close up of the pendant you can see the amount of detail there is in this piece. Even the smaller inner triangle is detailed in a mini version of the larger triangle. The earring [pierced only] is made from one of the hanging “paddles” of the pendant. If you already own the matching INCA EARRING, J354070, it will match perfectly!………You should know…..this TRIANGLE INCA EARRING is BACK IN STOCK in all colors!!!!! It’s fabulous with the pendant, but more importantly it is a wonderful statement earring on its’ own. This set will be avail in the GOLD OX, SILVER OX and COPPER OX, so there will be a color to go with everything you own……………………………………………………………………

……………………….The…..ALABASTER….color has become a LINEA SIGNATURE COLOR. There are so many women who love how this very special shade of cream looks on them. It is always one of the “best sellers”. When the buyers asked if we could do this top in Alabaster I didn’t hesitate. It is such a marvelous color with ANY bottom color from the classic black [above in the slim pant, A265615], brown, navy and grey….to your more fashion colors of olive, wine, port, teal etc. It is also the perfect back ground for all of your Linea jewelry including the NEW INCA set or the Wood and Brass bead necklace and earring set above, J353996, which is now getting very limited. I have no plans to do more wood jewelry in the near future so now is the time to get the pieces if you want them………………………….enjoy……………much Love………… Louis

…………………..The color is called PINK…………..yes, but which PINK? I would say the colors in the photos are pretty accurate, especially on the left side of the collage. This is not a bright pink. It is more muted. It reminds me of the blush colors I see in the compacts……in the salon at QVC. It’s a good pink to transition into fall without feeling your wearing a summer bright color. It’s especially good for the ladies who live in the southern half of the country. When fall and winter come, but the weather remains warm, and you don’t want to wear your really summery colors anymore, because you would like to get into the spirit of the season. This is that color that works for ALL seasons………………The pant I chose is my INDIGO B.C. jean, A304733/A304732, which is the perfect weight for summer…..fall and right into early winter…………The INCA set is my accessory of choice!…………………enjoy……………..much Love…………………………..Louis

…………………….COCOA…………..is a new brown color. It is deeper than the PECAN. Notice how well it works with my new YOSEMITE necklace, J353999 for the 35 inch necklace [will be avail. in a shorter length]. That was no accident. I worked on the computer to create the perfect “wood” brown color. I think we did a pretty good job!……………All shades of brown have quietly become a “best seller”. I think that is because there aren’t many “brown” items around, you don’t own many if any brown tops, and women are discovering just how flattering it can be. It is also a wonderful back drop for many color accessories……turquoise, coral, jade, aquamarine, smoky topaz, citrine, peridot, lavender and violet…..just to name a few………Of course wearing the Cocoa with a paler bottom, like my Ivory Trouser pant, is ideal for the summer, but it also looks great with black, dark brown, navy and a dark charcoal grey……………………..enjoy……………………………much Love……………………………….Louis
