“THE SEED BEAD CUFFS ARE COMING”

……………………………….Holey Moley……..it’s been a long time coming, but the SEED BEAD CUFFS, J354003, will be here this month!…………..At least that’s what I’m told!!…………………They will be avail. in AVERAGE, and LARGE sizes………Sorry my ladies with the tiny wrists…….I did try……….I’m just happy they got purchased, and if they are quick sell outs, which I think they should be, I’ll try again for small sizes…..if they get reordered!…………..The colors starting at the upper left……….RED/GOLD/GOLD……….The gold seed beads have a satin finish so there is a beautiful contrast with the high shine gold oblong beads. The Red seed beads are translucent glass beads so they have a nice twinkle….Heads up…..this color will go with many of the red Linea items you already own, spring/summer items still to come, but almost more importantly…fabulous Fall things coming in the future……..The NUDE PINK/SILVER/SILVER again, has satin finished silver seed beads with the high polished silver oblong beads, and the opaque nude pink seed beads. If you have ever seen Angel Coral they are this beautiful subtle pink. I have mentioned it before that on my many trips to Florence, Italy I walked over the Ponte Vecchio Bridge every day I was there. This is an ancient bridge which is lined on both sides with ancient little shops mostly selling jewelry. One of the shops near the beginning of the bridge specializes in Coral…..but magnificent Coral. They always devoted one complete window to Angel Coral. Necklaces, rings, bracelets, earring all made in Angel Coral. Some mixed with diamonds or platinum, or yellow gold and Angel Coral mixed with color gemstones…..GORGEOUS! Whatever the designers could think to mix the Angel Coral with was in the window……a visual feast. You see now why this particular color has always beguiled me. You will also notice that there are very slight variations in size of the seed beads which gives them character and the look of real…………….Next, the BLACK/GOLD/AMBER……….This has the look of TRIBAL….of Africa….of any ethnic jewelry where the makers rely on nature for the materials they create with…..The black seed beads are opaque and shiny, the gold oblongs are high polished, and the amber are translucent which gives the cuff its’ vitality……………Last but certainly not least….the BLUE/GOLD/SILVER. Again, the silver beads have the satin finish, the oblongs are shiny gold, and the blue seed beads are translucent…..catching the light and giving them life………..For all of the women who are always intrigued with the idea of mixing SILVER with GOLD, but aren’t sure how to do it…..with this cuff it’s done for you. You can wear a silver or gold earring and necklaces with confidence. Of course the MATCHING NECKLACE which is avail. NOW is perfection……You will not see anything like this anywhere!…..One word of advise……..Do not dither or hem and haw deciding what color you should get, because before you know the NECKLACES and CUFFS will be GONE. This I can assure you!…………….Exactly when the cuffs will be posted I have no idea. You eagle eyes usually let me know before I even find out!!!! LOL………………………..enjoy……………………much Love…………………………….Louis

“THE BLACK PEASANT TOP”

…………………………….What is the best alternative to Caneel Blue…..or Ivory?……………BLACK!…………….This is a timeless, season-less look. Wear it right now or for the winter Holidays. It can easily be dressed up with a short black skirt as my vintage Moss Crepe black pencil skirt, above, or wear it with the matching Boho Skirt, which can be very dressy or much more casual with espadrilles, wedges and sandals. Wear a glitter beaded Minaudiere or a straw tote for two completely different occasions……..Pair the black top with you print skirts. like your MIDI straight floral faux wrap, A302561, or your BLACK MULTI Floral BOHO, A287620 ……Black slim pants or white jeans, or walking shorts and Capri pants will all look marvelous.

“THE PORT FLORAL BOHO”

………………………….The FLORAL BOHO, A287620, has been posted for a while, so I thought it was about time you got to see what they actually looked like! Most of you know the skirt body and crinkle georgette fabric, but if you are new to Linea the Boho solid skirt is a garment I have been selling for 8 or 9 years, and more then 75,000 of them have been sold. The Floral Boho is one of the first prints done for this skirt in the same fabric just printed. This is a REORDER skirt. The first skirts were done in Black multi, Poppy Red multi and Bluebell multi………………….The PORT MULTI, above is a brand new color. Many of you know the Port color. It is a DEEP WINE, and it matches all of the Port sweaters I have done, and it will match all of the Port sweaters to come….hint…hint. Therefore you will be able to wear this Port skirt all SPRING/SUMMER and right through the FALL/WINTER……For the winter months just add some tights [PORT COMING], a Port WK sweater and Wine boots and you are set…..Maybe a PORT LEATHER jacket [coming] and you are complete, and looking marvelous!……Back to the present….I love the mix of the CARNATION PINK EMBROIDERED POPLIN WING COLLAR SHIRT, A304745 with the Port Floral. Of course there are many solid tops you can wear like the MELON MIST PEASANT BLOUSE, A306539. When I first showed this blouse I showed it with the Port Floral Boho…..check out the video of the blouse……..These skirts are the perfect for summer……light in weight and COOL, but you know that already…………………..enjoy………………….much Love…………………………..Louis
