……………………J353466………………is the style number of the PETAL NECKLACE and EARRING set……………and it is MAGNIFICENT!…….It is made out of copper coated resin petals so it is INCREDIBLY LIGHT in WEIGHT……….When I presented it to the buyers they were expecting a necklace with some considerable weight since it is 60 inches long with a 3 inch extender. I told them to hold out their hands palms up and put one in each of their hands. Their jaws dropped……..They couldn’t believe how light they were….almost weightless……Likewise, the earring is like wearing nothing. It is truly surprising considering how much presence they have……..Each individual petal is put onto the chain one by one. There is an enormous amount of labor to this piece for an unbelievably reasonable price………You can wear it single, doubled, tripled and for some of you quadrupled as in the photo to the center extreme left…..What a STATEMENT! The earring has multi metals, and is for me, the perfect length. However, if you must, since the chain is made up of large rings it is easily shortened………………The color above is my……RUSSIAN GOLD…..to QVC…..Goldtone……………Like most of my jewelry these pieces have no season or time of day. They look just as great on a summer Tee as they will on a maxi velvet dress for the Holidays…..The Petal necklace set is due this month…………This is one you are going to want in all of the colors, and you wouldn’t be wrong!…………………….enjoy………………….much Love……………………..Louis

…………………….CHOCOLATE, CHOCOLATE and more CHOCOLATE……..If you haven’t tried this color yet this would be the perfect place to start. There are so many things the Chocolate will work with that I consider it a MUST HAVE!……………….There are two cuffs that will work perfectly with this Petal set…………….The CRISS CROSS CUFF which is sold out, but you may already own it, or the wide multi faceted metal wire cuff, J335214, which is avail in the Chocolate as above………On Black it gives Black new life, but there are so many things you will discover putting the Chocolate with. Many things you already own, and there are many more new things to come!…………………………..enjoy…………………much Love…………………….Louis.

………………….I am a GOLD person, a LEO a SUN Sign, but even I must say this Petal Necklace and Earring in Silver is just too COOL, and so MODERN. It just commands attention! If you are a Silver person, then there is nothing to discuss. You must have this……If you own very little in silver then this is the piece to add to your small collection. It simply works with everything. It is so versatile with all the different ways you can wear it, that there really is very little you can’t wear it with. This is quickly going to become one of your favorite pieces coming this March……Be warned, there are not many pieces in each color so don’t hesitate too long or it will be gone…..like the Scythe necklace……………….enjoy……………..much Love………………..Louis

…………………….During Jac and my many years of traveling around the world, we both agreed that some of the most beautiful flowers we had ever seen were the WILD FLOWERS just growing along the road or in fields………There was just something so majestic, and yes even courageous about these little beauties that flourished and survived it all without any nurturing from anyone. The variety was also awe inspiring……Jac would never pick any of them. She sort of felt it was sacrilegious to kill something that God and nature created. These were brave and strong little things that deserved to show off their beauty for anyone who could see them! Actually, Jac never picked or cut any of the flowers we grew at home……She just couldn’t do it, and really didn’t like it when I cut them either….even though it was a cutting garden………I had to always explain the Zinnias were called “Cut and Come Again”…….She liked our garden to look a little wild………..So the next time you are driving, and see some wild flowers along your travels, give them some time and admire their beauty………..The WILD FLOWER print above was inspired and dedicated to all of those beautiful flowers we had seen along the way on our journeys and adventures………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

……………………………The wild flower blouse, A302603, is made from a NEW GEORGETTE. If I were to compare it to any fabric I have used….I would say it’s very similar in weight and flow to the new Tiger Lily print elongated shirt fabric. This fabric is smoother and not as textured, but it is VERY LIGHT WEIGHT, and not see through at all. It drapes beautifully, and that is exactly the kind of fabric you need to create this type of blouse…….They are both 97% poly and 3% spandex…………Pay close attention to my sketch at the lower left, and you can see all of the details…..From the top….the bra friendly shoulder straps are a little narrower at the top, and get slightly wider where that attach to the body of the blouse…….The neckline and armhole are beautifully piped in self fabric…..This is actually the first “Cool Shoulder” I have done. Since there have been so many, I felt mine had to be special, AND NOT JUST ANOTHER….IT HAD TO BE UNIQUE. The body of the blouse is basically straight and A’s out slightly. The top ruffle starts at the point where the inside of the shoulder strap  attaches to the blouse and then continues and becomes the top part of the sleeve. The next two layers of ruffles are full sleeves, meaning both layers go up to the armhole. They end at a 3/4 length….This blouse will be sized from XXS to 3X……If I had to describe this blouse I would say it was “delightfully flirty”. This blouse can take on many personas depending on what you combine it with. With the new Sangria gauze pant or the new Black Ponte crop pant it takes on a more tailored look……With a boho….or….the MATCHING HIGH/LOW RUFFLE HEM SKIRT, A302604 [shown at the upper left], it becomes the epitome of femininity………with a South of the Border sensibility…..dare I say SALSA!…..This is all about SUMMER FUN……………Now, I am well aware that this is not for everyone. Not everything can be or should be…….This is for those women who absolutely love flirty fun clothes. Clothes you want to go out in, and take away on VACATIONS……Clothes you’ll have fun dancing in!…………As for accessories….you can really pile it on. The top and print can take it. I have used the PETAL necklace and earring set….J353466, in the gold with the new Beach Glass necklace, J352731, in Pineapple [yellow]…..the new Grass Green Beach Glass set also looks great with this print…..If you immediately think, “this I can pass”, maybe you ought to step out of the box and try something that isn’t you. You may discover a side of yourself that you didn’t know existed……..Discovering, and Experiencing new  things can be Wonderful and Liberating…………………………………………………….enjoy………………….much Love……………………….Louis

………………………….In the WILD FLOWER GEORGETTE print I have also done a FLIRTY SKIRT, A302604. It too will be sized XXS to 3X. It is a LINED pull-on. I actually didn’t think it needed to be lined , but the buyers insisted. It’s lined in the tricot knit so you don’t even feel it and it’s stretch. As you can clearly see in the sketch, there are THREE ROWS of TIERS. They start higher at the center front and descend to the back creating the High/Low effect. There is a flat space between the top ruffle and the second ruffle. The third bottom ruffle starts just under the second ruffle. This is a skirt that moves when you walk. This is a skirt you will want to twirl and dance in. The top of the pull-on skirt is slim. All of the ACTION is at the bottom. The skirt is approx. 27 inches in the front and 33 inches in the back………Wear it with the matching blouse for a wonderful two piece dress look or wear it with the new tank, A302609, in BLACK, CANDY APPLE [both shown above] or the new Robins EGG blue…..they all work. For those of you who own the Mardi Gras or Bright combo in the Faceted Glass bead necklaces….they are perfection with this Wild Flower print in the Black multi combination……The CONFETTI necklace and earring set plus the bracelet will also look great on one of the tanks with the skirt…. For my petite ladies….depending on your height…it may be a great maxi. If it is still too long. the bottom ruffle can be shortened, or made the same length as the second tier ruffle……still maintaining the look of the skirt!………….This is a fun skirt to wear with summer sandals, wedges, and espadrilles. For a dressier look a wonderful strappy heel………This may be the look of the moment, but femininity is never out of style…………………………….

enjoy……………………..much Love……………….Louis
