Yearly Archives: 2019

………………………Jac and I had so much joy and satisfaction surrounding ourselves with things we loved….Beautiful things that made us happy. It wasn’t just the things themselves…..it was the memories they gave us………..As a designer, my wish is to surround you with beautiful things. I will never offer you things that I would consider mediocre………they must say something…..even the simplest things………Things that make you happy…..things that make you smile…………I think the ORGANIC BEAD NECKLACE and EARRING SET above is just that. It is unusual, unique and IMHO beautiful. It is the uniqueness that I love. I know you will never find anything like this in any other store or boutique…….For me, its’ rarity is just one of the things that make it beautiful………..Some of you already own last year’s BOLO necklace. This new version has the same beads and knotted with the same waxed rayon cords, and the fine chain some of the beads are strung with……It’s the CASCADE design that makes it totally different, and has a very different look on the body…….For Spring 2019, I have decided to not only use BLACK cords, but I wanted to introduce something NEW and FRESH…..WHITE CORDS. Since this season I am offering it in two colors, SILVER and RUSSIAN GOLD, the way to avoid confusion is to give the style number according to the cord color. Whether you order Gold or Silver with white cords the style number will be the same. You just need to indicate what metal color you want………J360767 is the style number for the WHITE CORD NECKLACES…….Again, I offer the necklace as a set with a drop metal earring with two organic beads on a lever back. The necklace is 18 inches with a three inch extender………..This season we will be offering the matching BRACELET, with the WHITE cords, J360769…..The bracelet measures approx. from the lobster claw to the first ring….8 Inches……to the last ring approx. 9 inches. When you are wearing it the beads may take up room so the length may be a little shorter when wearing. This bracelet should NOT BE TIGHT on the wrist. It should be able to move and fall gracefully over the hand……………….I know you will appreciate the unique quality and beauty of these new pieces…………………………….enjoy……………….much Love…………………………………..Louis

………………………………GOLD and WHITE looks very new as far as jewelry is concerned. Just think of all the white tops, Tee shirts, blouses and tunics, cotton shirts, and sweaters that these pieces will take to another level.. This necklace will MAKE THE OUTFIT, and all you have to do is put it on with a simple Lobster Claw and ring. Even the BACK KEEPERS holding the cords and chains are designed pieces with a hammered effect……The style number again goes by the white cord and gold, J360767 for the necklace set, and J360769 for the white cord and gold bracelet…………………….enjoy………………………much Love……………………Louis

………………………………….After all is said and done…..RUSSIAN GOLD with BLACK is my absolute favorite. The warmth and glow of the Russian Gold is very special and rich looking……I’m a Leo and I gravitate to the warmth of GOLD….For those of you who own the Bolo in Russian Gold and Black you may want to purchase the bracelet to finish the sweet…………………….The style number for the gold and silver bead necklace with BLACK CORDS is J360768, and for the bracelets with the black cords it is J360770…………………………..enjoy……………………….much Love……………………..Louis

…………………………………The fourth combination I am offering is SILVER with BLACK cords………Again, if you own last years Bolo in the silver with black cords you may want to get the bracelet to complete the set……………..Silver lovers rejoice…..this is a beauty!…………………enjoy………………..much Love…………………..Louis

………………………Some may call this a “jacket”…..I prefer to call it a “BLAZER”. When you refer to a garment as a Blazer you immediately visualize what it is……a “jacket” can be anything. I have always been known for my jackets, but BLAZERS are my special love………….The very first garment, from Anne Klein’s very first collection, that put Anne Klein on the map, was her Grey Flannel Blazer. It started the whole American Sportswear craze. So I am very protective of the blazers I produce….even at these unbelievably low prices………I always say a Blazer is all about the fabric, the fit and how it hangs from the shoulder………it can be a total failure if it’s not in a fabric that tailors well……This blazer is made in the same Ponte Knit as the A302601 crop pant which is a lighter weight than the Super Ponte….[so the crop will work with the blazer too as a whole different look in a pants suit]…there is lots of STRETCH!……The jacket is numerically sized. The size 4 is approx. 28 inches long. It has a three button front. You can certainly wear it all buttoned up for a very severe look….or just the TWO TOP BUTTONS or just the SINGLE TOP BUTTON………You can always tell if a blazer or any jacket is well balanced when you wear it completely open. If it still lays well from the shoulder down you know it’s well balanced…..All that said, it also depends on body proportions. Obviously the more proportioned you are the better it will “sit”. This has nothing to do with size…………..The color is Ivory, but it is more of an off white…….The blazer has a top yoke seam which creates a strong shoulder look combined with the shoulder pads and the cap filler. There are princess seams and body darts for a great shape……I would recommend ordering the same size you did in the other blazers, the Tuxedo and the classic blazer. Some of the other details are the PATCH POCKETS, the large FAUX PEARL BUTTONS, the KEYHOLE button holes seen on fine garments and the beautiful lining. There are no buttons on the sleeve so they are easily shortened…………..The BLAZER is A347451……….Many times when I do a blazer I am given a choice of a matching pant or a pencil skirt, but not this time. I will be offering a pant in the Ivory and Navy, A347452. It has a 30 inch inseam, and has a slim leg with a 5 1/2 LEG OPENING, so with this shape leg it should work for most women…..even my tall gals. There is a zip front with button waistband and an elastic back, but the fabric has tons of stretch anyway for total comfort. I truly believe you are going to instantly fall in love with this new Ponte pant. There are no petites being offered, sorry. There is also a pencil skirt in the Ivory, Navy and Black, A347449. The length of the pull-on skirt is 22 1/2 inches…[the waist band sits a little below the waist on most]. The bottoms are not see through at all so there is no need to line them….If you would like the three pieces they will be avail…….The bottoms will also be perfect separate pieces which I will be showing through out the entire spring summer season. I say this because so many of you missed out on the black pant that matched the tuxedo jacket. I don’t want that situation to repeat itself……Above, I have the new navy pant, the new elbow sleeve sapphire sweater, A347450 and the ivory pencil skirt …….I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, for me there is nothing more glamorous than a woman in a beautifully tailored blazer….and they haven’t been more in Fashion then they are right NOW!!……………………………………………..enjoy………………………much Love………………………..Louis
