Just wanted you to know the SIZE 2 is already sold out in the Sapphire and Espresso Shantung jackets. I have a feeling they are going quickly even without pictures……I guess the fact that there are 33 reviews and 30 of them are 5 STAR doesn’t hurt to build confidence to buy sight unseen. Glad I posted my sneak peeks to help make decisions……..enjoy……………much Love………..Louis
…………………Sarah had asked how I thought the BISTRO NECKLACE & EARRING SET, J482462 would look with the new Leopard Ombre tops, so I tried them and I thought they looked great together. The SILVER TONE mixed with the GUNMETAL looks perfect with the Blue Leopard. The CHOCOLATE with the GOLD TONE blends beautifully with the Caramel Leopard. I think the mix of chain gives the print a modern edgy look…………….very new………….very fresh…………………..enjoy………………much Love……………..Louis
……………..You knew exactly what this SAPPHIRE would look like even before you you saw the picture!…………..At least you hoped it would look like this…..that’s why you have already bought it sight unseen!………What you couldn’t imagine without seeing it IN PERSON is just how rich it looks……….This SHANTUNG fabric is like no other. It takes color like no other, and then it makes the colors and fabric LUMINESCENT!….This is the exact same jacket as the LIME, TURQUOISE and INDIA PINK so if you own any one of them or all of them you know what to expect. It has a slimming shape due to the seaming, and inseam pockets in this unlined SHIRT/JACKET [it can be worn both ways!]. It has the same removable shoulder pads and the 3/4 sleeve with the turn back cuff……ATTENTION! When I received my samples they needed steaming to get the packing folds out. They all came out, but sometimes the steam makes the stitches [especially at pockets and hem] look like they are puckering……If this happens just iron those areas…..IT takes longer for the iron to heat up then the pressing. I also like to press the cuffs up so they are nice and crisp….leaving approx. 1/4 inch of fabric under the fold. I did this with my three jacket and they look perfect. Again, these are all washable…..but I would dry clean them for that perfect PRESS…..that’s just me….For those of you who weren’t afraid of a color pant, and were able to get your size in the SAPPHIRE SLIM PANT….you have for yourselves one SPECTACULAR outfit!!!!! For the daring among you imagine how wonderful this jacket will look with many different color bottoms………Just wear it with white pants this summer and pick a color to wear under it…….For those of you who have the FIESTA WK sweaters in all of the fabulous brights….they will all look fantastic under Sapphire…..just pick a fabulous necklace to pull it together…..For those of you who missed out there still may be a few fabulous colors left in the A307363 v-neck tank with the rib bottom. Actually, that is the IVORY TANK above…….I have an image of a Red tank and Kelly green pants and the MULTI CLUSTER STONE & PEARL NECKLACE all worn with the Sapphire jacket!….Yellow and Turquoise, ORCHID with VIOLET, Fuchsia with Magenta. WOW, for those of you who aren’t afraid to mix colors you can create some unbelievable combinations all worn with the sapphire….Then, again, choose a necklace that pulls it all together……After you are finished playing with all of the possible solid color bottoms and tops…..that should take quite a while…..start looking at the prints. Above, the CATHEDRAL prints in BLUE and FUCHSIA…..and the BLUE LEOPARD! If you haven’t come up with at least EIGHT outfits you haven’t played enough, or your closet is seriously lacking color……..Now that’s not to say my neutral gals can’t play too. It’s just a different mind set. Again, pull out your neutral colors and start layering….Dark Olive, Walnut, Charcoal, Navy, Ivory, light tan [as the new Cargo pant], and Black are just the tip of the iceberg……………….SAPPHIRE IS A YEAR ROUND COLOR, as many of you who already own it in various styles know. What a fabulous 4th of July jacket this will make as well as a Holiday favorite…………………………enjoy……………………..much Love………………………….Louis
……………………There is no way any photos are going to show the depth, richness and luster of the ESPRESSO SHANTUNG. The photos at the upper left and extreme right are the best for color. Espresso is so deep it becomes a neutral. I didn’t take any pictures of the espresso with different colors [I was in a rush to get these out to you], but pick a color…..AQUA, CORAL, TURQUOISE, LIME, FUCHSIA, HOT PINK, MINT, PINK, PALE BLUE etc etc etc, and wear them under the Espresso jacket. Ivory or linen or light tan bottoms will work with all of them……I also love the Linea Navy with espresso just to change it up, and espresso with black is always chic [as the chocolate and black link short necklace third photo in from the right]…..To CHANGE IT UP you should have a variety of necklaces so every time you wear this jacket it will look fresh and new……..I have 4 different necklaces above, but could have gone on and on. …..Yes, here is a new DOUBLE LAYER ESPRESSO pant in the photos at the extreme left…. for those of you with an eagle eye!……………….Ladies if you like your ESPRESSO with a chaser of DARK CHOCOLATE………………..this is the jacket for you!………………………enjoy……………..much Love……………Louis
……………………..IVORY JACKETS ARE THE BACKBONE OF A SUMMER WARDROBE, but they are equally important all year long!………..What makes the Ivory Shantung so special?? The LUMINESCENCE of the fabric……..It looks like a PEARL……..There are so many ways to wear an ivory jacket that I don’t feel it’s necessary to give a list you already know…..so….I am showing it over basic BLACK…..What I did what to show you is how wonderful this Ivory jacket looks over both the Latte and Vivid Blue emb skirts……….both with black tanks and coordinating necklaces. BTW, I love the Chocolate Moon glow with the Latte emb skirt and the ivory jacket. How fabulous will this jacket look over skinny black ankle pants……very Audrey………………………………………..
enjoy……………………….much Love………………………………….Louis
