……………….We are bringing back the Maasai  Group in a whole new coloration……..BLACK….WHITE……GREY & SILVER…the necklace….the earring and the coil bracelet….It looks so different from the original multi color Maasai  that you won’t think twice about owning both…..When you get it home and really examine it….then you can realize and appreciate just how complicated this necklace is……Then imagine the SKILLED workers who have to put them together by hand…..These are remarkable pieces. …………….It’s a great way to spice up your summer black and whites!…….P.S. I have retired the original color to keep it EXCLUSIVE, but there will be a new colorful surprise coming!……It is unlikely that I will have this new grouping in the Black  and White reordered so it too can become exclusive…..that is unless it sells out quickly, because the quantities are so limited to begin with. Even if I did reorder it one more time……..it would still be EXCLUSIVE!!!………………………..It will be avail this Feb!…………………………..enjoy…………………….much Love……………………….Louis

………………………The FIVE PACK of SHEER TROUSER SOCKS are here, A444186 is the style number. There will be TWO SHEER NUDE and THREE SHEER BLACK in each pack. They are the same silky denier as the sheer tights, and they have a comfort band at the top…….Again, these trouser sock are made with the same NO RUN technology as the sheer tights. If you puncture them and make a hole….the hole won’t run…….These are great to have all year round, and they are so comfortable…………………..enjoy…………..much Love……………………Louis

…………….By now I think it is well established that the OMBRE TUNIC, A263353, is an unequivocal hit. We are continuing with it, and two more new color combinations have been added…..However, I have been searching for a new Ombre print to do in the SAME FABRIC, and the SAME BODY ………and I think I have found just the right one……THE OMBRE LEOPARD PRINT, A374662….The difference is this new version has been changed from 3/4 sleeves to LONG SLEEVES!……Animal prints have been surging back. Two years ago when I said to the buyers I wanted to do animal and snake prints they looked at me like my head was in the clouds. “No” was the answer, “they aren’t happening now”….My answer was “you may not see them now, and that’s a good thing, but they will be roaring back, and it’s better to be ahead of the curve than behind it”……One has to have a 6th sense and vision to know when “is the right time” Thank the Lord I was blessed with this 6th sense. I think all good designers know when the right time is. ………The color above is called CARAMEL, but as you can see there are many shades of colors to create the ombre effect. At the very top there is a deep ivory with linen and taupe, and as you go down the body the alabaster, caramel, brown and black are introduced……With these colors a variety of bottoms colors can be used….starting at the left…..the CARAMEL Super Ponte pant…..the ALABASTER Super Ponte pant………the LINEN and BLACK crop Super Ponte pants all work perfectly, and those are just the ones I tried…..I am sure you have many pants hanging in your closets that will work just as well….like a pair of khakis or natural linen trousers…..Add your BLACK pencil skirts in WK or Super Ponte  for a dressier look……Likewise a variety of accessories can be used to change the look every time you wear it…..Again, starting at the left, the COWRIE SHELL necklace, the TAN GLITTERATI necklace and earring, the BUTTERCREAM SANTE FE necklace and earring, the BROWN TASSEL GRANDE necklace and lastly the BLACK GLITTERATI necklace and earring………and that’s just a start…….The CHOCOLATE GRECIAN necklace, earring and bracelet will look incredible too…..as will the CHOCOLATE & GOLD BISTRO MULT CHAIN necklace and earring, and the CHOCOLATE MOON GLOW necklace and earring for something a little dressier……The Black and Chocolate or the Black/Gold and Tortoise Chain Gang necklace will also add a strong punch to the Leopard top………..I am sure you will love this new version of the ombre Leopard top as you have with the original version, and I know you will enjoy all the different ways to wear and accessorize it…………The question will be which color……or colors to choose……..THIS TOP WILL BE FEATURED THIS COMING MONDAY, 2/24 on PM STYLE on QVC1……………….

enjoy……………….much Love…………………….Louis

…………………………Loden continues to be a major Linea color…….When I put a collection together the fabric selection and colors happen simultaneously. Then, I build coordinates around the colors. This way a woman can always have pieces that will easily work together. From that color I plan other colors that will compliment each other. Sometimes a few colors become pivotal colors in the collection [like alabaster], and work together extending the wardrobe even more. If you have been a long time Linea customer you know this to be true………In Loden and Olive alone you already may have wonderful coordinates like the Loden Trench coat A370421, the Loden Faux Suede jacket A374426, the Olive Leather jacket A297864, the Loden Crepe Gauze blazer A366195, and FIVE!!! different Loden pants including the new LODEN CROP SUPER PONTE PANT above, A302601.  The Loden Super Ponte long pant A268216, the Loden knit boot cut pant, A366190 [at a clearance price which is a very overlooked year round pant], and the Loden Faux Suede Pant A366199……that assortment should make anyone happy………Loden is easily mixed with your black, linen, khaki, alabaster, ivory and white bottoms……….By now I have offered you a wide rage of accessories that will look great with the Loden Leopard top……On the form above you have a very tonal effect with the PINEAPPLE pendant in Fern J479225……the Fern Spiral station necklace and earring J479227, and the Olive BERBER necklace J392832, at a ridiculously low price!……..They all layer beautifully together…….There are of course many more options like the new LODEN SANTE FE necklace and earring, J485358………….What I have listed is a COMPLETE Loden wardrobe in its’ self! I think my work in Loden is done?????LOL….but you know I’ll sneak something in here and there!……………………………….enjoy……………………much Love……………..Louis

………………..The BLUE colors of this Leopard Ombre top are so deep and rich, and vibrant that it looks like a Leopards’ reflection in a beautiful blue pool……………..NAVY, and WHITE would be my bottom colors of choice, but IMHO it looks wonderful with a WASHED jean color from med to light. Indigo color jeans can be tricky. You would think a dark color jean is a no brainer, but if the indigo is on the green side of blue they don’t look good together. That is the reason I prefer navy. You have many choices in a navy bottom from the classic Super Ponte pant, to the slim A265615 pant, and the Super Ponte crop, A302601, shown above…..even the navy jean cut pant is perfect……If you own it you know what I mean……The SUPER PONTE NAVY PENCIL SKIRT, A347449 would be a terrific alternative for dressier occasions, and it’s avail in most sizes….a spring summer must have!……………Finding beautiful BLUE jewelry isn’t as easy as you may think…..but……the BLUE BERBER is perfect. At the moment it is sold out, but for those who do own it know you have another wonderful top that it will go with……Combined with the Berber above is the COBALT GLITTERATI FACETED GLASS BEAD NECKLACE, J482966. You couldn’t ask for a more perfect necklace with this top than the Cobalt Glitterati! If you want something to layer with the Glitterati I recommend the SILVER OX INCENSE URN necklace J481069. They look fabulous together and the Urn adds that bit of Silver Ox metal that looks so good…..Other necklaces you may already own that work perfectly are the BLUE POMPEII necklace and earring set J352559, and the BLUE VENETIAN necklace and earring set J390581……These are all great option to change the look every time you wear the top………..If you are a BLUE LOVER than this is the top for you……………….enjoy……………..much Love………………Louis
