…………………………Is this the ultimate chic and sophisticated way to dress! As Miranda Priestly would say, “that’s not a question!”……LIGHT KHAKI, with BLACK with the GUNMETAL LIQUID jewelry is subtly powerful!………The TRENCH jacket and the CARGO PANT make one heck of a pant suit, which are seen more and more on the runways. It’s a virtual explosion of variations of the jacket and pant…..either matching in color or contrasted. Just the Black WK shell and Lt. Khaki pant make a powerful impression…….Wear the Trench jacket over your LBD and a pair of pumps or high heel sandals such as the new Marc Fisher Hurarache strappy pump in the NATURAL SNAKE, A374327. A PONTE or WK pencil skirt and your WHITE WING COLLAR SHIRT will look sexy as heck with these new pumps……very Hollywood glam………Pair your white shirts the Lt. Khaki pant with your gunmetal or silver ox jewelry, and a pair of PEWTER metallic slip on flats such as the Charleston Shoe Company A413494….for pure comfort without sacrificing the glam quotient……or the Sam Edleman snake Moccasin, A368651…….All winning combinations……………………..

enjoy…………………much Love……………………….Louis

I don’t remember who asked for this belt, because they received a coat with a missing belt. IT IS READY TO SEND TO YOU. Sorry about the delay, but between Chinese New Year and this terrible virus in China many of the factories are just getting back to work after mandatory quarantines….so if you can reply and let me know where you want it sent. I will get it out to you. If memory serves you were in the process of moving…..but sorry I can’t remember who the you is?????LOL

Dear Shelia….ever since you asked me if I thought the Blue Leopard and the Vivid Blue emb skirt would look good together I have been intrigued. My work for the shows and hits coming up is finished and all of the samples and accessories are on their way to Jennifer. Now she takes over and i can relax!!!!!…………..I had the time to try your suggestion……..I loved it so much I had to take a picture of it to show you and anyone else who loves to mix it up. However, this is more than mixing it up! This is runway ready. I love the combination of the Leopard and the floral emb. The colors are perfect, and that is the reason they look like they were made to go together. The bottom of the skirt even looks a little jungly…. I liked it better tucked in and belted, here with a black patent belt. I have pics of both ways just so you can see. I layered it with the BLACK GLITTERATI necklaces, but I would have mixed the BLUE GLITTERATI if I had them! They are on the way to Jen. You and I both know there will be some purists who think it is strange to mix them, but we know it is SUPERB! If I get the chance I would even show it this way….even if the skirt is sold out!!!!

………………………..Jac loved her garden!…………She could hardly wait for winter to be over so she could go to the garden center and buy her flats of PANSIES….Jac was like a “kid in a candy store”…..She would only buy the ones with the “faces”………I would say to her “isn’t it a little early to plant pansies?” and she would say….”no, if they are selling them it’s OK to plant them”. Many a night we would have to bring the flats into our enclosed sun porch because there was a snow or worse, ice storm coming! She would always say, “snow won’t hurt them but ice will”. She was right…….The first of March she would ask Franco to please bring out the terracotta pots and saucers from the garage……fifteen of them in various shapes and sizes. She was like a little girl waiting anxiously to get her flowers planted. On the first sunny warmish day she would plant…..usually with the pups at her back, in her lap…..where ever they could squeeze themselves. They were a great help taking the empty containers away and hiding them in the yard………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

I have wanted to do a print commemorating Jac and her garden for the longest time……It has taken me two years working on it to get it just right. This was a labor of love, and I had to make sure all of her absolute favorites were represented………Her PANSIES…..Her DAFFODILS, and Her MORNING GLORIES……Of course she loved all flowers but these were her favorites. When the Pansies had reached the very end of their season, and we needed the pots and space for the summer mixed flowers…..I had to have Franco remove them when Jac wasn’t home. It was really to painful for her to see them ripped out of their little homes. We sometimes tried to save some, but it never really worked well……….Then the daffodils would start to come up and Jac was happy……..Next…..Jac would plant a wall of BLUE MORNING GLORIES and they would last until fall………I worked and worked on this print gathering pictures of all the flowers…..cutting them out and trying to create a layout…..When I basically got them to look the way I wanted I worked with a print designer to fine tune everything and put the print into repeat……Then I had to decide on colors…….ALL of the flowers are the same colors in each of the colorways…..only the background colors change………..There were two last touches I wanted in the print………..two things that Jac loved………..Butterflies………and Ladybugs………Jac was always thrilled to see them enjoying her garden……I created a signed square scarf to go with the shirt or to wear on its’ own…………………..My print for Jac was complete……………….I hope you love it as much as I do……..I’d like to think Jac is looking down at it with a big smile, and saying “I love it my Lou”……………
