…………………………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

……………………WHO LOVES A BOHO SKIRT????? So so many of you. The record shows it. 65,000 solid boho skirts sold the last time I checked……..Tie Dye has made yet another resurgence, and I’m ready……..The tie dye boho was ahead of its’ time when I presented, but it’s not too late to get yours……………while they last………………….The perfect colorful summer skirt……..If you love your Boho there’s no reason not to enjoy the tie dyed version in their happy colors……………………..much Love…………………….Louis

…………………….The BLACK /MULTI COLOR EMBROIDERED TULLE SKIRT, A374708 is my new embroidered skirt for Spring/Summer. It is similar in construction to the Fall emb. tulle skirt in that it has two tiers, and it is lined in the same tricot knit. It is a pull-on, and the emb is on the same tulle……There are scattered FIELD FLOWERS on the body of the skirt, and it has a scallop edge to finish it nicely at the bottom. This skirt has an EXPOSED black elastic waist band as opposed to the fall skirt which had a tricot knit covered elastic band… I chose the exposed elastic black band because it makes it a little edgier and more sporty.. It is NOT as full or as long as the fall skirt. It is  shorter at 26 1/2 inches for the xxs…….Some of the colors of the emb. were chosen to go with the BIG DEAL jackets….like the buttercream, perfectly pink and Loden, and of course the black tulle looks great with the black faux suede…..You will find that many black tops you already own work perfectly with the skirt, such as your tanks, your crinkle georgette safari shirt,  your peasant top, and your new Black WK mock neck elbow sleeve sweater [all pictured above]…..to name a few will give you totally different looks and ways to wear the skirt…. However, don’t think you are limited to black tops. Wear your Buttercream, and your perfectly pink tops too. Then see what you already own that could work color wise……………The necklace was created to coordinate with the embroidery of the skirt, and I found the perfect colors. They are GLASS ROUND BEADS linked together with BLACK links to match the black tulle. When you wear it on a black top the links disappear and all you see are the beautiful glass beads…Some of the glass beads are transparent and some are luminescent with hints of gold as is the berry red bead, and all are very special………The necklace comes with a matching drop earring in the Berry Red….Some of the photos have the one necklace and some have two………Again, this necklace may have been created to go with the embroidered skirt, but you will find it works with so much more………I call the necklace “Coquette” because it’s flirty……like the skirt…….Why search and search for just the right necklace and earring to work with the new Field Flower tulle skirt when I have done all the work for you…..The search and discovery is all the fun in designing clothes and accessories…..I want to make your lives easier and for you to always be WONDERFUL!!!!!…………………………………enjoy………………….much Love…………………………..Louis
