………………………For me SUMMER IS ABOUT COLOR! Colors that you might not wear in the fall or winter when the light changes, and the days are shorter…..but……in the summer, when the sun is strong and the light is bright, stronger colors look great. This is definitely the most colorful combination of the three, but by no means is this garish. I have read how surprised the women who have purchased it are when they see it. They are so pleased with the softness of the colors……For me these colors bring back wonderful memories of the many times Jac and I spent in the Caribbean. There are so many colors you can wear with the Tropical top if you have them….but Black and White don’t compete, and are perfect backdrops for the SAMBURU NECKLACES, EARRING and BRACELET…..ALL of which have been reordered and are coming back!……This is a very joyous festive color combination…..Order a fun cocktail with an umbrella and enjoy……..

much Love…………………….Louis

……………..You all know I am inspired by foreign cultures…..The craftsmanship and artisanship these different people have created around the globe over the centuries is true and honest. The technique of “wood block” design is one of the oldest methods of printing…Today we can reproduce the look of real wood block printing through the artisanship of master screen makers. The PLACEMENT ENGINEERED print has the look of patchwork utilizing four different patterns including the paisley border, and a streak of Turquoise to separate them….This print and border is the type often seen in INDIA….The color above is a clear BLUE with accents of TURQUOISE and WHITE….The 94% RAYON and 6% SPANDEX tunic is approx. 29 inches long for the XXS. The sleeves are 3/4 length and also have the paisley border….The V-neck is piped in the print…..There are very generous side slits so you don’t have to hike the garment up to get your hands into your pant pockets…This jersey has a nice weight to it and doesn’t feel flimsy or clingy as others do. Of course when you take it out of the plastic bag there may be some static which often happens, but that can easily be taken care of…..Jac used to apply moisturizer to her legs to avoid any clinging…..a model’s trick………..The combination of the print, inspired by India, and the ELEPHANT PENDANT with TURQUOISE TABLETS, J488259, are truly perfectly paired together. The Elephant has decorative markings that can often be seen on Elephants during special ceremonies in India….Adding the TURQUOISE TABLET necklace and earring, J488255, isn’t necessary, but it looks so FABULOUS together….It’s also a fabulous separate necklace to be worn on its’ own or with other pieces you may have….like American Indian jewelry. The tablets are made from reconstituted Turquoise…..For those of you, like me, who have to take the extra step to make it even more wonderful….add the GLITTERATI TURQUOISE necklace, J482966! The glittering turquoise glass beads mixed with grey are just magnificent on the print and with the other jewelry pieces…..The style number is A379986…….I know you will enjoy this colorful top……………enjoy…………much Love……………………Louis

…………..If you have ever traveled to India, or have just seen pictures of India, one of the things you are immediately struck by is the beautiful COLOR OF INDIA……Warmer climates tend to use brighter colors, and combine them with great imagination. Women of India are not shy about wearing vivid colors, and are taught at a very young age how to combine and wear these colors. It becomes second nature….RED mixed with HOT PINK is often seen in Saris, sometimes shot with metallic threads. The red of the print is neither orange nor blue, but a clear beautiful color that balances well with the hot pink. The RED or the WHITE NUGGET JEWELRY looks fabulous with this top as well as the IVORY ELEPHANT and IVORY TABLET pieces……There are many pieces of Linea jewelry that will “play” well with the print….I’ve paired it with the off white fluid beach pant for a very cool relaxed look. A351462 and A351460 are the style numbers for the reg. and petite lengths… If you own the slim red pant they too would look fabulous with the top for a completely different look! A Red strappy sandal would look wonderful!……………enjoy………………..much Love……………………….Louis
