……………………..The look of a chintz or antique wall paper print was the inspiration for this lovely floral. It had a nostalgic look of lazy afternoons from days gone by. A more comfortable airy skirt you couldn’t wish for!
………..Morning all……….Cathy and I were discussing other outlets for the jewelry line. The possibilities are very limited, but the idea of “JTV” came up. She suggested that the “Linea Ladies”start a write in campaign to JTV asking to bring the “Louis Dell’Olio” jewelry to their station. It would probably have to go under just my name to avoid any conflicts. I would suggest, if you have any interest in doing this you should simply state you are Louis Dell’Olio jewelry customer, and since the line is no longer carried by QVC you would very much love to have “JTV” carry the line so you have a place to buy it. I think if you gave your own personal reasons why you want the jewelry that would be a good idea. Please DO NOT re-post this on any QVC site or forums for obvious reasons……The address is…………………………………………………..

……………………….Three additional pieces for April were the SHANTUNG SAFARI DRESS and the MOROCCAN TILE PRINT BLOUSE & SKIRT………The dress came in a Moss color and Khaki The sheen of the fabric really brought life to these colors………The Moroccan tile print on the crinkle georgette came in an Espresso combination and a Turquoise combination…….Jac and I had traveled to Morocco, one of our favorite places. I was inspired by EVERYTHING I saw, and I took many many pictures of the tile patterns on all the buildings I saw.
……………………This was a fabulous new jacket in a “dressier” denim fabric. It wasn’t as casual as your normal heavier denims, but it couldn’t be mistaken for anything but denim. It came in Indigo, White and Black. The buttons were the new Linea signature button. What made this classic denim blazer super special was the three working buttons on the sleeves that could be turned back to create a cuff. You rarely saw working buttons on sleeves anymore except for very expensive designer jackets…….The true surprise was the PEPLUM in the back. There were many seams to give the jacket a sculptured shape…….The true surprise was the PEPLUM in the back….not too much shirring, but enough to give the effect I wanted……..There was also a BOOT CUT denim pant to match in all three colors.
…………….OOPS! I posted April before March so I’m doing a little back tracking here!!………March had some wonderful new pieces. Starting at the bottom left was a fabulous DENIM JACKET with SIGNATURE LINEA BUTTONS….The fabric was more of a dressy denim than a casual one…The jacket had SIX top stitched seams in the front for shaping, and five seams in the back. It had inseam band pockets and a three button front. The sleeves had three working buttons that could be turned back into cuffs. The back had a RUFFLED PEPLUM which was the STATEMENT of the jacket, besides all of the other details that would have been statement enough…..A boot cut zip front denim pant coordinated with the jacket. Both pieces came in Indigo, White and Black………….The poly jersey Pucci type patch work print had tonal coloring. It had a V-neck and 3/4 sleeves. It came in Yellow, Blue and Pink….These tops were perfect for traveling…..The georgette print tunic had circular ruffles set into curved seams at the bottom of the top and the bottom of the sleeve. The print was a type of distressed tropical abstract floral print. It came in Green, Terracotta and Black………….The sweater was in a rayon yarn that I used for the sweater that had the stripes going from one sleeve across the body and down the other sleeve. This had a novelty stripe. The stripes over the lower body were tonal colors so there wasn’t a strong horizontal look. The colors were Navy and Dark Blue for the body and green, ivory, red and navy for the top. The second combination was Black and Dark Grey for the body stripes and Fuchsia, Pink, Ivory and Black for the top.
