Many of you have been asking me exactly what color the CARIBBEAN BLUE is, and what the colors are in the new OLIVE combination for the Hydrangea print jersey reorder top. Since it is already avail to order, I felt you all should know what you are ordering, not just buying site unseen. As you can see from the photo above, the Caribbean Blue is a beautiful aqua/turquoise color that you only see in the beautiful waters of the Caribbean. I have no other garments made or coming in this color, but you can bet I will use it in the future. The accent colors are…………SUNSHINE YELLOW, GOLDENROD, LAVENDER and WHITE. The leaves are two shades of yellow greens. I have paired it with the denim skirt in WHITE and the SUNSHINE YELLOW, which I think looks fantastic and will be the perfect for summer. The olive………yes it is my olive and will work with all of your Linea olive bottoms, has accent colors of………….TANGERINE, CORAL, YELLOW and WHITE. It also, has two shades of yellow greens for the leaves. In the photos above I have the top paired with the OLIVE BOHO, and a NEW PONTE DRAW STRING SKIRT in NECTARINE! [coming in April]. It is styled from a traditional “sweat pant”…………swings both ways….dressy or casual. I know they are going to be  wonderful additions to your Linea wardrobes………………………………………………………………enjoy…….much Love……….Louis

FEBRUARY JEWELRY consists of two pieces, J278125, the BEAD & HAMMERED LINK NECKLACE, and the coordinating FACETED BEAD DROP EARRING, J278127, which is very light in weight. The necklace and earring will be available in THREE different color combinations…………………..The first is called………….”GOLD TONE”……………………..The necklaces are named after the metal color of the HAMMERED OBLONG RINGS. In this necklace…..there are FIVE different color FACETED beads  in various shapes and sizes. There are ……………….CITRINE……………..LIGHT TURQUOISE…………CORAL/PINK……………LIGHT SMOKEY TOPAZ………..MATTE BRASS beads…… plus SIX LARGE OBLONG HAMMERED RINGS. The necklace is approx. 48 inches long with a 3 inch extender, and a lobster claw closing. The necklace can be shortened to 44 inches if necessary by hooking the lobster claw onto additional rings that are close to the beads………………………The earring is made up of one small CORAL/PINK bead and one larger CITRINE bead. The earring  is approx. 3 inches long……………If need be, you can always shorten the earring by easily removing one of the beads………..it would not hurt the look with the matching necklace at all. In the photos above …..the picture with the long necklaces is actually two necklaces on the longest length possible. The picture with the necklace doubled up is also two necklaces. I have added the addition of the GOLD PANTHER LINK WATCH, J273959, because I think it is the ideal watch to wear with this necklace. You will be surprised at how many things you will be able to wear this necklace with, both during the fall/winter and spring/summer. It looks great with winter tweeds as well as summer clothing. This past fall I mixed these necklaces with others when I show the tweed and the solid herringbone jackets in the violet, topaz and teal. It’s a great way to add color and a little sparkle with out being too much…………Enjoy…..much Love………Louis…………………………………..

Also, in the photos above , is a picture of my GUNMETAL WATCH, J270046, which I think works perfectly with these necklaces………Again, I see these pieces worn year round. For a more tailored look…..switch the long earring off with my DEMI HOOP earring  in gunmetal or the GUNMETAL CHAIN HOOP earring. They both work equally well for totally different looks……………………Enjoy…….much Love………..Louis

We love the snow…..especially when we don’t have to drive down to or from QVC! Just last week, before the news of the impending blizzard, I said to Jac…..”after we get home from the shows I hope we get snow”. Be careful what you wish for! We spent a cozy evening by the fire, watching things we had taped and hadn’t gotten a chance to see. The expected SURGE never happened……thank God……at least not where I live. We went to bed and it was still snowing…..I was hoping for a few feet…..I mean after 12 inches of snow…..what’s a few more!? That’s Franco in the pic with Jac…..he is our landscaper and snow plower……our general go to guy. As you can see the girls had a blast!……………..For all my friends who were affected by the snow…..be careful out there…..there is plenty of ICE under all the pretty white stuff!……………..much Love, Louis
