THE TEAK/BLACK STRIPE CARDIGAN”

lace cardi22

………………I always like to take something very classic….like a stripe cardigan……and do something to it that is unexpected! In this case…..the unusual color of……..TEAK….with BLACK. Don’t ask me to describe it, because it is just one of those colors you can’t nail down….that’s why it’s special. I have chosen to trim this color combination with the GUNMETAL SIGNATURE BUTTONS….Naturally, I accessorized it with GUNMETAL….In the photos I have both the REVERSIBLE GUNMETAL and BLACK JET cross [the reverse side it gray crystals with a gray pearl center], J317110…and the GUNMETAL FISH PENDANT….still to come…….any day now???? All I know is it’s been delivered….so it’s swimming around the warehouse somewhere?????. For bottoms….I’ve chosen the Linea Leisure pull-on pant in Black and White [reg and petite avail]. The black and navy are almost gone, but the white are still avail. Don’t wait till June to decide to pick up white pants…..they will be gone! They are terrific white pants….not see through and they have POCKETS……………………….The Kate shirt, A214116, gives  a nice tailored but still, casual attitude…..roll the cuffs back and push up the sleeve! Add your GUNMETAL BOLD HOOPS, J288055 and you big black sunglasses…..a GUNMETAL tote and off you go….I ill be showing Black and White Converse sneakers with this look…..great for a day running around the city!……………………………………………………………………………

“THE BLEACHED BLUE DENIM JEAN JACKET”

lace cardi8

………The DENIM JACKET, A232350, is  back and ready for ordering. Since QVC has already posted the jacket, without color pictures, I thought there was no sense holding back my pics……even though this jacket isn’t going to be on air for another month???on the Leah Williams show, Sat. March 21th…..that is if there are any still left!?…..For those of you who are new to this jacket all of the necessary measurements are posted on the QVC Linea site, but there are some notable facts you should know…….The fabric…….this is a “SUMMER WEIGHT” denim. Let me explain….there are in existence more denim qualities of fabric then you have hair on your head! They come in a huge variety of weights, weaves and finishes….so for those of you who question whether this is a denim fabric or not….IT IS. It may not be your typical Levi old heavy weight denim….none the less  it is denim. Why did I choose this denim out of all the existing denims?…..because I wanted a season-less denim that you would be comfortable wearing into the summer….and through the summer…fall, winter and spring. You still need something to cover your bare arms in air conditioned settings. Right now….where it is brutally cold….you can still layer this jacket with turtlenecks, and still feel comfortable putting a coat over it…….For this very reason of the extreme variety of weather…I chose this quality denim. The jacket is unlined for maximum comfort in the hot weather, and for maximum stretch……….This jacket has a fitted shape, but it is not tight to the body. You can see from the photos above that even when the jacket is worn open it still has a lovely shape. The shape is due to the “corset” seaming. This placement of seams gives you the best “hour glass” shape……..There are NO POCKETS in this jacket…..why?…..because they would have altered the shape of the jacket…..If you must have pockets I would suggest getting pants or a skirt with them…LOL……..The jacket is trimmed with my signature “logo” metal buttons and grommets……………..The photos above feature the new….BLEACHED BLUE DENIM………a soft sky blue color…..Needless to say the new SIGNATURE LOGO necklaces and earrings look terrific with the buttons on the jacket without looking too matchy….since they are all slightly different………I have also layered the jacket with the WHITE DENIM VEST, A252356, which has also been reordered in the WHITE, and the BLEACHED BLUE DENIM….The skirt is my vintage Linea Indigo denim skirt, but my NAVY WK or PONTE skirt will look great too……The jacket is also avail in the INDIGO, SUNBURST YELLOW and AQUA. Quite frankly, with the popularity of the Aqua WK sweaters, which match this denim Aqua perfectly, I’m surprised they haven’t all be snatched up…….Spring is just 30 days away! I know many of you are suffering from the cold weather, and there are also many of you in the southwest and Cal. who  have been having record breaking heat……I guess these extremes in weather are becoming the norm. No matter what the weather….I think this casual denim jacket, with a lot of pizzaz, will work for anyone’s  lifestyle………………………………enjoy………..much Love…………………….Louis

“THE WHITE DENIM JEAN JACKET”

lace cardi9

……….When this jacket was first introduced……WHITE was the first color to sell out……so  the WHITE has been reordered. This is a fabulous white jacket….BUT….BEWARE….YES….it is slightly SEE THOUGHT!!!!!LOL….Of course it’s going to be slightly see through…..it’s unlined! Would you prefer it heavy as lead with a satin lining or light as a feather and unlined…..obviously you know what my choice is. I purposely layered this WHITE denim jacket with a sneak peek striped “sailor sweater” and a RED elbow sleeve mock neck, because I think, IMHO, it is a very old fashioned way to think that a white jacket, especially a casual one can’t have some see through…..that’s the hazards of white. If this really bothers you, then I would not suggest the white for you, but the great majority of women could care less….and went for the white….and have enjoyed it all spring and summer and fall!..wearing it over everything from shorts and skorts to maxi dresses….BTW…the RED ELBOW SLEEVE MOCK NECK WK SWEATER, A251584 is still avail in the RED, SUNSHINE YELLOW, NAVY and WHITE! These are all colors that are going to be very important for the Linea collection this SPRING!I would recommend, if you are between sizes or like your clothes to fit easy, go to your next larger size….If you haven’t gotten yours I would not wait too long….I am going to be showing them a lot!……………………………………..enjoy…..much Love………………..Louis

“THE PERFECTLY PINK DENIM JACKET”

lace cardi7

‘The PERFECTLY PINK has been added to the roster of colors being offered in the jean jacket…….The buttons are in the gold, and combined with the gold, and or gold/silver signature jewelry….is a wonderful look. It still looks casual, but finished, and not over accessorized. I have it paired with the PP Boho which is not avail. and PP tank, also not avail……but I will work on getting more PP. pieces for next spring…..that’s the best I can do………..In the mean time….ivory, white, black  and navy are always good options. I would also love this with….horror of all horrors……pastels….like mint, lavender, pale sky blue [like the wing collar shirt, Pale Pink avail also in the Wing Collar shirt], pale butter yellow etc etc……………….It isn’t too shabby right now with a navy TN and Jeans or the CHARCOAL TN and the  FJ SMOKE maxi skirt…..I’m sure you won’t have any problems working this very flattering color into your wardrobes………………………………….enjoy……………….much Love……………………………..Louis
