……………………….When in doubt…………….wear BLACK…………….this is the perfect dress for ACCESSORIES………..scarves, pins, bracelets, earrings, but most of all NECKLACES. Any of my new 72 inch long GLASS FACETED BEAD NECKLACES in the GREY, BRONZE, CLEAR or JET will look incredible on this black dress. Wear them doubled, tripled or quadrupled for the effect you want. Of course my favorite combination is definitely GOLD & BLACK. A pair of black suede boots with either black SHEER or opaque tights will finish the look…..even the right patterned tights could look very festive! ………………………………………………………………………….

There’s a Sondheim song, “Putting it together”, that always comes to mind when I start a collection….”bit by bit”…..”piece by piece”….”putting it together”…….”to create a work of art”. For me that is the way to build a wardrobe of clothing…..and that’s how you build a wardrobe of jewelry……piece by piece…..so when you put it all together it becomes something special….something unique. In the photos above you can start to see what I mean by putting it together piece by piece, bit by bit, from different seasons and different collections…..that all work together. That is my job…..to suggest and help you put it all together….to add pieces to create a “look “………..that becomes your look, maybe a “signature look”. There have been many women over the course of time that are known for creating their own unique and very individual  signature look. These are not women who follow trends or were ever considered to be “trendy”. They created trends, and because of their uniqueness….. women wanted to emulate them. Of course, Coco Chanel was one of those women. In my small way I hope to give you the “tools” to create your look…..putting it together piece by piece, season after season…..creating something special.

The pieces above…..the new JET and GREY glass bead necklace, J284043, the multi color bead necklace in BLACK/ GREY/ CRYSTAL, J273583, the multi bead bracelet in the same BLACK/GREY/CRYSTAL, J273584, the J284044, the JET and SILVER bracelet, the J273959, SILVER panther link watch and the J284042 drop bead earring avail. in the JET and GREY, can all be put together in various ways to create unique and very different looks……..mix in the new CLEAR faceted glass bead necklace and you have even more possibilities…..add the SILVER swirl or demi hoop and you create something else………I will always create new things to ADD to the collection you have started……bit by bit…..piece by piece……Putting it together is the fun part of dressing, the creative part of dressing……the way you put it together that will make it uniquely you!……..scroll down…………………………………………………………………………………………..Enjoy………………..much Love……………………………..Louis

In the photos above you have the J284043, BRONZE necklace with the J273583, PURPLE multi necklace, the J273584, multi bead bracelet in the PURPLE and the J284042, drop bead earring in the BRONZE. Putting these pieces together is easy…….What’s going to make all the difference is what you WEAR THEM WITH. Above, I have the V-neck WK in violet that brings out the purples in the multi necklace and the bronze gives a wonderful warmth, but they will look just as amazing on the Violet sequin dress from last season………add a deep bronze evening sandal, and you have put it together………. Wear this combination on TOBACCO, SIENNA, WALNUT, TOPAZ etc etc and you will create another look. Let us know what color or colors you have mixed together to create your own special combination…….Also, if you find the drop earring a touch too long for you…………they are easily shortened to any length you desire. If you or your husband are handy….it can be done in a matter of minutes….if not…..any jeweler can do it in seconds, and if they are nice, they may not even charge….it’s that simple to do……………………………………………………………………enjoy………………………………………….much Love………………………….Louis

As I sit at my desk, watching the snow fall over the Long Island sound………………..which is a beautiful sight………………I can’t help but dream of…. the beautiful sunrises…..the sunny days…..and the magnificent sunsets over the Pacific…………………….as you can see in the photo….the guys [three of us] decided we weren’t going to shave……..Jac was not too happy about that, but I promised on Jan. 1st of 2014 I would shave it off….Oh yes…..I’m not getting a hair cut either……..I’ll be able to join the “Duck” guys…LOL……………….much Love……………….. Louis

I thought I would re-post this picture of the JET BEAD BRACELETS, J284044, since so many of you have picked up the GLASS JET BEAD 72 inch necklace. I know some of you were worried that it would be too big….not to worry. I suggest you read the reviews, all positive, from women with different wrist sizes who were all happy with the way it fit. I personally love this bracelet stacked with multiples or with other black and metal or solid metal bangles…..the more the MERRIER………………………Happy Holidays……………….Love…………………………Louis
