A214114, is the BABY CHEETAH PRINT TOP. This is the 4th or 5th year this top has been reordered, so I have to assume many of you like it and are collecting the new colors as they appear. The fabric is my POLYESTER/SPANDEX blend jersey. For those of you who swear off polyester, this is not for you. For those of you who have tried this fabric in one or more of the five tops [all reordered], and dresses that I have made in this fabric, you know its’ virtues. It is light weight, washable, does not wrinkle, easy to pack and takes very little room, and for most of you….very cool to wear. Three of the colors shown above are returning colors…………NATURAL……………..OLIVE………..CHILI PEPPER…………………The Olive and Chili Pepper are new this year. For all of the details on this top….they are to be found at the QVC Linea site. This is a top you can definitely wear 12 months of the year………..ANIMAL PRINTS never go out of fashion……they may have peeks and valleys but they are always in style.

……………………………………………………………………enjoy…..much Love…..Louis

The TIE DYE SWEATER REORDER is BACK in all of its ORIGINAL colors plus the addition of the new…………………TAN & PEACH………………………..The tan reminds me of wet BEACH SAND, and the peach drifts to the CORAL side. It is a beautiful soft, neutral combination. The contrast GROS GRAIN RIBBON is dyed to coordinate with the peach and the little gumdrop buttons are tan. Just a reminder…..this is an engineered print…..meaning the ENTIRE SWEATER is PRINTED in one process……so everything MATCHES and each sweater is exactly the same. What you see above is exactly what you will get. There are no blotches placed on a delicate area….if you get my DRIFT………This sweater is a cool 100% COTTON and is perfect for bike riding in the Hamptons, Martha’s Vineyard, Malibu or along the lake…..in other words …..the PERFECT SUMMER SWEATER! I have it shown with the TAUPE BOHO SKIRT, which is a terrific coordinate…….the new WHITE BOHO will be perfection.  A pair of chinos, white crops or shorts will be all you really need to look ready for spring /summer. I also like this color because it is different enough from the others…..that you won’t mind having two…………….or three……….they are that special, and you certainly won’t see yourself coming and going!……. I suggest , if you are new to this sweater, that you read all of the details and comments on the QVC LINEA SITE. There are 35 reviews………….34 are 5 STARS………..and one person gave it ONE *……….go figure…..you can’t please everyONE! Scroll down for pictures of all the original colors it is still being offered in…………………..Enjoy………………much Love………………Louis

The A223654, TIE DYE SWEATER is making a come back in all of the original colors and is ready to be purchased. It is available in all of the sizes now. If you really want it, please don’t hesitate or you will have to wait another year for it to come back….and there is always the chance it won’t. be reordered again. Tie dyes were just starting to make a resurgence last year…..but are a really strong trend this year……For me, this sweater in these yummy summery colors ….is a breath of fresh air……………………enjoy……………….much Love……………………Louis

The LACE CARDIGAN is back and ready for purchasing. Since there are no pictures on the QVC Linea site for you to see the new colors…..I thought I had better post them for ALL to see. The BLACK/TAUPE is returning and two new colors have been added……………NAVY/OFF WHITE LACE……………..IVORY/BLACK LACE…..The sweater is 60% cotton and 40% rayon……For those of you who have just discovered this sweater, I will tell you about the lace. Originally the sweater was to have lace appliqued onto the sweater. I simply could not find the right pattern to use. To accomplish what I wanted to achieve, the lace would have to be cut apart and then applique the desired sections onto the sweater…..a very time consuming and costly operation………but I couldn’t find a lace to do it with…..so……if you’re handed lemons make lemonade!……….. I decided to make my own design using different laces as a reference and create an embroidery…..viola! ……..The LACE EMBROIDERED CARDIGAN………… This is a terrific little cardigan because it truly is a dress up or down garment. In the pictures above I have the NAVY/OFF WHITE with jeans and an ivory tank….it also looks great with the new INDIGO MITERED STRIPE SKIRT…..wear it with the ivory crepe trousers or the ivory pleated skirt…… it is perfect for Easter Sunday……..or an afternoon wedding. I have the IVORY/BLACK cardigan with a black tank and the black pleated skirt…..there is a lace dress in black and white , coming in April, that it also looks INCREDIBLE with……..very chic. The BLACK/TAUPE is making a come back and looks so perfect with the “tweed” tank and the stone Herringbone trouser, pictured above……….the lace dress also will be coming in Bamboo and Black and looks wonderful with this cardigan……many choices, many ways to incorporate this feminine piece into your every day wardrobes…….there are also the two pastel versions….in limited quantities and sizes…….I suggest you read the comments and the details that are all there on the QVC Linea site……….40 out of 41 women would recommend this cardigan!!!!! There is always one lone wolf!!!! LOL………………………………………………………
