…………………..Just a few more pics…..On the right the Black Moss crepe sleeveless dress, A306344, with the MAASAI Necklace, J477427, earrings and TWO BRACELETS, [you’ll have to use your imagination that she is wearing two Maasai coil bracelets!]…….BTW the earring and coil bracelet have been reordered for an end July delivery…so I guess that means the beginning of Aug?…..If you want to be assured of getting them go on wait list. We had a wait list started just for this reason. The demand was much greater than the inventory!!!…..On the left the Moss Crepe dress with short sleeve and scoop neck in the Island Fuchsia, A302606, worn with the Blue Bedouin, J478051, and the VOODOO, J391570…….The TURQUOISE really stands out against the Island Fuchsia………….Ladies….the message here is……………HAVE FUN!!!!!………………………………..enjoy………………………….much Love…………………………Louis

…………………DESERT is the color name………Oasis could have easily been the color name too. The mood is RICH NEUTRALS, ochre, taupe, cactus, rust  burnished orange, gold and black There are many Linea pieces from the past that can work with this coloration. I have chosen to use the most obvious and most dramatic, IVORY and BLACK. The top is the Ivory WK tank with the ribbed bottom, A307363, and the Black Super Ponte pencil skirt, A347449………..I have accessorized the outfit with TWO NEW necklaces that I have designed to work either TOGETHER or on their own. The pendant necklace is called the PINEAPPLE PENDANT, and the companion station necklace with Russian Gold pieces and Resin beads comes with the earring. This necklace  is called the SWIRL necklace. The color is HONEY with the  RUSSIAN GOLD..These pieces come from my Anne Klein vault!……It also looks incredible layered with necklaces you already own like the Honey Bedouin set….A fabulous black high heel sandal, an espadrille, a wedge or a beautiful flat sandal will all work perfectly! A straw big tote will add some exotic flare….and another texture……Always think of another texture for interest. It adds so much to an outfit……………………………….enjoy…………………..much Love…………………………Louis

………………………..As you look at what you already own, you will find more and more pieces that work with the Desert Kimono……A happy find was one of my personal favorites…..the OLIVE BRANCH Moss Crepe sleeveless dress, A306344. It’s such an unusual color to begin with, and it just looks even more fabulous with the layered necklaces, and the Kimono…..It gives the Kimono a whole different look from the classic ivory and black or all black….The black Tortue, J361087, the Brass Ox and Black Moroccan necklace, J477433, and the Brass Ox and Olive Berber necklace, J392832…all topped off with the Desert Kimono will look like you just came back from Marrakesh with your new treasures….It’s very rich looking in color and TEXTURE…..It is all very sophisticated……If this isn’t a red head’s outfit I don’t know what is!!! Of course that’s not to say brunettes and blonds wouldn’t look equally fine!…………..enjoy………..much Love………….Louis……………………………CLICK “OLDER” TO SEE THE LAST POST

………………………The Desert Kimono with the Black Moss Crepe sleeveless V-neck dress……accessorized with, on the extreme left…..The Brass Ox and Black Moroccan necklace, J477433, the Honey Berber, J392832, and the Black Tortue, J361087. To the right, a simpler version with the Honey Bedouin, J478051, and the Black Lord Of the Ring Necklace, J393304. Layering like this IS POSSIBLE, because all combined they are still  light weight to wear…….for most……………………………..enjoy……………………much Love……………………….Louis

………………..The new TURQUOISE TEE SHIRT TOP, A351114, is a blend of 55% cotton, 40% modal and 5% spandex. The hand is silky and the garment is light weight…..The neckline has a narrow V band, and the sleeve is 3/4 length. The body has a gentle shape and the bottom has a graceful curve. The length of the top is approx. 26 inches for the size xxs…………The color is a beautiful saturated TURQUOISE. It looks great with the Linea white denim shorts, A306294. Add the Black Chain necklace, J393304, the Blue Bedouin necklace and earring set, J478051, and the Black roller bracelets, J390569……….Complete the look with black sunglasses and white slides like the Marc Fisher A352651…….This tee happens to look great with the new TROPICAL STRIPE KIMONO coming soon……..It was all part of the plan……………..It’s all so relaxed and easy…..just as summer should be………………………enjoy……………….much Love………………………Louis
