………………………A new DRESS in a NEW SUMMER GAUZE WOVEN FABRIC………….It’s all about the gossamer gauze, light as air fabric. It has a “Sabrina” neckline. a short sleeve and a FLY AWAY silhouette. A slight asymmetrical hem, nothing too severe, and POCKETS!……I’m telling you NOW…..if you are looking for a fitted dress….this IS NOT IT!!!!….If you want something that will provide lots of AIR CIRCULATION with NO CLING, and lots of comfort on those hot humid days…..then look no further….This is the LAST dress I will be offering for the the summer season…….It is lined in my tricot knit [same as boho skirt] for lots of stretch and comfort……..This particular shade of TOBACCO is a very saturated color, and much richer than my photos. The closest to the color are the photos at the upper right and left corners…….I developed this color to work specifically with my MULTI SHAPED WOOD & BRASS BEAD NECKLACE & EARRING SET, J353996……..They really look fabulous together!………The dress will be avail in the regular length, A308457, and a PETITE length, A308467. There may be some of you taller women who actually prefer the petite length, and visa versa……Jac always bought petite Eileen Fisher dresses. Yes, she did sometimes buy other designer’s clothes, and always looked great in them………This dress in this color will also be a great transition piece into early fall when the temperatures are still high but summer colors are finished………………Gotta think ahead! This dress will be featured on my 6/12, QVC2, 9:00pm show…………………………………………enjoy……………………much Love………………………..Louis

……………………..This GAUZE dress will be offered in TWO COLORS….the TOBACCO, which you have seen…..and BLACK….so your choices will be easy. I have to say, this is a terrific LBD….perfect for work, church, and going out for the evening. This is a terrific “going back to school dress” for my teachers out there! WOW, I just remembered a teacher I had in high school. I hate to say it but that was 54 years ago!!! Mrs. Tillman. She taught biology. Mrs. Tillman was a tall, thin very chic woman. not beautiful, but very handsome………She would have killed this dress. I can’t believe I remembered her! Some memories just stay with you in a corner of your mind. Her look, her movements and her voice always impressed me….yes, I guess ! did have a small crush. She was smart as a whip and great to look at!……Beautiful legs too! She always wore Ferragamo skimmers with a low block heel. I think they still make the same shoe. It was there “status” classic….How’s that for gray matter!………….I accessorized the dress with the WOOD & GOLD BEAD & LEAF NECKLACE SET in the GREY, J352567………………….This dress can easily carry dramatic jewelry and this necklace on the Black is perfection IMHO………………..enjoy……………much Love…………………..Louis

…………………………TEE SHIRTS are a summer staple. They are the garments you reach for every day, because they are easy, comfortable and and uncomplicated. With that in mind I think you need a variety of styles. Most are simple unadorned designs in wonderful summery colors, but every now and then I think of an embroidery or on rare occasions find a piece of hardware that I think looks expensive enough to use. This hardware fits that bill and MORE. These round metal disc “STUDS” have SUBSTANCE and DIMENSION. They are highly polished, and look like beautiful buttons. The advantage of them being studs and not buttons is you don’t have to deal with button holes, and you don’t have to worry about the buttons falling off………I call this tee, “THE CAPTAIN’S TEE”, A308470, because the studs on both shoulders just reminds me of the kind of decorations you would see on a captain’s shirt……it’s called creative license………………The tee is made in my SILKY light weight cotton knit, which as many of you already know from wearing and washing them, is a superior quality. The sleeves are short, the neckline is a crew, and there is a yoke on each shoulder where the studs are placed…..three on each shoulder…….I rarely use hard wear on anything, not because I don’t like it, but because I rarely find hard wear that I can afford, and that looks expensive. When I saw these studs I knew immediately I had to use them………I will be showing the white tee as you see it in the photos above with my new WHITE SUMMER WEIGHT DENIM SHORTS, A306294 REG. length and A306293 for the PETITE length…………I chose the NEW…….GEOMETRY NECKLACE and EARRING SET, J354000 [GEO for short], to accessorize this new Captain’s tee. It is perfect. I don’t honestly think you can find anything that works better. The HIGHLY POLISHED metal in the SILVERTONE looks great with the studs. The TRIANGLES, SQUARES and CIRCLES of the “Y” necklace are in perfect harmony with the studs on the Tee. The necklace isn’t too much or to little. It doesn’t clash with the studs at all. They compliment each other beautifully. I put this necklace in the same category as the Y Bar necklace. It’s a no brainer and works with everything. It’s not always easy to maintain a very casual look when you add jewelry. Sometimes adding the wrong jewelry makes the “look” more dressy then you would like. Sometimes dressy works, and sometimes you want to keep it simple, but you still want it to stand out….or else what’s the point of wearing it?…..The earring is a simple CUBE post [pierced only] from which a chain and a small TRIANGLE hang. It’s simple and makes just enough of a statement. These can easily be worn on their own or mixed with other silver jewelry you may already own…..like fabulous silver chains………………There will be days when all you want is your basic tee, but how much fun is this new version with the SILVER STUDS going to be to wear. You know women will want to know where you got it, and men will look admiringly!……………………………enjoy…………………………..much Love……………………….Louis

………………………..NAVY! An absolute MUST HAVE!!………………….This time the studs are SHINY GOLD………There will be times when dressing up your TEE will be called for…..maybe on your next cruise you will be invited to sit at the Captain’s table………You will have the perfect outfit with your NAVY CAPTAIN’S TEE, your WHITE LINEA JEANS, A, or WHITE PONTE B.C. Pant, A, if you want  a little dressier bottom …….To finish the “look”. and give it that WOW effect add the RED and GOLD SEED BEAD NECKLACE, J, and CUFF J…….A touch of NAUTICAL without being obvious. You will look INCREDIBLE, and be the most comfortable woman at the table. If a cruise isn’t in your plan any time soon…….the 4th Of July is just around the corner!

……………………I know you are going to enjoy wearing these wonderful Tees………………….much Love………………….Louis

………………………….LADIES……….this is a beautiful RED…………….you know it as FIRECRACKER!….and yes it blends perfectly with your FIRECRACKER BOHO SKIRT! It will also be fabulous with your WHITE, NAVY, and BLACK BOHO skirts……………I have chosen to show the Captain’s Tee in Firecracker with my new INDIGO DENIM SHORTS, the style numbers are already listed with the White Captain’s tee………..This red tee had SHINY GOLD STUDS. Again the “GEO” necklace and earring set in the SHINY GOLD is the perfect compliment with this tee and so many things you already own…………..Don’t you love getting dressed in the morning in 3 minutes, and looking fabulous…..OK maybe 4 minutes. I know I don’t move quite as fast as I used to! All joking aside………..it’s so easy to look polished and pulled together when you own the right pieces!……………….A fun gold sandal, and espadrille or wedge will complete the look. I have to say QVC has some really nice ones. Vince Camuto has some beauties. Unfortunately they aren’t avail. to use in the shows, but I wish I could…………………….enjoy……………much Love…………..Louis
