…………………EMERALD…………………JAC’s birthstone. She loved emeralds, and she did “allow” me to buy her a few emerald pieces. Her mother would always tell her that May was the most beautiful month of the year, and I had to agree with her……”April showers bring May flowers”…………All of the flowers are in bloom and everything is a beautiful EMERALD GREEN……I have always loved emeralds. I know I have told you the story of when I was invited to the White House for a State dinner. It was early Dec. and the White House was decorated in all of its’ glory! Nancy Reagan was wearing a deep emerald green silk Cloque’ sheath evening long dress with a wide ruffle hem. Around her neck was a Torsade of five or 6 rows of Cabochon Emeralds…….absolutely jaw dropping!………………….The best I can offer you is my MALACHITE V-neck WK Swing sweater and my Torsade and Tuxedo necklaces in an exact matching emerald green color……..The Tuxedo necklace is shown worn different ways……..They may not be real, but they are jaw dropping!…………..Whether you wear them with black pants, faux suede, Ponte or sequin pants for the Fall/ Winter season you will make a beautiful statement……………Come Spring…………..switch to my new WHITE Ponte pant or pencil skirt with the Malachite sweater and emerald green necklace…..for a fresh breath of SPRING!………………………………enjoy………………….much Love………………………..Louis

……………………….THE PEARL & FACETED GLASS BEAD NECKLACE, J358184, will be featured on my October 10th, 9:00pm show on QVC2……This is a very special piece which is part of my Holiday collection….I have never done such an extensive Holiday collection for QVC before, and I hope it is successful so I can bring you many more dressier pieces in the future…..This is a season-less necklace which will look just as beautiful with my Holiday offerings as it will with many of the Spring/Summer 2019 items coming………..What a fabulous Holiday present this would make!…………………………………..Happy Holidays………………………..enjoy………………………much Love……………………………Louis

Morning….as many of you start to receive your new goodies, please don’t forget to write your comments on the Linea Fashion site. Sometimes your comments can tip the balance whether something gets reordered or not. I know you are all very busy, but this is important………….thanks, Louis

My apologies for my call out to you! I don’t know why I said Carol???? I knew very well it was you who had the fabulous idea of mixing your PL sweater with the velvet dress….Brain freeze! If they ever show the dress again, and I’m sure they will since it did not sell out, I will be sure to give you a call out again…..and not call you Carol!……..Okay I have a question……I ordered the sequin pant for my sister in law. She really wants it and she was in Bermuda. I placed the order, now how do I find out if it was shipped or has gone to back order or any other other foreign land QVC sends things?

……………………….For the Holiday season I am offering one dress, and I think it is a beauty…..A343619 for reg, and A343620 for petite…..This is a mixed media dress…..meaning there are two fabrics in the design. The top of the dress is BLACK STRETCH VELVET, and the bottom skirt part of the dress is a SIX PANEL MOSS CREPE. As you can see in the photos it has a BALLET neckline, long sleeves, and is a MIDI length. The dress is sized S,M,L. There is a raised waist seam, which is higher in the front and gracefully curves downward towards the center back. There are no zippers needed since there is lots of stretch to both fabrics.. The shape follows the lines of the body. If you buy it too big you will loose the shape!!! I often read reviews where the comment is the garment was shapeless. The garments are not shapeless….they just bought it in TOO BIG a size. When you look at the garment measurements, remember there is a lot of stretch……The skirt part of the dress flows and has just enough fabric for a beautiful drape. The sweep you see in the photos is very accurate…….How you accessorize will determine where you can wear this dress. I think this dress would look great with the short Black Leather jacket, the new Black Leather topper , and the new Black Blazer would all work perfectly with the dress……..The Art Nouveau pendant on the left is less dressy than the Seed Pearl, Jet and Crystal Ball bead torsade on the right [I have layered TWO necklaces in the photo]. It really isn’t necessary, but I like abundance!….They are part of my Nov. delivery……You could either wear beautiful BOOTS or a BOOTIE or a PUMP with this dress. I strongly recommend when wearing a bootie it should be close fitting to the leg. When wearing either a bootie or  a pump, BLACK TIGHTS or BLACK SHEER HOSE should be worn. For me, it is a more finished look. It is a pet peeve of mine to see bare legs with a midi dress in the fall and winter, but that’s just my opinion…………….One on the best things about this dress is the COMFORT!. I want you not only to always look your best, but you should always be comfortable in what you’re wearing……………………………enjoy……………………..much Love………………………………Louis
