…………………………………BLACK………is the second color being offered in the Antoinette blouse……BTW, that’s my name for the blouse not QVC’s……………….The combination of this silhouette and color is pure CHIC. Where it any season…….In the summer wear it with white bottoms or Capri pants and leggings……Add a strappy sandal and voila…ready for a night out. In the fall and winter add a pair of pants….slim, straight leg or boot cut all work. Leggings with boots give you an edgier look. Whatever your style you can make this work for you……As for accessories…..the sky is the limit……all are good……………………enjoy…………………much Love………………Louis

………………………………..Lastly…………WINTER WHITE…..the purest color of all……… It will look wonderful right now, and just as spectacular when the Holidays are here. It’s already the end of July and the summer is whizzing by……..Before you know it the Holidays will be upon us, and won’t you look splendid in your new Antoinette blouse……..Around the neck the “Spirit Pendant” in GREY STORM…………………………………………………….enjoy…………….much Love………………..Louis

……………………On July 27th I will be premiering a new……..”BIG DEAL”………..on QVC2 at 9:00pm………..The SLEEVELESS TURTLENECK, A293746, will be offered as the Big Deal. This style was requested by many of you. I have done many sleeveless turtle necks during my career, but in the 17 years I’ve been designing for QVC I haven’t done one! I did do a sleeveless mock a few years back, but nothing since…..So this ESSENTIAL piece is a first……To say that this is the perfect LAYERING PIECE would be an understatement….Take any shirt, sweater, cardigan, or jacket, and wear it over this TN. No worries about bulkiness or double sleeves that often twist and are uncomfortable. This makes layering EASY……. The Whisper Knit sleeveless turtleneck is made in my ENR construction [Every Needle Rib]. The yarn is my med. weight. The approx. length for the XXS is 24 inches. The sizing will be X,M, L….This is a true fold over TN. It is not a mock neck……REMEMBER…..the Every Needle Rib construction is VERY stretchy, so if the measurement for your size seam a little small that’s OK. You do not want to buy an ENR sweater that IS your measurements or it will probably be too big. That has been my experience speaking with all of the Linea Ladies, and working with my manufacturer and fit model………The color above is my new………..CELADON, and naturally it BLENDS beautifully with the Celadon Gauze Crepe open front Cardigan, A293748……..I think it’s a dreamy color, and flattering to everyone… The pant shown above is the DARK SAND CREPE GAUZE, A293755 for the reg. and A293756 for the petite……..I love the softness and gentleness of these two colors together……I would love to see someone wearing this outfit in Feb and March when everything is so bleak……………………..The PENDANT is brand new. It is called my “SPIRIT PENDANT”………There is something very calming about it. The color above is Mint Mist, though it looks perfect with the Celadon. It will be on my Aug. 25th jewelry show on QVC2 at 6:00pm……Something tells me these pendants won’t last long!……………………..enjoy………………………….much Love…………………..Louis

…………………….DESERT SAND………………is the second color being offered in the new Sleeveless TN, and again it blends wonderfully with the Desert Sand crepe gauze open front cardi. The pant is the A273303 in GREY………This is a woven trouser which has been reordered, and will also be part of my QVC2 shows coming up……Sometimes it’s nice to have a classic WOVEN trouser with a zip front and buttoned waist band that isn’t a pull-on!……Trouser pockets of course……..The Desert Sand is a wonderful neutral that works with EVERYTHING. I’m sure you will be reaching for it more then you would have thought. The pendant in the black and grey, is called “Storm Grey”. It has the double fine chain with hanging tiny stones, and this too will be on my QVC2 August jewelry show………………………….enjoy…………………….much Love…………………….Louis

………………………….If there ever was a MUST HAVE ESSENTIAL PIECE…..this BLACK SLEEVELESS TURTLENECK is it!………………Start off pairing it with any black bottom……from shorts, to Capri and crop pants, to long gauze, gab, Super Ponte pants or the BLACK WHISPER KNIT PANT coming this fall!………..or your favorite black skirt. I would choose the matching WK pencil or the WK long skirt [shown above], and this too is coming this FALL!!……Then start layering to create many different outfits. Just the black TN worn with any black bottom is the perfect backdrop for ALL of your jewelry and accessories…….One look that I have always loved is a Black TN worn under a white shirt, and because the TN is SLEEVELESS this is so easy to wear……..To update the look I have the White WING COLLAR shirt, A259103, with the new Black Whisper Knit SWING TUNIC, A288394 worn over it………….very CHIC……very PARISIAN!….If layering isn’t your thing…..wear it under anything and EVERYTHING…….like the Tobacco/Black Composition print jacket above, A225867………………The RUSSIAN GOLD ETRUSCAN necklace and earring, plus the NEW RUSSIAN GOLD FISH pendant is what I chose to accessorize the “LOOK”……Who said the FISH was only for the summer???????………………………enjoy…………………..much Love………………..Louis
