“THE BUTTERCUP & MINT SNAP FRONT TOP”

words17

………………………….Jac is in the process of switching out her closets from Winter to Spring, and as she was bringing out and stacking her summer tees all of the pastel colors looked so fresh and pretty. Yes, even Jac gives up black [not everything] for these pretty summertime hues. Two of the new colors being offered are the BUTTERCUP and MINT. The Buttercup I have paired with the TAUPE LINEA BODY CAPRI LEGGING, and the MINT with white.  The GREY L.B. Capri legging, also looks wonderful with the mint and that’s how I will be showing it. The Buttercup has gold snaps and the Mint has silver…..These colors are just so pretty to look at that I’m sure they will be a pleasure to wear and collect……………………………..enjoy………………………much Love…………………………….Louis

“THE WHITE SNAP FRONT TOP”

…………….There is so much I have to say about this new addition to my Linea Leisure. The TUNIC TOP, A288395, it the newest piece…………..Firstly this will be a……..TSV……………..It will be presented on QVC PLUS on the evening of April, at 9:00PM. QVC is bringing a new importance to QVC Plus. Where it was once a place to repeat shows that were previously aired, they are now bringing more and more LIVE PROGRAMMING to the PLUS station. I will be one of the first to present a TSV on the PLUS station. Since the viewing of the Plus station is still growing the quantities aren’t as huge as those on the regular programming, but that’s quite alright with me……..so beware there aren’t 60,000 to go around…..LOL…………………….I sometimes think casual leisure clothes get a bum rap. Yes, much of it is mass produced and inferior quality, and one has be be much more aware of what they are buying. So much of it is one season and done. “Disposable Fashion”, may be a clever quip, but not when it’s your dollars that are being disposed of! Much of it is also lacking in design and few details to elevate it to a designer garment. No matter what I design, and make no mistake, I design every piece with my name on it, I always want to be proud of what I offer. Of course price does present a challenge, but these challenges can stir design possibilities. Linea Leisure is the most challenging line to do. There is so much choice and competition in the Leisure market that it is my challenge to design unique pieces. Of course there are very basic utilitarian pieces that can be found anywhere like a classic Tee shirt which I have offered. I think it is important for Linea to offer pieces like these to complete the Linea woman’s wardrobe…………………This particular tunic tee was based on the very successful Hooded Tee, A233944, with the high/low hem and snap front. The fine ribbed 100% COTTON KNIT is the same. The body seaming to create a subtle A-Line shape is the same. The TAPE detailing with the tape snap front is the same, the long sleeve is the same, the band pockets is the same, the high low hem is almost the same. This tunic does’t have such an extreme difference, but is still a noticeable difference. The front, for the xxs, measures approx. 29 inches. The neckline is the main difference. This new style has a scoop neckline……not too low. I think low enough to give the top a spring summer coolness. The details from the first top remain with the tape trimming the neckline to prevent it from stretching out……….This……..WHITE…..tunic tee can also double as a light summer jacket when worn with a simple light weight tank. Dress it up or down for different occasions and purposes. I think this will add something stylish to your summer collection of Leisure clothes, though this can certainly be worn all year long……………………………………………..

“THE PALE PINK TIERED SLEEVELESS TUNIC”

……………………………..The PALE PINK SLEEVELESS TIERED TUNIC, A276293, is coming back in all of its’ glory. I think this is definitely one of the prettiest most fragile pinks I have done. It has an open jewel or SABRINA neckline…….very Audrey Hepburn. The bottom tier of the CREPE GAUZE tunic is made out of GEORGETTE……….The WK SKIRT, A273880 is in my PERFECTLY PINK which blends beautifully with the Pale Pink. All of the details are posted on the QVC Linea site……This tunic has 60 reviews…..51 of them are 5 STAR, and 4 are 4 STAR, so I would say this has been a widely popular top…….Since it’s a reorder you know it has passed all of QVC’s tests…..and most importantly….your tests!. There are still a few left in BLACK and ALABASTER…..but very few……It can be accessorized so many ways, starting with the pink bead necklace and earring set above, which has recently sold out. A strand of pearls or maybe a TRIPLE STRAND of pearls like the J296624, in either the CREAM or GREY would look splendid. The matching OVAL PEARL earring, J296890 is now on “Last Clicks” for the astounding price of $8.14…..now that’s a deal!….. For something a little edgier, my super long 72″ BLACK GLASS FACETED JET BEADS, or the same beads in CLEAR CRYSTAL. The matching clear drop, J317115 is still avail., and it’s on “Last Clicks” too. Pair the P. Pink with a black or grey bottom for a very sophisticated outfit…… If you missed this tunic the first time around here is your chance to acquire something truly special……………………….enjoy………………….much Love……………………………….Louis

“THE NAVY TIERED SLEEVELESS TUNIC”

words14

……………………………….Many of you who own this tunic asked last year to please bring it back in MORE COLORS……so this year we are adding…….NAVY……………..I would strongly suggest, as one option, wearing the new LONG WK OPEN FRONT CARDIGAN, A287608, in IVORY or even the SCARLET RED over this tunic……..maybe with Ivory pants or my Ivory WK pencil skirt…..Let the cover up determine the accessories………I LOVE the LIME and GOLD SEED BEAD NECKLACES with the navy, and ivory [I layered two, but one will suffice]. For me the BOLD GOLD HOOP, J288005 is a must have earring. It just works with everything and I show it with everything. If you can….you should……Pearls are a natural………………I know you will enjoy another season wearing this wonderful tunic…………………………much Love……………………….Louis
