……………………………….DARK CHOCOLATE is the second new color being added to this tunic, and it’s a rich, deep, delicious color!. I have it shown with a pair of vintage faux linen trousers, but there are so many colors that work with this Chocolate Brown…..Ivory or white with brown is one of my favorites……very spectator………The CHOCOLATE BARREL BEAD and EARRING set, J329558 works perfectly for a monochromatic look. You must look at a close up of these beads. Each one looks different with the vein marks that gives the impression of dyed amber. I don’t think you will ever find prettier chocolate beads….something not easy to find……………………….enjoy………………much Love………………………..Louis

…………………………YES!……………….There are new colors in the Safari Shirt, A214117, and the Boho Skirt, A70208………and why not???? These are two of my most popular styles, and if you own them you know why. These are two pieces that simply never go out of style….It’s hard not to want them in every possible color……The Safari shirt is a classic shirt with a roll up sleeve. What separates it from others is………the CRINKLE GEORGETTE……………..Light weight, airy summer shirts, in general, are hard to find. That’s one of the main reasons this shirt has become a favorite……..I would call it SEMI SHEER. It isn’t see through like a chiffon, but you will still need to wear a tank under it. That’s why we supply the matching Faux de Chine silk like tank that can be worn on its’ own…..The workmanship and sewing is superb…..Not an easy feat when sewing light weight sheer fabrics. The buttons are REAL SHELL. Another feature you hardly see anymore except on the most expensive items….Even then you will find plastic or resin buttons…….FIRE CRACKER is one of the new colors, and it is the perfect spring/summer RED………I call these reds PIGMENT REDS, because they are PURE……….They aren’t blue, nor are they orange, so they are complementary to all……………I love it with the TURQUOISE SEED BEAD NECKLACE, J329589. It stands out beautifully, and has a very south western look. I’ve shown it matching and with ivory pants, but there are so many colors you can mix with this red. All you have to do is play…………..LOOK FOR THIS on APRIL 24th on The Morning Q, starting at 7:00 am …………enjoy…………………..much Love………………Louis

…………………………ALABASTER has become one of the most asked for colors on the Linea line………It is a very special color and not easy to copy………It’s like baking….too much of this or too little of that and the receipe is ruined……A little too much gray, pink, yellow or white and it’s not ALABASTER. For these reasons it is very difficult to dye Alabaster in different fabrics and expect them to match. That’s not a problem with the Safari Shirt and Boho Skirt since they are made in the same fabric which is dyed, for both pieces, at the same time. Whatever you may own or plan to buy, like the reorder slim pant in the new Alabaster, will all blend beautifully…………..These pieces are meant to be worn together for a two piece dress look, but more importantly they are SEPARATES meant to be worn with things you may already own…….Above, I have the shirt with the Heather Charcoal Grey Super Ponte Boot Cut pant, and the skirt with the very popular WK ENR short sleeve sweater, which has been reordered in the Alabaster……..The Aztec necklace, J335215, in the Alabaster, and the Seed Bead necklace, J329589, in the Gunmetal/Black and Gold are too perfect with the Alabaster………………Chic and Sophisticated and everything those words mean definitely applies to ALABASTER…………………enjoy………………….much Love………………………Louis

…………………….I’m a Dark Chocolate lover……….Milk Chocolate doesn’t do it for me……….however, in a pinch I’ll take a piece or two or three, but I really do prefer it DARK. I love dark summer colors, and this DARK CHOCOLATE CRINKLE GEORGETTE is a beautiful rich color. The two piece dress in this color is great for work with a pair of wedges, flat banded sandals, and espadrilles. Lighten it with natural linen, sand cream and white, but it looks great with navy and black too…..Chocolate is also the perfect TRANSITION color……When Sept, October roll around, and it’s still warm and the whites are put away…….Dark Chocolate will be the perfect color to wear. In November, and Dec. when the weather becomes chilly and cold, wear your WK sweaters and boots with the Dk. Chocolate skirt. A fabulous pair of Cowboy boots would be great. The CHOCOLATE BARREL BEAD NECKLACE & EARRING set, J329558 is too perfect. Any kind of brown beads are hard to find, and when you do they are less than perfect….. So many of them have no character and look drab, dull and boring………These are the absolute opposite of that and are well worth adding to your Linea collection…………………..enjoy……………………..much Love………………….Louis

……………………………SEA BLUE………..is a beautiful addition in the crinkle georgette. I chose this color to specifically go with the new NANTUCKET BEACH GLASS NECKLACE & EARRING SET, due in May/June…….You may think that would be an easy task, but I am extremely picky, and it had to be just the right shade…..This is the perfect SUMMER BLUE…….I know the question will come up…”how is the sea blue different from the periwinkle?”. The periwinkle has an obvious lavender cast while the sea blue is on the sea green side………It becomes evident when you lay them side by side……………..Is there anything prettier than Blue and White? It conjurers up the sea and white sand beaches. Can you tell I grew up by the sea shore!………………There are so many accessory options with this Sea Blue, and I’ve only shown three………The GOLD NUGGET NECKLACE, anything Gold and bold looks great with Sea Blue………The TANGERINE SEED BEAD NECKLACE, J329589, is a beautiful contrast to the Sea Blue. They compliment each other beautifully……….and of course the Beach Glass Necklace and Earring set……….which brings back many wonderful memories. My mother used to collect beach glass and shells that she found walking on the beach. She would say to me, “come on Lou, come take a walk with me”, and off we would go walking the beach hunting for special shells and glass. This necklace has a special meaning for me, and I hope you enjoy it all………………………………much Love………………….Louis
