Morning, One of the Ladies made a suggestion about the DENIM DRESS that I thought I should repeat in case you didn’t see it. She didn’t like the tie at the bottom of the sleeve. Since the lace up on the sleeve is permanent, and the cord is separate, and is made to look like it’s all one, she simply removed the tie and turned the cuff back. I also turned the cuff back by releasing the tie to allow the cuff to turn back and then retying it. Both ways work perfectly………………..just “a thought”.

……………………..Our first official days at QVC were perfect…..The photos at the left are Jen, Chantal, Brenda, and Amy, on one of the many sets at QVC, selling the blouse with the handkerchief hem. The photos at the right are Jen in our Green Room getting ready….. Jen was under the impression that I would be out there with her so she was a little surprised when I told her “you’re on your own kid!”. As she said “Baptism with Fire”…..LOL……She did an incredible job. She is naturally poised, soft spoken, and confident…..These are three major characteristics I was looking for in my Brand Ambassador and Jennifer has them in spades…..and she looks great in the clothes! We, my Linea family, and the QVC family are all so happy to welcome Jen into the fold………….I look forward to many years working together………I know in my heart my Jac made this happen, and I know she is very happy!……………………..much Love…………………………Louis

Hello everyone…….Yesterday was a beautiful Spring Day…..in the low 70’s on the Ct. shore. Today is the total opposite. Cold, windy, and the sea looks angry. Heavy rains are coming. So, for my update. I have posted everything that was shipped for the month of April, but unfortunately that doesn’t mean that all of the pieces will make the show, and that is the case. I got my script for the 4/19 QVC1 show. I was working feverishly to get the order for samples and shoes in before the dead line. I have to order the clothes that go with the “scripted” items. For instance if we are selling the peasant shirt, which BTW is the first item in the show, I have to order all of the bottoms and shoes I want the models to wear. For all QVC1 shows I will always do this, but going forward for QVC2 shows I will have the stylist “style” the shows and put the looks together. They do it for almost everyone else……..I digress……..When I received the script the embroidered stripe shirt, the V-neck tunic and pant, and the maxi dress were not scripted, which means they are being held for a future show…….sorry…..I can’t wait to get the scripts to start posting my sneak peeks or I will never get my work done…..so I post them before the scripts arrive. It’s not to tease you….I do it for an economy of time. I asked the buyer if it were possible to post the items for pre-sale, but she doesn’t think the photos have been taken, because only scripted items get photographed. There are hundreds in a day. Some of the items I am showing in the show so you will be able to see them like the maxi dress will be with the new nugget necklace. I know you are disappointed….I was too, but these decisions are out of my control. I know you will enjoy the shows anyway…………….much Love………………Louis
