“ONE YEAR AGO WE WERE IN PARADISE”

…………………..It’s hard to believe that our last trip to Anguilla was one year ago.  This was a trip Jac and I both thought we would never make. Jac was so happy to be back at one of her most favorite places in the world, and I was happy we could be there together…………….Jac was feeling good……..and All was right in our world………..I wish we were there right now………………

“A HEADS UP”

Hi everyone……I have been crazy busy. I got home at 1:30 am on Thursday morning, went to bed, got up and started working on the shows for next week. I barely unpacked the bags! These shows especially the 6/20, 1:00am show on QVC1. will basically be my round up for summer. July we start transition/fall, not heavy clothes but fall-ish looking. Clothes you can still wear in the summer, but they will really be appreciated come Sept. when summer is officially over………….All of the remaining new items will be on either this 1:00am show or Mary Beth’s Closet on the 21st at noon, and then again on the 21st at 7:00pm on Jayne’s Closet [everyone has a “Closet” show these days], where I will first show the V-neck Tee and the print crop pant. I know the pant was posted early by the Q and some of you have already received and love it. Jayne’s show, for me will be the end of all the new summer items. There are some really terrific things on these shows which are all on the main channel………Then on the 20th….at 4:00pm on QVC2, I will be doing my second LINEA JEWELRY SHOW. I will be with Nancy Hornback so that should be fun. I really love Nancy. She’s a super lady…………….enjoy, and I’ll see you all next week….now, back to work for me!

“THE CARNIVAL NECKLACES ARE HERE!”

…………………………The CARNIVAL necklaces are back in stock. They must have been able to order a few more than the wait list order they already had, but I can tell you the quantities are LOW, so do not hesitate if you want another color……………I know there are quite a few of you who said you got one color and wish you had ordered another. This is your opportunity. Don’t let it slip away again. It will take another year to get, and that’s IF it gets reordered again. To have an item back within the season it was presented is unheard of. The only reason this can even happen is the production time on jewelry is shorter then apparel…….see you tonight at 9PM , QVC2 for the BIG DEAL and other surprises!!!!…………..enjoy………………..much Love………………Louis

“THE BLACK BIG DEAL”

…………………………..A307191……………Is the “BIG DEAL” for June…………It is a MOSS CREPE……FIT & FLARE TOP. It has a V-neckline and 3/4 sleeves. The length for the xxs is approx. 27 1/2 inches. There is also a very slight high/low hem…..only about 1 inch to 1 1/2 inches. It’s hardly noticeable, but just makes the top a little more graceful as you turn, plus a little extra coverage. There are bust darts for shaping. There is also a horizontal seam from which the “peplum” hangs……..This seam is raised from the waist line, and for the xxs is approx. 14 1/2 inches down from the high point shoulder [the point where the shoulder and the neck meet]. I consider this a raised waist seam. Why do I think it looks better for this style seam to be raised? It is always a better proportion when the “skirt” part of the garment is longer than the bodice. It is more slenderizing. When the seam sits closer to the waist it can accentuate the hips and the tummy areas. With the raised seam the flare can start a little higher which allows the garment to glide over these areas. This is not an extremely fitted top, but if you would like a closer to the body fit that is an easy alteration. You have the two side seams plus a center back seam to work with…..The Moss Crepe is a season-less fabric. It may not be the garment you reach for when you are going to spend your day outside, and the temperatures are well over 85, but if most of your day will be spent in the air conditioning, from house to car, from car to work or car to store, then this top is ideal. Moss Crepe is also the best travel fabric. It washes easily and packs like a dream………Above, I have the BIG DEAL top with my Ponte Crop pant in the Linen color, A302601, which is avail RIGHT NOW in many sizes. I believe this crop pant may be reordered for next spring, but until the order is in that is only the “plan” for now………………I chose the NEW INCA NECKLACE and PADDLE EARRING SET, J354004, to accessorize the new top and I think it’s perfect. The color above is GOLD OX. The oxidation adds black to the piece so all of the details are accentuated. It also gives the piece an aged look…..like something you found in the Souk in Marrakesh…….Both sides of the hanging pendant are exactly the same, so if it should flip while you are wearing it it won’t matter. In the close up of the pendant you can see the amount of detail there is in this piece. Even the smaller inner triangle is detailed in a mini version of the larger triangle. The earring [pierced only] is made from one of the hanging “paddles” of the pendant. If you already own the matching INCA EARRING, J354070, it will match perfectly!………You should know…..this TRIANGLE INCA EARRING is BACK IN STOCK in all colors!!!!! It’s fabulous with the pendant, but more importantly it is a wonderful statement earring on its’ own. This set will be avail in the GOLD OX, SILVER OX and COPPER OX, so there will be a color to go with everything you own……………………………………………………………………

…………………………enjoy………………..much Love……………………Louis

“THE ALABASTER BIG DEAL”

……………………….The…..ALABASTER….color has become a LINEA SIGNATURE COLOR. There are so many women who love how this very special shade of cream looks on them. It is always one of the “best sellers”. When the buyers asked if we could do this top in Alabaster I didn’t hesitate. It is such a marvelous color with ANY bottom color from the classic black [above in the slim pant, A265615], brown, navy and grey….to your more fashion colors of olive, wine, port, teal etc. It is also the perfect back ground for all of your Linea jewelry including the NEW INCA set or the Wood and Brass bead necklace and earring set above, J353996, which is now getting very limited. I have no plans to do more wood jewelry in the near future so now is the time to get the pieces if you want them………………………….enjoy……………much Love………… Louis
