“THE WHITE TEE WITH STUDS”

…………………………TEE SHIRTS are a summer staple. They are the garments you reach for every day, because they are easy, comfortable and and uncomplicated. With that in mind I think you need a variety of styles. Most are simple unadorned designs in wonderful summery colors, but every now and then I think of an embroidery or on rare occasions find a piece of hardware that I think looks expensive enough to use. This hardware fits that bill and MORE. These round metal disc “STUDS” have SUBSTANCE and DIMENSION. They are highly polished, and look like beautiful buttons. The advantage of them being studs and not buttons is you don’t have to deal with button holes, and you don’t have to worry about the buttons falling off………I call this tee, “THE CAPTAIN’S TEE”, A308470, because the studs on both shoulders just reminds me of the kind of decorations you would see on a captain’s shirt……it’s called creative license………………The tee is made in my SILKY light weight cotton knit, which as many of you already know from wearing and washing them, is a superior quality. The sleeves are short, the neckline is a crew, and there is a yoke on each shoulder where the studs are placed…..three on each shoulder…….I rarely use hard wear on anything, not because I don’t like it, but because I rarely find hard wear that I can afford, and that looks expensive. When I saw these studs I knew immediately I had to use them………I will be showing the white tee as you see it in the photos above with my new WHITE SUMMER WEIGHT DENIM SHORTS, A306294 REG. length and A306293 for the PETITE length…………I chose the NEW…….GEOMETRY NECKLACE and EARRING SET, J354000 [GEO for short], to accessorize this new Captain’s tee. It is perfect. I don’t honestly think you can find anything that works better. The HIGHLY POLISHED metal in the SILVERTONE looks great with the studs. The TRIANGLES, SQUARES and CIRCLES of the “Y” necklace are in perfect harmony with the studs on the Tee. The necklace isn’t too much or to little. It doesn’t clash with the studs at all. They compliment each other beautifully. I put this necklace in the same category as the Y Bar necklace. It’s a no brainer and works with everything. It’s not always easy to maintain a very casual look when you add jewelry. Sometimes adding the wrong jewelry makes the “look” more dressy then you would like. Sometimes dressy works, and sometimes you want to keep it simple, but you still want it to stand out….or else what’s the point of wearing it?…..The earring is a simple CUBE post [pierced only] from which a chain and a small TRIANGLE hang. It’s simple and makes just enough of a statement. These can easily be worn on their own or mixed with other silver jewelry you may already own…..like fabulous silver chains………………There will be days when all you want is your basic tee, but how much fun is this new version with the SILVER STUDS going to be to wear. You know women will want to know where you got it, and men will look admiringly!……………………………enjoy…………………………..much Love……………………….Louis

“THE GRASS GREEN TEE WITH STUDS”

…………………………….GRASS GREEN………………yes, it looks good with the Grass Green Tie Dye Boho skirt………….Grass Green and Orange, have been the silent successes of the season. Like everything else there is a time and a place for everything. Colors are no exception. Some seasons these are colors that no one is interested in, and it even becomes difficult for the buyers to accept them without a gentle push. After all, if I’m wrong, it’s a costly mistake. So these are the colors that are invested in the least. What am I saying……..if you want them don’t wait too too long.. The Grass Green is trimmed with the SILVER STUDS for a fresh clean look. The Geo set in Silver is once again the perfect accessory……………………Just as an aside I thought I would give you some style numbers of silver and gold shoes that I would show with these Tees…..so in you spare time you can play. From Vince Camuto, A306360, A306356, and if your looking for a fun RED STRAPPY, A306383 from Vince Camuto is lots of fun to wear with the navy look……………………From Franco Sarto……A411756, A411748, A411758, A411754, A412000. They are all different looks but I would show any of them…..I think I need to do my own shoes!……………Enjoy your new tees, because I know you will get more then one color!………..Love…………Louis

“THE SAPPHIRE CROP PANT & SAPPHIRE TEE”

………………………………There are TWO MORE NEW ITEMS coming your way………………The A308456 CROPPED PRINTED PANT in the reg. and the A308451 in petite. The pant and the  lengths are already listed on the Linea QVC site.  The the new V-NECK SHORT SLEEVE COTTON TEE, A308450, as of this writing is still to be posted…………………..Both fabulous items to add to your summer wardrobe……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

…………………..A year ago this month Jac and I took what was to be our last trip to our favorite island………….Anguilla…………..Jac was so happy. She was feeling great! Jac never thought she would ever make it back there so this was a very special trip……to be back at one of our favorite spots in the world……and feeling GOOD…..We were BLESSED………………..On one afternoon we moseyed over to the hotel boutique………Jac found these “silk” drawstring print crop pants on the rack and called me over. Jac thought they would be perfect for QVC and all of you! So I bought the pants and Jac wore them that night to dinner! She loved them, but wasn’t wild about the drawstring that kept slipping due to the silk……so on my Linea version I eliminated the drawstring. I also changed the print. The one I designed is similar to the original, but not exactly the same. Jac said she like my version better…..it wasn’t as bold…………The new version is in my polyester faux de chine. It is super light in weight and feels like you are wearing a pair of silk pants, but without the care necessary for real silk.. The Linea version also has an elastic waist band with TWO ROWS of stitching to keep the shirring nice and even [any sewer knows the difference between one and two rows], plus they prevent the elastic from twisting!………………POCKETS!!!! give you the comfort, ease and attitude you want when wearing a pant style like this…..Very relaxed and ready for a vacation, a stroll on the boardwalk, a dinner outside on a lovely patio will all be the perfect occasions to wear these fabulous pants…..They are like wearing nothing!……..Please notice the bottom detail of the pant, photo at the lower left. There are FIVE STRIPES to separate the bottom print from the pant leg print. They are the same print but done POSITIVE/NEGATIVE…..meaning the colors are reversed……….How you choose to wear these is up to you. I chose two options……the NEW CONVERTIBLE off the shoulder/on the shoulder top in black, A306416, or the new V-NECK TEE SHIRT in the matching SAPPHIRE. Both look great! One is a little more dressy, and the other a little more casual. Black, Ivory or White tops all look great with the Sapphire crop pant!

……………………The TEE is in my light weight COTTON KNIT, and is the same silky cotton as my A225482, classic tee. So many of you have asked for this version…..It is a superior cotton knit! It has substance without being heavy. When you put it on it immediately feels like QUALITY. The V-neck depth is modest. If anyone finds this too low, they shouldn’t wear v-necks….LOL…….The color is SAPPHIRE…………The necklace is my NEW INCA necklace that comes with a “PADDLE EARRING” as a set, the style number is J354004, and will be avail when I present my new BIG DEAL on the June 12th at 9:00pm on QVC2………………………………enjoy……………………much Love………………………….Louis
