……………………….We are lucky enough to have beautiful lush Privet Hedges bordering our property……….It’s that time of year when they are in full bloom, and the air is intoxicating with their fragrance. The windows are wide open and their aroma is coming through them………………Jac LOVED the clean fresh smell of the Privet flowers, and couldn’t get enough of them…….One year Franco, our landscaper and caretaker, decided that they needed a trim…….Yes, he cut all the flowers off. By the time we noticed what he had done it was too late……they, and their beautiful smell was gone!!! Jac was devastated, and told Franco, in a very restrained voice, to NEVER cut the Privets again without her approval. She wanted them to grow wild, and to this day they never get cut until late in the season after all of the flowers are gone. and he asks if it’s OK. I guess Jac left an impression on him about her Privets…….I sit here at my computer, with the windows wide open, enjoying the lovely scent of the pretty white flowers…..thinking of Jac

……The roses up the drive are in full bloom…..Jac and I each year would take photos as soon as they reached their peek..The aroma is intoxicating!!!……Unfortunately , like all beautiful flowers, they don’t last long…

……………………..How are you all enduring the HEAT…..90 degrees here in sunny CT……….In this July O Magazine Oprah is featuring my tie dye skirt in Fuchsia…….The title is “To Dye For”!!!!!!! This is one “COOL’ skirt in every way. It’s very “IN” fashion, and “COOL” to wear in this humid hot weather, and I brought it to you LAST YEAR!!! It’s now on clearance and the colors are dwindling in sizes….BTW….we added the pic of our Ms. Brenda…………………You know what they say………..”once it’s gone…..it’s gone forever”………………….enjoy………………..much Love………………………Louis

It has come to my attention that UNTRUE claims and reviews were made concerning the J390525 necklace. The reviewers adamantly  stated the the beads were PLASTIC not GLASS. I don’t know what qualifications this reviewer has to make such bogus statements, but I can assure you without question that these beads are indeed ALL GLASS not plastic as was falsely claimed. The hot pink beads do have a color coating to achieve this particular color, but that is not uncommon when creating such colors on glass beads. We would never pass off plastic beads as glass. All tests that were made and required by QA certify that the beads are GLASS. So people who profusely make false statements should check the facts before posting such statements. As a courtesy they could have at the very least come here and asked me before posting on the Linea jewelry site……….I would hope in the future if anyone has questions or concerns they would ask me first before making definitive FALSE statements…..This is an attack on my integrity…………………thank you…………….Louis

……………………………The June 18th BIG DEAL is the CRINKLE GEORGETTE TROPICAL FLORAL PRINT CROP PANT, A351474 for the REGULAR, and A352729 for the PETITE……………You all know the fabric. It’s the same as my BOHO SKIRTS with the same TRICOT LINING….so you all know how COMFORTABLE and COOL these pants are going to be. This is an easy pull-on pant….no pockets. The inseam for the reg is approx. 25 inches. There is nothing close to the body or clingy about this pant…..It truly is about being absolutely comfortable in the heat and humidity of the summer….The leg is easy with a nice languid drape…….The print is a spaced out floral with lots of solid ground…..This is a “soft print”, not overpowering or LOUD!…The BLACK above has shades of BLUE, GOLDEN YELLOWS, REDS and GREENS…….The MOSS CREPE TEE, A353587, is very light weight and cool to the touch…..What I love about the tee is that it has a slight shape and follows the lines of the body so it is not boxy at all…very youthful……The SHORTER LENGTH is very FRESH……The length ranges from 23 to 25 1/8 inches for the missy and 25 1/2 to 27 1/4 for the plus. This length is a NECESSITY in you wardrobe. It you wear fuller skirts like the BOHO this proportion is so much better than a longer tee……The neckline is scooped, not too much, but enough to give you a cool open neckline. The sleeves are short. The colors above are BLACK and BLUE….The original GOLD MARDI GRAS picks up all the colors in the print, making it the perfect accessory……………This is a pant you can wear with flip flops and a white tee, or dress it up with the black and blue Moss Crepe tees and a POW necklace……….Every so often in the print you will see a BUTTERFLY hovering near a flower………..it’s GOOD LUCK!…………….enjoy…………much Love……………….Louis
