…………………………This is a beautiful, flattering lady like color…….a lovely pale shell pink. The BLACK windowpane and contrast collar and cuff really give the pink a wonderful exclamation. Again, wear it with white, and any black pieces you own from the Ponte pencil skirt above. and with a beautiful black sling back tea cup heel, or slim ankle pants in my light weight Ponte with a ballet flat or strappy sandal…………..Open you Linea jewelry trove and pull out your PINK Faceted glass beads from seasons ago for a gentle look….or your BLACK LORD OF THE RING necklace and earring or your BLACK FISH or your BLACK EGYPTIAN pendant or your GUNMETAL SCYTHE necklace….on and on and on. For dressier occasions…….your BLACK JET TASSEL, your BLACK JET GLITTERATI, your BLACK JET and PEARL MOON GLOW…..on and on and on…….For something NEW & BOLD the new NUGGET pieces in BLACK, BLACK, BLACK!…..Really…..you just can’t go wrong!!!……….As they say………”Pretty in PINK”………………………..enjoy………………..much Love…………………Louis

……………………..This is a light soft pretty yellow…not a bold in your face bright taxi cab yellow…….I think the cabs are totally gone now…..too bad the old ones were so BIG inside…………..This YELLOW is accented with NAVY. The turn back cuff and under collar are all solid NAVY………..Pull out everything you own in navy and it should work with this top! JEANS, denim of all colors….from the darkest indigo to the most washed out blues should all work………Wear everything from strappy sandals, clogs, wedges, and sneakers depending on the occasion and your lifestyle…..Yellow and gold are a natural match, so to keep it on the casual side I have chosen the NEW 20th ANNIVERSARY PENDANT!!!!! YES ladies, this year I have been with QVC 20 years. I will have been with QVC longer than I was with ANNE KLEIN…..it’s hard to believe……………the years just go by…………….I can’t say they flew…….buy they went!……………………………………..

enjoy……………..much Love…………………….Louis

…………………….The LIGHT AQUA color is like a transparent Aquamarine Gem…….It’s a beautiful tint of color, but more of a tint than my photos may show….LOL……..The black accents make it so easy to pull it all together…………………….I absolutely LOVED the VERDIGRIS GRECIAN NECKLACE, BRACELET and EARRING with this Aqua top. The Verdigris is deeper than the aqua so it really brings out the color…..I didn’t check, but I would venture to say that it is probably a good bet anything you already own in Verdigris like the original 72″ bead necklace with the matching bracelet and earring will also be great with this top. It was so long ago I can’t remember what the name was? The Verdigris Fish, the Scythe, the Lord of the Rings, the Egyptian pendant  etc etc will all work…..PLUS the TURQUOISE GLITTERATI necklace and earring. As you can see BLACK jewelry [as the new necklace above] is a natural…..so dress it up with jets or down with your black fish and your ready for any occasion…..Again, the new BLACK NUGGET necklace will go with so much of what you already own…..I’m sure it will be a go to necklace!…………………….enjoy your new WINDOWPANE JACKETS…..The problem will be ….which color?????……………………………much Love………………………..Louis

……………….”HAVE THE BEACH COME TO YOU!”…………………The Cowrie Shell necklace, J485360, is like having the beach around your neck……Things from nature are miraculous…..and shells are in the EXTRAORDINARY category………The Cowrie Shells are things of beauty. Their oblong domed shape have wonderful markings starting with an dark espresso brown at the outer edges which blends to a pale ivory center. On top of it all are these animal like spots. Of course no two are alike…..like no two humans are totally alike, even identical twins…….or another miracle of nature…..snowflakes……The underside of the Cowrie shell is just as beautiful and unique as the top so it doesn’t matter what side shows. The SEVEN shells are hung from a perfectly proportioned golden chain. The SIX smaller sells are RIMMED IN GOLD….just to give the necklace a little more pizzazz……I remember as a child holding a big CONCH shell up to my ear, and I could actually hear the sea. I thought it was magic!………….Jewelry in the color of brown is very hard to find other than wood, so the Cowrie shells become even more desirable IMO…………..Above, are just a few examples of how I can see this necklace being worn…….The new Espresso Shantung jacket with an ivory tank and the new ivory trouser pant……the new ivory crepe gauze shirt/jacket………….the new mocha lace insert top…..and the wonderfully simple Espresso Moss Crepe top over my off white “beach” pant has a classic spectator look. The Shell necklace brings it to another lever….Also, not shown above, is the OMBRE CARAMEL LEOPARD TUNIC that looks fabulous with the Cowrie necklace……..There just isn’t anything that compares to things from nature. That is the reason I believe this timeless necklace is a true thing of beauty……………………………enjoy…………much Love…………………….Louis

………………………..I practice what I preach when I say “PLAY”………………A beautiful soothingly calm look is the BUTTERCREAM satin shirt and tank with the new Light Tan Cargo pant. I think those two colors are magic together…..soft and lovely…………..The Cowrie Shell necklace is the perfect compliment……..For a walk on the wilder side the Necklace also looks fabulous on the new STATUS TUNIC. The colors and patterns of the shells play right into the animal patterns of the print………….There is something about Cowrie shells and animal prints that is just so right……..With summer close by it’s the perfect time to think about the Cowrie necklace……I have often wondered WHERE the African tribes like the Masaai and Samburu get all the shells they use for their incredible jewelry……..I know they don’t go to a local store and buy them!!??…………………………..enjoy……………….much Love………………………Louis
