………..The FUCHSIA is a beautiful combination of deep aquamarine, a touch of green, blues, purples, fuchsia and blue iris all detailed with black…..The Blue Cathedral jewelry is doing double duty as it is the same color jewelry I’ve shown on the Blue Cathedral top……….Short skirts, long skirts boho black skirts all work. Black dress pants or indigo jeans will both work into your lifestyle…….Wear it with any black jacket…..Maybe you already own the Deep Magenta leather zip front jacket, which looks great with this top….I believe there are still a few to be had…………………………………………………………

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

……………….,..The ALMOND Cathedral Print is the most neutral of them all. It has ESPRESSO detailing with ivory, beige, almond, and alabaster colors. The deeper spearmint blue green and mint are the accent colors…….I have it shown above with two different bottom colors. They are both the Super Ponte Boot Cut pant in the Alabaster [for spring], and the new Espresso for all year round. Perhaps you have my WALNUT JEAN CUT PANT? It works perfectly with all the tops that have the Espresso in them….. The ALMOND CATHEDRAL NECKLACE & EARRING is used to perfectly accessorize the top. I have found in playing with all of these necklaces they work with so many other things…………………..enjoy…………………..much Love…………………Louis

…………………By now a great many of you have purchased either the original short Trench Coat or the newer longer version. Some of you even own them both and in more than one color. I don’t have to tell you what great quality they are, and they certainly rival coats that cost thousands of dollars….literally…………I have sort of taken the trench coat as my mantle, though I can not claim to be its’ originator. I have told you how the trench coat was “born”. A coat was commissioned by the British Government during WW1 to be designed and manufactured by a small men’s company call Burberry………It was to be worn by the soldiers fighting in the “TRENCHES”…….hence the name……..All of the details on the coat had specific purposes….for instance the epaulettes were used to hold their rifle straps so their hands would be free…..The double belt loops were for different height men etc…..My newest incantation is made in FAUX SUEDE, the same quality as the faux suede I used last fall for the slim pant…..The style numbers are A343444/reg. and A343445 petite……EVERY DETAIL of this fully lined Double Breasted coat is the same as my original Trench coat. The trench collar with the metal hook and eye closure, the epaulettes, the trench flaps front and back, the buttoned band pockets, the double belt loops, the sleeve straps with buckles, the belt with buckle, and the back vent are all here in this fully lined coat……….The LODEN color coordinates beautifully with all of the Loden pieces including the PLAID BLAZER, A366537, the new MOSS BLOUSE, A367141, the LODEN PANTS in Super Ponte, A268216/A303147, and the lighter weight Ponte LODEN KNIT PANT, A366190…..You will find that LODEN is a very NEUTRAL COLOR, and there is very little you can’t wear with it…..This is one of those special pieces that is going to be very difficult to choose just one color…….Coats like this rarely cross your path……….A370421 is the style number……………enjoy……………much Love……………….Louis

……………The versatility of the Loden Trench is endless…………..Above, I have layered the trench with the Loden CREPE GAUZE blazer, A366195, the CAMO PRINT blouse, A351472, the Loden BOOT CUT KNIT pant, A366190….all creating a very EUROPEAN look. If a tonal look pleases you switch the print for the SAGE blouse and scarf, A367141…..or for a little color the CRANBERRY [shown above], or the SAPPHIRE BLUE…………..ALL COLORS will work with Loden……Red, Violet, Lavender and Iris,  Lime, Turquoise, Aqua, Pinks, Fuchsia, Magenta, Cream and Alabaster..etc etc…….I’m sure you have  a closet full of WK sweaters that will work perfectly including your Dark Olive TN buried in a draw………………..PLAY……………….enjoy………………………..much Love……………Louis

……………………..There is something extraordinary about a truly DEEP RICH ESPRESSO BROWN, A370421…..The smaller pictures and the full length picture to the extreme left capture the color best. I’m showing the Espresso coat with the belt tied, double knot, in the back, because I wanted you to see that there is a shape to this coat. There are princess seams that curve to the body, not too much to make it fitted, but just enough so it isn’t straight. All of the previous Trench coats have these seams…..This also prevents the coat from being bulky when you belt it.. The Espresso Super Ponte pant, A268216/A303147 matches very well, but there are many other options, such as black, navy, charcoal grey, deep wine, dark forest green etc…..and of course JEANS……..Again, Espresso is a very neutral color and can be mixed with any color you choose….from POWDER BLUE, PALE LILAC and PINK to move vivid shades as the Cranberry above……….The necklace is coming. It’s my GRAPEVINE necklace and Earring set. It’s a tiered necklace of Wine pearls and faceted Russian Gold beads, and will be avail in two other combinations………………..I know you will love it………………..it’s very special…………………………enjoy……………………….much Love………………….Louis
