……………………It is rare that I offer religious pieces of jewelry, but I had a strong feeling that it was time…………It’s a very simple design, and a very wearable size. All measurements are given on the Linea jewelry site……The cross will be avail in Gold as above, Silver and Gunmetal all with a clear crystal They are so finely made that they look real………..I have named this cross “The Right Hand of the Father”. When you are wearing the cross the bezel set crystal is on the right side of the cross…….It’s not a fancy cross, but it makes an even stronger statement in its’ simplicity…………….. I thought this would be a wonderful cross to give as a present to someone close to you…..perhaps for Christmas…….J482468 is the style number……………………………enjoy………………………….much Love……………………….Louis

…………..I have all of the jewelry sneak peeks pre-done just waiting for them to be posted, so it doesn’t take much effort for me to go from the couch to the computer and hit PUBLISH……………I am always interested in creating something simple, but with a statement……easier said than done………A piece that you can throw on with a sweater or dress and not have to think if it’s appropriate……if it’s too much or too little…..the Goldilocks syndrome…………..I think the Radiant Ring Necklace, J482474, answers the question……..It will always look right!. The necklace, or pendant, is made of many interlocking rings that have a radiant cut which gives off lots of sparkle when the light hits it just so. The rings are hung from a Snake Chain that is easily removed so you can switch with other chains or cords you may have…..If you want it shorter double the chain……The EARRING, J482470, is a lever back pierced earring which is made up of five very fine rings all with the same radiant cut. They are very light weight according to the women who have tried them on….They all found them extremely comfortable, and could see them worn with many things as a separate earring……….The ROLLER BRACELET, J482470, has many radiant cut rings also, and will be offered in a small, regular and large sizes……This bracelet has a more delicate look than the classic roller due to the fine slim rings…………..Every woman needs a selection of pieces she can rely on without too much thought, put it on and go…..These are just the pieces…………….enjoy……………………….much Love……………………………..Louis

…………………………..GLEAMING SILVER is modern and cool………….If the photos look like gunmetal that is only do to my poor photography! I guarantee they look what you would expect silver jewelry to look like….GLEAMING and BRIGHT………..I have already shown these pieces with the Dove Grey leather jacket………….It’s the perfect accessory……………….enjoy…………………….much Love……………………..Louis

Morning everyone…..I have unfortunately come down with the flu….I went to my doctor on Sat. and he told me I’m not going anywhere. He gave me strict instructions, and medications. I haven’t had the flu in many many years, because I always get a flu shot. This year the flu got me before I could get my shot. To say I feel horrendous is an understatement. I forgot how debilitating the flu makes you feel. I know you are disappointed, but there’s nothing I can do. Of course Jennifer, who is great, will take over. I had Lou, my dog sitter and my nurse! send all of the samples and accessories down to Jennifer just in case this turned for the worse, so she is up to date on everything. You will see the show as I intended. I will be home, along with you, watching the BIG DEAL being presented…..cheering Jennifer on…..Jen and I have had long conversations about the show so she’s more than ready…..The blazers look great, and the more I see what a STRONG TREND they are for this fall and next spring 2020, I know making them the Big Deal was the right thing to do. My advise is to order your size. These are an easier fit than the Crepe Gauze blazers so I know you will be perfect in your normal numerical size…..I will be here laying on the couch watching TV, and falling asleep, so if you have questions now or during the show I will try to answer them…………………….Back to bed with me………………..much Love……………………….Louis

I have been catching up on the new Spring runway shows on “VOGUE . COM”…..When you have a spare second give it a look see….I think you will find it interesting! So far the Americans and the Brits have shown. They are all off to Italy and the shows should be posted soon….then PARIS……………ONE THING IS FOR SURE! It’s starting in a big way this Fall 2019, but it’s going to EXPLODE for Spring 2020…….BLAZERS ARE “THE JACKET”………Forget every other kind. I barely saw anything but BLAZERS. Most shows started with models wearing BLAZERS. They came in  checks, prints, tuxedos [mine is still avail if you haven’t gotten one…..it’s fabulous!]….You describe the type of blazer and it was on the runway…..but mostly PLAIDS and SOLIDS!!!!! ……I TOLD YOU SO!!!! I have never seen so many blazers on runways in my lifetime……..Two years ago there was scarcely one, but I told you they were coming. I could feel it in my bones…….Most of the blazers were classic in shape…Some had trendy sleeves and tricky details that will be great for one season and then feel dated. They are good for the woman with an unlimited expense account…..90%  of the blazers are long….very few short ones….all are beautifully tailored…….The colors ranged from you classic black, white and navy to all kinds of colors depending on the designers message. I just watched the Burberry show, one of their best in years and the colors were BLACK, WHITE, TAN and lots and lots of DOVE GREY…Dove Grey mixed with Tan and white in one outfit started the show and it was a beautifully executed blazer suit………The DOVE GREY….think my Lamb leather jacket…..it’s an exact match!….Besides Blazers on the Burberry runway there were TRENCHES TRENCHES and more TRENCHES…..lots of scarf prints as accents………..Lots of what was on the runways was also pure TRASH…….Does anyone really need to be shocked fashion wise??? There’s enough “shocking” going in in the world as it is! After you see one or two shows like this it becomes one blurring bore! I have to say the shows that I remember that I’ve seen so far were very wearable with beautiful details and fabrics. Oscar de la Renta was one of these shows. I thought it was much better then want this designing duo team has offered in the past. With this show the spirit of the house was well represented without look retro. Michael Kors always has good things though I found it lacking in newness. It relied too much on  cliche preppy though there were some beautiful things. I always think of his line as a paler version of RL . Can’t think of who else I liked. In England I liked Victoria Beckman. She’s getting better and better with each collection…..REAL CLOTHES for real women…and Burberry was outstanding……..One thing is for sure if you are looking for beautiful wearable clothes that will last for years they were well represented….If your taste goes more for the outrageous you will be happy too…………………..Remember one thing…..These clothes range from the upper hundreds and way up into the thousands…..I look forward to see what the Italians come up with……They have the best workmanship in the business……….Many designer lines from all over the world including the French are produced in Italy……I was asked to check out the blazers being featured at Neimans……One designer in particular has a plethora of beautiful blazers in a range of fabrics. What I found surprising was the majority of them were polyester or poly rayon and they were mostly $600 and up! Excuse me, but I’ll put my Plaid Big Deal up against any of these and mine is a poly/rayon span blend for a fraction of the price!…….Ladies this is the TIME to get on the BLAZER BAND WAGON…..Be ahead of the curve instead of a follower……don’t lag behind……This is one of the biggest realistic trends I’ve seen in years……..I only wish I could have offered you even more blazers!……………….enjoy……………………….much Love………………………..Louis
