…………………..If you have ever traveled to the Islands of GREECE…than you are very familiar with this BLUE……The GLEAMING WHITE buildings are all accented with this particular shade of VIVID BLUE. Doors, shutters, wooden gates, chairs, tables, and even domes of buildings are painted in this beautiful blue…..Against all that white it is really something you will never forget…..With white painted window boxes and huge white and terracotta pots, over flowing with beautiful flowers. it truly is a fantasy land…..I can tell you from experience, a cardigan will be needed on some nights. It can get cold in the evening, and the wind can bring in a chill…………….I can absolutely see a very chic woman, going out in the evening in this outfit, with her party of friends, to a joyous Taverna. Many strings of lights light the tables below. An evening of laughter, great food and very cold crisp white wine will be had by all. I am lucky to have been in such parties on the Greek islands, with great friends…..and with the chicest woman I will ever know….Jac………….Great great memories with great friends who I am in close contact still to this day…….This is a cardigan, in a color you must own. It would be a shame to pass it by. It is such a statement with gleaming SILVER JEWELRY like the MAYAN necklace above, J393302….I must say the photo of this necklace on the Linea jewelry site has lost all of the life, sparkle and brilliance this necklace possesses. It is something that will bring a lot of attention…..I simply layered under the cardigan the light as air faux de Chine ivory tank, A399650, that went with the ivory lace jacket and Ivory Ponte pants……Both pieces summer must haves…..Whether you are going to Greece or not……bring a little Greece home to you with this beautiful Sapphire open front cardigan, A287608…………………….enjoy…………….much Love…………………..Louis

…………………………There is nothing more elegant than a woman dressed in all white or ivory from head to toe….with the only accent….her beautiful jewelry……….The open front WK cardigan, with the matching WK scoop neck elbow sleeve sweater, A347950, and either the ponte Ivory pant or skirt will create this look for you…………………Accessorize as you like. With such a clean bold palette, I like equally bold jewelry…..nothing timid will do. I have chosen the RUSSIAN GOLD TORTUE set, J361087….or the Organic bead set strung on gold chain and white cord, J360767……….Both are spectacular looks that will definitely put you in the category of “Best Dressed Woman” ………………….enjoy……………..much Love……………………Louis

………………………It isn’t always easy to mix colors or try color blocking and come out with an elegant sophisticated result………..BLACK, WHITE…..and PALE HEATHER GREY is full proof!. It is clean, and very simple, but packs a punch…..Now you may ask….why is he teasing us with the SCYTHE NECKLACE SET in the Silver and Black when he knows it’s SOLD OUT????? It’s not a tease….it’s coming back….and a new color will be added….The tease is….it won’t be here until this Fall……………….What is here is the SILVER TORTUE necklace and earring set, J361087…….One of my favorite spring/ summer color combinations is a pale grey with white. It is just so refreshing, and something you don’t often see women wearing. I think that is so, because the grey pieces aren’t always that available……This is a time-less color in two timeless outfits…………forever pieces……………………..enjoy…………..much Love………………….Louis

…………………If you only buy one cardigan………………..buy BLACK, but I’m sure once you own one, and see how well it works for you……you WILL come back for more……while they last….This WK cardigan wasn’t reordered three times without good reason……………..Just pop it over anything. It will be your go to cardigan………………..Of course I can’t resist BLACK….IVORY and GOLD………A brilliant woman architect, named Naomi Leff, worked on the Anne Klein store with me…She was best know for designing the Ralph Lauren store on 72nd Street…..a true marvel!…..The designer section of the store was all black and ivory with gold accents. Against the back wall there were, framed in black, gold screens with gold pegs at the upper center where we hung “Looks” from….One to each of the five panels. It was so elegant. This entire outfit would have looked magnificent hanging against the golden screen………….The Russian Gold Mayan necklace, J393302, is the perfect foil to give this easy combination of clothing the powerful finishing touch it deserves!…………………….enjoy……………..much Love………………………..Louis

………………….As summer approaches I thought it would be a good time to bring back some of my most favorite pieces…..and yours……The Tie Dye Boho skirt was one…..the SAFARI SHIRT & TANK, is another, A214117…..This shirt is on its’ 6th reorder for good reason………..We all agree what makes the perfect Summer garment. Something that’s COOL and COMFORTABLE…..Something that floats on the body and doesn’t CLING…..Something that is very easy to wash and doesn’t need extra care. You can check off each of those boxes when it comes to this shirt….plus more. The CRINKLE GEORGETTE fabric is SHEER but not so sheer that you wouldn’t find it appropriate for work or church. I have said it many times on TV that it isn’t easy to find a summer top with a sleeve that isn’t going to be warm to wear……This is that blouse. There is just enough sheerness to give it an edge……the look of a beautiful chiffon blouse. The matching tank in the faux de Chine is all you will need, and it too is light as air. The buttons are REAL SHELL….If you are a woman who doesn’t like to show her arms this is for you, because it doesn’t look like you are trying to HIDE them! However, no one can see what it is you don’t like………The sleeves roll up, or should I say drape up, and there is a tab and button to keep them in place. Side slits gives this a more breezy casual look…….The two top pockets with buttoned flaps give you added coverage, and adds to the “Safari Look”………………Really, can you ever go wrong with a sheer black shirt and white or ivory pants, A302544……..It’s always a modern, sophisticated, chic timeless look…………Now, what does a black shirt and ivory pants cry for….some fabulous jewelry………….I have chose my NEW MOROCCAN NECKLACE & EARRING set in the BLACK and SILVER OX, J477193. This is a necklace that was inspired from many pieces of jewelry I saw in North Africa……so it was the perfect combination with the safari shirt…The necklace was reproduced from a real Moroccan piece in my collection. What is also wonderful about this jewelry is how LIGHT WEIGHT AND comfortable it is. All of the metal fluted and ribbed beads are hollow, so they are literally weightless……a very important fact for the earring!………………..I hope they continue to reorder this blouse, because there are many more colors I’d like to do it in…..but like the BOHO skirt you never know when the end will come. Nothing goes on forever……………Check the Linea site for additional colors though they may be limited in sizes…………………………………enjoy…………………..much Love…………………..Louis
