…………………………The NOVELTY BEAD NECKLACE SET, J357120, has been posted on the Linea jewelry sight and is avail to order……I call this my BYZANTINE NECKLACE and EARRING SET, because it is a continuation of my Byzantine group from a few years ago. For some reason the people in charge of such things said I could no longer call it Byzantine because  you may be confused with the Byzantine link bracelet and necklace….OK, I certainly think you can distinguish between the two. I guess they don’t realize that Byzantine was an era not a specific style…….This new addition to the BYZANTINE group is 72 inches long, so it can be worn many different ways….doubled, tripled and quadrupled. The necklace is made with an open link chain. There are beads spaced  through out. Gold beads, color fluted and round beads, and enameled  ribbed oval beads decorate the chain. The companion earring has a lever back and a single round topaz bead with a deep red enameled rib bead. The Russian Gold gives the necklace the look of antiquity……..This is a wonderful necklace to wear on its’ own or mixed with other necklaces. On the right center photo, I have the necklace with the new HARP necklace J357131, coming soon. Below that photo I have two of the Byzantine necklaces for a lush rich look….I love to layer jewelry………This light weight necklace works on absolutely everything! Be sure to try it on your prints too……………….enjoy……………………….much Love……………………………Louis

………………………The SHADOW FLORAL, A343028, may very well be one of the prettiest prints I have ever done. To say it is sophisticated, chic, feminine, romantic, and totally DESIGNER would be an understatement………This is a PLACEMENT PRINT…..The flowers start at the upper right shoulder, and cascade down ACROSS the body to the lower left…….The printing is MASTERFUL……The screens and placement of color is expertly done…..It almost looks three dimensional…..SUPERB!…………..The color above is…..MAGENTA, but there are so many more colors in it. I call it the “Shadow Floral” because, what may at first glance look like a solid ground is actually a “shadow” of the floral print. All of the ground colors for all the blouses you will see are black, however the color of the shadow reflects the main color of the blouse, in this case a very dark magenta………….The fabric is NEW. It is a very GOSSAMER GEORGETTE. It may look somewhat sheer, but it is not see through on the body…It is soft and very light weight……like wearing nothing……It is approx. 28 1/2 inches for the XXS, so it could be considered a tunic length. Even at this length, the fabric is so light weight that it can easily be tucked into a pant or skirt…….The neckline is a shallow scoop, and is finished with a fine piping…….There is a center front INVERTED PLEAT with one additional pleat on either side.. This not only adds chest room, but gives the blouse a very romantic poet blouse effect. It drapes and flows over the body beautifully. The only measurement you need to be concerned with is the cross shoulder. The sleeves are long and have a two button narrow band cuff. There are side slits which allows the blouse to move and float when you walk……….The overall effect of the print is somewhat muted with some of the colors being slightly stronger for contrast. The cascading print is the same FRONT and BACK……………….Instead of going with a black pant I decided to use the BLACKBERRY Ponte pant which picks up the colors of the floral. I have used the PLUM NECKLACE SET, J356989 to accessorize the blouse……It’s just the right touch……………………I know this is a print and a blouse style you will love at first sight. It is so much more beautiful in person than any photo or showing on a model could capture………….This blouse will be on the Sat. at 7:00am QVC1 AM Style along with the dress which is third in the show…..When I saw the terrible pictures on the Linea site I had to post mine immediately!!!!!It is so much more beautiful then they made it look!…………………….enjoy………………………..much Love…………………………….Louis

……………………….Out of all the colors for this blouse, the ROSE SHADOW FLORAL is the most autumnal in feel. With its’ muted pumpkin, sienna, coral, gold, ivy and rose tones it really does conjure up everything we love about the fall………I have it paired with the BLACK MOSS CREPE SKIRT, A341729, also avail. in petite. The georgette is so light and fluid that it looks wonderful belted and bloused for that romantic look. If you are short waisted try belting it lower on the high hip, perhaps with a tie rayon cord belt……..I have used the BERRY NECKLACE set. J356989, to pick up the colors in the blouse………….I am sure you will get many admiring looks and the inevitable “where did you get that?”……………..enjoy……………………..much Love………………..Louis

…………………The SLATE BLUE SHADOW FLORAL has many shades of blue, grey, and a soft grey/green. For my jeans lovers this color blouse will be perfect. Wear it out and free flowing or tucked in and bloused. I have shown it above with the Navy Ponte Pant, 268216, but for a slightly more casual mood the blouse will look great with my new JEAN CUT COTTON/RAYON/SPAN pant, already a customer favorite, A341741 Reg. and A341742 Petite…….I have use the 42 inch station bead necklace in Blue for the final delicate touch…………………….enjoy………………much Love…………………..Louis

……………..The ORCHID SHADOW FLORAL…..is a very soft coloration with muted shades of orchid, lavender misty grey aqua, and taupe……There is so much more I could say about this blouse but a photo is worth a thousand words!……It looks perfect with the SUPER PONTE BOOT CUT PANT in the reorder TAUPE, A268216. This is a great color pant and works with everything…………………To accessorize the Orchid blouse I chose the station necklace in the multi. J356989…………………………enjoy……………………much Love…………………………Louis
