Morning, One of the Ladies made a suggestion about the DENIM DRESS that I thought I should repeat in case you didn’t see it. She didn’t like the tie at the bottom of the sleeve. Since the lace up on the sleeve is permanent, and the cord is separate, and is made to look like it’s all one, she simply removed the tie and turned the cuff back. I also turned the cuff back by releasing the tie to allow the cuff to turn back and then retying it. Both ways work perfectly………………..just “a thought”.

……………………..Our first official days at QVC were perfect…..The photos at the left are Jen, Chantal, Brenda, and Amy, on one of the many sets at QVC, selling the blouse with the handkerchief hem. The photos at the right are Jen in our Green Room getting ready….. Jen was under the impression that I would be out there with her so she was a little surprised when I told her “you’re on your own kid!”. As she said “Baptism with Fire”…..LOL……She did an incredible job. She is naturally poised, soft spoken, and confident…..These are three major characteristics I was looking for in my Brand Ambassador and Jennifer has them in spades…..and she looks great in the clothes! We, my Linea family, and the QVC family are all so happy to welcome Jen into the fold………….I look forward to many years working together………I know in my heart my Jac made this happen, and I know she is very happy!……………………..much Love…………………………Louis

Hello everyone…….Yesterday was a beautiful Spring Day…..in the low 70’s on the Ct. shore. Today is the total opposite. Cold, windy, and the sea looks angry. Heavy rains are coming. So, for my update. I have posted everything that was shipped for the month of April, but unfortunately that doesn’t mean that all of the pieces will make the show, and that is the case. I got my script for the 4/19 QVC1 show. I was working feverishly to get the order for samples and shoes in before the dead line. I have to order the clothes that go with the “scripted” items. For instance if we are selling the peasant shirt, which BTW is the first item in the show, I have to order all of the bottoms and shoes I want the models to wear. For all QVC1 shows I will always do this, but going forward for QVC2 shows I will have the stylist “style” the shows and put the looks together. They do it for almost everyone else……..I digress……..When I received the script the embroidered stripe shirt, the V-neck tunic and pant, and the maxi dress were not scripted, which means they are being held for a future show…….sorry…..I can’t wait to get the scripts to start posting my sneak peeks or I will never get my work done…..so I post them before the scripts arrive. It’s not to tease you….I do it for an economy of time. I asked the buyer if it were possible to post the items for pre-sale, but she doesn’t think the photos have been taken, because only scripted items get photographed. There are hundreds in a day. Some of the items I am showing in the show so you will be able to see them like the maxi dress will be with the new nugget necklace. I know you are disappointed….I was too, but these decisions are out of my control. I know you will enjoy the shows anyway…………….much Love………………Louis

There has been a change in my schedule. On 4/18 my QVC2 show is now at 2:00pm for one hour. I am also on the 4/19 QVC2 7:00am show with the new ombre color tunics.

…………….Coming up with a NEW COTTON shirt is always a challenge…..Do you really need more than a classic button down? Heck YES! Life would be so boring if that was the extent of you shirt wardrobe………With all of the various prints and solid colors of my skirts you already own, and the ones coming, I felt the need for a new type of cotton PEASANT SHIRT, A306539………………………….You already know the fabric well…..It’s my exclusive cotton twill and spandex cloth….The sizing will be XXS-3X…..This Peasant shirt has a RAGLAN LONG SLEEVE with a button cuff [you will see it long in the sneak peek of the WHITE version]. With this look I just prefer it rolled for a more casual attitude. It has an open button front with a curved shirt tail bottom. The MAGIC is the neckline. It is an open neckline with a draw string and elastic, so there is control. You can draw the front as much or as little as you like. That will control the opening of the neckline. Instead of the draw string being made in the self cotton fabric, I have used a DTM flat TWILL TAPE which has a SILVER METAL TIP…It’s much softer and easier to tie………..The color above is call MELON MIST and it’s a very appropriate name. It isn’t a bright color nor is it a washed out color. I think it is a beautiful complexion enhancing color. “THE LOOK”…..I have paired the Melon Mist shirt with my REORDER Boho print skirt, A287620, in the new PORT coloration. I have belted the blouse in a peanut brittle color belt. For jewelry I have chosen the new BEACH GLASS NUGGET necklace and earring set in ANTIQUE ROSE, J353997…..being presented on my 4/17, QVC2, 10:00pm show……A wonderful wedge, sandal or espadrille will finish the look off nicely. Take your sunglasses and a Market Straw bag and you are set to go……………Very summery, and lots of fun………………………………………………………enjoy……………………..much Love…………………………Louis
