……………………….THE BEACH!!!!!!!!…………………..The Calm, Clear Beautiful Aqua water, and white sand beaches are why we keep coming back…………..In the distance you can see the island of St. Maarten…………..It’s a great day trip, if it’s cloudy and you want to do some duty free shopping……We never made it over! We spend the day laying in lounge chairs under big umbrellas….reading. I got through three and a half books……Jac read five or six……I can’t keep up!…..In between reading…..dips into the Caribbean…….The white Moorish type building in the background is Pimms, the Cap Juluca restaurant. The view at night from the restaurant, when all the lights of the villas are on, is just incredible…………………..Glad to be home, but can’t wait to go back!

…………………Getting to Anguilla is always a trial, but so worth it. Once we arrive in St. Maarten, we are met by the Cap Juluca Hotel staff who takes our luggage and brings up to the dock where we wait for the launch to bring us over to Anguilla…….a 25 minute ride. When you arrive in Anguilla you can immediately sense a certain calm and peacefulness……that’s the wonder of the island……everything slows down…….Check in and on to our room………a quick change…..and into that aqua water!

…………………We’re back!!!! 10 beautiful days in Paradise went by so quickly! The weather couldn’t have been better. It was in the 80s everyday with cooling breezes and the most magnificent Aqua water to swim in……………..and the sunsets!……………………….more pictures to come……………………..Have a wonderful 4th of July Holiday…………………much Love………………………….Louis

To all the Linea Ladies dads and husbands……A Happy Father’s Day!

……………………Just when you thought you were finished with summer and you had seen the last ombre color for the season……………SURPRISE……………….SURPRISE!!!!!!!…………………………..

This is one of my newest colors………..CELADON……the  tunic style number is A263353……..You can see how one thing influences the other. Did the GREEN PATINA jewelry come first or the print? I can tell you it was the jewelry that inspired the Celadon color for the ombre. There are approx. nine to ten different screens of colors, one overlaying the other, to create the ombre effect. There are subtle taupes, and a variety of greens, starting at the bottom with a deep evergreen color and ending at the top with the palest celadon……….To be completely honest, when I said SURPRISE!, I was surprised to see these new ombre colors scripted in this June show too. They were scheduled to be part of my July TRANSITION show on the 10th. I guess since they were already in and processed…..why hold them almost another month…….I hope you like the three new colors I am offering you plus we are bringing back into inventory the very popular ALABASTER!….If you are wondering what is that beautiful green pant…..it’s new! It’s in the wonderful CREPE GAUZE….It’s a classic pull-on with an elastic top…..It has pockets…..It’s unlined……..It will be avail in Reg. and Petite lengths…….The color is IVY, and it will be avail on my July show!………………………….enjoy………………..much Love…………………………..Louis
