Beautiful Linea holiday show!

mam2fourboys — Mon, 19 Nov 2018 13:48:34 GMT

Caught the show just after waking this morning. I have been waiting to see the pearl sweater and necklace on the models and thought they were all so lovely! So very feminine! My husband said to get whatever I wanted for Christmas so I decided on the lilac sweater and necklace....just feel like I need a bit of color this time of year, even though I was very drawn to the pink and gray. Louis looked great and it was a nice way to start my day with a cup of coffee, watching the sunrise.

Okay Linea ladies....what did you think and what Linea outfits are you wearing for the holidays? Hugs to all of you!

@mam2fourboys How wonderful to chose your Christmas gift! I watched some of the videos - always enjoy seeing how Louis styles all the models.

i will be wearing Whisper Knits, Velvet and Boho Skirts for the Holidays! We’ve already had a bit of snow - and it’s cold!

Wishing you and your Family a very Merry Christmas!

@Seka, Merry Christmas to your family too! We have had snow twice and I always love the winter wonderland feeling of the first few snows (don’t ask me in March or April). I have happy memories of being in Guelph last year as it was the beginning of healing and pain relief for my son. We hope to visit just for fun in the future.

Have fun in your velvets and whisper knits! Hugs!

@mam2fourboys- kudos to hubby!! My hubby watches Louis's shows with me....LOL. Louis did look good even though I know the anniversary of Jac's passing is approaching. I don't particularly care for that host this morning but I'll live.

I am ordering the grey pearl sweater, I was on the fence but I decided to go for it.

I already wore J358184 Crystal Cluster necklace to an event at my church with my own pearl drop earrings. I wore it with a red sheath dress I got from Joan Rivers collection and to my surprise A268129 the wing collar woven tunic with french cuffs in the red matched the dress to perfection so I wore it as a jacket.

@Luvitorleaveit1 That is so wonderful that your hubby watches with you! Lucky lady you are. It would be nice to get outfit input from my husband before I buy, but he likes most everything Linea anyway. Although he has watched all 5 hours of Pride & Predjudice with me so many times that he almost has it memorized, the Linea shows are just me.

Your red outfit sounds smashing and I’m sure that necklace drew everyone’s attention...all the sparkle. We all need some sparkle in our lives, don’t we?

I am thinking of Louis especially this time of year too. Such a dear, sweet man.

Merry Christmas to you and your family!

@mam2fourboys- my hubby convinced me to buy the cluster necklace when it was presented LOL I told him I have so many pearl necklace's but I 'm glad I caved and ordered it it's definitely in a lane of it's own and so much more versatile than I thought. I must say all eyes and compliments were on my necklace.

Merry Christmas to you and your family as well!

I recorded the show and am anxious to watch it and see how he styled various pieces I’m unsure how to wear. I received my velvet tops already and while I love the style and the colors (black and the stunning blue), the sleeves feel a bit short to me. I’m curious to see how they are on the models.

Didn't see the show, but checked the video to see how Louis styled the tuxedo jacket. Paired with the sequin pants, of course, was exquisite ... but Brenda in the white shirt and jeans ... WOW, loved that look!

Why that show host is a mystery to me, though ... she just wouldn't shut up and let Louis tell us about it!

Re: Beautiful Linea holiday show!

Luvitorleaveit1 — Mon, 19 Nov 2018 15:41:33 GMT

@SoX- I know what you mean about the host this morning; there's another thread in the fashion forum talking about the same thing.

I recorded the show to watch later but what a bummer first thing in the morning I definitely wasn't expecting that and you could tell as I mentioned on the other thread that Louis is a professional but the host/designer chemistry was not there at all.

I felt so bad for Louis this morning! We, all, know this is a very difficult time for him and to be asked about the holidays was heartbreaking. She has no clue on wearing an outfit, presenting the outfits, etc. I won't belabor the point. It seemed they overpacked a one hour show, it should have been longer. When Louis mentioned sneak peaks on the new jewelry, the camera did not zoom in so we would be able to see it. Louis looked uncomfortable. Loved all the items presented! The tuxedo jacket is amazing! Well, at least, he will get a rest from QVC until the New Year!

Oh boy. Curious now who this host was. Can’t find the thread in the fashion forum.

@crazycockermom. It's in the forum 'Suggestion Box'.

Louis mentioned on his website that the black and mushroom pants will not be reordered in any colors at all due to the high return on the pants that had matched the blazer. Weren't these the ones that had shipping problems because of the hurricane? I do not understand how the returns on these could be that high that would warrant them being pulled from his line. There is something wrong. I do not know what QVC's problem is lately but it seems to be getting worse and it's not just on Linea. There seems to be very big problems at QVC that are not being addressed!

Someone should have told the host re holidays and Louis. The models and some hosts know about Jac. Thanksgiving is a very difficult day for me. It was my mother's favorite day of the year. She worked six days a week but managed to have twenty for Thanksgiving dinner. She died on Thanksgiving. People are constantly asking me what I'm doing on Thanksgiving. It is painful and she's been gone a long time.

On a lighter note one of my cousins, a man of few words, said she died on T so we'd get together one more time.

@proudlyfromNJ
Thanks - found it.

Nooooo!!!! Why QVC? Didn’t you learn the first time that this is a horrible pairing?? I remember the first time I watched her with him. So difficult to watch. Are you trying to punish Louis??? 😡😥

GraceCO — Tue, 20 Nov 2018 15:22:47 GMT

I mentioned this in my post in the other thread. Noone needs to tell her. If Kristine Zell had prepared and done her homework, she'd know the first anniversary of Jac's passing is coming up and wouldn't have been so insensitive asking Louis if he has "partying" plans during the holidays. The look on Louis' face said it all...

This host is way out of her league hosting a Linea show and I don't understand why they pair her with Louis.

JustJazzmom — Mon, 19 Nov 2018 17:21:04 GMT

I have it on the DVR to watch later. I haven’t seen the thread in Suggestion Box yet. Will read it next.

Thanksgiving was very tough the 1st year my Mom died. We went to my Dad’s house for Thanksgiving. She’s been gone now for close to 33 years.

Anyway, as it gets closer to December 12th, I’m going to repost somewhere here on this forum so it doesn’t get poofed about the donating to Massachusetts General in memory of Jac again.

Many do not realize how sensitive holidays are for those who are bereaved. Let's just say not until they experience a loss themselves do some folks "get it."

I will never forget a woman in my office and what she said to me the first Thanksgiving my sons and I would have without my husband, their father. He had passed away at the beginning of October, I had taken off six weeks to strengthen myself emotionally and had only just returned to the office.

This clod had this to say in a BUOYANT, dismissive manner that, to this day, I think was purposely meant to hurt me. (There are jealous women among our colleagues, as much as we hate to admit it.) "Happy Thanksgiving! Oh, yeah, not you."

It still smarts. At that moment I knew how much she really resented that I had been given many of her significant duties. (I was fairly new to the office and was continually given duties of increasing challenge and importance.)

It is best to exercise extreme caution when speaking of the holidays around those who are learning to adjust to life without a loved one.

GraceCO — Mon, 19 Nov 2018 17:47:56 GMT

I don't even think one has to experience significant loss in their own lives to be sympathetic to others. Isn't it just the common decency and sensitivity of being human. Most of us will never experience a devastating fire or hurricane in which we lose everything, but we can imagine what that feeling would be like and soften our words with those who've gone through it. The same applies, I think, to someone who has the position as a show host whose voice has an impact. At least, try to get it right and strike the right tone. I mean, who at QVC didn't know about Jac's passing? You'd have to be living in a cave.
