Hosts Wearing Linea

beach-mom — Thu, 12 Nov 2020 06:51:42 GMT

Yesterday, November 11, two hosts, Mary Beth and Mary, both were wearing Linea jackets! Of course they both looked great! I didn't watch their whole shows but saw part of them and noticed this. I meant to post earlier but got busy!

@beach-mom - I was going to post the same thing! I also saw Carolyn wearing one as well. I think Jane may have as well. I have them both as they have different personalities. Waiting for cooler weather to wear them.

I went back and took a peek at their shows. They both look great in their Linea jackets. I think MaryBeth seems to order a lot of Linea, if I remember correctly. At least these lovely jackets are getting more exposure. The 2:00 am Linea show times, with only one show per month, hasn't been doing much to show off all the incredible, lovely designs from the fall/winter season. I wouldn't have known to buy all of these things if I hadn't seen them on Louis' website with all of his wonderful pictures and videos. The videos are especially wonderful. The way he puts all of the outfits together with different pieces really helps.

@DecorDiva & @beach-mom Do you have any item numbers for the jackets?

The other day Jane was wearning the pine and black tartan (plaid) jacket with the green TN and yesterday Mary Beth was wearing the red and navy one with the red TN. Both of them looked lovely. I have the pine and black one ( just love it) and seeing the red and blue on Mary Beth makes me want to buy this one also.

Thank you Vickybliss! I agree the plaid Tartan blazer is wonderful, no matter which color! Glad to see they are getting more exposure!

Was trying to find Jane Tracey but couldn't. The coloring should be perfect for her.

Yes, she looked so lovely. It was the Gourmet holiday on the 5th. Can't remember the items she was selling: but it is there somewhere.

Mary Beth has on the topper and may have messed up my exchange. 😀. I have 4 colors of this item but the sapphire was larger. Same size but when measured against the others, it was 2 inches larger around the bottom. It made a difference in the way it looked on me so I sent it back for my first ever exchange. I just saw Mary Beth wearing it and assume that means she is about to present it. I was worried my size would sell out and since returns/exchanges are taking about 3 weeks, I went ahead and ordered it so I wouldn't miss out. Love this item!

Gosh, I have the plum jacket and slacks (which earlier I called magenta inadvertently) and the blue faux suede skirt and the WK sweater to match, the plaid red jacket and it's not a matter of weather but whether I will ever get to wear them.

I guess I could get all dressed up and go to the grocery store but I think I would look out of place. Aisles of men and women in jogging clothes, running and clearing their spaces quickly, out of fear another person is getting too close. Nobody is looking for BOGO, just go, go, go. They are all trying to stand 12-20 feet from the cashier who is having trouble getting them to slide the card rather than throw it, hoping it will slide on its own without them having to go near the cashier or the germ-laden strip reader.

@Nonametoday Life should return to a somewhat more normal state after the current wave subsides and vaccines are available. Louis' QVC Fall Collection has been unbelievable, possibly because it is the last. Who knows?

I am definitely doing my part to support his brand and hope he will be back next year and that we will all have places to go and people to see then!

@Linmo So hoping it is not the last. I know that he is most likely tiring from all the trouble, traveling abroad, dealing with Chinese manufacturers, marketing and executives at the Q and misshipments, etc,. and he does not have his favorite muse for support. Most likely, he is probably ready to retire and call his life "well done."

I hope that he will be happy in whatever he does, because he does so many things so well: his garden, his home decor, his design profession, dressing his "ladies". I miss him doing the shows. I think Jennifer is cute but she is not Louis. There is no substitute for his knowledge and professionalism.

@Nonametoday I don't think it would be his choice but rather QVC's. He is so talented and dedicated that I hope he would explore other options.

@Linmo Some of the people they are bringing in now seem to do similar collections, getting everything to work together but they don't have that savoir-faire that he has. There will be no replacement for him, unfortunately.

I saw Jane wearing Linea's plaid blazer in the green with the green turtleneck. She looked very nice.

I have been looking at the new collections the Q is bring in and NONE compare with the Linea line. His jackets, and sweaters are the best. I love his superponte pants in all of their variations, his jewelry and tights and his special items like his tenches and beaded pieces are the best on the Q. I Haven't heard anything that they aren't continuing with Linea, but if they do it's a BIG MISTAKE IMHO. Nothing compares. The rest pale in comparison!

Louis has a show scheduled for January 2021. Based on some of the comments, it reminds me of Mark Twain: "The rumours of my death have been greatly exaggerated?"

@Somertime I read here that he announced it on his FB then took it down shortly thereafter.
