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!

Re: Hosts Wearing Linea

[ Edited ]

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.
