Linea by Louis Dell'Olio

[Luvitorleaveit1]

@golding76- I sure will.  I tuned in late but went back to check out the video A302566 the model is wearing it in the copper ox but I think she is wearing two necklaces and I love the earrings.

I did watch the show today and enjoyed seeing all the models and looks, especially the new jewelry which is incredibe.  I wanted to get an additional piece of Linea for summer, and followed Louis's advice and picked up the print cropped pants in the dark grey.  

I love their easy look for hot days, and am going out on a limb, for me, getting a print for a bottom.   

That long topper is a perfect piece too, already have it in olive and would love to persuade myself to get the black......we shall see.  I have run out of room in my closet, truly, or days in the year to wear my wonderful collection of Linea.....sigh.

Thanks for the heads up.  I tuned in for exactly 30 seconds and then I could not stand to listen to the host, whoever she is... just chatter chatter chatter.  Louis looks like he is in pain having to share the floor with this endlessly chattering woman.  He could hardly get in two words. OMG.

She has NO RESPECT for him whatsoever, nor the customer, who I'm sure would much rather hear from Louis.  SHAME on her producer, who should tell her to calm down. 

I'm a Q shopper for over 30 years, and they should have more respect for pairing of brand, guest and host.  This is a disaster.

Actually, it wasn't, and I personally I can't really understand what all the harumping and clucking was all about by the 8 of you who were so upset. If you had hung in there,  you might have found that this young woman settled into a rhythm with Louis who, in FACT, did practically ALL of the talking, leaving very little room for the host to do much more than follow his lead, complimenting him up, down, and sideways, including praising him to the bloody skys while telling him how honored she felt to be working  with him. Furthermore, she wore the dress and necklace beautifully, showing just how great his clothes can look on someone who isn't on Medicare or 5'10" and 110lbs. Or poor Jackie, who, naturally, came in for a dig right off the top because she isn't Maria, goddess of the older and plus size. Louis was selling, and selling hard, because this was stuff that needed to be got rid of, but who cares about reality when all the fan "ladies" have their antennae up, ready for any perceived slight to their idol. No wonder no one else chimed in on the watch thread, with the 8 of you setting such a pleasant tone right off the bat, + the fact that it was all retreads. A disaster? Hardly. Hurricanes and wildfires are disasters, not fashion shows that barely effect Louis's bottom line, and where the participants are all clearly having a good time. But, those who didn't bother to watch wouldn't know that, would they.

@author- I own the grey crop pants and they are so light and comfortable.  I love how I can wear my alabaster pieces to coordinate with that small alabaster strip at the bottom.

The closet space I had and was so proud of after my last purge is gone so I definitely slowing down on my purchases.

I couldn't agree more!

I was busy outside applying mulch around my roses so it has been recorded to watch later.

WNYGall   I agree with you regarding the host.  I think she gets very nervous with Louis but she did settle in and she, Louis and the models had a good time.  Louis did a lot of explaining as well.

I assume you were referring to my comment regarding Jackie.  I like Jackie a lot but her outfits whether on Louis' show or other shows never seem to fit her properly.  The white embroidered shirt that she modeled was great until she moved, the sleeves were tight on her as well as the bust and the white pants she wore were way too tight on her.  She said her shirt was a 14.  Some of the other outfits she modeled seemed to be a better fit.  Yes, I adore Maria and she is, always,presented beautifully.  It was not a question for me that I preferred to have Maria over Jackie.  I, just, wish that the clothes that are selected for her whether on Louis' show or others fit her properly.  I think she is very nice and very pretty.

I didn't feel my remark was snarly but yours, certainly was.  Yes, Maria is the Goddess of plus sizes but that doesn't mean Jackie isn't!

A273871 on Jackie is not the best fabric. It is almost as thin as an undershirt, so it really doesn’t hide any flaws. I use this top when I am out in my garden.

Finally, I can now watch & record QVC2 on Comcast here in the Denver area. Hope everyone gets coverage soon. 

I also watched the show live and thought the host did a better job than the last time--she still appears nervously chatty to me. She's not a favorite of mine, either, but her style didn't seem to faze Louis one way or the other. I enjoyed watching the show regardless.

I picked up the new applique blouse in the blue & white stripe--I have the white--and the new "lord of the rings" set in gold. I'm looking forward to the dupioni silk-like jackets and the pink pant.
