Linea by Louis Dell'Olio

[mam2fourboys]

I love, love watching all of Louis’ shows, even though today I was just able to catch the videos just now.  I am torn between getting another WK elbow sleeve sweater in sapphire (have in black and LOVE) or the sapphire crepe gauze tank.  I think I need more for warmer weather and that tank looks so cool and breezy.  

I loved seeing all the choices and how to mix and match.  The jewelry just keeps coming and it’s all so tempting.  I am so very grateful that we have so much Linea to choose from, although I do have to watch myself to stay on budget.  

Louis said that his favorite piece for this spring was the flutter sleeve flower blouse and I absolutely agree!  I got the sapphire and it’s so light, breezy and feminine.

I liked seeing Jackie today and except for the white blouse (looked like a size too small for her) she did a great job, was enthusiastic and looked lovely in Linea for a change. 

The host and Louis did just fine too.  He was so relaxed yet knowledgeable about everything as always; it was enjoyable to watch.

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.

@WNYgal , no need to be so snarky. Everybody is entitled to an opinion. You have yours and that is fine. I watched even though I feel Louis is better suited with other hosts. To throw Medicare, or 5’10” and 110lbs and “goddess of older and plus size” into your post is wrong. I personally don’t have any idols. Hope you have a better night.

I agree about the flutter sleeve print blouse!  I have it in black and cannot believe how absolutely flattering it is, domfortable for a woven, and takes basics like black pants, white blazer to a fashion statement. 

Also love the tops and windowpane jacket with the sleeve floral lace applique, unique and special.

@loveschocolate- Ditto to your response to nyc1 I don't have favorite models and certainly would not and do not consider anyone a "goddess of plus size".

@golding76-  I love this necklace!!   I got home and two packages were waiting for me, my husband told me he could tell it was jewelry...lol.  As soon as I took it out the box and saw it I knew this was a keeper, the green patina on the links is striking with a peek of what looks like copper through out, I went out on my back porch to get a better view of the finishing since the sun was still so bright.  Very similiar to the Etruscan necklace in the green patina if you own that except the links are a tad shiny.  The earrings are darling not too long.

I also received the classic earrings which are fabulous as well.

Thank you, luvit.

I do, in fact, own the Etruscan necklace and bracelet in the Green Patina as well as the fish.  That's it.  I had thought that was my limit, but there might be room for the new Ring necklace..

Goldie76,  I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.  Now I think I will take a break from buying anymore jewelry!

I went to the Program Guide to see what had been presented as I missed the live show.  I will admit that my heart sank a little when I saw who the host was.  In watching the videos, however, I was pleasantly surprised to see that the host has greatly improved in her pairing with Louis.  She certainly seemed much more prepared than in her earlier outing with him and was able to fall into a good rhythm with Louis as well as with the models.  As the show progressed, they seemed to genuinely enjoy each other. 

That said, I have never let the host get in the way of my focus on the clothes and Louis, although there are certainly some that are much better with him than others.

Barbara, I couldn't agree with you more, Actually, no names, but there are some seasoned hosts that never stop talking. At least Kim new when to let Louis do the talking.
