Trina Turk for Home and New NoCal Store



I am a huge fan of Trina Turk clothing. So, I was over the moon to hear that she launched a printed fabric collection for the home with furnishings manufacturer Schumacher and a residential line of pillows, towels and rugs.

Like her fashion line, Turk's indoor/outdoor fabric collection draws inspiration from diverse cultures, architecture and landscape that represent Southern California. This gorgeous fabric trio - left to right: Santorini in marine, Zebra in bamboo and Peacock in pool - are some of my favorites. Perfect for a party poolside. Also, because the fabrics are made for indoor or outdoor use, they are more rugged and would be great for interiors with small children.

Here is an exterior view of the new Trina Turk store in Burlingame, California - just 30 miles south of San Francisco. These are some of my personal photos from a recent shopping outing.

The store's interior design is clean, modern and L.A. chic. The geometric floor is designed in white & brown round mosaic tiles with a dark brown grout. Lots of mirrors open up the space nicely and reflect the great lighting design. The back wall's vertical brown & orange knotty yarn adds texture and an earthy touch. It's a gorgeous space.

Trina's new pillow collection is beautiful. The lime green embroidered pillow shown in the cane rocking chair is my favorite!

Trina's swimwear line is the best! She always uses colorful prints and incorporates a fun element like the gilded hardware in the blue & white suit shown above. I had to hold back on buying one from her latest line because I purchased two last year!

If you are in the Northern California area, be sure to drop by this beautiful new Trina Turk Store in Burlingame. And if you print out and bring this Simplified Bee blog article, you'll receive 10% off your purchase - hurry, the discount is good through August 31, 2009.
