Trina Turk for Banana Republic

The Trina Turk for Banana Republic Collection - Summer 2012

Darling, mix up a mojito and point yourself poolside.  It's summer;  Time to cast off your layers, slip into something breezy and lounge it up.  Though we can't all jet to Palm Springs or Ibiza, let your own backyard become an oasis of chill.  Grab your iPad, put your shades in the down position and place your chaise next to the pool (in-ground preferably but turtle versions will do)  Now, dial up the ambient noise with some live-streaming organic chill beats.   Your lady of leisure uniform? The new Trina Turk for Banana Republic collection, of course, complete with pretty Palm Springs-inspired prints, oversized pap-proof hats and cute Coachella 'kinis. The blissfully affordable (yet unmistakably Trina) capsule collection just went online but is selling out as fast as you can say, "Clink, clink.  Splish, splash."  Now, anyone know of a squad of cute cabana boys for hire?
