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?

Banana Republic x Trina Turk

Banana Republic and Trina Turk are teaming up to deliver a little taste of SoCal to summer with the Banana Republic Trina Turk Collection – a limited-edition capsule featuring chic summer essentials inspired by the laid-back southern California lifestyle. 

“When we began working together on the collaboration, Simon (Keenan - BR's Creative Director) and I decided early on that the Palm Springs ‘cocktails by the pool’ lifestyle would be our key inspiration for the colours, styles, and prints” says Turk. “I’m excited to offer this collection of colourful, covetable and unique pieces to Banana Republic customers for summer 2012.”

The nearly 60-piece collection of women’s apparel and accessories will feature an array of summer must-haves in iconic Trina Turk prints - from flirty dresses to printed tunics to plush beach towels, all with a sophisticated, modern and ultra-cool vibe.

The collection will be available at Banana Republic stores and online at bananarepublic.ca this June.   Eek!  Jennifer Aniston loves Trina Turk...I love Trina Turk...Does that mean that I'm Jennifer Aniston?
