Mr Turk

Nor Cal Girl Trina Turk’s Fall Collection!

September 3, 2014 By kimwheeler 19 Comments

Trina Turk is a native Californian known widely for her resort clothes with retro inspired vibe and colors. I’ve always loved her bold prints and beach wear that recalled cool items my mom wore in the early 1970s. So it was interesting to discover Trina Turk  grew up in a tract house in San Jose in the 1960s and 70s just as I did! There were loads of mid-century homes amid orchards then. We embraced the avocado greens, the burnt oranges, cornflower yellows and all that…Not to mention macrame owls! I really get where her inspiration comes from having lived that era out in Northern California.  I am drawn to her vibrant designs and 60s inspired bold prints.

 After seeing some fun things Trina Turk had at the Bank of the West tennis tournament pop-up, I  thought I’d like to see more of their new handbags, fall line and the home decor too. I honestly didn’t know she had clothes beyond resort wear!

 Some of the goodies at the pop-up store. The candles smell heavenly and we were digging the ice buckets!

 The Trina Turk brand has been growing with the introduction of handbags and workout clothing as well as the Mr Turk line for men. Recently a few friends and I made the trip up to check out the new fall collection at the Trina boutique in the cute town of Burlingame.

Well we loved the store with it’s ocean wave inspired ceiling and wood paneling. I highly recommend a trip up to darling Burlingame if you haven’t been. Many little bistros and bakeries to grab lunch and wonderful shops.

The new handbag collection has great little details and are well priced too.

Right away, my friend Jeanne and I loved this Joelle dress and this collection in navy with geometrics and cutouts.

Beautifully made pieces! They really were perfect for transitioning into fall. This dress is called Savannah Lace.

This lovely dress was worn by Dana one of the sales women there. It’s even cuter on.

I loved this boutique because of the wonderfully curated collection. Pieces from one group mix seamlessly with other groupings and its easy to get several unique looks with just a few different items.

Being the flower junkie I am, I of course fell hard for this Mara top look with grey and violets.

The fabric is a combination of suiting material running down the side of the trousers and the floral.

 There are coordinating pants or a full skirt as well as a dress in this print.

I am still considering this. Even just the pants would be fabulous to mix up with my wardrobe.
I actually came in to try this graphic look that caught my eye at the pop-up shop.
I loved the print, but think I would break it up instead of wearing both matching pieces.
All the fitted skirts I tried are so well crafted they really do flatter. One of the pull on fitted versions like this Ashby skirt above, could be really great for fall with a boxy sweater don’t you think?
Then Jeanne and I found this dress that felt like butter and looked great on everyone…
This Harley dress is something I’d just like to have in my wardrobe. It’s chic and you can dress it up or down. The combo of the fitted bottom and drapey top flatters and feels amazing on. How often can you say that about a dress? Adding mules or a bootie looks modern and I tried these cut-out mules which would look good with so much.
Oh gosh the shoes and bags !!!  The Sunset Soiree clutch with the wooden clasp above was seriously a collector piece. We also fell for the cut out Laguna mules in tan suede as well as the black I tried.

Color-blocked zip around wallets would be fun to use as a clutch purse.
They have some very lovely jewelry at the boutique as well.
Decisions!!
I even wanted to take the salmon grasscloth wallpaper, pillows and rug home from the fitting room!

Then there was the home collection. The pillows and straw totes were so pretty.

In the end I chose something I never thought I’d buy with all the fabulous colors here …a black sundress!

The cutouts on the hem and collar were darling and this Morena dress was so flattering….I knew I’d wear it for a long time and I needed a black summer dress.

Some of the collar details closer.
I wore my new dress to a wedding at a California vineyard about two weeks ago. It was a very hot day and it never wrinkled. It’s fully lined and skims over the body. I think this would be an ideal packing piece for a warm holiday trip as well. It’s also made in California as are most of the Trina Turk clothes! Love that. The quality of her clothing line is excellent.

To see more of her California homes and decorating style check out Elle Decor’s Instagram Home Tour of Trina’s Palm Springs home…

There’s lots of fun California inspiration if you follow her Instagram account. Let me just say the Mr Turk Instagram account is um well, pretty fab too…You have to see for yourself. 😀

You can also see her gorgeous mid-century Los Angeles home below, in this Elle Decor post.

Trina and her husband Jonathan Skow have been longtime collectors of vintage and she displays many of her treasures in her homes.

I also am crazy for her fabric collection for Schumacher…

 How fabulous to have a chair in one of these or more or even accent pillows? Love!

Some of the best looks from her fall collection..

If you can’t get to Trina Turk near you you can visit the Trina Turk site to find the fall collection, new handbags and more!

Wonderful getting to know more about this Northern California girl! I’m hoping to add more of her lovely California made gems to my closet soon.

A little reel of the pretty @bernarduslodge in Car A little reel of the pretty @bernarduslodge in Carmel Valley. We try and get here at least twice a year for a little weekend retreat. 

It’s in the perfect location as you can enjoy all the charms of Carmel -and soak up the sunshine while you’re at the resort just up the road from the coast. The rooms, pools, gorgeous gardens, and mountain views are soothing. It’s my happy place and if you are near Carmel, I can’t recommend it enough.

@northerncalstyle 

We had houseguests and now a free day, but the weather has been dark and cool for this summer kick off.. 😕 Hoping you all get some time to enjoy this extra day off. 

I am thinking today of all those who gave their lives for our nation and democracy. ❤️ Their families are especially on my mind.

I splurged and bought myself this pretty planter f I splurged and bought myself this pretty planter for my favorite plant. This is from @beachwoodhome in Carmel which has beautiful things. It’s in the Carmel Plaza and I always love popping in there to see what’s new when I’m down there.

This plant is a peperomia plant which is so easy to keep alive! Yay. It loves to grow in cool shapes and needs just a few ice cubes here and there..

Hope you’re all having a good start to the week!

Do you love @rails beautiful California clothing? Do you love @rails beautiful California clothing? I don’t know what your weekend plans are, but on Saturday the new Rails at Stanford is having a fun event with 20% off, light bites, and a little gift with purchase.. 

I’ll be there for a few hours to help you pull together looks for summer or shop for a Mother’s Day gift - maybe for yourself? 

If you haven’t been to a Rails store, they are so inspiring and have the whole collection for women and men. It’s great to see the clothes up close and how gorgeous they are. 

Please pop by if you are at Stanford  Shopping Center and say hi! I would love to meet some of you.  I’ll be there 11-12:30, but the event is on all day and the Rails team is so great! 

Maybe a fun day out to shop with a friend or your mom and have lunch after at Stanford? 

Looking forward to this and meeting some of you!
