Northern Cal Style Event at Trina Turk

Trina Turk’s Fall Collection & Our Event Saturday !

September 8, 2017 By kimwheeler 4 Comments

I am so fortunate to be doing a shopping day with Trina Turk this weekend. My friend April of Ms B in the Bay Area and I spent a few hours up at the Burlingame store yesterday and got to preview the fall looks and I have to honestly say it is her prettiest fall collection ever.

I’m especially in love with the beautiful deep florals and pretty shapes of the dresses and tops.

This pink shirtdress might be my very favorite with its easy feel, pockets and zipper front. It has luxe cuffs with the nicest gold button detail too. I could wear casual or dressed up with heels like these Sunset Blvd pumps- also part of her fall collection.

Trina’s handbags are super cool this season…


This mauve color is very hot and I like the tassel it comes with.


This tote and clutches are all great fall pieces! I’m contemplating this leopard Raquel Clutch which is a perfect size for daytime as well as nights.

Loving the boots and how cute is this box bag?

These luxe boots also grabbed my eye as they are different by Pour La Victoire and the box bag is also a way cute for a special event with a fall dress.

More pretty boots and standout bags! Kind of in love with this bucket bag and these Frye boots (marked down) in this color!!

This Merge clutch is also modern and fun.

April and I had fun trying on some of our favorite looks. It’s nice to see how things fit and some items look so different on. We wanted to be prepared to help anyone who comes to see us Saturday.

 

This lace Dreamland dress was one of the very best, so flattering with the bell sleeve and lace neckline. Wouldn’t it be the perfect dress for Thanksgiving or a special fall dinner with these deep colors?

An elegant dress with gold details and the most sublime green.

 

How cool is the Jones patented tweed coat? Even cuter on. And yes it is water-repellant, so you can just wipe it dry. Lightweight too and doesn’t wrinkle so it may be the perfect travel piece in fall.

I have to say right here that items like this coat are what makes her collections so neat. One of a kind pieces that become even cooler as you keep them over the years are what I love about shopping at Trina and looking back on all her different collections, I wish I had bought a few more of them as they get better with time!

  Always love the Trina jewelry.

 A cute ladybug sweater.

 

This leopard vest, tweed jacket and sporty flowered bomber were just a few of the jackets.

This dress is a great pick for upcoming parties. April in the black version below…

 The Panache dress is another fun cocktail dress.
Also this Splendid dress!
April looking graceful in the navy version of the Panache dress.
For daytime and more casual wear this Jaxson dress was adorable on April.

 

The Keleigh is another shirtdress with cute contrasting cuffs and belt.

 

The Opulent jacket in a tattersall check has a very cute back detail …

 

This jacket is beautifully made with a deep red lining with navy polka dots and the darling buttons. I’m kind of a jacket junkie. I think nothing looks more polished than a little jacket. The picture doesn’t do it justice and the special details in her clothes them even cooler.

 

 

 So many beautiful items. I’m just showing a fraction.

April loved this chambray dress, a fall version of the blue one she owns. This has a grayish wash on it and we agreed this is the perfect throw on dress that felt great.

Below is the black version of the zip up shirtdress I wore in pink at the top of the post.

Simple and yet so chic! Hard to decide what I like more black or the pink Darya dress, but it is something everyone would love to have in the closet.

More snazzy accessories…

 

Lots to love at the beautiful Trina Turk Burlingame store. I didn’t even show swim, coverups, sunglasses and so much more.

Downtown Burlingame is a cute spot and a great chance to enjoy a day out with a friend and have lunch.

The team who work at this Trina store are very cool ladies and know what looks great. If you can’t make my event, visit them sometime. The store itself is a modern gem- beautifully designed and always a joy to see what they have from this California designer. You can find more of her fall collection on the Trina Turk site.

See you Saturday!

Join Me and Ms B at Trina Turk this Saturday!

If you read this blog you know I’m a huge fan of California designer Trina Turk and her beautiful clothing. I’ve feel so lucky to have collaborated with my friends at the Trina Turk Burlingame store on some fun events and I’m happy to share we have another coming up this Saturday, March 11. Trina makes beautiful clothes and accessories and our event is a perfect time to get a special item for upcoming getaways, holidays or to just add something unique to your wardrobe to cherish. After doing these shopping days a few years now, I have to say my Trina pieces are my go-tos that I love wearing. The idea of collecting special items over time makes so much sense and I like being able to shop my own closet when an social occasion happens, and also be able to throw the cutest vacation items in my bag and go!

This shopping day is going to be even more fun as I am doing this in conjunction with my dear friend April, of Ms Bin the Bay Area. April, who lives up the peninsula from me, also blogs about travel, fashion, lifestyle and things Northern California related. I think we are very similar!  Both of us will be there to help you shop and pull together pretty looks for anyone who stops in.

April above, and I have scoped out all the greatest pieces and accessories from this new collection when we previewed it last week in Burlingame. We had an absolute blast trying things on and got a feel for who would look great in each item. I have to tell you it was really hard for us to decide what we each wanted to wear for the event.

During our Saturday event all the new collection and regular priced merchandise will be 25% off! There will be refreshments as well, so pop in by and see what is happening.

Trina took inspiration for this collection from a recent trip to Cuba. 

Below some snaps of our most wanted from the Burlingame boutique and even more items are arriving before Saturday’s event which will be 10-1. You can make a day of it if you bring and friend and have lunch afterwards on one of my favorite shopping streets in all of California, Burlingame Avenue, where the Trina boutique is located.

We can’t wait to see you all this Saturday!

Kim & April!

P.S. LOVE this little clip of Havana made by Trina Turk. It shows the darling ice cream parlour, Coppelia, which is vintage 1960’s that inspired the colors and looks of this collection.

Get Ready For Spring at Trina Turk in Burlingame With Me!

March 4, 2016 By kimwheeler 23 Comments

Happy weekend! Thanks to a few weeks of beautiful weather here in Northern California I’ve been in a spring mindset. I’m looking forward to wearing sandals and dresses and lighter and prettier things soon. Fortunately, I am doing another spring event this year with the lovely Trina Turk boutique in Burlingame next Saturday, March 12, from 10-1. 
We collaborated last year and many of you were able to stop in and see how beautiful Trina’s collection is in person. The quality of the clothes, many which are made in California, is wonderful. I also love the fun bags, shoes, and jewelry that pop with her collections. If you are thinking of Easter or a special event, this is your go-to spot for a frock. And if a holiday or beach getaway is coming you can check out her latest swim, coverups, totes and hats. Best of all, the Trina boutique in Burlingame will be giving 20% off any of the regular priced merchandise just for Northern California Style friends who come to this event. If your unable to make it, and there’s something you’ve been wanting you can call ahead of the event (number below), and have them ring it for you and ship it or I can get it for you and deliver myself if your in the South Bay. I’d hate for anyone to miss out on getting the 20% which they don’t do often and especially with the new Spring collection, which just hit stores.
I drove up to Burlingame last week to check out the new looks and took a few snaps to give you a peek. See for yourself how gorgeous her things are.

This super cute print is a collaboration of Trina with Portland artist Lisa Congdon. I’m crazy for the ball trim on the bottom of this Julieann dress.

 The beach totes are so cool as are the towels.

Solids and jumpsuits are some of the classics Trina always carries as well.

More beautiful accessories!

Coverups, flip flops, and espadrilles!

Swimwear! Love the quality of the fabrics used.

I tried a few of the latest Spring collection….

 This yellow tasseled dress comes with a slip and could be a fun dress for alfresco dinners or without the slip as a coverup. It may be a perfect travel piece for an island holiday?

 Adored the bright color of this crepe Felisha dress with it’s pockets and modern shape.

 Another cool retro print in a silky fabric which won’t wrinkle and again great for travel or poolside.

 As a California girl I have to admit to having a love for fringy crochet pieces that harken back to the my 1970’s childhood. This dress had me thinking of summer nights out and dangly earrings..Cue the Eagles music.

 One of my favorites might be this gorgeously made navy lace Alvah jacket. With a nude shell it’s kinda sexy, but with a solid it can be daytime proper. The girls at Trina ,who have amazing taste, had me try it with these plaid pants which feel really nice on and give it he Trina look.

It’s also cool with colorful shorts.. I can see it with jeans. I may be wearing it a totally different way if you come by the event!

Please try and come by! I’d love to meet some of you. I’ll be there helping style customers and friends with the latest looks and just having fun. The folks working here are the best and you’ll love meeting them. We will have refreshments and coffee and there will be time for you to shop and grab lunch after in cute Burlingame. We will be there from 10-1, but like I said if you are unable to make it, please call  (650) 340-8540 at the Trina boutique before the event so you can get 20% off. Mention  you’re calling about the Northern California Style event and they can ship it to you or I can bring it to you if you are nearby.
Looking forward to seeing some of you and hoping you’ll pop in!
Kim

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.

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..

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!
