Join Me and Ms B at Trina Turk this Saturday!

March 6, 2017 By kimwheeler 11 Comments

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.

    Looking forward to this! I love that her inspiration for the spring collection came from her trip to Cuba. A place I would love to visit! I can't wait to see what they are getting in this week and just in time for our shopping event…yay! I'm loving that denim top with the white eyelet skirt and the white off the shoulder top with the denim pants. You look adorable! April xo

    April, I am so looking forward to doing this with you! Now that I am looking back at the photos I am loving those shorts on you and the wrap sweater..actually a lot of things! Funny the skirt and denim top really look great in the photos. I wasn't sure if it was too short, but I think maybe not! So exciting to see what else comes in before the event.. I need a swimsuit too. xo

In order to make it all work, we had to move everything around like Jenga and hope it fits.  I’m liking having this older chest in my office and the chairs back where Griffin’s couch was.
Some people have opinions, and hate any changes, but I’m ignoring them despite the meows!!!🐱

Summerland is cutest little town off California’s Summerland is cutest little town off California’s Highway 101. So many people have never been, including myself until last week when we stopped and I fell in love! 

The number one place here is the famous @godmothersbooks which had been on my list, and is a gathering spot for the community, besides two levels of the best collection of books and a cute courtyard cafe.

Next door is the @summerlandbeachcafe 
and three incredible home stores- @porch_summerland, @thewellsummerland, and @botanik_summerland Botanik. There is much more, but we had to get back on the road. I need to get back there and explore more.

Pop over to the blog and read more about this hidden gem of a town, that’s deserves a stop on your next California adventure.

Thirty years ago today Max and I were married! Tim Thirty years ago today Max and I were married! Time has seemed to fly. It doesn’t seem so long ago my friends Ani and Chris told me I had to meet this guy Max.  Our first date was Mrs Doubtfire!  We talked until 3 am!  We were pretty inseparable after that, though we were pretty opposite. 
I learned to scuba dive and backpack for him -and he learned to love (okay abide) museums and Jane Austen films! 
We had so much fun raising our boys. He is the best person I know and I feel so lucky. 
Love you @trinidadmaxon

I bought a handbag for fall from an adorable brand @ciao__lucia and Jackson loved the shirts and pants @cookman.usa. We loved @ourplace with bright cookware and kitchen equipment.

Happy Saturday! Don’t you love a little lamp on th Happy Saturday! Don’t you love a little lamp on the counter? I’m a fan of the soft light glowing as the day starts and later as twilight comes.  This one from @shophuntandbloom is perfect in size for my bar or a kitchen. I discovered H&B looking for plates for my kitchen wall. 

The weekend newsletter is up and I’m sharing my cute new lamp, a fig couscous, some gardening and more.

Today on the blog, I’m sharing the best summer sal Today on the blog, I’m sharing the best summer salad you will ever make. This is a longtime favorite from my friend Alex who is an incredible entertainer. She always makes everything California casual, and seemingly thrown together, but it tastes and looks fabulous! 😎

This salad uses the best of summer so make it soon!
The salad 🥗 is…
~Washed butter and a mix of greens (not bagged right now)
~Watermelon cubed
~Baby tomatoes halved 
~3 ears of white corn (slice off uncooked and rinsed.)
~Red onion sliced
~Toasted pine nuts 
~Feta cheese crumbled ( I substituted mozzarella here as my feta went bad.)
~Poppyseed dressing. Yes bottled. Sorry, but it is so good. I used Brianna’s as the original recipe calls for it. 

Assemble and toss gently with the dressing. Top with pinenuts and blue corn chips crumbled are good too.

Alex’s salad is a great one to share at a gathering because it makes so much and can also be a terrific dinner with a protein added. 

The full recipe on a card to save is on the blog, along with other delicious summer food ideas from five friends.
