Ticket to the Tents: Trina Turk Spring/Summer 2014 Collection

Find yourself in a California dreamin’ state of mind this summer, wearing styles seen at the Trina Turk Spring 2014 showcase at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. FashionMingle.net Founder and Creative Director Melissa Shea interviewed the prolific designer, whose fashion ensembles and separates have been worn by world-class celebrities Jessica Alba, Katie Holmes, and Viola Davis. Turk divulged her inspiration for the vibrant line to FashionMingle.net, “Our theme for this season was ‘California road trip’. It’s really about a trip up the Pacific Coast highway. It has a very ‘beachy’ feel.”

Fall in love with the top three fashion trends of the season as envisioned by Trina Turk, and seen on the runways at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week! Get the looks by following the style tips below.

Dress Up (or Down) With Denim:
When venturing off to the coast on a summertime road trip, make sure you have these fashion essentials: a lightweight denim top and bottom. Lightweight denim is versatile, breathable and very fashionable this season. Complemented by a soft pink lip, delicately shadowed eyes, and tousled beach-wave hair, this look will make you shine brighter than the summer sun. To get this dazzling look, try a tie-front denim shorts romper with ruched waist detail. Remember to dress it up with a vibrantly patterned bathing suit or two-piece bikini.

Coverup with a Bucket Hat:

Although you want to stay well covered while lounging on the beach by protecting your head and neck from harmful UV rays, large brimmed straw hats are an accessory of the past. Get into the groove of summer with a new California beach accessory: the bucket hat. Patterned and wrapped with a polka dot scarf, a bucket hat will add a funky twist to any beach outfit you don this summer. Take a note from Trina Turk and keep the colors bright and fun!

Dive into Vibrant Colors:

Summertime fashion isn’t complete without the requisite swimsuit, and Trina Turk’s color-splashed bandeau tops are beautifully crafted for the discriminating tastes of fashionistas hitting the sandy beaches of the Pacific Coast. Finish this stunning look with large baubles, over-sized plastic-rimmed sunglasses and necklaces, and wavy long tresses that are sure to mezmerize onlooking beach goers. Don’t forget the sunscreen!

How will you wear these beautiful spring fashions throughout the summer? Perfectly crafted for the most fashionable beach combers, Trina Turk’s Spring 2014 Collection from Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week will surely make waves well beyond the summer season.
