Colorful Inside & Out

Trina Turk was recently in Miami to promote her Trina Turk/Schumaker line as well as participate in DCOTA (design center of the Americas) panel discussion. Alongside her were other talented designers such as Celerie Kemble,India Hicks,Gene Meyer and Eugenia Santiesteban . Their chosen topic, a fitting one one might I add " Color and Pattern In Decoration. Trina Turk does a wonderful job promoting her business/brand and has lots of meet and greets (I had the chance to meet her) as well as speaking panels she participates in around the country. Trina has just been nominated for a Leadership Award by the National Association of Womens Business Owners Los Angeles.

Trina Turk for Schumaker recently unveiled 8 all new one of a kind prints and two updated versions of the Matelasse pattern. All of which feature a soft cotton fabric and are stain, sun and water resistant. You may be wanting to use these fabrics on your interior upholstering projects. No need to decide on indoors or out. The designs are in true Trina Turk fashion. No word yet on the names of these fabrics or prices. I will keep an eye out and let you know. My favorites are all on the bottom row. Lots of color and pattern.

Vanilla Chai memories

Whenever I see this bottle of Bolthouse farms Vanilla Chai I'm instantly brought back to my summer 2007 vacation in Florida. I haven't been back since 08 because I never can go when the family is going.
Now every August I feel like something is missing and I know its the annual summer trip to grandmas. Mhmmh...oh well there's always next year.
Today I twisted open a bottle of this chai and poured it over a cup of ice and instantly feel as if I'm back there, on the boat trip we all took that summer.
There's half of the clan checking out the celebrity homes.
The family my aunt works for rented out this boat for a lazy afternoon tour of Hutchinson Island, so relaxing and that my friends is where I had my first sip of that vanilla chai as well as some interesting whole foods to-go platters. I'm sure I will always remember this trip, till the next one.

Is there an item or beverage that brings back a summer memory to you?
If so do share...
