TRINA TURK's fashion embodies the chic glamour of Palm Springs.

Trina Turk by Carolee...captures this sophisticated retro elegance with glorious gold cuffs...we can imagine the style icon Babe Paley-perched on a sunny poolside patio- think ---those glorious poolside pictures by SLIM AARONS....accessorized with a few choice shiny gold pieces... cocktail in one hand, cigarette in another. (Back in the day...),

ABS by ALLEN SCHWARTZ-imo- was the Zara before Zara-acclaimed for affordable interpretations of on trend runway looks...

Accordingly-there are many selections to choose from ---that match up with Spring's color trends of Black/White and Pastels-for casual-work day times-and sparkling bling for formal evening wear.

FRENCH CONNECTION---showed off pieces for the gal -that loves an arm party and ear cuffs -and the music festival to go with her accessories...
