The Great Outdoors

It's official! We can now wear white from head to toe without being a social pariah, guiltlessly lounge by the pool and (more importantly perhaps) treat that outdoor place like the grand outdoor living area it was destined to become. If you're anything like me, this weekend calls for breezy tunics and lots of Trina Turk. (And of course, all those white dresses I've been accumulating since last summer).

I particularly love Trina's all-weather fabrics. Here's how I'd doll up my poolside cabana... for fun, I'll choose the Cameroon Circular chaise covered in Turk's colorful pink and orange fabric. It looks perfect for canoodling or enjoying a catnap. If you're going for a bold minimalist look, rock her yellow, white and black version on the dreamy Spinnaker sofa from LaneVenture. Yes, those furnishings are all-weather and will outlast the preciously fast summer season.

Me? I dream of a patio in hypnotic blues and greens... more on that in this weekend's post. In the meantime, time to go pull some tunics out of the closet. Pink lemonade, anyone?
