Marrakech Moment

I loved this spread entitled Marrakech Moment when it was first featured in Harper's Bazaar. Now I can use it as outfit inspiration on my upcoming trip.  I'm excited to announce that I will be visiting not only Marrakech but also Casablanca, Morocco 1-8 November.  Not sure where I am staying yet but I'm already dreaming about what treasures I'm going to find at the souk.  Also hoping to make it Jardin Majorelle, La Mamounia, and lots of other beautiful places.  If you have any suggestions, please feel free to send them my way. In the meantime, I'm off to plan what to pack!

The House of Luck

I haven't seen the new Sex and the City movie yet because I've read some not so great reviews. I am curious to finally see the fashions and interiors but so much that I feel like giving up two hours of my life just yet. I'm surprised at how much attention has been given to the fact that they shot the movie in Morocco for two months which was used as a stand in for Abu Dhabi. What would have been more interesting is if part of the film actually took place in Morocco and more specifically, in Tangiers, at the former home of Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé, seen here. It was decorated by the illustrious interior designer Jacques Grange and was for sale last year and might possibly still be available. I can't find any record of it being sold. Perhaps Carrie and the girls could have rented it while getting away from their lives in New York or used it as a pit stop on their way to visit Christian Louboutin on his houseboat on the Nile. Couldn't be any worse than them wearing harem pants in the desert and falling off camels. The house also happens to be named Villa Mabrouka which means House of Luck. Sounds like they could have used some. Enjoy!
