Marrakech: and a tale of being featured on Tory Burch's blog

Friends,

You might remember that a while back, I had fun shopping with the lovely Tory Burch.  We also had afternoon cocktails at Peacock Pavilions where we did a wee photoshoot.

So happy to be featured on Tory's blog today!  Check out some of my favorite places to shop in Marrakech in my Insider's Guide.

Bibhu Mohapatra: a tale of fashionable Moroccan inspiration

Oh, Bibhu Mohapatra.  How did you know....?  How did you know my love for Moroccan embroidery?  That I've collected it, written about it, and even dedicated a tent in its name?

So intricate, so refined, so astonishing........a true cultural treasure. 

If I could...If there was any way I could....

                                               well, you would be mine..........

and you.....
and you.....

and you................


Did I mention you....?  Yes you..............

Bibhu Mohapatra's 2013 resort collection, which the designer says was "fueled by a trip to the exotic, eclectic and fantastical world of Marrakech."

Many thanks to the divalounge for the tip.
