THE UNIQUE MAC BOOK AIR CASE








LE PROTEGE ORDI PAS COMMUN

The Cinématèque of Tangier, Morocco is a fantastically unique place. Part movie house for the great-old-movie addicts, part cyber café, part lunch "canteen" for expats and young Moroccans alike. With its harlequin façade, vintage movie posters, bric-a-brac multicolored furniture, funky lighting and sun drenched glass roofed "diner" area, it attracts creative souls and hard-smoking (sadly) youths from neighboring streets. It is one of my favorite haunts as I go about my day in the medina working away with the weavers of our textile collection Abanjá.
On one of my trips there I could not resist acquiring this great computer case made by the Cinématèque with it's weekly movie programs covered in clear plastic sheeting and fitted with a strong zipper. 
I love it! Perfect fit, perfect job of protecting my valuable device.
And, invariably, the inevitable question: "where did you get that?". 
I love to answer.


au revoir.

COPPER AND MARBLE




CUIVRE ET MARBRE


The fire red warmth of copper on the cool clean smoothness of white marble.
Absolute beauty!

WAKE UP TO COLOUR






LA COULEUR REVEILLE
Once in a while you need to wake up your style. Don't be afraid of a pop of brilliant M$M shades. Try taking a risk with a bright red chair or a yellow pillow. You might soon graduate to a bright yellow wall or a fire engine red fridge.

FASHION PHOTOGRAPHY AS ART





L'ART PHOTOGRAPHIE DE MODE



The media shower us with images of, among other things, fashion. Some shots are there to inform, some to seduce, all to sell. 
When photographers find just the right awe inspiring design, the right model, the right venue and to all that, they add their own genius, the result is absolute, fascinating, breathtaking art.

Photo, yes. 
Art, yes 
Fashion? not so sure.

WHAT HAT TO WEAR TO A FANCY WEDDING




UN BEAU CHAPEAU POUR UN BEAU MARIAGE
Black will always make a BIG statement
But how about a touch of black on a big straw hat!

Low-key elegance will work of course

Subtle color will perk up a black or neutral outfit


Maybe just wearing a big beautiful bow might work...

Just not your average good little girl bow...




au revoir.
