THE STORY BEHIND Berber rugs cover the floor and adorn the walls of the ancient atelier. Beni Ouarain, Azilal, vintage moroccan wedding blankets and Beni Mguild wait patiently for their story to be told. Mohamed is making tea following the ritual and Mustapha tells me stories from the desert, of nomadic lives and berber tribes. And there on seated on berber rugs, barefoot and with a steaming cup of sweet mint tea on my hands was how it all started. A new life that opened its doors without hardly realizing it. Many years later, I feel very grateful for having been nurtured by an ancient and nomadic culture from their roots, on the ground, traveling from North to South of...
At the beginning of the summer, #dreaminginmorocco became a reality. I was very fortunate to share four enchanting moroccan nights between Marrakech, the Atlas mountains and a luxury desert camp in the Sahara desert with five amazing fashion bloggers Armario de Silvia, Missestilos, Ponte tu Ropa, My Style y SoniaZWallsSanchez.

We explored the souks, relaxed in a beautiful Riad in the heart of the bohemian medina and enjoyed secret shops, boutiques and hidden gems that only someone with a local knowledge can reveal. #dreaminginmorocco was an unforgettable experience! If you wish to live this dream like...
Like almost everyone who has been there, I’ve tried to undernstand Morocco. I’ve sat in Café de France overlooking the square, and I’ve watched, listened and wandered. Is it Africa? Is it even real?

Some time ago, Virginia from Verdeaguastyle, asked me what I felt when I was walking around Morocco and without thinking I told her that I feel free, at peace with myself, close to life. There is no place in the world where life feels and vibrates as strongly as in Morocco. When I walk through the...
The energy in Morocco is very powerful, it's intense, it's magical. But curiously, and despite all the cultural differences, language, religion, I felt very welcome, I felt I was at home. It was magnificent to feel that kind of connection with that completely strange land. The places we met, the women I traveled with, those I didn't know and with whom I now have a great connection, the food (I am vegan), the wonderful people, the landscapes, the riads… I was completely in love. That slow rhythm that allows you to forget everything and connect with yourself, to live everything slowly but with intensity. It was a very enriching experience for me, a getaway to live in the present, with...
