Chic in Atlanta: Pieces

I am embarrassed to say that I had never been to Atlanta, Georgia before Americas Mart invited me down to speak.  I took the opportunity to stay the weekend and see some sights.  At the top was stopping by the store Pieces.  I shopped from them online for my bachelor pad project in 2008 and it was fun to see the store in person.  Owner Lee Kleinhelter has so much inventory online that I was expecting a larger boutique but she packs a lot into a small space.  Lee was unfortunately shopping the Mart so I didn't get to meet her but I definitely enjoyed my visit.  I highly recommend it to any designer visiting Atlanta. Or you could always do what I did and shop online.

Chic in Morocco: Four Seasons Marrakech

After a brief reprieve of warmer temps on Saturday, we're back to feeling the winter chill in New York.  Perfect time to revisit my trip to Morocco and luxurious stay at the Four Season Marrakech.  The hotel had only been open for a few short months when we arrived and we were the very first press to experience its splendor.  It really does remind me of an oasis in the dessert full of palm trees and gorgeous pools. It's about five minutes from the airport and shopping in the souk but you couldn't feel farther away from the madness of Marrakech.  They were having the grand opening celebration a few days after your departure and the Prince of Saudi Arabia had flown in for the festivities.  Almost wanted to become one of wives just so I could stay in this paradise forever. It was that magical. Sigh.
