Trend Alert: Rockin' Moroccan
Let's wisk away to another mystic land that starts with an M and ends with an O. I have yet to experience a rockin' Moroccan adventure but it is definitely on my list. When I see images of those colorful graphic tiles that grace many a hallway I yearn for a bazaar voyage.

Girls on Film: Sasha Pivovarova, Vogue Italia May '09
Put together sensual Sasha Pivovarova and Morocco and you have pure ecstasy. For Vogue Italia's May issue, Steven Meisel snapped Sasha looking like a Moroccan marvel in traditional yet stylish garb from the North African country — all, of course, with a fashion flair. Baggy harem pants ruled, as did vibrant pops of orange, raspberry, and red.
Fab Site: Yves Saint Laurent Tribute to the Moroccan Dress
Unfortunately, we all can't be at the Fondation Pierre Bergé in Paris to view Yves Saint Laurent's amazing exhibition on the Moroccan dress. Bummer. Though it's not the same as actually being in Paris, there is an online site where you can immerse yourself into the history and passions behind Yves Saint Laurent's masterpieces throughout the years.
Glitterati: Robindira Unsworth
Sonoma County-based jewelry designer Robindira Unsworth practically grew up in the atelier of her clothing designer mom. She would sort buttons, play with fabrics, flip through fashion magazines, and dream of one day wearing runway fashions. Little did she know Bar Refaeli would one day wear her Gypsy Necklace ($413) on SI's steamy swimsuit cover.
The Look for Less: Dolce & Gabbana Patchwork Snakeskin Bag
When I came across this Dolce & Gabbana Patchwork Snakeskin Bag ($3,995), I thought there could be no comparison. The colorful patchwork is nothing short of a masterpiece — worthy of being toted by Beyonce — but the heavy price left me hopeless and searching for something cheaper.

Trend Alert: Morocco Tripping
My trip to Zihuatanejo was quite the experience, but I've had my sights set on Morocco for a long time now. The country has always held this mysterious appeal, as if anything associated with it is beyond interesting and cultured. And those Moroccan tiles?!
Designer Spotlight: Laila Azhar
Moroccan-born womenswear designer, Laila Azhar is starting to emerge from the fashion shadows - and it's about time! Her no-nonsense, sculpted silhouettes are starting to turn heads everywhere. One of her pieces, a ruffle jacket, sure did catch my attention on a recent shopping excursion.
Little Ms. Rock n' Roll: The Scent
I do believe Little Ms. Rock n' Roll would enjoy this ultra feminine floral musk fragrance Glow After Dark by JLO. It has been five years since Jennifer Lopez launched Glow, which was a huge hit, and this scent has a similar fragrance base.
NY Fashion Week: BCBG Max Azria
Lately I've been crazy for the Fall 2006 fashions from BCBG Max Azria—so much so that I'm afraid my obsession could have a deleterious effect on my budget. But I'm not sure how I feel about the label's Spring 2007 collection, unveiled Friday at New York Fashion Week, which eschews the label's usual sleek city look in favor of girly dresses in boxy shapes.
The show, attended by Kristin Cavallari, Kelly Rowland, and Carmen Electra, featured lots of Moroccan-inspired cutout lace, babydoll dresses, slouchy shoulders, and neutral tones paraded alongside bright spring green, celadon, and oceanic blues.
