I watched the movie
hideous kinky last night. I hadn't seen it since I was in high school, and was totally taken with the gorgeous setting in Morocco. There isn't much of a story, but it follows, Julia (Kate Winslet), a hippie mum from London, as she lives in/travels Morocco with her two young girls in the 70s. (It's based on the novel by Esther Freud. Review from the guardian
here).
Here's a market scene:
I've always wanted to go to Morocco but have not been yet. I'd love to check out the bazaar, or Souk in Marrakesh. Here are some photos I found of it, that are terribly enticing--I'm itching to travel now!
I just love all the beautiful colours:
Much of the movie is shot in a beautiful fondouq, or courtyard where they live in Marrakesh, similar to this one here, featured on
lonely planet:
I love these Moroccan inspired interiors:

{I'm in love with this palette--pinks & purples} |
for the bathroom:
I love the look of the colour of silver (tea pot) & the silver slippers with the pink, & the absolutely gorgeous tiles:
& speaking of tea...
check out this great idea for a dessert table:
Kate Winslet's character tends to wear mostly hippie outfits...but I did love the florals & the simplicity of some of her outfits.
a blue tunic/kameez perfect for warm climate travelling:
paired with one of these gorgeous chappals (my favourite type of shoe to travel in):
or with these gorgeous slippers:

or for some more bling...I couldn't leave out the overly glammed-up foursome in SATCII:
