I’m not sure that there’s a more heavenly material to me than marble. It’s quite ridiculous how something even as simple as a bookend or dish made of this substance can send me swooning. Those who are lucky enough to have larger pieces – perhaps a coffee table or kitchen island – I already envy. But this house? Well, it sets me over the edge like a four-year-old in the cookie aisle. I’m about to throw a tantrum I want it so bad!
Of course, the setting certainly helps. Located in Tangiers, the Moroccan architecture and details are quite perfectly mixed with modern pieces. Which makes sense considering the owners: Hervé Van der Straeten – the furniture and accessories designer – and Bruno Frisoni, the designer behind Roger Vivier shoes.
The dining room and salon below might be my two favorites – there is a simplicity and tranquility to them both that at once feels artful and inviting.
I’m officially ready for a Moroccan getaway now…

I think this dress is gorgeous. My only issue is it’s a bit too close to white. I think it’s important to be respectful of the no-white-at-a-wedding rule and to me, this is cutting it too close.
I’m totally with you and if you think it’s too close, then definitely don’t risk offending the bride! I can tell you that in person it’s much more silver than white – it was hard to capture in photos as the sheen makes it brighten up so much!
No concerns for white(ish) at a wedding?! I will never be able to move past that Emily Post rule.
If the dress is more white than another color, it’s too white for a wedding.
I think if you saw the dress in person you’d see that it’s very much a metallic silver more than white – but if it’s even questionable for you, then definitely don’t make that move! I absolutely respect that no white at a wedding rule!
Eek- I have to agree with the comments above. I know formalities have changed over the years (i.e. wearing color at funerals, jeans to church, etc), but my experience is to stick to the no-white at weddings rule , you just never know. Love the dress, just would save it for a different occasion.
Just checked out your blog this morning and I looked back over the last week or so. Saw that you are doing wedding outfit posts! Great idea. I also read some of the comments. Keep up the nice work with these posts. Don’t get distracted by negative people…the posts are adorable. Cute dress. Must look into maybe acquiring!

Cassandra, a gorgeous dress on you.
Unless it really shows more silver in person; then I would just wear it to all other occasions than a wedding!
