On the Road….Rural Farm, Pennsylvania
This summer I had taken some time to stay home and look for style in my own backyard. After the images from Morocco last week, I thought that this week would be a great way to continue the concept of “style in simple living” with these images from a farm in rural Pennsylvania. When I visited, the whole family was spending the weekend making jams and jellies with berries grown on their farm. Â This was being done in a beautiful Victorian style house with no electricity (by choice). Â The mother hand-makes most of the clothes her daughters wear. Â Whatever these young ladies lack in current fashion they more than makeup for in homegrown style.

On the Road to Ouarzazate, Morocco
My guide Hassan was wonderfully serious about his love for his home of Morocco. Â It always makes for a much richer experience to travel with someone that knows the history and culture of the area. Â Actually, it’s even nicer to travel with someone that’s equally curious about your culture. Â It makes for stimulating conversation when comparing and contrasting lives and experiences.

On the Road to Ouarzazate, Morocco
Check djellaba over an even larger scale check shirt (buttoned to the neck), under a beautifully graphic woven hat. Genius!
This was shot in the same random market as the previous two gentlemen. Â Morocco has such a rich history of expertise in color and pattern, (those tiles!!) is it any wonder that it comes so naturally to the general population?
Thanks everyone for the wonderful dialogue this week.

On the Street…rue de Rivoli, Paris
What’s better in the winter than to feel warm and wrapped-up in a big blanket coat? Â I suffer all summer for that feeling.
