Mad about Morocco


(Danielle, my beautiful and too-fun Sister in Law, Fall 2007)

Everyone has their dream place in the world right? Mine is pretty untapped (which makes it that much more appealing to me), it is none other than Morocco. Why Morocco? Ahhh, because of the colors, the culture the food, the dancing, the fabrics, the details. Yes, I believe it is definitely mostly the details. Details are in everything but in Morocco they are exemplified so much more through their intricate beading, weaving color patterns, detailed architecture, tiles, rugs and more.

I have dressed up as a genie many a times to fit into this place I will go to someday, I have dined at many a Marrakech 9 course meal locations from D.C. to the West Coast, so I should conclude that I'm obsessed about Morocco.

One day while at a street fair around Lincoln Square in NYC with my Mom, we found a tent full of Saris just calling out to us. We picked up some for my wedding and made a whole Moroccan theme out of my reception from the dinner to the tiles on the floor to the cake to the hanging saris as banners and using jewel tones all throughout, it was colorful to say the least!

And NOW...last Saturday I booked my flight to Spain/Morocco and am leaving tomorrow morning with Heidi, gaaaaa! Words cannot describe my colorful excitement to go. Pictures to come upon our return.

And We're Back!


Hello 2010! We are thrilled to ring in this New Year with lots of Bird work. We have been fashion district diving to source our upcoming Nordstrom orders this week and have almost sprained our ankles through jumping through heaps of fabric (see image). It has been fun, intense, laughable, stressful, but mostly exciting.

We're thrilled to announce that True Birds will now have continuous styles at all Nordstrom hair accessory counters throughout the nation starting again in February, marching on to March, springing into April and we'll let you know soon about May/June and so on when those orders are written!

Thanks for your support y'all!

Cheerio!
