Day 2 in Marrakech and we cooked, wandered, and at Day 2 in Marrakech and we cooked, wandered, and ate our way through the medina 🇲🇦

A cooking class where we made our own food, the most beautiful old school I have ever seen, and souk after souk of pure color. My camera roll is just textures and patterns at this point and I am not mad about it.

Ended the night feeding the alley cats near our riad, because apparently that is my job now 🐱

Which souk would empty your wallet first: the slippers, the pottery, or the spices? 👇

Welcomed with tea, fed so well, and greeted by not one but two cats. If that is not a sign this trip is about to be special, I don’t know what is.

I walked into our riad and immediately understood why people fall in love with this city. The carved wood, the colors everywhere, mint tea waiting for us when we arrived. And that was all before I even stepped out into the medina.

The full Day 1 story is coming in the reel. For now, tell me: which slide is most you, riad calm or souk chaos? 👇

Pink beret, pink Dior, twirling in front of the Eiffel Tower. Past me would not believe this is the same girl who was unemployed a year ago wondering what came next.
Sometimes you have to dress like the woman you’re becoming.
