What happens when you mix Yellow & Turquoise? All kinds of lovely things! They are the sort of colors that take you somewhere sunny and dreamy. And for that reason, this is just the kind of color palette that I like to see being used for the Spring and Summer months.
Who could resist a necklace like this? Three small orange peel roses are the focal point of this exquisite necklace, and they are beautifully paired with orange bombona seeds hand-dyed by Colombian artisans. These beautiful roses are made from discarded orange peel thoroughly cleaned before undergoing one week sun-drying, shaping and dying process without losing their natural aroma.

This clutch from Mar y Sol brings this palette together in such a way that can only be described as beautiful!
I couldn't be more in love with these Jimmy Choo swede espadrilles!
Looking to add a little pizazz to your summer look? This orange peel bracelet is all you need!
So tell me, are you liking the way that these two colors pair up with one another?
My first visit to my birthplace in 10 years was full of different emotions, beautiful memories and, of course, lots of colors!
Although it was a short trip, ( only 5 days!) I enjoyed every moment with my family and dear friends. I visited my parents' house which is today a beautifully restored colonial Colombian home in the heart of Cartagena's historic walled center, featuring six (6) spacious, well-kept guest rooms, within walking distance of old town landmarks, attractions and nightlife. And it is named after my mother, Carmen.

I was amazed to see the beautiful and striking color combinations of the colonial houses!
"It’s hard to remember, on those cold days when you pile on your heavy coat and scarf, that there are places on the planet where the sun rarely stops shining. The Colombian city of Cartagena has skies so blue and cloudless that they look permanently polarised. It’s a fine spot for a winter-dodging getaway..." ~ Lonely Planet
Cartagena, a city full of romance and colonial legends, captivates visitors with its cobbled alleys, enormous balconies draped in bougainvillea and horse-drawn carriages.
Located on the northern coast of Colombia on the Caribbean Sea, Cartagena was
once a haven for the freed African slaves of Central and South America, making
the city an ethnic melting pot of Latino, African and Caribbean cultures. Just
as dramatic is the city’s history as a Spanish colony defending itself against
pirate attacks, earning it the nickname “Cartagena, la Heroica.” ~ The Savvy Explorer
My trip was a great source of inspiration, these earrings are the proof!! They will be available very soon on our site.
Hot weather calls for cold coconut water!
Cartagena is a well preserved beauty lying within an impressive 13km of centuries-old colonial stonewalls.
You can find beautiful, warm colors everywhere.
Las Palenqueras,” or street fruit vendors, are extremely friendly and often happy to
pose for photos!
No visit to Cartagena is complete without sampling its famous shrimp cocktail.
I love this city. I am drawn to the romance Cartagena inspires. And I can't get enough of these beautiful colors that we are seeing here. So, what do you think? Is Cartagena on your bucket list?
Have a blessed day!
