Lino Lindo

photo_galleryI’m totally loving Cartagena…the architecture, the people, the food and most of all the overall feeling of being in such an incredible city! I’m staying at the Hotel Charleston Cartagena and if you ever end up in this amazing town, I highly recommend it…it’s right in the heart of the Old City and there’s a fiesta right outside your hotel each night!

59050276-01I did a little bit of shopping yesterday and what I discovered is that Colombians make some of the prettiest linen fashions I’ve ever seen. Designers like Ketty Tinoco and Beatriz Camacho really take this material to a new level and go beyond traditional beige linen pants and skirts to create gorgeous dresses and shirts with details like cascading ruffles in bold, eye-popping colors like Chartreuse, Marigold and Fuschia!

Unfortunately, the prices for some of these pieces are way out of my budget, but if you’re looking for an affordable (and cool) linen dress for the upcoming Summer months, here’s an adorable one for under $30!
