Cartagena is a city that radiates style—from its sun-faded facades and lush courtyards to the color-soaked boutiques tucked behind centuries-old doors. In this post, I share a week spent at the effortlessly elegant Charleston Hotel Santa Teresa, where the air smelled like flowers and saltwater, and inspiration felt inevitable. With every outfit and every turn through the city, I felt a little more awake, a little more alive—and a little more like myself.

A summer stay in Southwest Harbor, Maine, where harbor light meets wallpapered charm and lobster rolls become a food group. At The Claremont, style feels inherited, not imposed—and every detail, from floral prints to fog-covered sails, makes you want to slow down and stay a little longer.
