1. Espadrilles: Castañer via Nordstrom // 2. Panama hat: J. Crew // 3. Turquoise Clutch: Nordstrom // 4. Etheral Señorita Dress: Free People
In an ode to my roots, here’s some Latin/Spanish-influence for today. I ran across these Castañer espadrilles in Nordstrom’s online ‘Pop-In’ shop. The Castañer brand is so hard to come by in the U.S. so I scooped these up right away. The brand became famous in the Spanish Civil War when the government supplied soldiers with them and it has become a staple wardrobes ever since. This Panama hat also has roots in Latin culture. While it’s name would suggest otherwise, the hat actually originated (and is still made) in Ecuador. It’s called the ‘Panama hat’ because it became famous when President Theodore Roosevelt wore one on his visit to the Panama Canal. I still remember as a kid when my dad would come back from Ecuador (where he’s from) with these hats and I thought they were so silly. Now of course I want one. You can get one too without having to travel to Ecuador. Just stop by your local J. Crew store. 🙂
