The Perfect Summer Dress: Escapada

Not gonna sugar coat it- our weather pretty much sucks right now. It’s hot everywhere. And in this hot weather my taste for being fashionable many times gets thrown out the window in favor of being as comfortable as possible. However, there’s one designer I love – among a few- that I can always count on to create items that will keep me cute & cool all at once.

 

Escapada founder Natalia Castillo is a native of Durham, North Carolina. She graduated from Emory University and worked as a sales manager for Macy’s before going out on her own. She had two successful lines prior to Escapada- which she founded in 2013 in South Carolina.

 

” It’s no coincidence that “Escapada” can be translated to “getaway” in Spanish. The Escapada Girl is a sun seeker, a traveler who collects experiences alongside souvenirs. The line transposes that tropical culture into everyday life, offering an array of fresh, colorful styles inspired by the rich lifestyle of the islands. From printed tunics and flirty rompers to chic dresses and easy cover ups, the line takes women from the beach to cocktails, and everywhere in between. Escapada exudes a vibrant, yet relaxed aesthetic perfect for any beach vacation – or even for landlocked dreams of an exotic getaway.” – from EscapadaLiving.com

In Macon, Georgia you can find Escapada at Karats and Keepsakes- which is where I first discovered the brand. They make the absolute most perfect summer dress. The perfect summer shirt- skirt- shorts. All of it.
