This collection has many interesting things in it and here you have my favourite pieces to prove that, which are mainly baggy and see-trough. Seems like that shade of green will be making an appearance these months, giving a subtle military feeling. That reminds me of that time my mother bought me a piece of green cotton fabric so I could sew a bat-like top (seems like she foretold the trend, amazing).

Esta colección tiene muchas cosas interesantes, aquí van mis piezas favoritas dando preponderancia a los vestidos holgados y transparencias. El verde hoja vuelve con fuerza, haciendo una referencia sutil a lo militar. Eso me recuerda a que tal vez mi madre se anticipó a la tendencia cuando me compró este color de tela de algodón para que pueda coserme un polo 'murciélago' (me gusta llamarlo así, mas no sé si es el nombre correcto).

Well, if there's one thing I know, it's how to wear the proper clothes (Lisa, Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window, 1954). Bueno, si es que algo sé, es cómo llevar la ropa adecuada (Lisa, La ventana indiscreta de Alfred Hitchcock, 1954)

Lusting over...

I'm lusting over denim shirts, specially over light ones. An horizontal satchel (I already have a vertical one), similar to those Alexa Chung carries quite often. A bra that looks as cute as Phillip Lim's lingerie. Punk inspired jewerly. Wearing purple lips and jade colored nails. A Canon from the seventies. Cat eye sunglasses. Cool vintage looking t-shirts, just as those sold at modekungen. Printed denim shorts (like those from Topshop). Oh, and pretty sandals that aren't gladiators.

Quisiera una camisa de jean, pero no cualquier jean, sino ese de tono clarito. Un bolso de mensajero horizontal (porque vertical ya tengo), de esos que anda cargando Alexa Chung. Un brassier así de tierno como el de Phillip Lim. Joyas inspiradas en la subcultura punk. Llevar labios violetas y uñas color jade. Una cámara canon de 1972. Lentes gatúbelos. Polos de estampado vintage, como ese de Modekungen (toda la ropa de ahí es para embelesarse). Shorts de jean de tiro alto, pero estampados (y si es con rosas como esos de Topshop, mejor). Ah! Y casi olvido: sandalias lindas que no sean gladiadoras.

Basics don't need to be actually 'basic'.

We speak about "The Basic wardrobe" all the time, about those pieces that shouldn't be missing in our closet, those we'd keep, if possible, forever. The thing is, sometimes we think "basic" literally refers to basic. Let me explain myself: That gray T-shirt or white shirt you've been desperately looking for doesn't need to be boring. I found a store I feel pretty much understood that concept, it's calles James Perse and I took some of its designs to show the idea I've just mentioned in images. They all could be considered as "basics", but with an interesting twist (be aware of the details). What do you think of what I've just said? Do you agree? Anyway, enjoy!

Hablamos del armario básico todo el tiempo, de las prendas que no deberían faltar y que podrás conservar, de tratarlas con cuidado, toda una vida. Sin embargo, no nos confundamos, prenda básica no significa que ésta tenga que ser literalmente 'básica'. El polo color gris o la blusa blanca que tanto te hace falta y buscas desesperadamente pueden ser sencillos y combinables y todo sin ser aburridos. Encontré una tienda que percibo que sigue este concepto, se llama James Perse y tomé algunos de sus modelos prestados para poder traducir todo esto que acabo de decir en imágenes. Cada prenda cumple con la función de un "básico", pero cada una tiene también un giro interesante (¡alerta a los detalles!)... y ustedes, ¿están de acuerdo conmigo? De cuaquier forma: distruten!
