Spring and fall are my favorites, and fashion-wise what they are all about is purchasing core items, for the season. Leave winter and summer, for those not so essential garments that you can get on sale, and focus to start with the basics.
One of my dream things for spring (and fall) has always been khakis as are chinos for summer. Now Gap has always been known to make the best khakis around, for ages, and really even if you looked for in designer brands, you will see they are hard to find. Sometimes A.P.C does similar, sometimes MHL, but I don’t have any store close to me, and khakis are another of those garments, you need to try first.
Combined with a basic t-shirt and some sneakers, my perfect spring outfit.

La primavera y el otoño son mis estaciones favoritas, y en lo que se refiere a moda es el momento perfecto para comprar los básicos necesarios para la temporada. Todo lo que sea mas capricho y menos esencial es conveniente dejarlo para el invierno o el verano cuando son las rebajas.
Una prenda que llevo deseando hace años para entretiempo es un par de khakis, y para verano unos chinos. Gap siempre ha sido conocido por hacer los mejores, desde siempre, y es curioso que aunque se intente buscar en marcas menos masivas y mas exclusivas cuesta encontrarlos. Hay veces que A.P.C o MHL sacan algo similar, pero no es lo mismo y sin duda viviendo en España no hay forma que pueda acceder a probarlos, la única opción sería online. Y unos khakis, bueno yo no me los compraba sin probarlos.
Combinados con una camiseta básica y unas zapatillas, tenemos en mi opinion el perfecto conjunto para primavera!

If Chile is good in something related to fashion, it has to be sneakers. You find all the ones you want, at the same US prices, and that means in between ten to sixty euros less than what you pay in Europe, sometimes even less!
So of course I am doing my thing, and getting them here, and this pair was another one I couldn’t miss. A classic black and white combination, perfect for any outfit!

May I introduce my newest pair of all white sneakers: the classic and full of history: Jack Purcell.
Since I saw this exact same sneakers on my friend Omar last summer I have been lusting like crazy over a pair. He is a big inspiration for me, since he is one of the only individuals on earth that shares my exact same taste for clothes…and life! Unfortunately in Spain they were only available for order online, and I almost ordered them before my trip, but at the end I didn’t and i’m so glad. The sizing is small compared to the All Star model so ordering online was a big no, no for these. Luckily for me in Chile these sneakers are available to buy in all the Converse stores. So of course the second I saw them, I went for them in a blink of an eye.
For all of you wondering about the history behind these sneakers, i’ll tell you a little bit about them. The Jack Purcell sneakers are an old classic from Converse that has recently been re-launched (think something in the line of Adidas Stan Smith model or the famous Superstar). They are named after Canadian badminton player John “Jack” Purcell. He designed these sneakers as early as 1935, and Converse purchased the rights for them in 1970s and has been selling them ever since. You can say owning a pair of these, is owning a piece of history.

Mis nuevas zapatillas blancas, un clásico de Converse el modelo Jack Purcell.
Desde el verano pasado, cuando las vi en mi amigo Omar que me enamoré de estas zapatillas, desafortunadamente en España no las vendían en ninguna parte, solo por internet. Casi las compro antes de viajar, pero me alegro de no haberlo hecho ya que el tallaje en este modelo es distinto al de las famosísimas All Star. Por suerte para mi, en Chile las venden en todas las tiendas Converse, así que nada mas verlas fui a por ellas, y aquí están!
Ahora si os estáis preguntando cual es la historia tras estas zapatillas os la contaré. Son un modelo antiguo de Converse que recientemente ha sido re-lanzado para volver a darle la popularidad de antaño (algo parecido a lo que hizo Adidas con las Stan Smith y las Superstar). Su nombre es en honor a su creador el jugador y campeón mundial de badminton John “Jack” Purcell que las diseño nada mas ni nada menos que en 1935 lo que hace de estas zapatillas todo un pedazo de historia. Converse compró los derechos en la década de los setenta y las venden desde entonces, en varios colores y variaciones.
Si estáis pensando en comprar un par os dejo los sitios donde podéis hacerlo online.

I borrowed my mom’s signature scent (mine is Diptyque too, but I will keep it a secret for now) and mixed it with some of my beauty everyday essentials). My latest addition is a Nars lipstick, and it is my new favorite thing.
