What can I say? I'm a sucker for a black and white outfit, especially one involving my beloved Helmut Lang leather leggings, a key ingredient in my ongoing quest for the perfect basics.

Speaking of which! This boyfriend-fit Current/Elliott white button-up shirt is my new favorite. It has an intentionally rumpled look, which means I never have to iron it, and it never looks unkempt!

Score.

My big brother's coming to Seattle for a visit this weekend — I'm stoked! We're gonna hit up the EMP, wander along the Puget Sound, stuff ourselves full of big brunches and decadent dinners, sip on craft cocktails, and party it up with friends. That's a recipe for success right there.
