This Outfit is Heavy!
Back to the Future.
It's hard, to sum up what these films mean to me. Escapism was very real in my household. My life growing up was hard. I always imagined traveling with Doc to times I’d always wanted to see. The creation of the pyramids, the first flight! You name it I wanted to go. They helped me. They inspired me.
January 2023.
Debating what to do while in London the idea of seeing a show came to mind. After some back & forth, we decide on Back to the Future: The Musical. To be fair it took so long because I thought Phantom might be the way to go but also I was afraid of seeing a musical based on one of my favorites. Afraid. ME. What?
My nerves were calmed though and now that musical I loved so much opens today at the Winter Garden theatre. As a bit of homage to my favorite character in any movie, I dressed up as Marty McFly and went to the Harlem Piers. That was quite the choice I will say.

So what do you think? did I nail it?
there's something about august in new york city that feels different.
the city is still buzzing, but the pace starts to slow just enough to notice. the sunsets come a little earlier, the humidity finally gives you a break (sometimes), and suddenly everyone is talking about fall—even though we're still wearing sandals.
i've always loved this in-between season because getting dressed becomes more creative. it's less about chasing every summer trend and more about mixing the pieces you've been loving all season with a few hints of what's coming next.
here's what's inspiring my wardrobe this august.
