SHOP: MY NSALE PICKS/PURCHASES
The Nordstrom sale is in full swing right now! Public access started on 7/21 & the sale goes until 8/6. As a reminder, this sale is extra great because Nordstrom releases brand new arrivals for fall at discounted prices! Now is definitely the time to stock up on fall essentials. If you haven't taken advantage of ordering yet, shop some of my favorites & check out what I ordered below:
MY TOP 3: Outerwear
Halogen Asymmetric Wool Coat (3 colors; under $150)
*Ordered this coat in gray, size small. Loved the color & asymmetrical style however I found this coat to run big; it was too large & boxy on me. Needed an XS at least, size down.
Kenneth Cole Coat (2 colors; under $150)
1 Madison Parka (2 colors)
*J picked this coat out for me in stores. As soon as I tried it on, I knew it was coming home with me! It is so warm but not bulky, and has so many pockets. This coat is still a splurge even on sale, but I have a feeling I will be wearing it for a long time! I am wearing size XS & found this coat TTS.
MY TOP 3: Denim
DL1961 Skinny Jeans (have this style & love them! Under $100)
AG Raw Hem Skinny Ankle Jeans (on sale for $150, after sale $225)
BlankNYC skinny jeans (budget option!)
MY TOP 3: Dresses (all under $100)
Chelsea28 Bell Sleeve Dress (under $100) (also comes in a sweater!)
*Ordered this dress in gray, size XS. It's a little longer than I expected (hits right at my knees, but I love the ribbing & the pleated sleeves so I think I am keeping it!). Fit is TTS & slightly fitted to your waist.
WAYF Lace Midi Dress (under $60; wear now & later)
Socialite Lace Up Sweatshirt Dress (only $35!)
*Ordered this dress in size XS & found it to fit TTS. I love the lightweight sweatshirt material & cute lace up front detail. I plan to wear this dress now & in the fall!
MY TOP 3: Tops (all under $50!)
BP Pocket Tee (4 colors; under $20!)
MY TOP 3: Sweaters
Topshop stripe cardigan (under $60)
*Ordered this sweater & am sad to be sending it back. Such a cute color block print but I recommend sizing down. I ordered size US 4 which is supposed to fit like a 0-2, but still found it to be too oversize. I would recommend your normal size or one size down.
Leith Circle Cardigan (4 colors; under $50)
Treasure & Bond Off Shoulder Sweater (under $50)
*Ordered the striped version in size XS & am returning this one as well. Too cute but I don't have enough up top to keep this sweater up around my shoulder lol. Size down or wear slouchy off one shoulder.
MY TOP 3: Athleisure
Hinge Tie Front Pullover (under $50; also here in pink)
Zella High Waist Crop Leggings (3 colors)
Nike Juvenate Sneakers (have in white; so comfortable!)
MY TOP 3: Booties + 1 pair of OTK boots
Dolce Vita Zipper Booties (4 shades; $105!)
*Ordered in black; size 6. Loved these online & in person, just not so much on my foot. The toe is slightly too pointy for me. I found the fit to be TTS.
1 State Zipper Bootie (4 colors; under $80)
*Ordered in gray to replace my booties from last season. Love everything about these. The color, heel, zipper & fit. Ordered my usual size 6 & found them TTS.
Franco Sarto Booties (3 colors; under $100)
*Tried these on in stores but the right & left booties didn't have the same amount of distressing (they didn't even look like a pair!) I ordered a fresh pair in brown, size 6 (also TTS) & they are perfect! Love the chunky heel.
Stuart Weitzman OTK Boot
MY TOP 3: Shoes (all under $100!)
Louise et Cie Stacked Heel Pump (5 colors; under $100)
Halogen Leopard Slides (under $60)
Dolce Vita Studded Sandal (2 colors; under $100)
MY TOP 3: Bags
Rebecca Minkoff Backpack (on sale for $217, after sale $325)
Tory Burch Leather Satchel (on sale for $329, after sale $498)
*Ordered in black & while it is slightly smaller than I had thought, I already think this bag is going to be my new go-to. The quality is on point & it also comes with a longer shoulder strap.
Vince Camuto Suede/Leather Cross body Saddle Bag (3 colors; under $200)
MY TOP 3: Accessories
Lulu DK Initial Pendant Necklace (under $50; also available in gold)
BP Leopard Scarf
Marc Jacobs Square Watch (on sale for $165, after sale $250)

SUMMER MIDI DRESS
How stunning is this dress? I bought it specifically to wear for my birthday dinner & then wore it twice since then! I just keep finding it to be the most perfect dress for all of my summer occasions! I love the length, the print, the colors & the cute tie straps at the shoulders! Apologies for the overload of photos in this post, but I can't get enough of this one :)

4 SUMMER PIECES TO WEAR YEAR AFTER YEAR
Today's post is a round up of those summer staples, the no-fail pieces, outfits your can wear summer after summer & know you will be comfortable & on trend! Below are my top four pieces to wear year after year:
1. Denim Shorts - If there's one casual item I love in the summer, it's my denim shorts! I wear my denim shorts everywhere - from out to dinner, to the beach, to running errands on the weekends. In fact, the more I wear them, the better they get They are the ultimate summer staples & look great with outfits ranging from dressed up to super casual to boho.

2. Gingham Print - Next up is my ultimate summer print! Floral prints definitely work through the warm weather months, but nothing screams summer quite like gingham! I am always wary of this print looking too much like a picnic table, so my tip is to stick to neutrals like black, navy or gray rather than red.
3. The Color White - My favorite summer color? White! I know it's the obvious choice, but it happens to be my favorite for summer. You can add touches of white into your outfits or go full monochrome with lots of white. I usually like to get as much white as possible during the summer :) Everything from white jeans, to white dresses to white shoes!
4. Rompers/Jumpsuits - Now, we all love a good sundress during the summer. They are easy, keep you cool & come in endless styles/colors but often times I find a jumpsuit or romper to be just as easy & even more comfortable since you don't have to worry about flashing anyone due to the wind or how you are seated. ;) For these reasons, naturally, jumpsuits/rompers had to be added to my list of must haves for summer.

I gotta be honest with you guys, I definitely overestimated how much Wifi would be available on my cruise! It's been tough to keep up with commenting/blogging while I've been away, but bear with me for a few more days & I promise I'll be getting back to all of you when I return home from my trip! In the meantime, you can see what I've been up to on Instagram @michelle_orsi.

HIS & HERS: SNEAKER STYLE
Back with another his & hers post for you all today! This time I'm showing you all how J & I style our white sneakers. I have had the opportunity to team up with Skechers a handful of times and each time I swear their shoes get better! These white sneakers (for both of us) are my favorite pairs yet!
I love that this pair of sneakers that Jody picked out almost look like boat shoes. They have a nautical feel to them which are perfect for the summer & look great with every outfit J wears. He has been dressing them up & wearing them casually & they look great both ways. Plus, he loves that this sneaker is a relaxed fit - the laces are more of a detail than a necessity and that he is able to slip them on & be ready to go quickly & easily.
I am obsessed with these embroidered white sneakers for summer. You may recall I had a black pair during the winter that I wore nonstop. I was sad when I had to store them away for winter because of the fabric & dark colors and then was over the moon when I found this pair! You already know I love a good white sneaker - they match everything & can be worn a million different ways. The embroidery on this pair takes them to another level. I paired them with a dress for a crisp, all white look for these photos, but have also worn them with shorts for the weekend & jeans and a white tee to really allow the embroidery to stand out!
J's Look: Top & Shorts: Walter Hagan | Sunglasses: Oakley | Sneakers: c/o Skechers (5 colors; under $60)
My Look: Dress: Shopbop | Sneakers: c/o Skechers (lots of colors & styles)
