![Do you have any decor-related holiday traditions? 🎄
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A Christmas village has been part of my annual decorations for as long as I can recall! My mom put them on top of my piano when I was a little girl, and when I got older and moved out, I received some pieces of my own (with a few from my childhood mixed in). 🤎
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When I chose to renovate my living room this year, I knew I’d need to find the perfect new space to display my village, come Christmas-time. This gorgeous @sauderusa cubby shelf felt like it was *made* to show off all my favorite pieces! 😍 It has been so much fun to find new ways to #SauderStyle these shelves over the last few months! 🙌🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Each evening, I turn the lights on and feel a little bit of Christmas spirit come to life inside my heart. ✨ Which pieces would you want in your holiday village? 🏘️

I’m a sucker for lovely, lightweight midi dresses during the summer.
My summer style preferences have altered drastically over the years. When I once lived in crop tops and tiny cutoffs, I now prefer demure midi dresses or blouses tucked into paper-bag shorts. I tend to enjoy more chic and classic pieces, and I am truly thrilled when I find an item that ticks all the boxes. This dress did precisely that. I also had a good giggle when I realized I looked almost identical to Wendy from Peter Pan in this ensemble (just slightly more mature)!
You may not be surprised that I gravitate towards midi dresses, as my blog was truly filled with them last year. From the iconic blue, linen dress that gave me “Allie from The Notebook” vibes to the darling eyelet number that I swore was perfect for spring weddings, I was set with all the midi dresses I could want or need (seems like blue dresses are also a trend in my wardrobe, eh?) I love the swish of the material against my shins, and the way this style makes me feel elegant and poised.

What a pretty dress – you look great! This is perfect for something on the casual side, but I could see it being a good option for a bit of a dressier event, too.

with how unpredictable the weather is here in England, a midi dress and a jacket is always a good idea. Nice color
I don’t know what I love more, the button detail or the flutter sleeves?! So cute.
oh that is SO beautiful! I love the button front!
You look amazing! I love the dress and it really suits you! I love the shoes and bag you’ve styled it with as well and how they all compliment each other. I wish I was confident enough to wear a dress in the summer but I just continue to suffer with the hot weather by wearing jeans because I’m self conscious. Maybe one day I’ll find a dress I like enough to wear!
Love the color of this dress, so pretty and it looks fabulous on you! Perfect for summer! xoxo, Sarah
Absolutely loving this light blue dress and how flowy and adorable it is! I am also rocking my white sandals constantly and think everything goes well with them!
These photos are so beautiful, you look amazing! Midi dresses are basically my uniform in summer, haha! Love your choices.

It’s funny how our styles change like that over the years and it’s cool to look back and see how we’ve evolved. This dress is giving me Disney princess vibes on you! x

This dress is so gorgeous on you! Midi dresses are my favorite for summer. So comfortable!
You look absolutely stunning! I really love the yellow one. I think that will always be my favourite colour for Summer ☺️
I love midi dresses because I can wear them to work without worrying about being too revealing (I’m taller so a lot of shorter dresses just hit too high above the knee) and still be light and comfy in the summer. Also this dress would TOTALLY make the perfect Wendy Disney Bound! For real, I might have to get it and add a couple of Peter Pan details to make it into a Disney Bound outfit 😉
Oooh this looks great for summer! Love the ethereal feel and it looks so light and flowy.
You look so lovely in this midi dress and it totally suits you! I own a few midi dresses and love wearing them for work during summer seasons❤️
This dress is oh so sweet on you! I love the lighter color and the midi length. Also, I am absolutely loving your hair. It looks amazing lady – the perfect cut for you!
