![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? 🏘️

Greece or Richmond – you decide!
Alright, I’ll cave – it’s Richmond, but of course I wish I was in Greece! I mean, who wouldn’t want to enjoy summer in Santorini, am I right? The moment I put together this outfit, I knew exactly where I wanted to take the photos. There was such an effortless summer vibe with these lightweight materials and beautiful colors, and this cute little Greek restaurant fit the bill for the perfect location!
You may notice a luxurious addition to my summer ensemble. This vintage Louis Vuitton “Manhattan PM” bag was a dream to “own” for a couple of days! Dillard’s Short Pump was kind enough to let me borrow it in preparation for their vintage handbag event. Did you know select Dillard’s locations offer vintage handbag showrooms? They’re spectacular!
Outfit Details
Louis Vuitton “Manhattan PM” bag borrowed from Dillard’s Short Pump (shop here)| similar top | similar skirt | shoes | similar neckerchief | earrings
When I drove home with the bag safely buckled into the front seat of my car, I began to envision the outfit I would wear with it. Or rather – the outfits.
The “Manhattan” monogram is basically a neutral, as well as a classic investment piece. There’s nothing quite like vintage Louis. It’s never going to go out of style. As I write this, I’m suddenly convincing myself to add it to my wedding registry… someone talk me out of it. I gotta make sure someone holds me accountable whenever I go to Dillard’s Short Pump from now on!
I purchased this skirt on a whim when I realized it was the exact same style as one I literally lived in last summer. The only difference? It’s a solid color rather than a print – and I believe that makes it even more appealing since I can wear it with many other colors and patterns! It’s incredibly breezy and comfortable, and it has pockets! I enjoyed pairing it with the warm brown shoes and bag – and the gingham neckerchief provided a cheery pop of blue! This summery ensemble is definitely suitable for Santorini.
I can totally imagine this whole look in Santorini! Let’s just all take a trip right now because I’d totally be down! You are looking SO fab as always. Just love the skirt and bag paired together. Just so cute, obsessing over this whole look and of course the bag.

I love your outfit, and your shoes are really cute!!

You look so darn cute! Definitely a good outfit for Santorini, or any vacay for that matter. I wish I was somewhere fun, instead of working. LOL!
Such a cute outfit. Looks like you need to make this a “Santorini outfit for real” and plan a trip there. Then you can compare the food lol 😉

What a cute outfit and little area! I wish my place had cute little cafes like this! Also, how classy is that bag!
I love your style especially the vintage bag.
Yes, who wouldn’t want to go to Santorini? But Richmond looks great too and it feels “Santorini-ish.”
Ahh, what I wouldn’t give to be in Santorini right now!
How lucky you got to borrow that Louis bag – it’s so cute and I’m in love!

You almost got me though! I didn’t realize Richmond had such cute locations that can make anyone second guess it was Santorini! That’s also one of my top destinations on my bucket list 🙂
