Hello Friends!
I'm popping in late today. But still wanted to say hello. I thought I would share a vibe, aesthetic, whichever word you want to give it. It's basically a look I love.
This definition is from my pinterest board called Cottage Core and you find it if you click here.
Here are some more pins from that board to give you even more of an idea.
Yes, I even have some cottagecore outfit ideas pinned. 😁💛✨
As well as room, vignettes, and decorating ideas.
I think it speaks too me as it's already a part of my daily life. I love to cook and bake and spend lots of time in our kitchen. Even with our new healthier bent - I still love researching recipes and ideas. I love gardening and planting flowers. I love nature and I use a lot of that in my decorating....obviously lots of woodland kinds of things, because of where we live. I like to use use a lot of vintage china and pottery in my decorating. As well as books, flowers, and lots of family photos.
Just a few moments in my home currently that show some of my cottage core aesthetic. My daughter always jokes that I decorate "grandma". But I think what she means to say is cottage core. 😉
I'm curious....what would you call this whole idea/vibe?
Grandma chic?
Cottage core?
Something else?
Matt and I have a lake cottage and property up at Ten Mile - that his parents rent and live in part of the year. One day we'd like to either build something additional on the property, or fix up and add on to the existing cottage. When I dream on it I think I'd really like to do a Scandinavian cottage core aesthetic.
But that's a story for another time. 💗
Blessings

Oooh Carrie! I love this! I love the description, the feel of it, the cozy comfy vibe. It's perfect.
ReplyDeleteLOVE all of this. These photos clearly speak comfy and warmth.
ReplyDeleteCottage is definitely my thing too :) There's a Scottish Fairy youtube channel and she has all the elements you mentioned. I love your "grandma" vibe :)
ReplyDeleteI love your style whatever it's called! And that outfit is something I'd happily wear to work (except that in glaring fashion faux pas, I'd need to wear it with tennis shoes because preschool kids and heels don't mix, LOL). Always love coming by your blog and seeing what your posting. Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely cottagecore, grandma chic, but most of all, it's beautiful YOU!
ReplyDeleteAawww you're the sweetest Jo! Thank you 💗
DeleteI also call this cottagecore. I have been crazy about this look since the 1980's. Think Laura Ashley and English Cottage. It seems they keep trying to rename it Grandmacore, but when I was 18 it wasn't that I was into grandma stuff it was just the English cottage movement. All things old come around again and if in England, Nordic, and even Asian areas this folksy style is never really out of style is it? Love your little house on the bookshelf! I have been eyeing those they are so cute!!
ReplyDeleteI remember loving Laura Ashley in the 80's too and had a comforter with her pattern, Sherry. Those little light up "rooms" you put between your books in the bookcase are so cute. But a little putzy to put together. Just FYI. I recruited my daughter's artsy friend to put mine together. Lol
DeleteYour photographs are gorgeous, Carrie. I had never heard of the term 'cottagecore' until I read this post. X
ReplyDeleteI love that style too, those cutting boards are too cool, I made one myself kind of like that years ago and I put a clip on it to attach my grocery list to, so I can add to it my list whenever I run out :) My whole house isn't like this but bits and pieces here and there, it is kind of a combo of both of our likes right now. I do like your touches too :)
