How to be more Cottage Core

We are feeling super inspired by the Cottage Core trend these days. The prespect of picking flowers in a field of wildflowers, wearing a cute little sun hat and floral dress, sipping on a cup of tea while feeling the summer breeze in our hair, we are ABSOLUTELY SOLD on it! Here are some ideas of how you can incorporate this trend into your daily life .

1. Cottage Inspired Playlists

Music has a way of taking you away to a different place. Give these impeccable playlists a listen while getting dressed in the morning or going about your daily life. And especially when you braid your hair while you look into the mirror as the early morning sun rays are peeping through your window. They will for sure evoke your inner Cottage Core gal.

2. Picnics in the park

Grab you bestie/significant other and get in the car (after putting a flask of coffee, a picnic blanket and basket in the boot) and drive out to a lovely stream and have a picnic there. Be sure to breathe slowly, listen to the birds chirping and be present while enjoying each other’s company.

3. Excuses to pick flowers

Look for opportunities to pick flowers. Everywhere you go, bouquet-inspiration is everywhere! Nature is full of blooms this time of year. And blooms are free. Pick a few flowers next time you are out for a walk and put together a little bouquet and leave them on a friend’s front porch. Be sure to smell the flowers too. Be present. Stay in the moment and breathe it in.

Not only will it have given you endless pleasure looking for pretty florals along your path and made you focus on the beauty around you, but you also got to make someone’s day a tad brighter.

4. (Flower) Power Dressing

When in doubt, always pick a floral dress to wear. Floral dresses are perfect for picnics, great for enjoying a sunny spring day while also looking like you just walked out of a cottage in the woods. Pair with a straw sun hat and a plait in your hair.

See below these gorgeous dresses that are available for purchase on Taylor Cove Collection’s store.

5. Create an English Cottage Garden

This article has been seen on Palmer’s website and we squeeled with delight when we saw it. If you can Cottage Core the wits out of your garden, then teatime will have gotten 10 times better!!!

6. High Tea

Now that your garden is sorted, we need to talk about tea time!!! Tea is a cottage core favourite! Especially if you have your own strainer. Look for flavours like rose petals, chamomile and elderberry. We love these images from Forage and Bloom.

7. Wear our Cottage Core collection
