The Cottage Life

To follow the cottagecore aesthetic is to wear second-hand clothes that tell their own stories; to bake fresh bread and cakes, no matter how wonky the outcome; to spend time in nature, observe and draw the plants, breathe fresh air and connect with species beyond our own. It is learning to slow down, connect with the world around you and be a more compassionate, conscientious citizen of the Earth. Best of all, possession of a country cottage is not a requirement for enjoying this lifestyle and reaping the benefits.
