Modern Heirloom 🤍

I’ve been realizing lately that my style is shifting—still feminine, still soft, but more grounded. Less costume, more everyday.

I still love cottagecore, but this feels like the authentic version I can actually live in. Natural fabrics, muted tones, simple silhouettes… pieces that feel timeless but still like me.

Kind of like if cottagecore grew up a little.

Something quieter. More lived-in. More real.

Clothes that feel like they could be passed down, but still belong to me right now.

This is the direction I want to build and grow toward 🌱

Starbucks released a limited edition Miffy collab a while ago! I was worried I would not be able to get anything and that it would all be sold out by now but I scored a water bottle, tumbler, and mug! 🐰

📖 What happens when the world ends—but language, memory, and longing remain?

Canon by Paige Lewis is a surreal, lyrical journey through fractured landscapes, impossible beauty, and the strange tenderness of being human. Blending poetry, myth, philosophy, and speculative fiction, the novel drifts between dream and reality with haunting imagery and emotional depth.

It’s the kind of book that feels less like reading a story and more like wandering through a vivid hallucination—full of whales, ruins, oceans, loneliness, and wonder. If you love literary fiction that is imaginative, strange, intelligent, and deeply atmospheric, Canon is a book that lingers long after the final page.

✨✨✨

What makes this book so interesting:

🐋 If you blended ancient mythology, absurdist humor, and lyrical poetry together, you’d get this strange, inventive novel—one that playfully satirizes both myth and modern society.

🐋 The fantastical plot refuses to obey either literary convention or the laws of nature: whales talk, oysters sing, and God arrives on Earth wearing a tracksuit.

🐋 The story constantly flips binaries on their heads, from its nonbinary protagonist to its playful questioning of morality, identity, and meaning itself.

Optimistic nihilism, but make it cottagecore 🌻

No grand destiny. No cosmic purpose. Just tea, books, thunderstorms, flowers growing through cracks in the pavement, and the freedom to create a gentle life anyway.

There is something comforting about knowing existence needs no justification. The sea does not explain itself. Neither do wildflowers.

We are temporary creatures on a floating rock, so we might as well plant lavender and wear pretty dresses. And because the universe owes us nothing, every small joy feels a little miraculous.

This dress was my first ever Neuflora piece — the one that got me hooked! 

This is the gorgeous Maryland dress. It’s cream with a navy blue and gray floral print with a tie bow in the back and gorgeous scalloped lace trim on the sleeves. Of course, it also has hidden pockets! 💕

I’m wearing it with my Mansur Gavriel camel ballet flats and Vidawheel Aphrodite gold pendant necklace. How would you style this gorgeous dress? ✨

And lastly, an illustration of me in my happy place surrounded by cats ♥️

Finally making a post about my favorite necklace 💕

I’ve always loved Greek mythology, and Aphrodite has long been one of my favorite figures. There’s something so beautiful about the idea of love, beauty, softness, and self-worth emerging from the sea foam itself.

Every time I wear this pendant, it feels like carrying a tiny reminder of self-love and femininity with me. I also adore the contrast between the soft pink details and the gold—it catches the light so beautifully ✨

The necklace is from a small brand called VidaWheel, and I genuinely love how their jewelry feels both meaningful and wearable at the same time. If you like affordable pieces with symbolism and storytelling behind them, you’d probably love their work too.

Personally, I’ve been eyeing their Persephone pendant for ages 🌸
