Let’s Get Started!

Thrifting always feels like a treasure hunt, but some weeks, the finds are extra special. This week, I stumbled upon a beautiful collection of vintage and cottagecore-inspired pieces that I can’t wait to share with you. From romantic florals to timeless denim, here are my favorite secondhand gems and how I’d style them.

The Showstopper: Handmade Crochet Blanket with Pink Medallion Roses

This was my top find of the week—an intricately handmade crochet blanket with delicate pink rose medallions. It’s the kind of piece that tells a story, likely made with love by someone who poured hours into every stitch. Perfect for draping over a vintage armchair, layering at the foot of the bed, or even using as a tablecloth for a cozy tea party.

Vintage Patchwork Jean Jacket

The ultimate statement piece—patchwork denim tells a story of past trends and craftsmanship.

Pink Gingham Skirt & Black and White Gingham Skirt

Timeless, feminine, and perfect for a cottagecore wardrobe.

A versatile staple that can be styled in endless ways.
Style Idea: Wear with a fitted ribbed turtleneck and loafers for an elegant, put-together look.
