If your social media feeds are heavy on the cottagecore aesthetic, you won’t get through the month of May without seeing at least a dozen photos and videos featuring these otherwordly patches of blue scattered across the forest floor. However, shooting or filming in bluebell woods requires a lot of care and attention, and here’s why.

Styling a plus size princesscore look
The price tag certainly makes LeMuse’s styles a bit of an investment, but it’s so very worth it. I felt like an actual princess in the Mia dress and I was even stopped on the street while we were shooting and complimented on it!
Winter solstice, dark cottagecore edition
We shot this photoset on a misty winter evening last year, trying to capture that dark, almost holy sense of wonder (quiet as a nun/Breathless with adoration) that these northern winters inspire.
Dark academia at Barter Books, Alnwick
Barter Books is one of the largest second hand bookshops in Britain and everything that a second hand bookshop should be. Housed in Alnwick’s old railway station, it’s a bibliophile haven.
A wander through the Enchanted Castle
I fell deeply in love with the ruined orangery at Gibside. The tall brick arches with the overgrown garden within was like something out of The Enchanted Castle – my favourite Edith Nesbit novel.

It was the close of a perfect summer’s day out in the countryside. I wore my new Benji jumpsuit that had been gifted to me by Ace & Jig and I was worried that the fabric might be a bit too thick for the sun.
Flower season in the Teasdale dress
I’m hoping for more magical, sun drenched days so I can break out all the floaty, dreamy sundresses this summer, even if it’s just for a socially distanced walk around the block. In times like these, it’s the little things that breathe meaning into our days.
Wintry Daze
I’ve had a bit of an ongoing love affair with tiered dresses since last summer, so the Daze dress was an instant favourite the moment I lay my eyes on it.
Beamish Xmas family photos
We’d been planning to get some photos of us as a family for the longest time, and Christmas presented us with the perfect opportunity.
The Unicorn in Autumn
It’s no secret that I have a particularly soft spot for dark florals in autumn. It might not be groundbreaking, but a classic is a classic.
Blue gingham and cherry blossoms
Gingham and cherry blossoms are simply the perfect duo, aren’t they? I can’t think of any other print or fabric that immediately evokes summer.
The Faye dress in Sandstone
Last week, I got the most beautiful Ace & Jig dress in the post and I’m just head over heels in love with it. This is the Faye dress from their SS19 collection.
