How Barbie and Bows Took Over Our Homes

Fantasy Meets Femininity in Cottage Coquette: Where Innocence and Interiors Intersect

In direct contrast to the girl boss movement of the last few years has come the revival of the innocent ingenue; a soft, feminine embrace of our youth and sweet motifs that signal simpler times, soft hearts, and all things girly. Pinks, pastels, bows and flowers have taken over our social feeds and social lives; from ballerina-core makeup to bouncy blow-outs styled with bows, meticulous manicures in nice-girl nudes to beautiful buttercream cake creations piped to perfection. And while fashion, food, hair and make-up may have led the trend first and foremost, it wasn’t long before our insta feeds were fed with interior trends that befitted our very own Barbie dreamhouse. And yes, mortgage rates may keep our dream house closer to the realm of dreams than reality, but it hasn’t stopped us from adorning our décor with dainty bows and delicate frills that befit simpler times and sweet saccharine style.

So just how can you re-create your very own slice of sweet interior pie?
