- how to pretend u live in a studio ghibli movie -

 



do you ever watch a studio ghibli movie and get so immersed in the world that u wish that you lived in it? well my love, this post will tell u exactly how to enter that world and romanticize ur life while taking on the studio ghibli aesthetic, also known as ghiblicore. this will be split into sections such as clothing, food, small habits, hobbies, playlist, etc...


clothing 𖣳


the studio ghibli clothing vibe is very simple but cute! it's like a combination of cottagecore, igari, and grandma style. the characters usually wear warm or natural tones. i will be designing a closet for you with a bunch of studio ghibli essentials for inspiration. 

if you want to actually buy the exact clothing item in the photo , there is a way to do it! i was too lazy to actually check if you can buy it and put the link but there is a way to do it. if you want to find out how to find the clothing item + buy it, click here --https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OSVPuktSsxdIAr9qx4hqpRqET1VKV1C8K7ohneWkxzc/edit?usp=sharing

hobbies 



every girl needs some hobbies to spice up her life . here are some hobbies i suggest doing or picking up to feel like you are a studio ghibli character.


  • reading (specifically in a backyard full of flowers with ur cat laying on ur stomach heheh)
  • tidying ur room. i know it sounds boring but think about how you can make it fun! imagine ur arrietty, twirling around ur room in a red dress, cleaning up ur "own little garden."
  • listening to music (while laying on a green hill if possible). the next section will be on a studio ghibli playlist i made that u can listen to
  • exploring ur own city. take a stroll around ur beautiful city. u might even discover some mysteries hidden...
  • biking. bike around while playing aesthetic music.
  • baking or cooking aaaah u can make such aesthetic things!!! not only can u use the studio ghibli recipes i linked but u can also just bake some soft bread or cookies like kiki's bakery.


here are even more ideas (not mine!! credits to @_aesthete.niche_ on pinterest)




playlist 


i constructed a little playlist for u that gave me studio ghibli vibes. i hope u like it!!! u can listen to it while doing any of the hobbies above, when u start ur day, during school or work, etc etc


of course, you can also just listen to studio ghibli's soundtrack on spotify~




habits




  • if u can, take public transport to school and work 
  • whenever u see a field or grassy hill, run to it and lay in it and just chill and be happy!
  • feed stray cats <3 
  • instead of using a washing machine and a dryer machine, hang ur clothes in the sun to dry on a clothesline
  • DAYDREAM !!
  • take a little afternoon nap in ur backyard or something 
  • spend time with urself, in silence
  • draw or paint nature
  • like the photo below says, do a bunch of little whimsy things (there will be examples )




whimsy habits + stuff to do !!! (these are not my ideas, i found all of them online and i chose some that reminded me of studio ghibli. credits to owners)

- say goodnight to the moon at night / tell the moon ur problems


- tell ur dishes it's bath time when you wash them


- when you're peeling garlic, ask "may i take your coats?'


- carry a pouch of bird seeds with u and feed the birds throughout ur day 


- draw hearts on ur face with moisturizer 


- drink tea and eat berries


- make a wish on the butterflies or ladybugs that land on ur hand


- write handwritten letters


- every once and a while, skip and twirl around


- go to a cute cafe or the library to study


- lie under the sky and watch the clouds


-  drawing a small spiral or a heart on your shower door anytime it gets foggy


- bird watch (use the merlin app) 


room

the last necessary step is of course, ur bedroom! it can be anything you like but make sure to include some studio ghibli decor which could be posters, lamps, plushies, etc. if u want to know what sort of colors, i would say dark green and white are good to fit the aesthetic.





if you want to put up some posters, u can print them out using a special canon printer or just find some on pinterest and use google slides to print them out ! 




if u want to buy some studio ghibli themed things, here are a few links for u










you can also diy soooo many things!!! for example, u can use pom poms and glue these soot sprites in the corner of ur room !!! 




you can make a totoro cardboard shelf !!!



paint ur door!!!





other

i just wanted to include a few websites that give me SUCH studio ghibli vibes!!!!!!! they are both games 



https://slowroads.io/#A2-a76ed291@0 (put the settings to hills, spring, sunny weather, and bus.)










and that is all i have for u! now it is ur time to soak all this information in and live the studio ghibli life you are destined for. you got this!!! 


comment any questions, comments, concerns. u can request what aesthetic i should do next or what my next post should be abt!!!!
