Welcome, welcome!
Come on in, and make yourself at home. I’m so glad you’re here.
I’m Olivia. I’m a writer, mom, and former fashion founder who started a newsletter after lots of searching, learning, waiting and growing.
Beauty is our birthright, and the best place to find it is in the mess and magic of everyday life. Once a week, we do that searching together here in Land of Oaks and Roses. We explore small beautiful things, style, motherhood, and the quiet work of growing into who you are.
Your Guide to Land of Oaks and Roses:
Under the Oaks is a big beautiful quiet spot to sit and read.
The Rose Garden is where you’ll find small beautiful things.
At the Market is for browsing what’s in season.
Main Street is where you’ll bump into perspectives on style from Land of Oaks and Roses readers and friends.
How We Grow is where we go deeper and learn together. This series is for my paid subscribers.
10 Things I Love is our treasure hunt through the seasons.
Vista Point is the special spot with the view.
Community Pool is where I introduce you to who else I’ve met around the Substack pool that you have to read, watch or listen to.
If you ever need help finding your way around or have a question/comment, reply to any story including this one. I love hearing from you!
One last thing: If you’re pregnant or have a new baby, this is my mom list. I originally made it for my best friends who got pregnant after me but it’s now helped thousands of you too.
Thank you for being here! I’m so, so happy to have you.
With much love,
Olivia
p.s. Reading is more fun with friends!
