Welcome to Rose Garden, your monthly delivery of 5 small beautiful things from Land of Oaks and Roses.
1. Team Baskets
This is my current favorite bag on the market. It’s under $250. I’d wear it out to dinner with jeans and an oversized blazer. As you probably already know, I’m very passionately on team baskets!
2. Back to Work
A reminder as our kids hustle back to school and we hustle back to post summer work. In honor of poet Wendell Berry who passed away at the end of August.
3. Make It Fast
I don’t understand how we’re expected to make dinner when we get home from after school activities at or after dinner time… doesn’t make sense! This new cookbook by Caroline Chambers is truly my only shot at it.
4. Early Mornings
I’ve been waiting for the restock of this specific color way of AYR’s Early Mornings tee, and it’s back for delivery this month. I already know I’ll be in it 3x a week.
5. Forever a Gilmore Girl
I saw this on Instagram and have to pass it on because it’s the best thing ever: if you start watching Gilmore Girls from the beginning on September 22nd, and watch 4 episodes a week, Stars Hollow Fall will be Fall, you’ll hit the holidays during the holidays and get to Spring when it’s really Spring. This is how I plan to keep my nervous system happy before bed probably while wearing these.
The background I used throughout this story is a vintage painting from Slow Roads.
Sending you back to school/real life hugs! It’s a big month with lots of change. Hang in there.
With much love,
Olivia

These outfits are creative even when we don't try because we’re mixing things that don’t usually go together.
I sometimes use affiliate links when sharing product recommendations, which means I may earn commission when you make a purchase through a link in this story. This doesn’t cost you anything, and I always only share what I authentically love.
