Rose Garden // Our First Stroll
Start here for small, beautiful things.
Welcome to Rose Garden, your monthly delivery of 5 small beautiful things from Land of Oaks and Roses.
La Familia:
I’m so drawn to this shoot of Awar Odhiang and her family by Sebastián Faena. If you want a little photographic inspiration for capturing families, there’s lots to find here.
Everywhere Jacket
I wore this jacket for my own family photos after being inspired by the above shoot. But I’ve also worn it to drop-off, a birthday, on a hike, out to dinner… It’s an everywhere jacket.
RIP Diane Keaton
What a loss! My favorite thing I learned about her since her passing is that she was an avid collager.
Mom Medicine
There’s probably something you feel guilty about right now. I pulled this page from Dr. Shefali Tsabary’s new book to show you that fucking up as a parent is natural. It will happen to each and every one of us. On a regular basis. It’s part of the job, and might I add, the birthplace of your growth.
Grace Wales Bonner
I haven’t been excited about luxury fashion news in a long time, but I’m so excited about Grace Wales Bonner becoming the Creative Director of Hermès menswear. Not to sound like Devil Wears Prada, but, if you don’t know who she is and bought a pair of Sambas in the last five years it’s because of her :) I can’t wait to see what she does at Hermès.
I hope you loved your visit to Rose Garden! Read on for more places to explore in Land of Oaks and Roses.
Don’t give up on beauty,
