Hi, and welcome to Land of Oaks and Roses! If you don’t know me yet, I’m Olivia.
Hi, and welcome! If you don’t know me yet, I’m Olivia, and my newsletter is called Land of Oaks and Roses. Rose Garden is the free version of this newsletter. It’s a monthly delivery of 5 small, beautiful things. You can read the first one below!
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.
Wishing you more small, beautiful things.
With much love,
Olivia
