Rose Garden // October 2025
Small, beautiful things. And an update!
Welcome to Rose Garden, your place to find small beautiful things in the 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’re taking family photos or just want a little photographic inspiration, 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 everything jacket.
RIP Diane Keaton
What a loss! My favorite thing I learned about her this month 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—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 reading this new version of Rose Garden as much as I loved writing it for you! More on that below.
With much love,
Olivia
An Update
I have a newsletter update for you after a LOT of overthinking!
Rose Garden (what you received above) is the new free version of this newsletter. It’s going to feel EASY without feeling shallow, and it’s going to feel beautiful. It will deliver once a month to all subscribers. Think of it as a monthly invitation to stop and notice something beautiful.
Paid Subscribers: You’ll get a 2nd monthly newsletter where I’ll be sharing honest reflections on finding beauty in the mess that is everyday life, deep dives into what’s inspiring me or helping me grow, detailed style guides and more. Up next: How to Make a Birthday a Love Letter!
Two Subscription Options: both great! Pick the one that works best for you and your life.
