 In your Django settings file, define a subclass of `DjangoBaseSettings`:
 
 ```python
+from django_base_settings import DjangoBaseSettings
+
 class MySiteSettings(DjangoBaseSettings):
     allowed_hosts: list[str] = ["www.example.com"]
     debug: bool = False
@@ -39,7 +41,74 @@ DEBUG = False

-Field names in `DjangoBaseSettings` are case-insensitive and can be overridden through environment variables.
+### Nested Settings
+
+For more complex configurations, you can define nested settings using Pydantic models:
+
+```python
+from pydantic import Field
+from pydantic_settings import BaseSettings
+
+from django_base_settings import DjangoBaseSettings
+
+class CacheSettings(BaseSettings):
+    backend: str = Field("django.core.cache.backends.redis.RedisCache", alias="BACKEND")
+    location: str = Field("redis://127.0.0.1:6379/1", alias="LOCATION")
+
+class MySiteSettings(DjangoBaseSettings):
+    caches: dict[str, CacheSettings] = {
+        "default": CacheSettings()
+    }
+
+my_site_settings = MySiteSettings()
+```
+
+This configuration is equivalent to:
+
+```python
+CACHES = {
+    "default": {
+        "BACKEND": "django.core.cache.backends.redis.RedisCache",
+        "LOCATION": "redis://127.0.0.1:6379/1",
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Environment Variables
+
+Fields contained within DjangoBaseSettings and BaseSettings objects can be assigned values or have their default overwritten through environment variables, providing flexibility for different deployment environments.
+
+In this example:
+
+```python
+from django_base_settings import DjangoBaseSettings
+
+class MySiteSettings(DjangoBaseSettings):
+    default_from_email: str = "webmaster@example.com"
+
+my_site_settings = MySiteSettings()
+```
+
+You can configure the value of default_from_email by creating an environment variable, which will overwrite the default value:
+
+```bash
+export DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL="admin@example.com"
+```
+
+You can also specify a different environment variable name:
+
+```python
+from pydantic import Field
+
+from django_base_settings import DjangoBaseSettings
+
+class MySiteSettings(DjangoBaseSettings):
+    default_from_email: str = Field("webmaster@example.com", env="DEFAULT_EMAIL")
+
+my_site_settings = MySiteSettings()
+```
+
+In this example, setting `DEFAULT_EMAIL` as an environment variable will override the default value of `default_from_email`.
