Pack a Picnic

It may be too hot to enjoy the outdoors mid-day, but I’ve been wanting to have a picnic all summer, especially while watching the sunset as the brisk evening winds pick up. How perfect would it be to grab the girls, find a shady area near endless beds of flowers, share laughs and smiles underneath the golden sun.  Go ahead, kick back your shoes, feel the grass between your toe, enjoy the simplicity of summer and become inspired to have you very own…

The perfect picnic requires flooring, and I was instanly drawn to this quadrado rug inspired by the brightly colored town square of Trancoso, Brazil. Now the bottle of wine has its own secure place in this picnic tote, or feel free to bring along this jug ready for your infused basil-ade, while you enjoy this refreshing summer salad on these sea blue inspired plates. I’m swooning over ombre dip-dyed pieces, maybe because I’ve been experimenting myself, but these extra-large blue napkins are perfect for any outdoor mess, along with these adorable handmade disposable utensil packets. To me the best part of a picnic is being able to bring my little buddy with me, but with the yucky fact of summer life: ticks, make sure you keep your dog safe by adding these to your regular routine. Then there’s only one way I’d want to end the night, star-gazing around the fire pit making s’mores.
