Picnic perfect!

It's a bit cooler here today which has me thinking it's a perfect day for a picnic. Here are a few tips and fun ideas for you to make the perfect picnic chic experience for yourself and your friends.

1. Start with a cute basket - I like an open top basket so things can be piled in.

2. Set the scene with a cute throw blanket and a few pillows. I love the Chevron Blanket DIY found here-- Drop cloth chic!

4. Stick with a simple theme, like fruit, cheese and small sammies.

5. Pack food into mason jars, they are very sturdy. Mason Jar salads and cakes are always a huge hit! Fab how to found here..
