- Food. Like more than you would ever need, ever. Not having enough food at a picnic totally ruins it. Good picks? Egregious amounts of cheese. Champagne or Pimms. I prefer Pimms because it screams summer. Lots of fruits and veggies. Some kind of freshly baked bread. All of these elements put together and you're golden.
- Blankets. More than one if you're picnicking in a somewhat hardy area such as on top of a mountain in the wind. (That's extreme picnicking for you right there.)
- Card games, Frisbee, or if you're having a solo picnic. Summer without Frisbee isn't really summer. 'nuff said.
- Assorted cutlery, plates and glasses. Don't be the one who makes everyone swig out of the same champagne bottle or forgets a knife...tearing off cheese with your teeth is too barbaric, even for extreme picnicking.
- Extras: Music that won't piss off everyone around you, a cooler filled with ice for serious warm weather picnicking, large hats, desserts, thermoses filled with tea, croquet.
Flats: UO, Scarf (tied on wrist): Vintage Liberty of London, Dress: Vintage, Belt: Thrifted, Hat: Bought in a random store in Maui
Where is your favorite place to picnic?
P to the S: My twitter link is now working. Sorry for being hopeless. I seriously need a twitter tutor.

I just stumbled on to your blog and I love this post! I was just thinking about going on a picnic today! My favorite place to picnic (so far) is at McCormick's Creek. It's a national park near my house! :)
WOW this is so fun to read
i once went picnic at the side of a waterfall here in Malaysia , my family are not so fancy with picnics because my mum can't stand to be under the hot sun, sigh.
In my country ,not everyone is really into picnic i guess it because we don't have a lot of nice venues , living in the city its so hard to find a place to picnic. Some Parks here don't allow us to do that.
anyway u have lovely photos for this post ♥
I have not picnicked in sooooo long. I am truly inspired. A picnic needs to happen soon.
I've just found your blog & I'm so pleased I did!
Your photo's are adorable!
Spring is just starting here, so hopefully sometime soon I can go on a picnic myself

I love picnics! This is a great post with awesome tips. :) And these pictures are lovely. They make me want to go on a picnic!
My favorite picnic was probably one I had while visiting family in Alaska. We had one at the Arboretum. It's basically like this giant garden. So beautiful.

Lucy , :) sorry for the late reply i didn't have time to log in my blog today
About the software u asked me , i used photoshop to adjust the colors but recently i found a better way to edit my photos
i download ATN ( Photoshop action files from Devian Art ) , there are tons of it , thanks to all the artist and designer who shares them
its easier cause its just click away and it will auto adjust the photos
my fav atn - are vintage colors , and u can try color processing actions too
its all in DevianArt :)
Oh I love this post!
