One of my fabulous, dearest friends Venesa is celebrating her 30th
birthday with a fun picnic party with her closest loved ones. I love
that picnics can be a laid back affair, and personally I always feel
most like myself in something I can literally throw on that's chic,
comfortable and effortless. With two boys it can sometimes feel like a
daunting task trying to get all dolled up while dodging applesauce on
their fingers and ketchup on their lips. I thought these two options of
coral and mint pieces made for a great spring/summer ensemble for
any occasion.

Outdoor parties are sort of tricky spaces to decorate, yet if kept simple you will be pleased with the end result. There are a handful of creative ways to fill your designated party space: paper lanterns, pom - poms, streamers or balloons are great choices to make the area more festive.

It's essential to have something to sit on in case the party is chosen in an area with limited park benches or if the host only provides a few chairs. So a comfy folding chair, towel or blanket preferably with a waterproof back like the Anorak ones pictured below is key. Although they aren't waterproof the Target Zip and Carry line has bold, fun, solid and print blankets at a very affordable price and are machine washable.

No picnic is complete without an assortment of tasty foods and delicious drinks and treats. Here's a few links for some picnic menu ideas:

With hopefully an abundance of warm weather days ahead of us, I hope you get to enjoy a picnic every now and again even if it's just to celebrate living in the moment.
