Scenes From: An Afternoon Picnic

Jul 10, 2012

Our last few days have been so lovely! I'm certain that blogging in the summer is absolutely my favourite thing, ever!! Just this past weekend, Martin & I headed out for an ocean-side picnic. We sipped white wine + read a slew of home decor & travel magazines - so perfect. And the next day was spent lounging by our pool and doing more of the same; it's been such an amazing summer so far... I wish it would last forever!
Now that the hot weather has officially hit, I've been loving the easiness of throwing on a great dress, plus I'm so in love with this one... and yes, more stripes. Hehe, my closet is over flowing with them. I just can't help myself. As for the rest of today?! Well, aside from work, I'm hoping to end my day off with a visit to the beach and catch the sunset. I know, summer living is hard, hard work. Happy Tuesday, friends!
Outfit Details: 
Dress - c/o Ali & Kris
Belt - H&M

  43. When summer comes in Vancouver, it really comes, doesn't it? I have been loving every second of the beautiful weather we've been having and it looks like you've been taking advantage in a wonderful way, too! I love seeing your little family out for a picnic - that Scout is always such a charmer! And your striped dress is so easy breezy and perfect for a summer day. How lovely! Hope we'll see you this weekend, my friend.
