Get Your Picnic On

If you do not want thoughts of all things Mother of Pearl , then do not read on. I finally got to sit down this morning and read the Sunday Times Style Magazine (all 4/7 later I know). Laura Atkinson’s style barometer was en pointe. She thrust me in to a picnic-themed blog frenzy and here we are.

Luella Navy Check Blanket with Carrier.

 

Can we discuss the picnic bag- a luella navy check blanket with tan carrier bag. Is it a bag with a blanket or a blanket with bag? Either way I’m loving the navy and tan palate.

As I research Mother of Pearl this morning, I am drawn from the original idea of writing about picnic and basket/ beach bags to pure picnic talk. Whoever would have though there was so much to discuss. The TV show ‘Keeping up Appearances’ springs to mind when I say the word. I have no idea why. I guess Amy Powney delved deep in to the Yorkshire landscape for this fabulous SS18 collection as inspiration. Next, I envision all things gingham.

Check these babies out. The ‘Amber’ mule , also by Mother of Pearl. You can wrap the silk in multiple ways to suit your picnic needs.

Maise Striped Dress in Bue silk

Fancy some silk knots wrapped around gold rings? This plunging back V midi is the one for you. Pair with them stunning gingham Amber sandals and your ready for your cucumber, crustless sandwich cut.

The Aspen Striped Shirt; how delightful! The split, silk cuff is held together by a dainty pearl and chain; Attention to detail spot on. Pass me the prosecco, I would definitely picnic in this.

Mish Mosh en Francaise.

Inspired by my current French adventures through Bretagne, I was compelled to piece together a maritime-je-m’apelle-Fabienne-styled outfit.  Note the introduction of wintere-sque items ( leather gloves and beret) to balance the savoury coloured blend of reds and blues.

A must for all who are living near a market. Ownership of a handmade, woven basket is the upmost necessity for your Saturday morning spree. Fill it with a delightful bunch of fresh sunflowers or peonies. Fill it with what makes you happy and do so clad in a comfortable pair of loafers, wool jumper and a french spring in your step.
