One of my favorite ways to spend a summer afternoon is packing a picnic and heading to the park. For this shoot, we headed to White Rock Lake, laid out our striped blankets, took pictures, and then drank sparkling rosé as the sun set. I also think this would be such a fun and low-key way to celebrate a summer birthday! Here’s what to wear and what to pack for the perfect picnic…

My must-haves for the perfect picnic:

1. striped Turkish towels

2. pom pom basket tote

3. floppy sun hat

4. tassel t-shirt

5. white jeans

6. Converse sneakers

7. Texas cutting board

8. Baguette, berries, cheese, grapes, and pasta salad

9. Chandon sparkling rosé

10. Lilly Pultizer tumblers
