Sunset Beach picnics
are one of my favorite things to do this summer
here in
Southern California.
As much as I love going out to many of the amazing restaurants
we have here
there is just something magical about packing a picnic
and
heading down to the beach for sunset.
Sitting on the beach
watching the sky change colors
with a good glass of wine
is pretty much summer at it's best in my book!
To make packing up a picnic easierI have recently been collecting pieces to make a stylish beach picnic a snap!
Like these gorgeous tiffins from
Mur Lifestyle
Not being one who enjoys cookinga one stop shop at either Whole foods or Trader Joe'sand some quick repackagingand I'm ready to hit the beach with a beautiful healthy and stylish meal!
Pulling out my French wicker rolling cart
Beach People roundie beach blanketa couple of wooden and canvas chairs and tablesand drinks packed upand we are on our way!
A little bouquet is always a special finishing flourish I adore.
I have also been collecting
Weck glass containerswhich work perfectly for individual salad servings.
The tiffin containers open up to great serving piecesas well as individual portion dishes.
For drinksI bring my new
Corkcicle Canteen
with enamel tumblers by
Falcon Enamelware
The Corkcicle Canteen is my favorite new product!This medium size holds and entire bottle of wineand keeps things hot or cold for ten hours!
The many color selections are absolutely fresh!
I am adoring picnics so much these daysI reorganized my kitchen cupboard just so I could organize all of my new picnic supplies together!
On our picnics I'm all good with winewhile my husband prefers gin and tonicsso I have outfitted a vintage train casejust for traveling gin and tonics!
Inside I keep it stocked with the small bottle of SapphireFever-T tonicsa small cutting boardand two hand made ceramic tumblers.
A small vintage bottle for flowersand stainless cheese cutters for the cutting board.
I even have a vintage table cloth tucked in the bottomand keep all the glass pieces protected by wrapping then with coordinating cloth napkins.
This little traveling bar caseis also perfect for hotel stays on our road trips.
I always put it away fully stockso I can pull it out in a flash for any impromptu getaways!
I hope I have inspired you to take your own sunset picnics …

they are a perfect way to get out and experience some fabulous natural beauty.
There is something truly soulfulabout a good mealwhile making the time to just take in the changing light …
