Picnic back as trend
Travelerf the world. Picnic in big capitals' parks is the new trend . This is London lifestyle blogger Emma Louise Layla on a Regents Park picnic ... with so much style ...
"This photo were taken back in sunny September with my bestie, a picnic hamper, blanket and bottle of champagne. Perfect Sunday afternoon! We had a classic tartan picnic blanket just like this when I was a kid, kept in the car boot for when inspiration struck. This one is from Wool Blanket Online, made in Britain in a soft, pure wool Royal Stewart tartan (the Queen's tartan, dontcha know) and tied up with a handy carry strap. I'm wearing this black lace dress, my Jigsaw straw panama hat and probably the last SPF of the year. Now onto traditional autumn rituals..."
