When it comes to summer I feel like there is something I just totally missing. Summer has never been my cup of tea. I build it up every year and convince myself that summer will be this magical time that will involve doing all of these fun outdoor activities, dining al fresco, and getting plenty of Vitamin D. But in reality I avoid being outside like crazy in the summer. I reserve outdoor fun for spring and fall. Ah, fall I am counting the days until your arrival.

There is no denying that during the last month I have been staying inside as much as possible to avoid the extremely hot weather. I am crossing my fingers that this weekend will be different. The weatherman is promising me surprisingly early fall-like weather this weekend and I am holding him to it. An outdoor picnic sounds like a perfect activity to include in my birthday weekend. I think I may have featured this striped top on here before but I really love it and think it is a fun go to piece for casual summer days.

P.S. Have you ever played croquet? I haven't but I am convinced that if I owned this croquet set it would be one of my favorite activities for when I'm hosting friends.
