Who What Wear: The Park

WHO: A picnic in the park is a great opportunity to spend a whole day outside. It can be fun with you and your significant other or more of an event with a bunch of friends. I love the idea of putting together a big group of friends and making a day out of it. When the weather is great, there is nothing better than to spend the day outside with some good food, good games and good company!

WHAT: After packing your picnic basket (seriously everyone needs one of these), go and grab some easy and fun outdoor games to bring with you. Some of my favourite summer days are the ones where we stay outside all day playing lawn games with drinks in our hands! Some great outdoor games are croquet, ring toss, and horseshoes.

WEAR: When I was deciding what the perfect picnic outfit would be I realized this could really go two ways. If you're going on a picnic with maybe just one other person and the only plan is to relax and eat, then a dress or skirt would definitely be a cute option. I decided to go with jeans and a simple top because I find it easier to move around in and you don't have to worry about how you're sitting or fuss with your outfit. I think this outfit would be the perfect thing to wear for a spring picnic. I love the pop of colour from this Joe Fresh shirt, and nothing screams spring/summer to me more than stripes. I feel like a good straw or floppy hat is such a spring/summer essential. I love the hat I chose from H&M, but Anthropologie also has a ton of great hat options (here) that shouldn't be missed. Finally, my favourite part of this whole outfit is definitely the watermelon purse. How freaking adorable is that? I love the idea of fun prints for spring and summer, and this bag from H&M is perfect.

Who What Wear

For a while now I have been thinking about doing a series like this. I think deciding what to wear to different events/locations/outings is always one of the things I struggle with the most (I know my boyfriend could comment on that...). So I thought why not combine the two and make a series that hopefully will help not only me, but you as well! So here goes the first who, what, wear.

WHO: A trip to NYC is truly for anyone and everyone. I feel like there is so much to do and see that this great city really does appeal to everyone. The few times I've been lucky enough to go have been with the boyfriend or with my best friend (who now conveniently lives there!). Both times were so great and so much fun. I love having a smaller group or just a twosome so it makes it easier to plan and do exactly what you want.

WHAT: How do I even begin to choose the "what to do" in NYC? That's a pretty hefty question! I decided to stick with the Natural History Museum. We ventured to this museum last spring and I loved it. I love exploring new places, but by no means do I understand art (I so wish I did). But the Natural History Museum appeals to everyone, I mean who doesn't love animals? So take a morning or a rainy afternoon like we did, and go explore! It's also located in a great location on the Upper West Side with lots of cafes and restaurants around for a bite to eat after!

WEAR: Since it is still very much winter here, I figured I'd put together a winter look. I love the idea of a leather jacket and layering a big scarf to keep warm. This way it's easy to strip down layers if you get warm while walking the museum. I'm also a big fan of a cross-body bag for exploring. I think it's such an easy way to explore a city, or this case museum, because you don't need to be holding your bag and can have your hands free.
