Sunset Beach Picnic


This Friday Date Night 
Jeff and I had a 
Sunset Picnic at the beach.


Our  picnic this week was inspired
because I couldn't wait to take my new
Gourmet Trotter Picnic Hamper
out for it's inaugural spin!


This luxurious beauty hails from the UK
and 
comes stocked with linens, china and glassware
all loaded  smartly onto a golf bag trolley!
No more miserable picnic arrivals 
loaded down with all of my pretties and food and drink!
And now my wicker rolling cart can just be used for blankets and candles!


For our beach picnic
I chose to wear my cotton lace caftan
I found at Soft Surroundings.


I added my hat from Australia's Lack Of Color
and 











Our loaded picnic hamper made it through the sand just fine
especially the harder sand was a  breeze!




Just a word of warning if you are picnicking on California State beaches.
Alcohol or glass isn't permitted.
But they won't come and search for it either
so discretion is best.
Once for a photo shoot I had an open bottle out  for the shot
and
 was made to pour it out by a patrolling policeman.
I recently found out they can even write tickets.

It's seldom ever a problem with discretion
but I wouldn't want to lead anyone astray!


As the sun began to go down
the beach quickly emptied out.
We are always surprised how empty
the stunning sunset beaches can be.


We came across abandoned sand castles …


that were being reclaimed by the sea.




We had come  to watch the setting sun
and
what a beautiful show it was!



As always my friends


I wish you love and joy 
as you style your life

  1. It looks glorious! How I remember the wonderful So Cal beach picnics of my younger years, as well as all the ones I have enjoyed in visits since then. Can't wait to be there again in a few weeks!

  5. What a brilliant idea is the Gourmet Trotter Picnic Hamper. Picnics are such a lovely idea and so often hard to carry off easily but with one of those babies, it looks like a piece of cake (no pun intended). Love your caftan. Your photographs are always sublime. Thank you always.

  14. I often look at clothes in certain catalogs and assign them to my "fantasy life." But you're actually living it! Such fun to read!
