There’s nothing like the yellow dusting of pollen and the low-grade siren sounds of cicadas emerging (sorry D.C.) to tell us that summer is on its way. With Memorial Day less than a week away, we're unpacking last year's utilitarian outdoorsy favorites and setting our sights on the best season of all: PICNIC SEASON.
You heard us: Picnics are back in a big way. This season we’re settling into the warmer months by slowly reuniting with friends and family we’ve missed and making finger foods that won’t spoil on the walk to the park. So put on your bucket hats, lather on some SPF, and gather your gingham-lined baskets. We’ll see you there!

CREDO BEAUTY UnSun Mineral Tinted Sunscreen
UnSun's creamy formula comes in two shades with light coverage, while fitting a wide range of skintones.
WEST ELM Heather Taylor Basket
It might not be the most sensible pick, but we favor a classic picnic basket to a modern or insulated version.
FOOD52 Outdoor Zip-up Blanket
City dwellers: listen up! It's a picnic blanket that zips up into a tote, freeing up your hands for carrying items like your jumbo Jenga set, or Costco sheet cake.
W&P Porter Flat Bag Set
Consolidating your sips and snacks into a single bag is no easy feat. Reusable plastic baggies turn your cooler Tetris game into an organized, minimalist, and easy to clean up situation.
& OTHER STORIES Straw Bucket Hat
This internet-popular straw hat is the slighty more upscale version of a bucket hat for someone looking for a more put-together fit than the 1990's version of the trend.
WILD ONE Butter Walk Kit
Wild One's newest color is our favorite yet, it's called BUTTER and that's all you need to know about our 2021 summer mood.
OUTDOOR VOICES The Exercise Dress
A tried-and-true summer staple that now features adjustable straps. It's the perfect outfit for everything on your summer to-do list.
LOEFFLER RANDALL Gingham Sport Sandal
Last year's sport sandals got a major upgrade from Loeffler Randall. Dare we dub this summer the season of gingham?
Speaking of summer...
What are your favorite portable packing foods? Team favorites include: cheese sticks, breads & spreads, and summer fruit that doesn't require slicing.
We're looking to Alexis Nikole, The Black Forager on Instagram and TikTok, for guidance on sustainable and safe ways to find snacks growing wild all around us.
Anyone else feel like pollen season is three times longer than normal? Our team's been using Hilma for support.
