This summer is turning out different than any other summer I have experienced in New York but I am lucky enough to have a patio and I have been making the best of it. One of my favorite things to do is sit outside on a beautiful day with a glass of wine and a a platter filled with some snacks.
I received these items from My Fashion Crate a seasonal subscription box for conscious fashionistas and could not wait to enjoy all of these items. Every season you get to enjoy curated products from emerging designers. The box includes 3-5 items including tops, dresses, jewelry, accessories, gift cards or beauty items.
For the summer box I received:
Poppy & Sage- Camilla Bag
A circle rattan straw bag. Poppy & sage is a sustainable fashion brand, the Camilla bag is handmade in Bali by women artisans.
Area Stars- Bahia Dress
A company founded to empower women of all backgrounds, styles & shapes with inspiration from travels around the globe. Area Stars works with the finest natural organic cottons and silks and employ artisans from villages in India.
Nailmatic- Pure Color
This plant based, eco friendly nail polish in pastel coral is the perfect tone for summer.
Carolyn Hearn Designs- Loved Necklace
This Rose Quartz pendant necklace made by Carolyn Hearn. Carolyn started creating jewelry as a way to express her ideas in college and the company quickly grew from there.
ADORAtherapy- Blissful Room Boost

This dress is absolutely beautiful and when paired with the woven straw bag it created the perfect outfit for a picnic.
The art of a food board:
1. Arrange food in patterns
