Sometimes I like to complain about how hot and sticky it gets here in the summer, but then you have those days when the weather is just perfection. I mentioned in my last post that I planned to go to a picnic yesterday. My roommate and I actually ended up going to two picnics. We met up with one group of friends first, then we walked over to another section of Brooklyn Bridge Park for the second picnic. There was a lot of snacks, a little bit of prosecco, and good company, which made for a lovely Sunday afternoon.
Tell me: How was your weekend?

![It's a very belated book haul! These are the four books I picked up on my trip to Australia back in May. Of course I had to check out some bookstores on my first trip to Sydney and I think I ended up visiting 9 in total (check out my stories to see the mini bookstore vlog I made)!

It was so fun book shopping over there since majority of the covers are different from our US covers. I couldn't resist this pretty edition of PACHINKO, which I've already read. And when I picked up this copy of PEOPLE PERSON, I was so excited to see it because it wasn't out yet in the US at that time. I also bought two books that I hadn't heard of before I discovered them in the bookstore: IDOL and LOVE AND OTHER PUZZLES.

Do you tend to prefer US or UK book covers?

Sounds like the perfect way to spend the weekend, and yes, we did have some perfect weather! Not so sure about the rest of this week, but hopefully it will turnout okay.

Welp, I don’t know about where you are but it’s pouring rain here right now! Hopefully this is it as far as precipitation this week!
Picnics are such a lovely way to enjoy those weekend afternoons. The weather was really nice since the humidity was relatively low. I had to work on an indoor shoot on Saturday but I did get out to brunch on Sunday.

Brunch is always a great weekend activity! I wish the weather from last weekend would come back- it’s gotten a bit too humid for my taste!
Sounds like a fun day! Love your dress (and bangs).
Thank you Shenneth! :)
The perfect outfit for a sunny day! You look great! Oh I wish I could spend a day like that, it has been raining so much here in Mexico since Friday :(
Thank you Maru! Aww, I would send some sunshine but it’s raining here today too!
I haven’t gone to a picnic in forever! I think your friends are more fun then mine. lol. Your dress is the perfect picnic dress!

Thank you Kacie! Haha, I don’t know that my friends are more fun, but we do like to picnic :D
Two picnics sounds both exciting and exhausting! You look darling :)

Thankfully they were in the same park, so it wasn’t too bad. I just felt bad because one was a rather last-minute plan, so I didn’t bring anything! Thank you Jenmarie :)
you look lovely! that outfit is just so perfect for summer and picnics!
Thanks so much Jane! :)
