Your Essential Picnic Accessories

We do hope you choose to join us during our summer's journey to self-improvement. If so, we have compiled a list of picnic essentials that can help even the most unrefined locate her innermost lady. Not that we own any of the below but it doesn't mean we can't dream of possessing such fabulous goods or suggest you spend your own money on them.

The first device is a pretty floral picnic basket to hold all of your dignified items. It includes proper utensils, a salt and pepper shaker, a wine bottle opener, ceramic plates and glassware. Meaning: no more plastic (ghetto) champagne flutes and paper plates from Sainsbury's!

Not only is this faded floral picnic blanket padded, but it's also waterproof for the hardcore lady who isn't going to let a little meadow dampness get in her way.

I thought this was a pretty ingenious tool that not only comes with built-in knives to cut your delectable cheeses, but can also be used to display your foods in the tiered high tea fashion. Of course we all know that nothing says "I am a proper and sophisticated lady!" like afternoon tea. Guaranteed to make your fellow picknickers jealous of just how classy you are.

Ideal for those day picnics that last into wee hours of the night, these glow in the dark wine glass holders are a must! Not only do these help you find your drink in the dark, but they also keep your fine glass from falling over. Especially handy if you're like us and stupidly think the best picnic spots are sloped grassy knolls.

And for those hot and sunny days, why not try a pretty handheld fan or lacy parasol? Guaranteed just holding one will make you feel more ladylike!
