Perfect Picnic Provisions

{ Via: Vogue }

 One of my fondest childhood memories are the picnics that my mom prepared. Most were in the backyard, and nothing super fancy. But I remember that red coca-cola cooler, the metal pitcher of Koolaid, and just being happy.  This post features picnic perfect provisions that will find you making your own stylish spring memories.
