a lowcountry picnic + matchbook magazine.

I'm super excited to finally share this picnic a few friends and I put together for the July issue of Matchbook Magazine. We devoured berry shortbread bars, ran through dewy grass and drank fancy cocktails courtesy of Brooks' (the "spectacled gent with the boyish grin") Jack Rudy Tonic. The picnic was shot by Ben of course, which reminds me how lucky I am to call my favorite photographer a close friend.

I cannot thank Matchbook and the lovely Katie Armour enough. We had a total blast, and I'm still a little giddy about being included in this beautiful publication. For more photos and recipes, check out the article (page 100).
