For those of you Sydney siders who are staying in town for the silly season (and there is nothing wrong with that!) it's hard to know where to begin when it comes to celebrating summer.

So look no further. Concrete Playground have put together the inaugural Summer Guide - a comprehensive shortlist of the best this city has to offer over the next three months, from roof top bars, beaches, picnic spots, outdoor dining and much more. Available to purchase for iPhone/iPad or in softcover; The Summer Guide means there's no excuse for a wasted summer in Sydney this year.

let's picnic!

These free picnic printables from Amy Moss at Eat Drink Chic have inspired me.
Time to get the gang together for a little gourmet picnic, me thinks.
