Disclosure: A huge thanks to World Market for sponsoring today’s discussion.  #SummerGetaway

Hey, everyone! Summertime is finally here! Which means lots of dining & entertaining and a ton of  bbq & grilling, am I right? My favorite place to shop for outdoor goods (as well as pretty much anything else) is World Market. There is a World Market about a half an hour away from us so loading up the car with the kids and grabbing a coffee on the way is the perfect Saturday activity. We love going and browsing around the store – there are always incredibly unique things there – things you wouldn’t find anywhere else. While browsing World Market I began to make a mental checklist of things that I absolutely adored,  a “top outdoor pick” mental checklist.

Want to see what I loved from the outdoor section?

Here are my Top Outdoor Picks (as shown in photo):

  • Multicolored Umbrella Paper String Lights – I really want to get these for our outdoor umbrella! I think the kids would go crazy for these! And they’d be perfect for when it’s getting just a little dark outside.
  • Blue Glass Yorkshire Dispenser  – I’m thinking this baby needs to be full of ice-cold lemonade and outside on my patio table right now! I love the color and love how easy it is to get a drink (no pouring!).
  • Yellow Palm Cove Occasional Bench – This bench is bright, cheery, and everything I need in my life. Or, my front yard. It’s the perfect cozy little seat for two!
  • Blue Aberdeen Umbrella Canopy – I am just in love with the pattern of this umbrella. It’s so bright and vibrant, perfect for any patio set.
  • Yellow Lamai Ceramic Lanterns – These lanterns are a great indoor or outdoor accent piece! I could see using them outdoors and on my kitchen table.
  • Blue Durresi Metal Dining Set (5-piece) – This patio set makes my heart pitter-patter, it’s gorgeous. The royal blue is so classic and I love the design. Perfect for a family to enjoy some outdoor BBQ on!
  • Blue Beer Garden Outdoor Dining Collection – This is just too cute not to mention. I love the benches and table of this set – and the teal color is so on trend.
  • Green Indoor-Outdoor Pouf – This is another one of those items that I could see myself using outdoors and indoors. It would be great to prop your feet up outside on, and also great to use as an ottoman indoors!
