Roberta_bio.jpgRoberta Jane started Camp Comfort over two years ago as a way to stay inspired by, and in touch with, the fashion industry. Based in Portland, OR, Roberta Jane packs her blog full of dream outfits and offbeat inspirations. All the while channeling her quirky, casual style.

With summer quickly approaching and the days getting warmer, it has been my goal to spend more time outside. One of my favorite warm-weather activities is a good old-fashioned picnic with friends. This summer I will be heading out to Portland’s Sauvie Island for picnics filled with berry-picking, good food, yummy drinks and awesome friends. Here’s a round-up of some of my summer picnic must-haves spotted in the wonderful world of Etsy.


Philosophy: My philosophy for any picnic (or general outdoor adventure). silk screen print by slidesideways

The Outfit: If you’ve ever read Camp Comfort, you’ll know I’m kind of obsessed with clothes and personal style. A summer picnic is a great opportunity to throw on something fun and casual for a day outdoors.
