Aloha Sprinklerinos,
This week I started looking at leather boots online so I know for sure that Summer is tucked up in bed and Autumn is here. Hooray. Autumn is my most favourite season but that's another post. THIS post actually, haha.
A couple of weeks ago Matt and I, along with our amazing friend Clare, took Darcy to a nearby beauty spot to take THIS photo but naturally, Mama and her big girl camera went a bit snap-tastic. I considered leaving them loitering on my desktop since it's now Autumn but no, they've made it into Glitter Land. Sneaky little buggers.
Sadly these aren't my lovely pins. These are Clare's and this was totally a 'didn't even mean to take it' shot. I just think it's so beautiful. Darcy has so much love for Clare and I'm so glad that she has such kind, intelligent women around her. Smoosh smoosh smoosh.
Summer 2013 was good to me. Garden parties with friends, Baby Glitter milestones, trips to see friends, a big ol' visit to LA, half a million YouTube subscribers, date nights, lazy days and a lot of laughter. Dare I say it? Summer 2013 was my best Summer yet.
Here is a big farewell to Summer 2013 and a deep hopeful breath in that Autumn follows in it's fruitful footsteps.
How was your Summer? Are you able to summarise it in under a paragraph? Tell me in the comments.
Toodlepip!

GORGEOUS PHOTOS! Darcy is just precious. The last one is especially heart warming. The summer flew by for me, I spent 3 weeks in Denmark then the rest of my time enjoying LA with my friends. You can't ask for anything more!
ReplyDeletexoxo
I agree, that last picture is just so so cute!
DeleteI am missing summer already, as happy as I am to dig out cute boots and jumpers, I also sort of want to jet off somewhere warm...

I loved this summer! I was nominated for 6 blog awards here in Ireland, got to visit London with Smashbox, got brave enough to start a YouTube channel and redecorated the spare room! It flew by week by week but it was a brilliant few months all in all. I'm glad it's autumn now, I feel all cosy already but am refusing to turn the heat on until October. We'll see how long that lasts...
ReplyDeleteI love your photographs! I hope one day I get a loving handsome husband like yours. I can't wait till he comes on your main channel and finally do a proper husband tag. I would love to hear what you guys thought of each other when you first met. :) <3
ReplyDeleteDarcy is just too adorable. <3

It's really nice to see a little bit more of Matt lately, sometimes even in videos. Doesnt he mind anymore?
ReplyDeleteLots of love and happy autumn!

My summer was great. Had the time off from college and spent it with my 2 year old. We played in parks, we visited museums, visited family and everything else that goes with free mummy time. Took tonnes of photographs, blogged about it and cherished every moment.
ReplyDeleteIt's sad to be back at college and away from my son after such a nice summer. Getting jealous of you being a stay at home mummy!

ReplyDeleteI am ready for summer to end. My summer was productive but very hot. Japan summer is way too hot, and I'm from Florida, lol. Can't wait for fall and winter! It was 85 degrees farenheit outside today.
I'm so devo its the end of summer for the Northern hemisphere, cos I'll be living in London from next week! haha

Hey Louise,
ReplyDeleteI love the picture of you, Matt and Darcy together. So cute!
I enjoyed my Summer, with spending 2 months in London with my BFF and brother. And now I'm living here in London, studying Nursing. I had many trips to the city of London, to different parks, Harry Potter Warner Bros. Studios, and I'm looking forward to Christmas. It's my favorite time of year... apart from the horrendous cold!
Luv you lots & lots Louise :)

Aww, Darcy is so cute and she's really getting older!
ReplyDeleteI went to Dubai and Istanbul this summer, so my summer was pretty cool(or well, it was hot as hell!) too :D
Darcy is such a cutie!
ReplyDeleteMy Summer was Incredible! well technically it was my winter because I am Australian but as I was in the Northern Hemisphere I got 2 summers! I am on my Gapyear so have been travelling all over the place. I went to Paris, Spain, Morocco, Ireland and all around the UK! I got to go to summer in the city (where I met you!) and this monday I am off for a 24 day trip around Europe before I go home to get ready for another summer!!
it has been a few exciting months!

What lovely photo's! Darcy is growing up so fast, but even though Summer is over just imagine the amazing snaps you're going to get of her at Halloween and Bonfire night and especially all the lovely photo's at Christmas! xx
ReplyDeleteLovely summary Louise - so glad you've had such a good summer and I hope the coming months are just as good to you, especially in regards to subscribers because come on, you deserve at least a million :)
ReplyDeleteMy summer has been brilliant: first big family holiday in a few years (cruise round the black sea then turkey with my mum, dad and brother), finding out while sailing out of Istanbul that I got a first in my degree, going to see Robbie Williams & Olly Murs, GRADUATION!, trip to London with the family where we saw Derren Brown and Harry Potter World, and a 3 week trip to Vietnam and Cambodia... such a lucky girl :) (Though I think I deserve it after 5 whole years of university!)
Now...just to sort of the rest of my life!!

Gorgeous pictures, Louise!
ReplyDeleteMy summer was a mixture of everything really. My 'real' life drowned in Uni work and awful stress that made me totally unhappy with my life but on the other hand, I got my blog and youtube channel really working and found such amazing friends in the online beauty community. Let's hope there will be less of the first and more of the latter in the next months! :)

SO CUTE! My summer was pretty dull, but with a few significant things happening. I got my results, I met up with friends because one of my friends moved to Essex, and I went to the USA :-)
ReplyDeletehttp://daisychainprincess.blogspot.co.uk
Beautiful pictures! I also enjoy summer but love when Autumn gets here. My summer was good, but mostly filled with school since I was finishing up my Masters degree. But now I can say that summer 2013 was the summer I finished school! (As far as I know I have no plans on going back to school anytime soon) I was a bit sad to not be able to do many "summery" things, but it's worth it to have accomplished something else.
ReplyDeleteKeep Smiling!

Ohh Your photos are absolutely cute, perfect and pretty! I love them! Wish I had a camera too :(
ReplyDeleteYour summer seemed like one of your highlight of 2013! I can easily tell how come! haha
Well, for my summer 2013, I went to Paris and it was an amazing escapade! I loved it so so much! And I also went in London! Yay! It was also very fun, I liked it a lot, I did an afternoon tea, which I got sick because I ate wayyyy to much, but I love cucumbers sandwiches! And little cakes, omigod! and Also, I loved Primark, Oxford Circus street, taking the red buses, every thing was perfect, except you damn expensive pounds :( but still it was one of my 2013 highlight and probably the most extraordinary thing I ever done by myself, I planned everything from A to Z, my BFF was with me and I could talk about it for hours!

I wish my summer was as great as yours. I spent half the summer fasting and of course, I couldn't do anything but lie around and wait to eat again. The only part that was very interesting was the road trip I went on. Now, that was fun. Pennsylvania is by far the most beautiful place I went to. I loved watching the stars from car. We don't get to see stars in New York City. And other than that, I spent most of my summer reading.
ReplyDeleteAww! Baby glitter is so adorable!

I had a great Summer vacation! Last Summer I had an internship that sucked the life out of me and I literally had no time for fun, friends, or family. So this Summer I said, "Screw it! I'm going to do what I want!" I already had a trip to Europe planned since Winter so I hopped on a plane to London with my best friend and her mom to explore London, Paris, & Rome (I've never been to these places so it was a blast). And then I went on two road trips to LA (once with my family and once with my friend's family). I am so happy and grateful that I was able to have a whole Summer to unwind from a stressful and monotonous first year of college and working. There were some bumps in the road, having to do with my grandpa, but I had a lovely Summer :)
ReplyDeleteHappy that you also had a fun Summer, Louise! <3
Best wishes,

A way to sum up my summer in one word would be stressfully amazing! I finished year 13 so that was I think the most stressed I have ever felt before, but as a reward (and because both my brother and I had big birthdays that year) my parents bought us a holiday to New York! I'd never been before and probably never will go again so it really was a magical time!
ReplyDeleteAnd now I'm studying for university, so let the stress pile back on!
But I'm glad you've had a great summer, reading your blog always reminds me of the truly important things in life - friends and family, which I am liable to forget, so thanks for writing it and being yourself.

these photos are adorable! the one with you Matt and Darcy and the one where Darcy is laying on Matt are my favourite - these will be so beautiful when you look back and she is grown up.
ReplyDeleteYour summer sounded amazing.
I have to say my best summer was the summer of 2012 but this year has been good to me too. Like you Autumn is my favourite month so I hope this season is fruitful of happiness and exciting adventures!

Gorgeous photos. I'm so sad to see summer go :( I feel so much better in summer. The best thing about this summer has been the weather, which was much improved on previous years (aside from June, which was basically winter). I tried to make the most of it by going on as many walks as possible. It was marred slightly by the uber stress of buying a house. But we've moved in now and I have a beautiful garden to enjoy next summer :D
