Photo Diary: Dog Days of Summer

Aug 27, 2012 at 2:24pm by Lauren Conrad


It's hard to believe that the summer is already winding down. Labor Day is right around the corner, which marks the seasonal shift to fall (in my book). In a last ditch effort to squeeze in some bits of summery fun, I've been making the most of these last few (hot!) weeks of summer. Whether I'm sitting poolside enjoying a cocktail, relaxing out on the open seas, fishing, or baking something sweet, these final summer days have been entirely relaxing and entirely satisfying... Here's a little peek into what I've been up to:

Apparently Chloe is ready for the fall... This is how I found her sleeping:

Enjoyed a zinc sunrise...

Headed down to my parents... Clearly we were in for a hoppin' night:

9 hours of fishing and this is all I caught :-(

Baked salted chocolate chip cookies... Yum! (Similar recipe here.)

What have you been up to during these final weeks of summer?

Has anyone given any of my Crafty Creations a try? If so, don't forget to upload and submit your photos for a chance to be featured in a Member Spotlight post.

XO Lauren

      this summer has been a bit uneventful for me because i had to have hip surgery and i have been recovering. luckily, my awesome friends have been coming over my house and keeping me company because i can not travel and go out. i have been doing a lot of crafts to keep myself occupied and i have been creating new designs for my etsy shop (: www.pulltabexpressions09.etsy.com all eco/recycled/upcycled handcrafted accessories

      I have still (or only) two weeks until school will start again but for now I am having a One Tree Hill re-run marathon because this is the perfect serie to get in to the right school feeling again. Moreover, I enjoy the days with our two dogs and try to catch the last sunny days. Plus, I have to go shopping for the new school year and have to prepare for school.


      But I am keeping everything as slowly as possible, the stress will start soon enough -.-

      Lately I have been enoying going on evening runs on these late summer evenings. Sometimes if I am lucky I see deer getting a drink of water from the pond by my house.
