I am so sorry I have been MIA for the last few weeks! I knew it would be difficult to keep up with posting while I was abroad but who knew how busy I would be. Now that classes have started up I have gotten into a routine (kind of...) so I feel totally prepared to get back into the swing of blogging. So far the abroad experience has been amazing, scary, and adventurous all wrapped up in a pretty package. I can't wait to share so much more with you all but for now I thought I do a quick <a href="http://www.instgram.com/annienbelle">Instagram</a> round up of some of the photos of my trip so far!</div>

Arthur's seat is an inactive volcano right on the outskirts of the city. It isn't a very difficult hike from the top but the views are breathtaking. On the left side of the photo you can see the Edinburgh Castle!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
One weekend my friends and I decided to take a last minute trip up to the Isle of Skye. I have honestly never seen views as spectacular as I have on this little island. Everything was so green, and lush, yet still mountainous with gorgeous water views. It was also the first time I had ever seen mountains and the furtherest North I had ever been which was so exciting! This photo was taken at the "Fair Pools" which was basically just these amazing waterfalls that created small little pools. There were so many of them along the hike and up until the mountains you see in the photo. I plan on doing a full Isle of Skye recap with my must see places soon!</div>

<b>Victoria Street aka Diagon Alley</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I warned you there would be a lot of Harry Potter references. This is the famous Victoria Street where J.K. Rowling based the famous Diagon Alley off of. I am beyond obsessed with the beautiful colors of all the buildings. I was so mad that there was an ugly yellow truck in front of the mint colored building but oh well! Also, if you can't tell, like many streets in Edinburgh, Victoria St. has two levels. Above all the colored buildings there is another street with restaurants and shops on it.</div>

I told you <a href="https://annienbelle.blogspot.com/2015/07/instagram-lately.html">this Instragram shot</a> was going to see its way into a future post! I don't know if I have mentioned this on the blog yet, but I am going abroad for a semester this fall (so soon its kind of crazy)! I plan on doing quite a few posts in the upcoming month about my planning and packing so if you have any ideas please let me know! But all I have been really focusing on so far is all the places I want to travel to while I'm there. I will be studying in Scotland so its not too difficult for me to get to other European countries making my options pretty endless. But that being said, I don't want to just go to the typical abroad hot spots (London, Paris, etc.). I want to go to other cities that would be more difficult to return to any time soon. Here are the top six places I want to travel to while I am studying abroad!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Barcelona // Spain</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ever since I did a school report on Barcelona in 8th grade I have wanted to travel to this beautiful city. One of my good friends is studying abroad in Spain so I hope to be able to meet up with her and visit this amazing city. This is definitely the number one on my list to visit.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Santorini // Greece</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The blue and white views get me every time I see a photo of Greece. <a href="https://galmeetsglam.com/2015/07/magical-santorini/">Did anyone else follow along as Julia (from Gal Meets Glam) and her husband traveled throughout Greece?</a> Oh man did my wanderlust skyrocket. The island looks stunning and unlike anywhere I have ever been. Please mom can I go? haha Also, I just really want to be Lena from <i>Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants</i> and meet a amazing Greek man and explore the city together and swim in the ocean and fall in love... is that really too much to ask for? </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Nice // France</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been to Paris and loved it. And while I would honestly go back there in a heartbeat, I want to go somewhere else in France. And I mean, who doesn't want to travel to the French Riviera? This seems like the perfect getaway from the chilly Scotland fall I predict I am going to have. Beach please?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Budapest // Hungary</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
From all of my friends who have gone abroad, they say Budapest is stunning. I've never really considered a trip to Hungary in my future but I love that fact. Its somewhere I would never really think of going to but could be totally amazing. It seems more authentically European and it would be a major step outside my comfort zone.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Venice // Italy</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have always loved the idea of a city built on water with canals as the roadways. It just seems so magical and fairytale desk does it not? While I feel like Rome is the go-to for the abroad traveler, I think Venice is way more my style and my dad and sister who have both been, say that Venice is the best Italian city! Also, can you tell I want to travel anywhere where there is beautiful water views?</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Oslo // Norway</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Being part Norwegian, I want to go to Norway to visit my people. I don't have any relatives there but I just want to see where I come from - and reconnect myself with my fellow blonde hair, blue eyed kind! haha. No but in all seriousness, whenever people ask me about my ethnicity I always say "I'm part Norwegian" but don't know too much about the country. I want to be able to say that statement with pride and with knowledge of the country itself.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

The color mint and I have always been inseparable. My preschool teacher told my mom it was "my color" and ever since then it has been one of my favorite colors of all time. It might be because my mom would always dress me in mint after that but still its just so dang pretty. Thats the one part about summertime that I love - mint is a color that can officially be worn proudly and almost every day. This sweater from Gap has been on repeat like no ones business. I love the way mint looks with white and I actually loved the way this minty green looked with the light blue specs on the Madewell skirt (#mintisthenewblack). <br />
<br />
This paper bag style is one of my new favorites because it is honestly so comfortable and it has pockets (a.k.a. the best thing in the entire world!). The skirt and top are both old but its the color combo that I love so much! Plus the pink flowers in the background are just too perfect!<br />

On a completely irrelevant note, can we please chat about the PLL season 6 finale last night?! I have so many mixed feelings about it and am so confused and have so many questions still. I mean I guess technically the "A" reveal does make sense but I don't know if I like it. If any one you watched it I would love to hear your thoughts. How do you feel about the 5 year time jump? Also, when did Emily and Spencer get into school? Aaah still so confused! haha</div>

Nothing is worse than taking a week off for vacation for it to rain every day. And while I have yet to take a trip to the lake or the pool, I have gotten some amazing reading done cuddled up with a cup of green tea. I just finished an amazing series that my brother recommended to me and now I want to share it all with you.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first book in the trilogy, <i><a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fgp%2Fproduct%2F0452296293%2Fref%3Dpd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_1%3Fpf_rd_p%3D1944687622%26pf_rd_s%3Dlpo-top-stripe-1%26pf_rd_t%3D201%26pf_rd_i%3D0525427341%26pf_rd_m%3DATVPDKIKX0DER%26pf_rd_r%3D01ZVK795575ZM68CZCMV&pid=uid9721-29751811-55">The Magicians</a></i>, came out in 2010, the second, <i><a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fgp%2Fproduct%2F0452298016%2Fref%3Dpd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_2%3Fpf_rd_p%3D1944687622%26pf_rd_s%3Dlpo-top-stripe-1%26pf_rd_t%3D201%26pf_rd_i%3D0525427341%26pf_rd_m%3DATVPDKIKX0DER%26pf_rd_r%3D01ZVK795575ZM68CZCMV&pid=uid9721-29751811-55">The Magician King</a></i>, in 2012, and the third and final, <i><a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fgp%2Fproduct%2F0147516145%2Fref%3Dpd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_3%3Fpf_rd_p%3D1944687622%26pf_rd_s%3Dlpo-top-stripe-1%26pf_rd_t%3D201%26pf_rd_i%3D0525427341%26pf_rd_m%3DATVPDKIKX0DER%26pf_rd_r%3D01ZVK795575ZM68CZCMV&pid=uid9721-29751811-55">The Magician's Land</a></i>, in 2014. I hadn't heard anything about the series until my brother started reading it and he lent the books to me after he had finished. It is one of those things though where you have never heard of the word but then start hearing it everywhere. Because now when I walk around I see this book in every window and shelf.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgu3n0ahITEblrVc0z9l9Z_HduSofvXXPqR6c0lyiI2WesUgOJVg82tJvGf8i5BqUL8oZZxWos16dm1orvEZkfpLGASAKfrevyFRHrWjdeM4_wJP6D-cvI2IceSU3s_ky6WU5evGQGX0tM1/s1600/1408_SBR_MAGICIAN_COVER.jpg.CROP.original-original.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgu3n0ahITEblrVc0z9l9Z_HduSofvXXPqR6c0lyiI2WesUgOJVg82tJvGf8i5BqUL8oZZxWos16dm1orvEZkfpLGASAKfrevyFRHrWjdeM4_wJP6D-cvI2IceSU3s_ky6WU5evGQGX0tM1/s640/1408_SBR_MAGICIAN_COVER.jpg.CROP.original-original.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If I could give the briefest summary of the series I would say it is the perfect combination of Harry Potter meets Narnia. Basically, just imagine if Harry Potter went to college and then on to Narnia. It definitely refers to these two series, poking some fun and making jokes, but it never felt uninventive. Unlike the other two, this series is definitely meant for adults as there are quite a few graphic scenes and intense subject areas. I thought it would be hard to create something new because when it comes this genre it feels almost "been there, done that" but this series brought a new fresh feel.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Unlike many series (ahem <i>Hunger Games</i> I am looking at you!) this series only got better with each addition. I would have to say that the first book is probably my least favorite. That by no means makes it bad because it is still amazing, but it is a necessary means. You have to make your way through the first book, get the gritty details and learn the basics before you can dive head first into the mysteries and magic that intertwine in the second and third books. And don't let the character's "jerk-ish" tendencies deter you from reading the next one! I would recommend reading the series straight through if you can.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will leave you with the best summary I could find off Amazon for the first book only as I don't want to give anything away: Quentin Coldwater is brilliant but miserable. A high school math genius, he’s secretly fascinated with a series of children’s fantasy novels set in a magical land called Fillory, and real life is disappointing by comparison. When Quentin is unexpectedly admitted to an elite, secret college of magic, it looks like his wildest dreams may have come true. But his newfound powers lead him down a rabbit hole of hedonism and disillusionment, and ultimately to the dark secret behind the story of Fillory. The land of his childhood fantasies turns out to be much darker and more dangerous than he ever could have imagined . . .</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I finished the book everything I had questions about perfectly fell into line and it was totally resolved but I still wanted a fourth book. I didn't want the story to be over because I had fallen so in love with the characters - the sign of a perfect series!</div>

With my 21st birthday coming up in mid September I have been thinking about things I want and thought it would actually make a great post. Not only are a few of these on my list (*cough* Olivia Pope wine glasses *cough*) but I think they would make great birthday presents for any girl. I included things ranging from fairly cheap to more expensive and items for various age ranges. Enjoy!</div>

If you know me at all then you know I have a small obsession with typography. I wouldn't say I am the best at it at all but I just love it. I enjoying looking at new fonts and recognizing fonts I know in ads. I like playing around with what fonts go together and spend way to much time browsing font websites. One of my favorite things about blogging is getting to make all the main "Pinterest - worthy" photos because I get to play around with fonts! I normally don't post too many "behind the scenes" style posts but I think I am going to start because I love all the Adobe creative suites and think I could share a few insights I have learned over the years through magazine layout and blogging. If you guys have any questions please let me know and I might just do a post about it :)</div>

One of my all time favorite things about summer is the fact that I can read for myself again. I always say that during the school year I want to make more time to read books for fun but it never happens. The second the weather gets warm I start reading all the books I put on my list during the school year. I honestly fly through so many books during the summer and I couldn't be happier about it. When I'm sitting on the train to go to work, laying out by the pool, or cuddled under a blanket during the rainy days I always opt for reading during the summer.</div>

I thought I would share some of the books that are on my reading list this summer! I would love to hear some of all your favorite reads so I can add them to the list. Also, if you want, I might do a post listing some of my all time favorite reads :)<br />
