This is the oldest working fountain in the UK. And the king used to make it flow with red wine!

Linlithgow Palace
One of my favorite things to do while abroad is visit castles. Visit anything old really - churches, prehistoric stonework, houses- you name it. But of course there is something very fantastical about seeing a castle (especiallyyyy a ruin). So Mirjam and I visited Linlithgow Palace, which is just outside Edinburgh. I cannot recommend it enough. Amazing. Wish I could have moved in!! It is the castle that Mary Queen of Scots was born in way back in 1542. You can even see the queens bed chamber where she was most likely born. There are even secret passages. It was something out of a fairy tale!
Edinburgh Festival
Sorry I kind of just disappeared! I spent the last week in Edinburgh with one of my very best friends Mirjam who lives in Amsterdam. We try to get together once a year, and this year we decided on Edinburgh for the festival. We had a blast seeing a bunch of shows - sticking mainly to the free ones! I was sad to leave her but know I will see her again before a year is up!
My girl
Edinburgh Castle - never stops making my jaw drop!
Irish Elk Skeleton - would love to see one of those bad boys in the woods!

101 Dalmations!
Lately I've been really into dalmation/black and white leopard prints. I think they are going to be the next big trend. Ever since Kate was spotted wearing a "dalmation" coat, I've been seeing the pattern pop up all over the place. I love it! - no real puppy fur of course!!! ; )
So I invested in my own dalmation/leopard piece! A coat from Zara which is now on sale for only $69.99!!!! More than half original price. (http://www.zara.com/us/en/woman/blazers/printed-short-coat-c437599p1050454.html) Ta daaa-
I think it looks even lovelier in person!

My current summer essentials
Hello! Here are the things I am currently obsessed with.
Forever 21 bucket bag

This bag is so perfect to throw everything into (I'm not the most organized during summer!) It also makes me look a little more bad-girl-cool ; )

Island Getaway
 |
| Patrick and I were invited to a fabulous party on a private island off Cape Cod this weekend |
 |
| There was a boat load of beer! (ha ha corny I know...) |
 |
| I met this awesome guy, Gunther, and we quickly became friends |
 |
| He even joined us on the beach for a quick swim! |
 |
| Then it was time for the main event - a Doobie Brother's concert! I wish I had more pictures of the evening to share because it was really fantastic! But after this I think I got lost in my dancing for the rest of the night! |
