In addition to my IGTVs I wanted to started this series about things I’ve been loving… whether that be reading, watching, listening to, wearing, eating… anything! Some favourites will be wedding related for all the brides and grooms to be, and some will just be random things I’m enjoying. I thought about doing this in […]

Hey team! Sliding back in here like the wannabe long-time-no-see blogger I am and I thought it was about time for another life update post, it’s been a while. If you hark back (who says hark anymore?) to my last one (here) you’ll remember I had just moved across the world to London-town. I know many of you will have kept up with me on Instagram (where I mainly hang out) but we’ll do a quick(ish) rundown for the blog now.

Lets have a chat about photo shoots in residential areas + Instagram/blogger culture in general. If you follow basically any London blogger at all, you will have seen those iconic Notting Hill colourful houses. If you’ve ever been to London you’ve probably seen the insta-gals/guys with your own eyes posing in front of pink porches and […]

Here’s a quick little post mainly with photos of my niece and nephew, how cute are they? I stopped in Brisbane for about a week en route to Bali last year. My sister and her family live there, so I was stoked to spend some time with them. We did a few quick family portraits […]

You guys know I LOVE an adventure. Even more when it involves the ocean and some wild New Zealand beauty. A bit of a throwback on the blog today, in one of my favourite places in the world: The Coromandel Peninsula. My girl Brijana from Brijana Cato Photography (seriously, check out her work, it is […]

The title of this post used to be “Lydia Rachel Life Update – March 2018” since I started drafting this in March… then life got a little crazy (again) and surprise! Here we are in June already, time is flying this year, am I right? The last time I did a post like this was […]
