Hello.

As seen, my name is Rachel.
Hi.
I love reading and I love playing around with makeup, although I admit, I can't always be bothered doing it from day to day. I love clothes and trying new things. I'm a hopeless romantic and a dreadful cynic.
I'm 19. I live in New Zealand and am just about to move down to our capital city to start university. I'm super excited and super nervous, no surprises there!

It's summer here and it's been pretty chilled out.

Beautiful days with beautiful friends

We daytripped it out to Raglan on what turned out to be the most lovely day of the year so far. We were so lucky because the weather had been pretty iffy all through January. I had been away for all of 2013 on my gap year so just hanging out with friends was perfect in so many ways.

Here's the exact same beach about a fortnight later:

Just to prove how much fun New Zealand weather can be in summer.

Four seasons in a day isn't a joke!
