I would cry happy tears if all the book girlies took on NYC or anywhere! You, Haley, Sara and Des! 💕

I’m planning on buying your cook book for my mum. I love your content and I’m so excited to see your recipes. And everybody needs a friend like Rach.
The way Rachel laughs with Liam 🥹🥹🥹
the date with liam at the beginning was so cutie and wholesome🥹
I love the little glimpses of you and Liam's relationship 🥰 you have a great balance of respecting your own privacy and showing some cute moments.
the ballet flats actually looked good! I think we all have that dysmorphia when trying new things!
The way Liam slapped that pasta oh my...my Italian ancestors are shaking in their boots.
The ballet flats with the jeans were so cute! I think it would work better with jeans or full length dresses. Also NYC!! How exciting !! Every city has its pros and cons of course. People typically keep to themselves, but are kind when you need help. I hope the trip works out for you guys!!
ballet flats with the skirt actually made your legs look so good!!!
I'm so excited to see you in NYC!! You will have the best time 🥰 I cannot recommend Boston enough if you guys have time- it's only 4 hours on a train and so easy to get too from New York. The most beautiful city!!
I’ve actually never heard anyone say they hate NYC! I’m from the U.K. and I can say I absolutely LOVED IT. It’s so magical 💕 I also don’t like crowds and I coped fine! Sending lots of love xx

100% agreed I went in jan and I can’t get over it months later! Was everything and more 😊
the true laugh you had when making the clay turtle 🫠🫠
The flats are super cute with the jeans! I actually can't pull of balket flats, my toes are too long 😆 Loved this cozy vlog and the verses you always put in the opening 🥹
You should get a ‘C’ table for the library/guest room so it’ll fit under the sofa and you can put your tea and book on but it can be a side table for guests when they stay. You’re right don’t clutter up the room with a coffee table!
Levain Bakery has THE BEST cookies in NYC!! They have multiple locations. I think you guys would love it! I would also recommend getting a Metro pass. It’s $34 with unlimited swipes for a week. So helpful when you are trying to see as much of the city as possible.
i went to new york last october and let me tell you it was incredible
This vlog was so cozy, i love it 😍🩷
I live in New York! Would definitely recommend doing all the touristy things but also make sure you try and go to a Broadway show or something like that! They are beyond amazing, and are such a fun part of the city. Even just walking through the area is great!
Loveee the flats with both outfits❤
You could maybe do like a puzzle coffee table thing in the library room would be so cute 🤍 also love your videos xx
What a stunning vlog Rachel! I LOVE your crochet blanket - it's beautiful 😍
I went to New York a few years ago and the highlights from my memories are walking along the High Line, shopping at Chelsea Market and for coffee, I remember really loving Blue Bottle coffee!
The library room is STUNNING ⭐️📚 so happy for you and how it turned out!
Loved NYC. We stayed right next to Times Square which was incredible. We went up the Rockefeller building for views as you see central park and the empire state. Really cool building. I'm a theatre nerd so Broadway is an absolute must! Sometimes the weather can influence your enjoyment. We went in late March so it was spring. The wind absolutely howls through the city when it is windy so I can imagine it could be extremely cold in winter. We had stunning weather. One windy day but mostly great. Madison Square Garden was great. Went to an NBA game there. Sport loving hubby loved that and I did too! We loved just jumping on the subway and exploring. SOHO is cool, lots of great food places.
Rachel is such a gift giver to show love
the ballet flats look gorgeous! I loved them with the jeans, it really brings up the outfit!
i went to nyc last summer and had a lot of fun !! moma and the met were both really cool museums to walk through, and the new york public library was beautiful too 💕
I can't espress how much I love your vidddsss❤
second! perfect timing, gonna watch this while i pack for an upcoming trip! thanks rachel! 💓
Amazing vlog Rachel!
The ballet flats with the jeans outfit was so cute!
I LOVE the ballet shoes with the jeans 😍!!!!!
Rachel I am watching your vlogs since years ago and I really really appreciate you so so so much you are my inspiration and I wish you have a blessed weekend😭😭💗💗
Aww so happy for Lang!! 🩷 That's so exciting! All my love to our mama Lang ☺
I was in New York last summer and I loved it! If you wanna do all the tourist stuff I recommend getting the New York City pass. With the pass you get cheaper prices and don’t need to wait in the long queues. And the big Barnes and noble was magical. I would also recommend walking over the Brooklyn bridge. I also don’t like big crowds but I managed fine. Love your videos
New York is so much fun! One of my favorite places I've been so far
I’ve been waiting for bestie Rachel’s vlog all day. Just so comforting and exciting to watch your vlogs! Love you so much! I have a lot of your videos on a frequently watched comfort playlist. 🫶🏻🫶🏻
The ballet flats looked so cute with your skirt!❤
the date night is ADORABLE❤❤❤
Yall should paint portraits of each other. It's so funny to see how they turn out
i love the ballet flats with jeans!
I love the ballet flats on you! Definitely so so cute
The ballet flats are BANGERS with the jeanss
omg how am i so early lol anways love ur vlogs rachel ur litr a comfort youtuber 🌷🌷💌
Ahhhh i just love your vlogs so much 🤍
Can’t wait for the travel vlogs and potentially book bestie collabs 👀 Also, the flats looked cute with the skirt! 🩰
Haha the ballet flats I feel the same way. People pull them off and your outfits were so cute, but I can’t help but just see my 10 year old self in coloured leggings, ballet flats and a longish top 😅
NYC a few Christmas's ago, from Australia, was 100% the best experience of my life!
Great vlog Rachel
I grew up in New York! Like an hour outside the city. We visited every summer after we moved away! Definitely check out the freedom tower, and the Staten Island ferry to see the Statue of Liberty and not go to the island. It’s hard to see it from the island and better views from the ferry. Ellis island is cool if you are interested in history, and definitely get a good New York bagel! I could go on but those are the bits that came to mind!
As a Boston girlie I would FREAK out if you came! Would want to run into you. It’s amazing!! Not that I’m biased or anything, but better than NUC cause less busy. Love you and your content. A must watch every time!
I've been to America multiple times (from Sydney) and i absolutely LOVE exploring America but i've had no interest in visiting New York.. It might be amazing but i am just not a city girly at all. It is a good thing that i know that about myself 🤭.... BUT i just know that you might get the chance to meet the Book Girlies and THAT makes me excited for you. 😍
YAY FOR NEW YORK 🩵
Omgg that’s so exciting you’re going to New York. My twin sister and I have decided we’re going to New York for Christmas so beyond excited!!
Ah, I want to see NYC as well!! Never been either! So, have fun ❤
I’m going to New York later this year too! Sooo many ppl are divided on how they love or hate it but honestly I’m so excited
Highly recommend riding bikes in Central Park! My favorite part of the trip! So excited for you!
My husband and I LOVED Pasta Eater in NYC! 🍝 The Summit is a great attraction to get photos of the skyline! I would recommend booking a time later in the day, the morning fog can affect the view. And of course Barnes and Noble was magical.
love love love
Lovvvve the ballet flats on you! 🫶🏻
Great vlog💕. I'm so excited for you to go to New York. I've never been but I really want to go there one day.
i have two besties and one lives in america atm and the other one lives 10 hours away, so even though we both live in qld we rarely see each other and it sucks, but it's such a blessing when we visit
I am so happy that you’re going to get to travel. I’ve never cared to go to NYC because I’m not a big city girly but I think it’s so wonderful that you’re going to get to go especially if you and Liam have always dreamed about it. I think you definitely pulled off the ballet flats. I think I liked them best with your jeans. I love your pink top you wore with soph to lunch. It is so so cute. Anyways, I am so happy to have another video of yours to watch. I look forward to to your videos every week
I went to New York twice in college. I really enjoyed it! Yeah it's busy and crowded, but it's the biggest city in the US. I think for your first time, it's 100% worth it to do touristy things but if you get overwhelmed easily, it might be better to pair something busy with something calming each day (so like a museum with Central Park, for example). Helps with the sensory overload! As for places to go, I would really recommend the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. I think you can them together in one go. And definitely try and see a Broadway show while you're there!
I like the flats with jeans!
The ballet flats look so good with the jeans, I think the skirt makes it look like a ballerina outfit, especially with the pink!!!
I’ve been to New York a few times and love it! Ofc I’ve only ever been to the main touristy parts but still had fun! Loved Times Square and Central Park but you have to try and go see a Broadway play. Nothing like it!
The ballet flats looked amazing with both outfits! I definitely think it looked better with the jeans outfit but the other one looked good also.
ive never been to nyc but surely you have to go to the ripped bodice and other themed book stores !! and the big barnes & noble hehe 📚 like a book store crawl!
i don't know when exactly you will visit new york but i would love for you to experience it in autumn with all the vibes🍂🧡 i remember you talking about how autumn is so different in australia and you love the vibes of it in other countries🧡
Me too…people either tell me that they love or hate NYC!
I live about 35 min (no traffic) North of Boston. If you're planning on coming later this year you'll want to start ordering warmer clothes. It gets much colder here than it does where you live. Try to catch a show either in NY or Boston. I went and saw Moulin Rouge the musical with my girlfriends earlier this year. There's so much history in both places. You're going to have a great time visiting!
the ballet flats are sooooo cute! I think they look stunning in both outfits, but I think I prefer the jeans with the flats!
The flats look good with the jeans👍🏻
Under the Empire State Building, there’s a restaurant called Tacombi! It sells Mexican and it’s sooo delicious! Also if you’re going to see Central Park, go to the Upper West Sidd of the city too! There’s a place called Strand Books near there and a whole street full of restaurants. And the building are old and beautiful with ivy climbing up the sides. It’s such an eclectic place. If you’re gonna see the Statue of Liberty, take the Staten Island Ferry. It’s free, some people might try and sell you tickets for it. But it’s free! Don’t take a guided tour, you drive straight past it on the ferry, get off on the island and hop back in the next ferry going out. My Mum and I did that and the views were great. Love from Perth ❤
The flats are definitely beautiful with the jeans love! Like if you had black ones with that outfit it would look so CUTE! ❤
19:00 In my opinion, the ballet flats with the jeans def go hand in hand! I was genuinely surprised 🤍 In Australia, I used to wear those types of shoes (had the strap over) in primary school with my winter and summer uniform - and truly, a pinafore type dress and stockings go so well with those ballet flats. Alternatively, you could wear knee length socks ☺️
Yeah I can see why you’re excited to go to Barnes!😂 I‘m traveling to London soon and I‘m so excited even to just go to Waterstones because here in Switzerland we don’t have such huge book stores! It’s so sweet to see you with your friends considering that I’m not having any but that keeps my hopes up that one day I’ll find friends like yours 🙏🏻
I loved NY, I'm not a fan of big crowds but being there hits different. I went when I was 16, I'm now 28 but my family and I got the New York Pass which we highly recommend! You save a tonne of money on entries to big attractions and can give you the ultimate guide to your trip!
Would highly recommend going up the Rockefeller Tower (Top of the Rock) rather than going up the Empire State building because then you get to see the Empire State Building in all of its glory! My mum and I did this and the view just before sunset was incredible!
I‘ve been to New york a couple times and I just love the Vanderbilt and Chelsea Market. Even if it’s two touristy spots I still love it there!!
Went on my first solo trip (22) to New York this past January!! I LOVED IT, can’t wait to go again. BEST TIP: PLAN what you want to do by areas/neighborhoods
Rachel!!! I live in boston and the city is so up your ally. There is so much gorgeous history and architecture, it’s slower pace than new york but just as much to do, so many amazing bookstores. If you have the time 10/10 think you would love it.
Love NYC!!! Cookies- Levain bakery the oatmeal raisin was so delicious. Central Park was amazing- there was an area in Central Park that had baseball fields and playgrounds and it just amazed me people actually live there. Soho is a beautiful place to see visit/stay. I also took a helicopter for the nyc skyline so if you wanted to spend a bit extra of $$ I’d recommend it!!
There is a cafe called ‘Serendipity 3’ in New York from the movie Serendipity, it’s definitely your kind of vibe ! I went over 10 years ago and loved it ! 🥰
Nyc tip: if you want to do the main touristy things get the citypass. Most of the major attractions are included and that will make your overall experience a lot cheaper. For hotels, most of the tourist spots are around midtown so for convenience/fun purposes you could get hotels at times square, the Marriot there is nice but you will pay extra for the location. For transportation the subway really is the best/only way to go, but it can be pretty stressful and confusing if you are not used to it, so definitely plan ahead at a calm location exactly which lines you will need to take and plan to be back by midtown or your hotel area before night bc some lines close early and it’s the biggest nightmare to get stranded. There are a million things to see and do in nyc but some of the less traditional things I’ve done and loved were going to a show by the american city ballet and renting a car for the day to drive to long island. My favorite popular attractions are broadway shows, the natural history museum and central park (walking, biking, ice skating). Hope this helps ❤
I hope you’ll see some of the book girlies when you’re in NY!
I used to live in NYC! Loved living there in my early 20s but couldn't do it now lol. If you have time, take a walk around Washington Square Park (The Strand bookstore is pretty close) and if you feel like doing some shopping, SOHO is great. Have fun!
As a boston girlie I am SO BAISED and think you should stop in Boston. It is similar to NYC, just in my opinion SO MUCH BETTER. Love your content so excited for you to experience the US!!💕
i feel like a little side table to the right of the new sofa would look so cute without taking up too much space!!
I actually liked the flats with the first fit
I think it would be nice to meet some people/friends during your trip to whichever city you and Liam will go to. They may help ease the anxiety you may experience during the trip. So include such meet ups with the tourist sites. Have fun and enjoy the experience 💛.
I was at the gym on the treadmill laughing out loud at yours and Liam clay making 😂 i may have looked like a crazy lady but worth it!
I think you’d like Boston more than NYC, so if you can, definitely try to visit both! Especially if you’re going in September/October!
I have been to New York multiple times and I feel like you will LOVE it! Central Park is one of the most magical places in the world 🐝 💕 I am a homebody too and don’t actually love travelling, but New York is so worth it ❤️🍎 I hope you both have the best trip xxx
I totally get the car anxiety. I had two not so great cars and when I got a newer car every little noise I heard I would immediately panic thinking there was something wrong with it! This vlog literally felt like FaceTime ❤️
Definitely take the trip to New York!! I visited for the first time in February (which is a super cold time of year in NYC and everyone warned us not to go) but my best friend and I ended up loving New York so much and we would not shut up about it. While I was on my Europe trip a few weeks ago my best and I decided to book another New York trip so we’re going again next month!!
Omg!!!! I’d definitely recommend Boston! I’m from Massachusetts and I went to college near boston and its so much fun! Its an older city with so much charm and so much to do!! Its more relaxed than NYC but theres so much to explore! I’d definitely recommend the north end in boston and the public gardens + boston commons! Ive heard the duck boats are amazing too! And I’ve been to NYC a few times and it was so much fun! The top of the Rockefeller building is really cool!! And they do ice skating too!
Yes to the ballet flats with the jeans. They weren’t quite right with the skirt.
as a new york bestie my biggest biggest tip i’ve given to all my family overseas is avoid times square. it seems like the best place as a tourist but it’s so overstimulating and just overall a bad time trying to get through the crowds and find out where your going. i love the city but the one place i never go to is times square haha soho is basic but awesome and greenwich is so beautiful with beautiful parks!! ps. liberty bagels and bagel market is my fav
