Q&A | Books, Home Life and Break-Ups | Lizzy Hadfield

[@k213389]

something that's helped me heal from breakups (or just to stop having obsessive thoughts about it) is to write down all the things I didn't like about the person and the relationship with them. I open it up in my phone and look at it when I'm missing the person. It helps you feel more grounded in reality and less so in idealized memories of people.

[@MultiRumorhasit]

Amber Nelson I do that as well!! Super helpful :)

[@RazeAstro]

Wow thank you for sharing! I’m going to try this

[@Gresaaa]

This is how I eventually DUMPED them, by reminding myself why instead of being too weak to let go

[@missmillienettleton]

Hi Lizzy, listening to you talk about getting inspiration from friends, just got me thinking I would love to see more videos with people like Lindsay; perhaps you could chat about what's inspiring you lately. As a long-time subscriber, I definitely come to you for inspiration in fashion that feels more timeless, and the way you curate a look is quite unique (as opposed to trend-chasing), and I would really love to know more about the thought process that goes into it; maybe bookmarking the images you've seen and explaining what it is about them that you really like or what caught your eye. I think this would be extra good with another person just to see how people view things differently, but still, it would be great to see this on your own, or perhaps you could incorporate it into your monthly fashion updates.

[@rotimi16]

Solo trip Prague it’s historic, arty, and has a great shopping quarter too Loved it there in spring time Putting the ‘’Sing’ in single is a tip for breakups,

[@matildaonvideo]

I loved doing lots of short solo trips when I lived in the UK - Valletta in Malta, Bologna in Italy, Bordeaux in France and Dubrovnik in Croatia were some of my favourites! 👏 x

[@emilyshevlane5370]

Always impressed by your independence, determination and success at such a young age (being a similar age myself) keep at it gurl🥰

[@mikayocc]

You're such an authentic person, Lizzy, thank you for your honest and vulnerable answers to these questions. :)

[@karenmyers3672]

Thank you Lizzy for being so authentic, you inspire all of us, of all ages. You have a gift of seeing the world through the lens of your camera in such a beautiful and unique way. You document it and share it so artistically. I can see this becoming more and more of where you take your career. Thank you for sharing your gift with the rest of us. xo

[@maestroveale]

If you fancy Lisbon but also want to go somewhere new too I fully recommend going to Lisbon and then getting the train to Sintra for a few days - it is the most beautiful place I've ever been and I couldn't recommend it highly enough!

[@Sara-sv5ki]

Aw Lizzy I haven't watched the video yet, but I'm really sorry about your breakup I think we could all tell from the lack of B content but with every ending, there are a million new possibilities (as I'm sure you know) I've been going through a series of breakups recently (I'm a rebound queen trying to change) and seeing you have fun with friends and living your best life is super inspiring to me.

[@belletaylor5535]

I did 12 days in Croatia alone and had the best time. 4 days exploring cities and the rest hunkered down on an island. It was bliss.

[@sheezlisa]

Thanks Lizzy for this wonderful video. I’m going through a break up...more downs than ups at the moment. But it’s getting better. I was comforted to know that I’m not alone and you reminded me that it’s gonna be okay. I just need to focus on me. Thank you xx

[@nicolahillhouse2922]

I’m really sorry to hear you had a painful breakup - I’ve been there and it can be awful. I’m glad you’re better now. Also, I loved your Japan footage - I just couldn’t get enough of it!

[@bethwest5674]

I am sorry that you don't feel your best right now and you are right that it will lift. That was my take away from William Styron's Darkness Visible. It's a beautiful short read ...after reading I can fully understand how he imagined Sophie (Sophie's Choice). I love your new home and look forward to Spring mornings when the garden door is open. Take care Liz. You have become such an inspiration and I think a trusted friend to many here.

[@t4health527]

Your answer on is it ok to be lost. omg THIS is everything. YES YES there will always be another moment we feel lost. And so many other people are in the same boat. We don't talk about it enough but everyone has felt it or feeling it currently. It's so common

[@laurenchapman5852]

Solo trip suggestion: Bologna in Italy. 🇮🇹 Such a beautiful place, not very commercialised and amazing for authentic Italian food!

[@CoolAsMegan]

re solo trip: amalfi coast in italy is gorgeous for a solo trip, also bordeaux for more of a city break is so beautiful

[@inesbendouba1330]

Your advice about relationship/breakup are so true and wise; you're great

[@eggegg8181]

Loved this Q&A! ❤️ I’m sorry you haven’t been feeling the best lately but I hope it passes

[@jayjaytailor]

Have you thought about getting back into your own art; i.e.: how about doing some more painting for inspirational/therapeutic purposes? You may find Berlin is good for a short trip/weekend away (as martina-anne suggested in the comments). The light is fantastic here for photography purposes; especially black & white. Food for thought.......

[@LuciiiMa]

I really appreciate the honest talk about breakups, and i'm glad you're feeling good... also, on an unrelated note I just read your last blog post... wow! Loving the content, how amazing was to go through videos, photos, text with a very soothing song! Absolutely loved it... yours is basically the only blog that i'm really looking forward to read, i never find it to disappoint me :-) enjoy the Sunday!

[@24lucyO]

Madrid! So much amazing art to see, amazing architecture, of course great food, and great style. I think you would love Madrid style (like I do). Very simplistic and chic, doesn’t really change from generation to generation which is refreshing from the constantly changing trends seen on people in other cities

[@janemackrell3733]

I would add something to advice about reading - the more you read, the more you will want to read/have the capacity to read/the more you will be able to absorb. It will become habit forming.

[@lakulaalaa]

Solo trip suggestion: Helsinki! Finland is amazing :)

[@drewlovato]

A good place for a solo trip is Porto. It’s a very beautiful city and the people are really nice there. I recently visited Vienna and enjoyed it as well. Loved the video!

[@maggiesmythe3089]

Bologna is amazing! Spent about 4 days there by myself and had the best time! Tons to do, amazing food, very cool city because it’s not very touristy. Also there are a number of other cities a quick train ride away

[@jenniferlucyfletcher]

Great video, really enjoyed it. Travelwise, my suggestion would be Lyon in France- so gorgeous and classy and yet still fun with incredible food; and yet just a 4 hr train from London! x

[@breezinessmind]

Lizzy, if you have the chance, I suggest you to come to Milan during the Design Week (you can google "Milan Fuorisalone")!! It's usually towards the end of April so the weather is good. Basically, it's a week when a lot of ancient palaces that are usually closed to the public open for free. Famous fashion brands, artists and designers showcase different design products or art installations in these historical palaces and it's amazing. I think you would enjoy that! :)

[@jmartin1037]

Have been watching you for a while and just loving your content more and more, really connected with everything you were saying in this. Thanks x

[@xoxogossipgoat21]

Re: solo trip - Lake Garda! Specifically Peschiera del Garda/Sermione and Riva del Garda. Also, Ksamil in Albania. And you may also love Belgrade.

[@claudiadgusmao]

Porto in Portugal is a beautiful city to visit 💕

[@elenigrace]

Loads of love to you, Lizzy 💐

[@jessdunn4957]

This was so inspirational My work is feeling very uncertain right now You have made me feel better & yes life has its ups and downs Thank you 🙏

[@fabjonahaliti6091]

Loved the vid! 🙌There is no words to express how much I understand where you are coming from and I couldn't agree more with the sensitive part of the video...😊 I have a feeling you are such a good person to be around!!✨ Lots of love Lizzy!! 💕xx

[@maralidina8430]

Lisbon! Yes! But Oporto is a 2 hour drive from Lisbon and I could almost bet money that you would love that city!

[@vickitollemache5000]

This post just made me think you are just great. Love how real and genuine your answers are.

[@missholidaygolightly5566]

I live your vlogs so much! Your whole vibe is amazing! Also I loved loved loved season 2 of the podcast!

[@martina-anne889]

you should come to Berlin !!

[@Diesy00]

Venice in spring is really nice and It might be a good choice for you: a lot of walking, photogenic spaces, various kind of art, good food, good wine, street life and it is fells sometimes like a cozy village out of the time, so it is not overwhelming

[@alicesoundso7243]

Is it ok in venice? I thought there is a reconstruction after the flood...

[@Diesy00]

@@alicesoundso7243 Yes, it is ok :) Almost everything is fine and works as before. Of course, few places (museums for example) are still working on repairing and restoring, but for the spring they are going to reopen. I know that the News depicted a really tragic scenario (which it was true) but the situation is all right now. The high tide's period is over (..and visiting the city will help the people working here who were affected by the disaster).

[@missholidaygolightly5566]

Suggestion for your next trip: Bilbao! It's such an interesting city and also of course the Guggenheim museum alone is worth the trip

[@pau_tokyo]

I am from Bilbao, it is a beautiful and inspiring city! Not only the Guggenheim museum makes worth the trip in my opinion, there is great food, beautiful nature, amazing culture, etc. You can also visit many oder amazing places when you are in Bilbao, such as Getxo, Mundaka (my summer village) using public transport which is great !!

[@MH-yu7gw]

Yes I love it there! And San Sebastián is really close and it’s great there too!

[@pau_tokyo]

@@MH-yu7gw yes, San Sebastian is just beautiful! Visiting both cities is a perfect combination.

[@missholidaygolightly5566]

@@pau_tokyo I'm visiting Bilbao for one night next month on my way to Santander. Any recommondations of where I should definitly go/ what I must see while I'm there? I'm from Germany by the way :)

[@pau_tokyo]

@@missholidaygolightly5566 oohh!! Ich liebe Deutschland, meine Tante wohnt in Deutschland und ich besuche sie jedes Jahr!! Du musst auf jeden Fall das Guggenheim Museum besuchen! , Du kannst auch entlang des Flusses gehen bis du die Altstadt erreichst, du kannst dort auch etwas essen aber es ist zu touristisch. Ohne Zweifel sind die beste Bars in Mitte (La viña, El Globo... heißen sie), du musst "pintxos" essen. Ich hoffe ich habe dir geholfen, Entschuldigung mein Deutsch, ich weiß es ist nicht so gut!! Viel Spaß in Bilbao!!!

[@eviozyra6300]

you need to go to cracow, Poland, I studied there and its such a beautiful city with great atmosphere :)

[@63Lsp]

This was so great! You're doing so many of the best things to enjoy all the moments of life!

[@angelablackburn6268]

Great questions and thank you for such honest, thoughtful answers. I absolutely loved this video. You are a substantial, interesting 27- year old. Keep going on your journey!

[@imolakiss]

Travel tip: go to Porto instead of Lisbon! Such a lovely city. I also fell in love with Puglia last year. This year I’m planning a South of Spain trip with Sevilla, Granada, Tarifa on the itinetary.

[@mcd3560]

Imola Kiss yes to Porto. One of my favorite places in Europe

[@Christina-sz8gu]

Hi Lizzy - thank you articulating your thoughts so eloquently and thoughtfully in the Q&A. I always feel im catching up with a girlfriend when i watch ur videos. x

[@naomigrear]

Slovenia for solo travel!! Visit Ljubljana, then lake bled/bohinj and cycle up into the national park for a day - most peaceful place I’ve ever been

[@marchellesacred8338]

Love the Q&A!! And Liz, hope you can come to Ireland!! 😘

[@isabellat.7011]

you're just so inspiring and authentic. i love your videos so very much xoxo

[@cristianapais]

If you want to come back to Portugal, come to Porto! It's the second biggest city, the North is beautiful and the food os amazing. Also, you can walk a lot, which is something you enjoy. You can even go back to Lisbon before going home 😘

[@elizabethsmith1803]

The better the quality of the item, the more signs of wear it can take. Something like a Barbour jacket can last a lifetime and be reconditioned a dozen times. In many ways we can learn from men - they like the same thing in the same colour from the same supplier, and ideally in the same size and at the same price! PS Dublin is fun.

[@mcd3560]

A long weekend in Porto would be my advice. Such a unique place

[@naomismith4933]

Once the coronavirus has gone and done one, I would say China for solo travel. I travelled around there solo as a 24 year old woman and always felt incredibly safe and it is truly magical, especially if you go to Guilin and Yangshou which are so so so out of this world beautiful. Ben is funny and hot but always came across as more in to himself than anyone else, I think you’ll find someone much more in to you :) On the cooking front, watch a few yt vids of instant pot recipes. I just got the mini one and it massively cuts down meal prep and mess and washing up but let’s you great dals, chillies, soups, risottos and pasta in under 10 mins. Totally recommend it x

[@jesusisapisces]

Suggestion for a solo trip: Hamburg, Germany ✨

[@fabjonahaliti6091]

Yes!! So much to see and explore!!

Always look forward to your vlogs. Your reading list gives me inspiration x

[@katiepaulson6547]

I've loved Copenhagen (I know you were just there but I love that city), Berlin, Stockholm, or Prague for a solo city break. Grado is also a beautiful island in northern Italy for a summertime break

[@fullofhope6978]

Hi Lizzy:-) Great video and wonderfully frank. You're a wise young woman indeed. Re relationship advice and living solo, I feel you really are spot on. Also, I find watching very scary OR very funny films helpful - LOL! And "You're History" by Shakespeare Sister is a great break-up track to listen to or watch on KZbin. Finally, would it be possible for your personal trainer to come to your house for a session that you could film? xxx

[@caralum]

I enjoyed this muchly Lizzy 🙏 To me you’re a wise + lovely person, thank you for sharing! xx

[@neonsaltlamp1999]

I’m sorry you’re not feeling your best, I’m in the same sport right now. It’s an unfortunate way to start off the year/decade but it’ll get better. I was wondering, would you consider doing a “what I eat in a week” sort of thing? Kind of in the theme of your workout routine

I never had a good feeling about your last bf. He didn't seem to have the same interests as you and seemed slightly disrespectful towards you and what you do.

Recommend Where The Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens

[@sarahpenna262]

Una Donovan I agree ! I think he was wrong for Lizzy and exposed a passive aggressive manipulative side many times ( joking ab the way she eats; calling her Elizabeth, "darling"🙄, her humble origins , etcetc. Lots of random seemingly innocuous comments designed to tilt her off her axis ) . Much too full of his own self imp ....so glad she escaped from his insidious mind games . She's too smart for him

[@emmapeel1018]

The Celine Box Bag is such an elegant bag! Something to keep in mind of is that it doesn't fit that much in (mainly because of the structured shape and compartments), so I wear it less because of that

[@silkesilke100]

Is your hair a bit more blonde? Looks very nice!

[@fridabionori]

You should come to Gothenburg, Sweden, for a mini break! It's not a big city by any means, but I feel like we have a lot of things here that you would like and that fit into your ascetic! The art museum is so stunning, the coffee shops and the interior shops too. The closeness to the north West Coast (Bohuslän, google that and you'll be amazed!) is also perfect. Two days in Gothenburg and two in a cottage by the coast would be my tip for you to see something new and get loads of inspiration. I'm a Gothenburg native so I'm here if any tips are wanted! I have a little category on my blog too, with a few tips: Gothenburg: fridasfriday.eu/category/gothenburg-guide Bohuslän: fridasfriday.eu/category/bohuslan
