Blogger Q&A with Stephanie

Living in any Fashionista's dream city, Stephanie Lin from Fashion and Tea captivates her readers with her one-of-a-kind blog posts- from traveling all around the world to the most unique cities, blogging pictures of yummy food (who doesn't love looking at food blogs?!), and a trendy sense of style, everyone should go check out her blog.

1. Describe your style in 3 words.

I would have to go with practical, minimal, and comfortable. I like clothes that are meant to be worn! 

2. What is it like living in New York City, a dream city of any fashion blogger?

I feel like New York City is one of those places people either hate or love. Luckily I fall into the latter category. The city's energy is indescribable and I'm ever so thankful for the opportunities that come with living here. I can also guarantee that a good time will be had. Whether it's bars, galleries, museums, or food, there's always something to do here. 

3.  What are some of your favourite visited cities, as you have visited so many and blogged about it?

-Mykonos, Greece. The water is perfect and the architecture just darling. It's a great getaway to just relax. 

-Paris, France. My most recent trip was with friends so that was a lot of fun. There was a ton of culture there, and I loved getting lost in the city (within reason, of course. I definitely didn't want to star in "Taken 3"). 

-Australia. I liked the whole "wildlife" aspect of it, and it was pretty neat seeing so many animals up close and personal. Feeding kangaroos was pretty darn fun! 

4. 3 things you cannot live without?

-Thick men's socks. Weird, right? I walk a lot in the city and wear boots practically everyday  Without these lifesavers, my feet would be in a sorry condition. I love Uniqlo's men's socks as they come in a variety of colors and textures. And they're so affordable! 

-Lint roller. As a fashion design major I'm always sitting, kneeling, and leaning against who knows what. It's a guarantee that I'll be covered in lint, thread, and fabric pieces at the end of the day. Without this baby, I'd be leaving a trail from school to work and all the way back home. 

-Rice cooker. What can I say? A girl has to eat! My rice cooker cooks rice and steams veggies at the same time. Perfect for somebody with no time who happens to be a lazy cook. 

5. Favourite desserts?

Oh gosh, anything with whipped cream on it. I'd practically eat that stuff by itself! Specifically though? Probably cake. I like anything with a spongey and moist texture. 

6. What do you hope to achieve in your blog this year?

I'm definitely working on making my restaurant reviews more thorough. I'd like to think that my reviews are helpful to anybody in the city looking for a good place to eat. Perhaps it wouldn't hurt to expand my readership as well!

7.Apart from blogging, what other things do you like to do in your spare time?

I like to try new things, and with that comes a voracious appetite for new restaurants and cities. I guess from these interests my blog was born. I'm also an avid reader and quite enjoy short stories. I highly recommend "Paul's Case" for those who are interested. On a less serious note, I'm obsessed with playing games on my ipad. I'm pretty infamous in my social circle for devoting a lot of time to faux-islands, farms, gardens, etc. Some might say it's a waste of time, but my "villagers" beg to differ.

8. What made you come up with the name: fashion and tea?

My blog revolves around both food and fashion, so I thought that it would be an appropriate title. More so than just that, my blogging style is pretty casual and conversational. When I write, I imagine myself talking to friends over tea. Therefore, "fashionandtea" was born! 

Thank you so much Stephanie!
