A coffee with Anna
Hi Anna, we’re so glad you’re here! Can you share a little about yourself please?
Hi guys! I’m Anna, an NYC based lifestyle content creator! I’m 26, I love exploring new places and making travel vlogs, going on solo dates, and currently am decorating my first one bedroom apartment here in New York. Which means all the decisions are mine and I’m making the space as girly pop as possible.
Where did you grow up and how is that different from New York City? Do you plan to stay?
I grew up in a small, very cute beach town called Cocoa Beach, in Florida. I moved away 4 years ago and love New York City with a passion! At the same time I don’t know where I’ll be in 5 years, and I am perfectly fine with that!
As the queen of solo dates, where do you find the courage or inspiration to go out alone?
I think after doing a few things solo it isn’t so scary. I don’t really think twice about it anymore. Being confident on your own is a muscle we all have to build and maintain. I think solo dates - dressing in your favorite outfit that makes you confident and going to do something you’re excited about builds that muscle in a way that is lighthearted and fun!
Can you tell us your top 3 NYC recommendations please?
Oh wow that’s a crazy ask, NYC is magic and there’s so much to do, so much you can do even in one day. I’d say in the morning stop by Loaf on Paper, a Japanese stationary store and coffee shop in the AM, then roam around the Lower East Side / East village boutiques and stores, and if the ballet season is happening you must stop by and see the dancers in the New York City Ballet.
We love that you’re always traveling! Do you have any upcoming trips planned or dream destinations on the list?
Oh yes! I’ll be visiting London with my mom this fall and I’m so excited to travel with her again. We went to Paris last fall so this is going to be so special. Next dream destination would be Switzerland or Japan!
If you could host a dinner party featuring any Lepelclub tableware, what products would you pick?
Hmmm does everything count??? I love the clear bow tumbler glasses.
What’s one thing nobody would expect about you?
I was an Ocean Rescue lifeguard for my first official job in high school and have in fact pulled people out of the ocean as a scrawny 16 year old. Very Baywatch.
We’ll wrap this up the Lepelclub way: How do you take your coffee?
Whoops I prefer matcha! Haven’t looked back! :) iced with oat xxx
