Good morning, dear reader,
I hope you are up to something pleasant at the moment. Even if it is just a cup of delicious coffee during a break at work which is stressing you out. Things always change for better if we want them to, remember that.
SPRING 2021
Hello Spring 2021! I am so happy spring is here with its sunny days and blooming trees. And I am so happy to experience it. I feel very excited for all of the wonderful events upcoming summer is about to bring. But I am also as much excited about the process of preparation that I am going through right now.
These are the first photographs that we took after the lockdown had finished for us. I can't wait for more walks around the spring city and taking photos for the blog.
Stay with me.
xoxo

Hotel Review: Sina Centurion Palace, Venice
Hello my dear reader,
Finally I am here, ready to share with you my experience of staying at Sina Centurion Palace in Venice. I love weekend trips. They always cheer up my mood, create new memories and leave me dreaming for the whole following week. I am already back to the French Riviera but my mind is still romantic remembering those dinners with a view on Venice canals.
Our hotel had gorgeous interior design. I have tried to capture the way my room looked like. A large terrace with a breathtaking view was a pleasant surprise. However, what has amazed us most of all was dining at Antinoo's Lounge & Restaurant. The cuisine is truly divine and the service is excellent. We will never forget how friendly and helpful was our waiter.
This time in Venice I understood how important is the choice of accommodation. It influences the whole impression of the city. Thanks to our stay in Sina Centurion Palace I fell in love with Venice. Waking up to a view of the Grand Canal and calmly having breakfast watching gondolas passing by - means truly experiencing Venice.
Cinque Terre Trip: Manarola
The next part of our trip was dedicated to the most famous town of Cinque Terre: Manarola. The view on its multicoloured tiny houses is truly worth-seeing. After the breakfast in our hotel in Masa we took the road through La Spezia to Manarola. Surrounded by palms, mountains and sea I was happy to take a passenger seat and enjoy window views. May happened to be really best time to visit Manarola. In order to have the best view on the town you need to do a bit of walking under the sun which feels quite hot. In addition, if you want to have a snack at the most famous dining place of Manarola, Nessun Dorma, be ready to stay under the sun for one more hour. If you love having a drink with a view - it is worth waiting in the line. This place serves delicious Italian wines with a selection of traditional snacks. Perfect for a midtime break.
Cinque Terre Trip: Vernazza
Hello guys,
Today I am sharing with you the first part of the photos I took during our road trip to Cinque Terre.
Since I have found out that these beautiful places are so close to where I live I could not wait too long to go there. It took us 4 hours to arrive to Vernazza from Antibes (taking into account some traffic jams around Genova). Before the trip I had read numerous online articles advising not to take a car to Cinque Terre. Luckily we did not listen to them. Although you cannot get by car straight in the city, you can leave it straight next to the entrance. The roads between towns of Cinque Terre are amazingly beautiful. Views on the mountains and the sea are truly breathtaking. So if you are a skilled driver and not afraid of narrow mountain roads take your car to Cinque Terre. In Vernazza we left it next to the entrance to the city for free. The walk from the parking to the sea took us 7-10 minutes.
Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat
Good morning my dear readers,
I have a quick post for you today. Sharing the shots from my day on Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild. This place is so wonderful that photos cannot show even half of its beauty. Letting you see some of the garden and sea views I've snapped on my phone. Wearing a simple and chic look. Loving this off-shoulder dress. What do you think about the place? Bisous, Anna

Fly Down
Good evening my dear readers,
I am preparing this post to show a bit of real-life me. Brand editorials are coming later this week! I will finally share with you some projects I've been putting my efforts in lately.
But today is my go-to outfit during these weeks. A pair of sneakers and a comfy fluffy jacket is all I need. I went to shoot this look in my neighbourhood. So you can also get an idea how the surroundings of my home look like. Sometimes I forget how blessed I am to live in this place, but then I clean up my eyes and get back to reality.
January Weekend: Outfit of the Day
Good evening guys!
I am starting to feel inspired for spring. But it may be too early for the moment.. Sun is here anyway and it is not letting us fall apart. I have been struggling the whole week at school. Design Thinking classes have taken all of my energy. Luckily tomorrow is the last day before a small vacation. I will be visiting one of my favorite cities in a week by the way! Stay updated on instagram and snapchat (annagotsyk).
Here is my outfit of the day shot last weekend. Wearing these mules and a velvet skirt really often these days. So comfortable and fits the weather really well. What do you think about this look?
Bisous, Anna
Happy New Year 2017
Good evening my dear readers,
Are you ready for this special night? New Year's Eve is just around the corner! This holiday has always been very special for me. And choosing an outfit for the night is a great pleasure and a perfect occasion to sparkle. This year I chose silver and nude colours. I shot the look a few days ago for you to get some inspiration in case you haven't chosen your New Year's Eve outfit yet.
I decided to wear one of my mostly beloved brands River Island. It was hard to choose which of their sparkling pieces I want for this evening but I finally went for a silver skirt. I find combination of silver and nude so elegant and festive. What do you think? Tell me your NY's outfit ideas.
Bisous, Anna

Christmas Market in Nice
Good evening my dear reader,
Tonight I have a Winter Wonderland: Riviera Edition kind of post. 4 days are left until Catholic Christmas and the whole Internet is crazy about this holiday. Christmas mood is on my mind too. Although holidays will be a bit longer for me than for everybody. I will get back to work only after celebrating my Orthodox Christmas on January 7.
And the way it is supposed to be - I am home for Christmas. I had a flight from Nice to Kiev and now I am enjoying my childhood apartment. I had such a rough time flying home cause I overestimated my strengths and took too much hand luggage (How could I arrive without presents for everybody?). Felt like a Santa Claus though. Now I am home and it feels like it has never felt before. These months far from home made me miss the place where I belong way too much. It is different for everybody but I am that kind of person who will always prefer home, family and childhood friends to anything else.
The photos were taken one day before I left the South of France. We went to the Christmas market of Nice with Dorian. It does not feel like true Winter Wonderland as it is +18 degrees outside. But the decorations are quite festive and beautiful. I chose a casual look but went for Christmas colours.
Gentle reminder: This season of love is a perfect occasion to enjoy our time with friends and families, to do things we used to leave for later. *Preparing a cup of tea and settling in front of TV in the living room*
Bisous, Anna
