Friday mood 💙

I’m so happy and honored to become a contributor to the Czech & Slovak Leaders Magazine! ✨

It is one of the largest English-language publications in the Czech Republic, focused on interviews with top leaders, diplomats, business figures, culture, and high-level events.

It brings together stories from people who shape industries, communities, and ideas.

And now, I get to be part of it. 🫣

For me, this is more than writing. It’s about sharing stories.

Stories of women.
Women with dreams.
Women who build, create, and inspire.

Women like me.
Women like you.

Through this magazine, I want to bring forward what we don’t always see, the courage behind the decisions, the struggles behind the beauty, the dreams behind every creation.

I feel so grateful and happy for this opportunity 🤍

Friday mood ☀️ Spring is here ✨

What a beautiful morning! ✨Today, I had the honour of welcoming the Romanian Ambassador to the Czech Republic Ms. antoanetabarta to my ALISIA ENCO shop inside the Mandarin Oriental Prague Hotel 🇨🇿
It was such a joy to receive her in this magical place and I’m truly grateful she enjoyed it. ✨

She also reminded me of something that touched my heart:
when I first visited the Embassy, I told her that if I ever opened a shop in Prague, it had to be in Malá Strana.

And today… here I am.
In Malá Strana.
Inside the Mandarin Oriental Hotel.

Because nothing is impossible when you truly believe and you don’t give up. 🤍

Thank you, Your Excellency, for your visit, your kindness, and your support. It meant a lot to me. ✨

I’ve been telling you for years how much I dreamed of having my own alisia_enco shop.
I’ve been dreaming of it since 2014. And now… the moment has finally arrived.🫣

I searched for it for a long time. I struggled a lot to find the right place. But maybe the truth is — it found me.

Just when I felt tired, just when I thought about giving up on this business, last year magic appeared. And today, with immense joy, I’m happy to share that my dream has come true in the most beautiful way.

ALISIA ENCO now has its own shop inside the beautiful 5 star hotel in Prague, mo_prague Mandarin Oriental Prague Hotel 🇨🇿✨

I am beyond happy and deeply grateful 🙏 I can’t wait to begin this new journey and to share it with you. 🤍

So If you’re in Prague, I warmly invite you to step into my magical world — a place of stories, art, and wearable dreams. Thank you so much for being part of this journey🤍

Alice

A year of experiences that touched my heart, people who arrived exactly when I needed them, and moments that reminded me how beautiful my journey can be. 2025 was a magical year for me.

I’m stepping into 2026 with open arms, a full heart, and a quiet excitement for everything that’s about to unfold. Happy New Year, my friends! May it bring us courage and joy!✨

New chapter waiting to unfold ✨ #2026

My first shirt alisia_enco made with a fabric designed from my own drawing. And I absolutely love it!!!🤍

A few years ago, I never imagined that my sketches would find their way onto clothes, that something so intimate would become wearable.

It still feels a bit unreal seeing my art move and soon to be worn. Grateful, so excited, and deeply connected to this beautiful journey! ✨

I’m just trying to find my place in this world, a world full of noise and busyness and sometimes or most of the time, it feels overwhelming.

But I’ve learned that in the middle of all this noise, the only way forward is to stay true to myself, to create, to dream and to keep moving.

Finding your place is not about arriving somewhere, but about enjoying the journey, step by step. And my journey in the last year in Prague was sooo magical! 2025 taught me that when you follow your heart, the path unfolds exactly as it should.✨✨✨

What a joy to start this day in a true festive atmosphere! ✨
Today I’m at the Christmas Market in Prague🇨🇿 together with the wonderful Prague Accueil community, sharing the world of my brand ALISIA ENCO through colours, stories, and wearable art.

A warm thank you to Ms. Gremez for inviting me — I’m grateful to be part of this beautiful event and to meet so many lovely people.
