Hi! I’m Anna Wojtowicz.

Welcome to The AW Guide!
My name is Anna Wojtowicz; I live on the Upper East Side of Manhattan with my senior rescue dog Coco (Mr. Coco Bean). Lover of french aesthetics, effortless elegance, traveling the world on a budget yet in luxury, and carbs.
I created The AW Guide as a resource so that everyone can live an aspirational yet attainable life. Your standards on lifestyle, travel, fashion, and beauty shouldn’t have to be lowered based on a budget.
Over the years, I’ve become the go-to “deal finder” expert in my friend group. I’m always on the hunt trying to find the best travel deals, home decor, and fashion and beauty finds that are worth the money. Regardless if it’s a splurge or steal, I do so without lowering my standards of elegance and luxury. Whenever I would try to find “looks for less” or travel deals, the resources available were always cheap looking and the opposite of inspirational.

After spending countless hours researching, documenting, and sharing resources with my friends, family, and co-workers, I can’t wait to share them with you! I hope that I inspire and educate you on how you can also make your life feel as beautifully aspirational and attainable as I try to. Through storytelling on the Blog, Pinterest, and Instagram, follow along on The AW Guide journey as I take you to a luxury spa in Bordeaux, France, but also show you budget-friendly tips getting around the city.
The AW Guide believes in a healthy dose of both luxury and budget.
The AW Guide is not a textbook; it’s a safe and welcoming corner of the internet that acts as one of your best friends and gives you candid tips, tricks, and advice without all the nonsense.
I’ll share with you honest and sincere feedback, you work hard and should know you’re spending money on experiences and products that will enhance your life.
Have a question or need advice? Just ask. I can’t wait to meet all of you!
A little background on me, I moved to NYC for college ten years ago to attend the Fashion Institute of Technology for Advertising and Marketing Communications. Since then, I have worked at some of the world’s best global media online publications such as Martha Stewart Weddings, Martha Stewart Living, and Smithsonian Magazine online, creating premium online campaigns for fortune 500 companies. Also, the e-commerce company Paperless Post, where I managed digital marketing campaigns. None of these brands are affiliated with this site.
