Q. Tell us about yourself. What is the story behind your Instagram account?
I’m a creative person and Instagram is how I share things that inspire me: photography, travelling, fashion, music, and dancing. I started blogging in 2011, and later switched over to Instagram (@ninelly_). I’m also an IT specialist and a choreographer at Moscow State University.
Q. How did you come up with #MyDressStories?
I really wanted to create something unique, new, and inspiring, rather than regular travel pics. So one day, I took one of my dancing costumes—a big, red, flowy skirt—to Venice, and created my first ‘MyDressStories’ picture. I liked what I managed to create so much that I decided to continue taking creative photos while travelling. I mostly wear dresses I have designed or combine them with other clothes, hats, and accessories. After a few years, I decided to create my own brand—The Dress Stories—with flowy dresses that are very comfortable to wear and perfect for travel photos. For my Indian trip, I made a few dresses and tried to design accessories, scarves, and belts inspired by India’s traditional costumes.

When Travel Heals
Going for a holiday just after you have lost your mother to COVID-19 may not be the most popular idea, but it was the only way for a grieving family to escape the agony with which they were living. And so, they headed to the Chettinad region of Tamil Nadu in search of peace and recuperation.
Masks of Glory
Charida is not the most popular tourist spot in West Bengal. But its obscurity is one of the reasons we choose to discover the undiscovered ‘mask village’ of India.

The Grand Mercure Bengaluru at Gopalan Mall offers a slice of Karnataka’s rich architectural and culinary history and culture. We check-in at the palatial property for a plush staycation.
Goa with a Twist
Innovative dining, well-curated high-teas, offbeat local trails, and unparalleled hospitality—Hilton Goa Resort crafts a world far removed from the Goa to which we are accustomed.
A Tribal TRYST
Ooty in the Nilgiris Hills of Tamil Nadu may be one of India's most visited hill stations, but an immersion into the life and culture of the local tribes makes for an offbeat, experiential way to rediscover the charming region.
