By Kate Blondet explores the world’s most iconic destinations—not just through the lens of travel, but through ambiance, attitude, and aesthetics. Think of it as a director’s cut of your holiday: each hotel, restaurant, and beach club becomes a cinematic scene, complete with curated outfits to match the mood. Combining editorial fashion styling, moodboard storytelling, and a touch of irony, the blog is where travel guides meet costume design—because in some places, how you show up is half the experience.

I’m Kate Blondet, and after years in the fashion and lifestyle media world, I decided to start this blog in 2025—yes, the year of 3-second videos and digital fatigue—because some things deserve more attention than a swipe. And reading isn’t about the author—it’s about what it stirs inside you.

Here, I share destinations not just for their beauty or buzz, but for their vibe. You’ll find moodboards, curated outfits, and hidden gems that feel like movie scenes waiting to happen. I spotlight places where aesthetics matter—hotels you want to dress up for, beach clubs with a soundtrack, restaurants where your outfit is part of the experience.

I split my time between the UAE and France, but I tend to travel like I’m on set: always scouting ambiance, always styling the scene.Whether it’s a five-star stay or a chic-on-a-budget escape, you’ll find everything you need to style your own story—and look like you were always meant to be there.

Expect conscious shopping tips, insider notes, and a plenty of irony—because what’s the point of all that if you’re not having fun?
