I only found Kate’s page due to her ex but have to say I’m a big fan. Already I’ve bought some of the lululemon Amazon leggings she had an aff link for.
I’ll show myself out

Definitely free suites in exchange for Instagram PR - it does make her previous statements on not sharing her location until she leaves as nonsense. Guess if it’s free, safety doesn’t matter so much.The other day I was in complete agreement with the person who said Kate not posting her hotel etc is fine as young women abroad, but she's literally posted the new hotel on her story? Doesn't really make sense, I wonder if they had to pay for the first one but this one has been arranged free somehow

Kate said on her stories that Yasmin had gotten the free upgrade for them. So I’m assuming Yasmin talked the front desk into it saying they’re influencers and can give the hotel free PR and maybe included that they’ve now got to stay a few extra days in Paris because Yasmin lost her passport and how ‘stressful’ that was.Why have they got a free upgrade I imagine them going down to the reception desk and showing them their instagram followers
why do I remember kate saying that yaz used her corporate connections to find them a place, English not being my first language I understand this as her calling some people she knows rather than walking and talking to the front desk and pitch them as influencers for a free stay?Kate said on her stories that Yasmin had gotten the free upgrade for them.

Yeah she conveniently put that on her stories after we suggested on tattle that Yasmin blagged a free upgrade because their influencerswhy do I remember kate saying that yaz used her corporate connections to find them a place, English not being my first language I understand this as her calling some people she knows rather than walking and talking to the front desk and pitch them as influencers for a free stay?
Tbh I have no problem with her asking concierge to book restaurants for her, I do that a lot when I stay at hotels. Why not use concierge if they’re there? It’s not an extra charge or anything and it gives them something to do. And sometimes they can get you reservation slots/bookings that you couldn’t if you rang/tried to book yourself lol. I remember once I tried to book a popular restaurant in London for weeks before and they told me they’re fully booked each time and so when I got to my hotel in London I asked the concierge if they could try for me and within minutes they got me a booking for that evening! Depending on the hotel the concierge can have good relationships/contacts with the restaurants.I really like Kate but the last weeks she seems a bit.. idk, snobbish ? Like when someone asks if they booked restaurants beforehand and her reply is just that they let the concierge do the reservation and then she isn‘t even back from this Paris trip yet and next is skiing in the Alps and Venice I just don’t feel she‘s relatable anymore
I agree her Stories/ Paris Vlog part 1 this week are a bit off - Kate comes across as different as if she is trying to copy Yasmin’s extrovert, snobby personality & style. I love travel content & it’s fine to use hotel concierge service but it’s the boasting about free upgrades on 5 star hotel suites & free champagne is a turn off. Why book an expensive restaurant that has no vegetarian dishes just to be flash? Weird as plenty great places to go to in Paris.I really like Kate but the last weeks she seems a bit.. idk, snobbish ?

She seems so uptight to me. She’s what mid 20’s? I can’t imagine her letting loose at all.I really like Kate but the last weeks she seems a bit.. idk, snobbish ?

Yeah I agree about Kate now trying to turn into Yas or be on Yas’s level (now that she’s single she seems to be letting lose a bit but it’s hard to tell if it’s genuine).I agree her Stories/ Paris Vlog part 1 this week are a bit off - Kate comes across as different as if she is trying to copy Yasmin’s extrovert, snobby personality & style.

Both constantly saying “Immaculate” all week is not cute - some things best left offline as a private in-joke. Standard manifest it nonsense & the dated SITC chatter came across as conceited. I know they have the same management, so it’s a forced new work friendship but will not be good for Kate’s brand image by risking alienating her followers to morph into a OTT “party queen” Insta hun like Yasmin, drunk on champagne every night. Shocked Yasmin is only 26 - presumed a lot older with all the filler/ Botox & her 90s references. Very suspect she only had 9K followers in August 2020 but now at 685K - obviously loves to shop not just for fashion. All a bit fake & unlikable- unwise to have too much emphasis or promotion of her in Kate’s content. Unfortunately she is going to Venice so more domineering take over.
Looks like Kate met a new guy, PJ in Paris ( follow each other on IG & he looks like her ex) - he left a fire emoiji comment on her new photo & she replied : immaculé . Knew Kate would be quick to move on before Valentines.
I don’t know how she can afford it, I think she might have family in dubai?To detract for a min, fleur raffans life is like a constant holiday.. she goes from Dubai to Paris to Everywhere possible every few weeks. I find her quite bland too, and her Dior book tote bag is in every pic (it’s so flat!!!)
It may take longer now that UK ( British Passport) is no longer in EU ( European Passport). Plus Covid go slow as less embassy staff working in office atm.
Influencer manifestation talk is over done. If you’re an influencer now compulsory to talk in the same way. It’s weird as nobody a few yrs ago talked about manifestation at all. Must be nice to just book a suite at the Intercontinental & go shopping Chanel & Jimmy Choo if you mess up by dropping your passport. Is Yasmin very successful or has rich parents as she buys a vast amount of designer stuff? Doesn’t look like any of them are dupes unlike with a lot of influencers. Her lips do look painfully over filled & distracting - be prettier if she had them dissolved a little. Looks like a untrained beautician did them especially in her recent long hair picture. Such a shame some girls feel the need over do it.
From her stories on Sunday, the “drunk” photo attached isn’t Kate’s usual chilled persona. Maybe this is the real Kate - notably dressing more sexy & more a cocky party girl attitude - less her own styling or sweet lovely personality now she’s single. Why bother mentioning shenanigans publicly if not going to tell or show anything? Hooking up with men must’ve happened as only reason both not to show even small clips of later dinners, drinks or locations at night at all as they had company - both single so it’s fine. Think she started following this PJ guy after their 1st night in Paris. Probably real reason for staying longer in Paris - British embassy is closed on weekends so stayed at least 2 extra nights. . Very public statement as never left a comment to Greg, not even after he qualified for Olympics. Not heartbroken by their split at all. Filming lots in sexy silk slips isn’t Kate usual style either - work friends don’t usually wear matching lingerie not even influencers. Seems odd & try hard, as if now desperate to be cute for any male attention who maybe watching her vlogs.Also side note THIS really annoys me… like I get influencers are entitled to a private life etc obviously of course but I feel like Kate tries so hard to be this wholesome classy influencer but I don’t think she is as much as she makes out and also Yasmin definitely isn’t so what exactly happened that she won’t show her followers? Her drunken escapades or?
