Villa L’Ilot is a stunning villa located just off the coast of Mauritius. In this little piece of paradise you can bath in style and luxury.
Visit The Travel Files to see more images of this gorgeous home and its surroundings.
Agrifuturismo is an 18th century farmhouse in Tuscany, Italy, which is beautifully decorated by owner Frederica Fusi. The rustic house contains 2 vacation apartments which can be rented for a holiday in the Italian countryside.
Isn’t that rustic kitchen gorgeous?! More images and information can be found on The Travel Files.
Today I’m loving … this modern country kitchen. More images of this Bed & Breakfast in Belgium can be found on The Travel Files. The farmhouse in absolutely stunning!
Masseria Alchimia is a tranquil, small, designer resort on Apulia’s Adriatic coast (Italy). The ten studios are all furnished with a selection of design classics and combinations of deep warm colors and materials.
More beautiful images of this resort can be seen on my new blog The Travel Files. Check it out!
I am happy and proud to tell you that my new website The Travel Files is now live! Together with Carlos (who created the winning design) I have been working hard to tweak the design to perfection. Check it out! I hope you enjoy it.
The Travel Files is about traveling, exploring, dreaming and enjoying life. We showcase beautiful destinations from all over the world. Small or large, urban or rural, budget or high end: it doesn’t matter, as long as a place has a certain charm, edge or uniqueness. The Travel Files is dedicated to search the globe for beautiful hotels, B&B’s, restaurants, shops and other places worth visiting.
We are working hard on the travel files which will be live soon! In the mean time some holiday inspiration pics here on the style files. The images are from the portfolio of Chris Court.
Today some gorgeous pictures from Marrakech photographed and styled by Studio Aandacht.

I am finally ready to announce the winner of the travel files website design contest. Reviewing all submissions took a bit longer than expected as I wanted to be sure that all submissions would be judged fairly and thoroughly. Receiving so many great ideas was exciting and I had a great time reviewing them. Initially I wanted to feature the winning designs as well as the two runners up. But as people put so much effort in their submissions and the quality was high I decided to show you the top 5 designs. The winner is announced at the end of this post.
Design by Sarah Lyth, who works for IflooksCouldKill.
Design by Carlos Lorenzo. You can see more of Carlos’ work on his website adesgana.com. His email address is carlos [at] adesgana.com.

And the winner is …. the second design by Carlos Lorenzo from Spain! Congratulations Carlos, I am looking forward to working with you on the final design. I would like to thank all the designers for their contributions. I very much appreciate the fact that you have taken the time to design for the travel files!!
Do you have plans to move to Ibiza, Spain? Then this renovated minimalistic finca might be the place for you! The beautiful finca with a Bali flavor is facing a 180º sea view with a hidden pebble beach down the mountain and total privacy on a 2000 m2 plot set within a natural protected bay where peace and nature are overwhelming.
Outside there are many terraces on different levels with spectacular views especially on the roof terrace, but also around the pool (yes there is pool!).
Are you ready to move in? I know I am but unfortunately this house comes with a price tag: 1,450,000 €. Perhaps I should start with that cool lamp in the top picture, which is from IKEA.

I have some news to share: I am starting a new blog! While going though my files in search for a holiday destination, I got a light bulb moment: I want to share these great destinations that I have saved over the years with you. This is exactly the same reason why I started the style files over 4 years ago. The name of this new blog will be … drum roll…: the travel files.
Now, in order to start blogging, I need a website and a logo. As you can tell from the (rather standard) design of this site, I am not a graphic designer. So… I’m in desperate need of YOUR help. If you know a bit about graphic design and you would like to contribute to my new blog, I’d like you to participate in the travel files web design contest!
Rules:
- In order to be able to pick the winning design, I need an artists impression of the definite website design. This needs to include an idea for logo, header (including logo) and overall site design and lay out (the style files lay out serves as a good reference).
- The final logo needs to be able to be used for multiple purposes, including but not limited to business cards, stationary, Twitter avatar etc .
- The lay out needs to be based on the possibilities and limitations of WordPress, so in essence we are talking about a WordPress theme.
- I’m not a web design guru (nor do I have any experience in setting up web design competitions), so I need some support here and there!
- Submissions can be send to danielledelange [at] gmail.com.
- The winner will be picked by me on the 25th of May. The theme, logo banner etc then needs to be designed and created in the following 4 week period including feedback rounds. The launch of the travel files will on the 22nd of June!
- The winning design will only be used –and prizes will be rewarded- when the final result is satisfying subject to my approval.
Prizes?! What prizes?!
- The winner will receive goodies from Le Souk (and other items – all handpicked by me) with a total worth of at least 400 EUR. One of the items that will be in the prize winners box is the popular crocheted pouf.
- The winner (and a maximum of two ‘runners up’) will be mentioned on the style files in a post. The winner will be credited for eternity on the travel files as the designer of the site.
- If you are an avid reader of the style files you probably know what I like in terms of style but you can always send me an email if you have any questions!
I am very much looking forward to receiving your ideas!
