Plus, the fleet is either a 2007 or 2008 model, no outdated cars!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/319695792419781517-4497957225741083157?l=lavishlifestylesla.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/319695792419781517/posts/default/4497957225741083157'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/319695792419781517/posts/default/4497957225741083157'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lavishlifestylesla.blogspot.com/2008/08/norman-lewis-limousines.html' title='Norman Lewis Limousines'/><author><name>L.L.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17449748698879698679</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_fwzw4i8iJ-s/SHLbtuL7D8I/AAAAAAAAAFw/GqGWfbRBdrQ/S220/mom+and+I.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_fwzw4i8iJ-s/SLcnMq5tylI/AAAAAAAAAGk/QtlcAeF4VSk/s72-c/limo.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319695792419781517.post-946297825657977190</id><published>2008-08-28T13:30:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-08-28T13:54:24.960-07:00</updated><title type='text'>TAO Las Vegas</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_fwzw4i8iJ-s/SLcOxouEDpI/AAAAAAAAAGc/MiM9sYoFwWg/s1600-h/tao.bmp"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5239672937375862418" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 258px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 169px" height="199" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_fwzw4i8iJ-s/SLcOxouEDpI/AAAAAAAAAGc/MiM9sYoFwWg/s320/tao.bmp" width="296" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;On a recent trip to &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;Las&lt;/span&gt; Vegas I was &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;pleasantly&lt;/span&gt; surprised by the outstanding service, attention to detail, and decor that made my dining experience at Tao very enjoyable!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;The restaurant has a nice size lounge where most guests, even with a reservation, have to wait a &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;minimum&lt;/span&gt; of 15 minutes to be seated. The restaurant is very beautiful...with a huge &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;Buddha&lt;/span&gt; positioned in the middle. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Furthermore, I would say the upstairs dining area is a little more intimate than the first level dining room...however..this is more of a trendy restaurant than a romantic dinner spot. I would definitely &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;recommend&lt;/span&gt; Tao to a group of friends or couple looking to have dinner and then visit Tao Beach next door. FYI: Restaurant reservations do not &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;guarantee&lt;/span&gt; entry into Tao Beach, however, your server might be able to obtain VIP passes for the club following dinner!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/319695792419781517-946297825657977190?l=lavishlifestylesla.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/319695792419781517/posts/default/946297825657977190'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/319695792419781517/posts/default/946297825657977190'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lavishlifestylesla.blogspot.com/2008/08/tao-las-vegas.html' title='TAO Las Vegas'/><author><name>L.L.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17449748698879698679</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_fwzw4i8iJ-s/SHLbtuL7D8I/AAAAAAAAAFw/GqGWfbRBdrQ/S220/mom+and+I.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_fwzw4i8iJ-s/SLcOxouEDpI/AAAAAAAAAGc/MiM9sYoFwWg/s72-c/tao.bmp' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319695792419781517.post-3237962094021204137</id><published>2008-07-29T22:10:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-07-29T23:45:17.580-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Puerto Plata &amp; Cabarete</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_fwzw4i8iJ-s/SJACUY-jxwI/AAAAAAAAAGQ/9lMs09-s9Ak/s1600-h/DR.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228681716702627586" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 256px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 167px" height="187" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_fwzw4i8iJ-s/SJACUY-jxwI/AAAAAAAAAGQ/9lMs09-s9Ak/s320/DR.jpg" width="283" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;When you think of the Dominican Republic most people think of &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;Punta&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;Cana&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;Punta&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;Cana&lt;/span&gt; is the most popular resort town in the Dominican Republic and is also the most touristy. If you are like me, you are not looking for 20+ all-inclusive hotels lined up along the beach, i.e Cancun. You are looking to experience the country's culture and discover a hidden gem or two. Lavish Lifestyles discovered two places that provide the peace and quiet of the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;Caribbean&lt;/span&gt;, while also allowing you to enjoy nightlife, casinos, and local restaurants.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;Casa&lt;/span&gt; Colonial Beach &amp;amp; Spa Resort&lt;/strong&gt; (pic above) is located in &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;Puerta&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;Plata&lt;/span&gt; and is a member of the Small Luxury Hotels of The World. This boutique all-suite hotel is &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;reminiscent&lt;/span&gt; of an old &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;Hollywood&lt;/span&gt; mansion, from the foyer to the well manicured grounds every detail &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"&gt;exudes&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"&gt;opulence&lt;/span&gt;. This hotel makes for a perfect romantic getaway with your special someone.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12"&gt;Velero&lt;/span&gt; Beach Resort&lt;/strong&gt; is a luxury condo/hotel resort located in &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13"&gt;Cabarete&lt;/span&gt; approximately 20 minutes from &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14"&gt;Puerto&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15"&gt;Plata&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16"&gt;Valero&lt;/span&gt; Beach Resort is comprised of 22 apartments and 7 penthouses all of which are privately owned condos located directly on the beach.&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17"&gt;Cabarete is&lt;/span&gt; internationally known as a windsurfers and kite boarders paradise; it is now also known as a fun destination for all. &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18"&gt;Cabarete&lt;/span&gt; has many clubs, restaurants, and bars within walking distance along the beach. This is a great place for a getaway with friends.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Also, be sure to visit &lt;strong&gt;Aura Beach House&lt;/strong&gt;, it's the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19"&gt;equivalent&lt;/span&gt; of Miami's Nikki Beach. Ask a local for directions, as it is hard to find if you are not &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20"&gt;familiar&lt;/span&gt; with the area.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/319695792419781517-3237962094021204137?l=lavishlifestylesla.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/319695792419781517/posts/default/3237962094021204137'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/319695792419781517/posts/default/3237962094021204137'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lavishlifestylesla.blogspot.com/2008/07/puerto-plata-cabarete.html' title='Puerto Plata &amp; Cabarete'/><author><name>L.L.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17449748698879698679</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_fwzw4i8iJ-s/SHLbtuL7D8I/AAAAAAAAAFw/GqGWfbRBdrQ/S220/mom+and+I.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp2.blogger.com/_fwzw4i8iJ-s/SJACUY-jxwI/AAAAAAAAAGQ/9lMs09-s9Ak/s72-c/DR.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319695792419781517.post-1403947759632873619</id><published>2008-07-29T19:45:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-07-29T21:36:19.256-07:00</updated><title type='text'>A Taste Of NYC</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_fwzw4i8iJ-s/SI_lEFfrtNI/AAAAAAAAAGI/JU9I0vBI5Qg/s1600-h/gallery_nycimg3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228649550757737682" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_fwzw4i8iJ-s/SI_lEFfrtNI/AAAAAAAAAGI/JU9I0vBI5Qg/s320/gallery_nycimg3.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Not to exclude our NYC readers Lavish Lifestyles will begin to include some of the city's hottest places to dine, relax, party, and sleep. First up is &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;Socarrat&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; a new restaurant located in Chelsea. Enjoy communal dining while feasting on delicious paella and &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;Spanish&lt;/span&gt; beer. If you haven't had the opportunity to travel to Spain here is your little piece of heaven in Chelsea. &lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Next up, where does one go to unwind from a day of hot subway platforms and crazy cab drivers? Try &lt;strong&gt;Thai &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;Privilege&lt;/span&gt; Spa&lt;/strong&gt; located in Soho, be sure to ask for the Siam Nirvana (six -handed 75 minute massage not listed on the spa menu). This is like nothing you've experienced before!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Now that your relaxed.. do you want to party or sleep? &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;Ummm&lt;/span&gt;...I would say sleep but in the case of the night owls I would like to introduce you to &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;Kingswood&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; located in the village. It appears to only be a &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;restaurant&lt;/span&gt;, but for those in the know there is also a basement bar and lounge throwing some hot parties this summer. You enter via an unmarked door to the right of the restaurant and proceed down a narrow stairway and let the party begin!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;OK&lt;/span&gt;, it's 4am and time to finally call it night. Why not treat yourself to room service in the morning by checking into &lt;strong&gt;The London&lt;/strong&gt;, an all-suite hotel in mid-town, where in homage to its name all calls made from your room to London, England are free!! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/319695792419781517-1403947759632873619?l=lavishlifestylesla.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/319695792419781517/posts/default/1403947759632873619'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/319695792419781517/posts/default/1403947759632873619'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lavishlifestylesla.blogspot.com/2008/07/taste-of-nyc.html' title='A Taste Of NYC'/><author><name>L.L.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17449748698879698679</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_fwzw4i8iJ-s/SHLbtuL7D8I/AAAAAAAAAFw/GqGWfbRBdrQ/S220/mom+and+I.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp0.blogger.com/_fwzw4i8iJ-s/SI_lEFfrtNI/AAAAAAAAAGI/JU9I0vBI5Qg/s72-c/gallery_nycimg3.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319695792419781517.post-1563963816079997484</id><published>2008-07-22T16:37:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-08-05T11:03:58.960-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Restaurant/Lounge/Club = KRESS</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_fwzw4i8iJ-s/SIZ6_sDqm3I/AAAAAAAAAGA/yahh5QSUZEQ/s1600-h/kress1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5225999652186921842" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_fwzw4i8iJ-s/SIZ6_sDqm3I/AAAAAAAAAGA/yahh5QSUZEQ/s320/kress1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Last Friday Lavish Lifestyles had the pleasure of dining at &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;Kress&lt;/span&gt;, Hollywood's newest addition to the once infamous Hollywood Blvd. Upon entering this exotic 38,000 sf space you feel like your in Vegas ...everything is very big and over the top. The theme is Asian which caries through to the decor and several menu selections. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;The service and food is &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;impeccable&lt;/span&gt;! Here are some menu suggestions: Calamari, Shrimp ( prepared on a 500 degree rock which cooks at the table) and the Salmon are all excellent. The portions are on the smaller side so I recommend ordering side dishes. The mixed drinks are very good, try the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;mojito&lt;/span&gt;. Lastly, save room for dessert as they have a chocolate fountain which comes with a variety of dipping options. If you are more in the mood for sushi, the mezzanine has a complete wrap around sushi bar. The prices are not bad... dinner for two including drinks runs a little under $200. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;OK&lt;/span&gt;, now on to the party side of &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;Kress&lt;/span&gt;. We were lucky to be given a tour by the executive chef.The tour began in the basement which is all purple with a dance floor in the middle ( &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;easiest&lt;/span&gt; part of the club to get into) we then &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;proceeded&lt;/span&gt; via elevator to the third floor which is a large VIP section with all white leather couches and crystal chandeliers. Still curious to explore we continued on to the the fourth floor ( rooftop - another VIP section ) beautiful views and cabanas make this a great outdoor space during the summer. We had a great time at &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;Kress&lt;/span&gt;! We even saw a couple of well -known &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;celbs&lt;/span&gt; (who shall remain nameless) trying desperately to get in!!!

This is one of four films Mark &amp;amp; Michael Polish aim to make this year through their production company Prohibition Pictures. These are the same guys that bought you &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;Northfork&lt;/span&gt; and The Astronaut Farmer!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As guests arrived they enjoyed an assortment of hors d’ouevers such as chicken skewers with peanut dipping sauce to beverages ranging from beer provided by &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;Anheuser&lt;/span&gt;-Busch to Vodka in the lounge/bar area of &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;Fais&lt;/span&gt; Do-Do. Lavish Lifestyles was pleased that we could assist in securing Red Bull and vodka for the event. As the night progressed guests were led into a huge event space behind &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;Fais&lt;/span&gt; Do-Do where Billy Bob and his band "The &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;Boxmasters&lt;/span&gt;" took the stage.

The hotel &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;Angeleno&lt;/span&gt; located in &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;Brentwood&lt;/span&gt; just off the 405 was one of our many stops this past holiday. To our surprise this is a rather quaint hotel despite its close proximity to the freeway. We also discovered that Hotel &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;Angeleno&lt;/span&gt; hosts a weekly jazz series every Monday from 8pm-11pm in the West Restaurant &amp;amp; Lounge located on the penthouse level.

Enjoy an evening of Mozart under the stars with the Los Angeles Philharmonic on June 22&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;nd&lt;/span&gt; at the Hollywood Bowl.

Make A Film Foundation(&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;affiliated&lt;/span&gt; with the Make-A-Wish Foundation) pairs terminally ill or critically diagnosed youth with &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;notable&lt;/span&gt; actors to create short film legacies. This red carpet event took place at the Writer's Guild in Beverly Hills and was hosted by Greg Vaughan(General Hospital) and Catherine Hicks (Seventh Heaven) with a special musical performance by Rhona of the group En Vogue. The star of the film was a young man from LA living with Sickle Cell Anemia who took part in the writing of his film which was directed by Rodrigo Garcia&lt;br /&gt;( &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;HBO's&lt;/span&gt; In Treatment).

Upon entering the candlelit courtyard you feel as though you are miles away from California...you are now in Italy!! Everything from the waiters' thick Italian accent to Italian music playing in the background is reminiscent of old world charm. FYI: This is a great place for a proposal or anniversary celebration!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;FLORIST: &lt;/span&gt;Empty Vase is absolutely amazing. This Los Angeles based florist provided fabulous mini red rose table arrangements for a recent event Lavish Lifestyles produced/planned.

Depending on the size and type of event you should allot anywhere from 6 months to one year for planning. Obviously, a small gathering will not take 6 months to plan, however, events of a larger scale will.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Steps needed to properly plan and execute a successful and memorable event&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. &lt;strong&gt;Know your budget&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. What &lt;strong&gt;type of event&lt;/strong&gt; are you planning? Wedding, Launch Party, Cocktail Reception, Birthday Party, Anniversary, Premiere, Just because Party, &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;ect&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. &lt;strong&gt;Time Frame&lt;/strong&gt; to find venue, catering co, host( if needed), furniture rental, valet, special performers, lighting co, florist, DJ, &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;ect&lt;/span&gt;....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4.&lt;strong&gt;Guest List&lt;/strong&gt;: Are you working with a publicist to generate media? When it comes to celebrities the more notice you give them the more likely they will be able to attend or be involved if you are looking for a celebrity host. &lt;strong&gt;Invitations should be mailed out 1-3 months in advance depending on type of event. Presentation is everything!&lt;/strong&gt; You do not have to spend thousands of dollars on invitations just make sure they are simple and elegant. Snowflake Gift Company is one of my personal favorites for three dimensional invitations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. &lt;strong&gt;Do you have a staff&lt;/strong&gt; - to mail invites, assist with guest list, greet guests at event, &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;ect&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;*Charity Events*&lt;/strong&gt; - When doing fundraisers you must allot one year or more to its planning. Large corporate sponsors for example, American Airlines request your application for sponsorship 6 months to a year prior to your event. Also, its best to approach companies the first of the year, because that's when they plan their budget, and a certain amount of money is allocated to &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;charities&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you see there are many steps that go into planning a successful event. I just touched on 5 key points, which is just the tip of the iceberg. Let Lavish Lifestyles worry about the details while you set back and be a guest at your next event!! &lt;a href="http://www.lavishlifestylesla.com/"&gt;http://www.lavishlifestylesla.com/&lt;/a&gt; 310-499-3968&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/319695792419781517-5820855736402441829?l=lavishlifestylesla.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/319695792419781517/posts/default/5820855736402441829'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/319695792419781517/posts/default/5820855736402441829'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lavishlifestylesla.blogspot.com/2008/06/how-to-plan-successful-event.html' title='HOW TO PLAN A SUCCESSFUL EVENT'/><author><name>L.L.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17449748698879698679</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_fwzw4i8iJ-s/SHLbtuL7D8I/AAAAAAAAAFw/GqGWfbRBdrQ/S220/mom+and+I.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319695792419781517.post-4748803394850867064</id><published>2008-05-26T11:53:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-04T03:40:34.158-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Sexy Boutique Hotel Opens In Istanbul, Turkey</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_fwzw4i8iJ-s/SDsbQda7b8I/AAAAAAAAAAo/XY205w7Vkc4/s1600-h/turkey.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5204783763946172354" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 263px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 165px" height="176" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_fwzw4i8iJ-s/SDsbQda7b8I/AAAAAAAAAAo/XY205w7Vkc4/s320/turkey.jpg" width="283" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Looking for someplace new and exciting to take your sweetheart this summer? Why not check out the W's first hotel in Europe. I know &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;Cabo&lt;/span&gt; is close, but most of us living in California have been there &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;at least&lt;/span&gt; once. Plus, this isn't your typical W hotel its actually a row of remodeled historical houses built back in the 1800's. Though its outer facade was preserved, the W spared no expense to create a luxurious and sexy experience once inside. The walls even appear to be covered in Gold!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enjoy a lazy afternoon relaxing in the jacuzzi on your terrace &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;( choose a speciality suite because like most European Hotels standard rooms are quite small ) or venture out to shops reminiscent of Rodeo Drive: Jimmy Choo, Bottega Veneta, and Marc Jacobs to name a few.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lastly, enjoy a couples massage at the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;on-site&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;Estee&lt;/span&gt; Lauder Spa, once relaxed, head over to the hotel's signature restaurant Spice Market for a romantic candlelight dinner. FYI: Chef Jean-Georges opened Spice Market( &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;Asian&lt;/span&gt; fusion), located in NYC several years ago and this is its first International location. The food is yummy!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What are you waiting for?

You do not have to travel to Arizona for the ultimate spa experience.This spa is simply amazing it has one cafe and one restaurant with a full service bar.  Not to mention an Olympic size pool, jacuzzi, and rooftop sun deck.  Their treatment rooms are  simple but their services are far from it.  Whether you get a massage or a salt scrub you will be in heaven at this 20,000 sq foot spa facility. A private mini-spa room is also available for those seeking ultimate privacy and romance!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;RESTAURANT:&lt;/span&gt;  Republic on La Cienga in West Hollywood.  The food is absolutely delicious.  The ambiance/decor is somewhat reminiscent of old Hollywood glamour. Try the shrimp and grits appetizer which is elegantly prepared with a light red sauce.  Also, don't forget to have the wine fairy scale the wine wall for your favorite red/white wine.  This restaurant can be romantic or a nice place for a business dinner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;SPECIALITY DRINK SPOT:   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Takami Sushi &amp;amp; Elevate Lounge offers breathtaking views of downtown LA.  This hidden hot spot occupies the penthouse of a nondescript office building.  You can choose to sit inside at their small bar or outside on a nice size wrap around deck.  The drinks are strong and very exotic...i.e red rose petals and other floral arrangements. Fri/Sat nights why not do dinner and stay for the party.  A great DJ comes on around 9pm playing a mix of r&amp;amp;b, rock, and pop. There's also a dance floor so you can work off the calories from dinner and drinks :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;ROMANTIC EXPERIENCE:  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;So, based on the above you have two options: &lt;strong&gt;Option One&lt;/strong&gt;: you can do a half day at the spa ( massage, facial, salt scrub, light lunch) and then head over to Republic (10 minutes away) for dinner.  Also, why not spoil her and hire a chauffeur for the day, therefore you both can sit back, relax and enjoy each other.  &lt;strong&gt;Option Two&lt;/strong&gt;: Do a full day at the spa including dinner (great menu) and head downtown for after dinner desserts and dancing at Elevate Lounge.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like these ideas?
