Experience A1A in a Luxury Rental Car Miami Style! What Do You Know About South Florida?

When people think of South Florida, one of the things that bursts to mind is A1A. This famous Florida avenue meanders directly along the turquoise and emerald shoreline, offering luxurious visions around every curve! We recommend a sexy pair of sunglasses, good company, your favorite music and an exotic South Beach rental car to lose yourself along this astounding avenue.

As stated, in order to best cover this stretch of beachside pavement, a luxury rental car Miami style is a must-it will add an indescribable adrenaline rush to the already exhilarating expanse of luxury sightseeing that is missing nothing but you!

From traditional charming villas, to chic and sophisticated high-rise luxury condos, there is much to see along A1A, so keep in mind that while the exotic rental car you selected may be fast, this is a leisurely drive that is meant to savor, and traffic moves at about 30 mph from Fort Lauderdale down through Miami and South Beach (not that you will be in a hurry with so much beauty to absorb!).

The essence and luxury of South Florida is evident along A1A, as the glittering Atlantic beckons from the east and you are bombarded with options including upscale international dining, unique and high-end couture and shopping, and entertainment, all in a dizzying array. Take your time, stop and shop, find a perfect upscale sidewalk café with fresh white linens and taste the local flavors while taking in your surroundings. This is definitely not a trip to rush!

The streets are well manicured and lined with an intoxicating mix of international people, giving South Beach a spicy and cultural appeal that is so refreshing. The zesty city lures visitors from all over the world to its pristine sidewalks and seaside splendor. Isn’t it about time you planned your South Florida vacation?

Top 3 Reasons Miami Will Surprise You

A trendy, stylish urban oasis, when people hear the word “Miami”, they often envision celebrities, nightclubs, beaches and mayhem (think Vegas with a coastline). While an amount of that does occur, the city is often a surprise for those who are visiting Miami and Miami’s famed South Beach for the first time.

Reason #1: The beaches are not overcrowded

You see, Miami is quite well-rounded, as is South Florida as a whole. In fact, there are considerable expanses of beachline that are attractively devoid of other people, making them a surprising discovery for the virgin traveler. There is nothing quite like the South Florida coastline, the marbled turquoise and cobalt hues invite your eyes to soak and your mind to revitalize.

Reason#2: Culture

Next, think international. Everywhere you turn, you find yourself immersed in a plethora of cultures: Spanish, Latin, Portuguese, French, German, Italian and more. People from all over the planet love to live in South Florida, and to vacation here regularly. What this makes for is a multiplicity of divine dishes, exhilarating entertainment options, and the ability to shop for unique pieces that will leave your friends begging to know where on earth you found them (Shhh!…we won’t tell either).

Reason#3: You Probably Will Not Run Into Will Smith

Though there are so many Dominican women with cinnamon tans, it is unlikely that you are going to personally run into Will Smith; Miami is his just his second home (if you are curious, the Smiths live in L.A.). Will was definitely correct with his facts though, the water is so clear you can see to the bottom, and hundred thousand dollar cars, everybody got em’. Many celebrities venture here to escape in our low-key, beachy atmosphere, because while there are plenty of luxurious property rentals and exotic car rentals in South Beach, it is also nice to feel off the radar and relax. Welcome to Miami…sorry, couldn’t help myself…:)

Thinking of a Mediterranean Escape? Bet You Didn’t Think of Tel Aviv!

Imagine a hip, crisp and cosmopolitan city along the striking Mediterranean shoreline that is alive and vibrant with some of the world’s most exceptional restaurants, shopping and entertainment experiences. I bet you did not think of Tel Aviv, but that is exactly what the picturesque and robust city has to offer. It is a remarkable and modern city nestled in proximity to many of Israel’s tourism highlights.

More and more people are making the discovery that Tel Aviv is much more than a place to traipse among ancient ruins or experience religious sites. The city boasts a fresh, cool and urban side that is uniquely its own, and quite different from its neighbor Jerusalem, 40 miles away. Brendan Connor, International Correspondent and world traveler, has visited Tel Aviv and told me,

“Tel Aviv is cool. Fridays and Saturdays are the weekends there, so everyone hits the beach on Friday. It is a highly modernized and lively city. The entertainment options and beauty are outstanding; I truly enjoyed my visit and would love to return someday.”

It is a rapidly growing city transitioning into an important international metropolis, it is essentially Israel’s New York City, and equally as fabulous. The city is divided into approximately 50 unique neighborhoods, each area offering a distinctive array of culture, cuisine, shopping and entertainment options. And remember, a short 40 miles away is Jerusalem, so why not explore Tel Aviv? It is a luxury vacation destination that is no longer a well kept secret, but an expanding treasure with something to offer everyone! So when you feel like exploring more of the exceptional places in our world, remember this tip and head to Tel Aviv!

The Real Jet Set Do What Marc Jacobs Says

For the real and really luxurious jetsetters of the world, take Marc Jacobs advice. The American fashion designer and icon knows what luxury travel actually means. Mr. Marc Jacobs says, “I don’t think there’s anything practical about traveling with a trunk. Luxury travel is traveling with a toothbrush. That’s it, end of story. The people who really live luxurious lives don’t need to pack. They’ve got stuff wherever they go."

Imagine Lifestyles is a luxury rental company and we do concur! Our company keeps luxurious jetsetters status quo and on the go. Meaning, our clients don’t even need a toothbrush because that is the least of it. We provide our clients with the jets to jet set; five-star properties with five-star amenities to live; and, exotic rental cars to race or just drive. We have exquisite yachts to rent and knowledgeable employees to get you into the best restaurants and nightclubs. You Imagine and we make the luxurious lifestyle reality.

Luxury lifestyle imposters are the ones travelling with the bulky Louis Vuitton trunks on commercial flights. When a real jetsetter reaches their destination they buy a seasonal wardrobe or we can even have someone do that for you. Marc Jacobs has it all right and the real jet set are on his brain wavelength.

One More About Black Diamonds

Not to sound like a broken record but it’s basically ski season. If you don’t have a Rocky Mountain home or haven’t decided where to make your reservations yet, then check this out. The Northstar project is a $55 million village in Lake Tahoe. It seems business has been pretty bad so a new travel package is being advertised to attract more skiers. The package celebrates the addition of more black diamond terrain that has been made on the mountain. If you are unfamiliar with skiing, black diamonds are the most challenging trails and terrain.

Thus, what is called the Northstar-at-Tahoe Resort’s black diamond ski package features seven nights of lodging in a three-bedroom, three-bathroom suite. Plus, six day lift tickets for two kids and two adults, lessons, equipment rentals, a spa package. Plus, $1,225 in dining and food credits, oh, and $10,000 black diamond necklace. The black diamond necklace that Northstar nonchalantly throws into the mix is being provided by one of the stores in the village. We haven’t seen it, so chances are it’s probably hideous but we appreciate the concept. The Northstar-at-Tahoe Resort’s black diamond ski package goes for a mere $26,653. Talk about desperation.

Aspen is the Fashion Mecca of the Skiing World

What could possibly be missing from Aspen, Colorado in the Spring? Apparently the fashion mecca of the ski world didn’t have an official fashion week. Prada, Ralph Lauren and Louis Vuitton have all maintained full stores in Aspen and now they have a spring fashion week to look forward to. For anyone who doesn’t know, Aspen is the posh ski spot that’s more about who you’re wearing and who you are than skiing. If that’s not your scene then don’t go to Aspen; for unpretentious skiing, go to Telluride, Colorado. Â

Aspen’s first-ever five day fashion week will launch March 1, 2009. There will be nightly fashion events, instore presentations, and aprÃ¨s-ski soirees to glamorize the "Mountain Lifestyle." By winter 2009/2010 the hope is for 15 high-fashion designers to show collections on full-scale runway productions, think Bryan Park glamour but in the Rockies.

Aspen Fashion Week 2009 will be a winter sports-ware forum filled with the ultimate A-list. Considering that the winter sports market is up and coming and took in nearly $3 billion last year it seems relevant. "Winter sports and resorts attract 6 million of the most affluent, influential, and athletic consumers in America, and while more and more leading designers are catering to this A-list group, up until now there have been no flagship fashion events to reflect this trend," said Lisa Johnson, the mastermind behind Aspen Fashion Week and former vice president of the Aspen Chamber Resort Association (ACRA). "With Aspen’s status as the king of ski resorts and winter culture, Aspen Fashion Week is ideally suited to be an important stop on the annual fashion week circuit." The confirmed sponsors worth mentioning are W magazine, Veuve Clicquot, Plum TV, The Sky Hotel, St. Regis Aspen Resort, The Little Nell, Limelight Lodge, and Aspen Peak magazine.

Skeptics that think an Aspen Fashion Week won’t make it in this economy, well, think what you want. Lisa Johnson has publicly mentioned the realities of our economy, the plan is to start small and grow with the power of the Aspen brand. "Aspen likes its events," Johnson says. "And Aspen Fashion Week is one that will never leave and go somewhere else. We have a perfect fusion of fashion, function, mountain lifestyle and winter wear. There’s no place this really works but here." Come on, it even rhymes, Aspen and fashion can’t be wrong.
