Whether you live in Miami, have a vacation home in Miami, or are just visiting, the Kiron Solutions Concierge team offers services for a streamlined, stress-free stay. Memberships are available on three tiers and can cater to your every need. The Gold membership is geared to absentee owners who are looking to keep their property and vehicles in caring hands while away from Miami. These services include home and vehicle maintenance, as well as access to an online social calendar with local events and area restaurants. If you’re looking for a more hands-on service, the Platinum level includes all Gold perks but adds in-depth personal assisting. Organized bill payments, dinner reservations, event ticket purchasing, grocery shopping and scheduling are all offered to make those time-taking errands vanish from their member’s busy schedules.  The final category, Elite, allows each member to utilize these services and choose which are most needed for a customized concierge plan with Kiron Solutions.

WhyteGold, the online private members club has notched up its online boutique to include everything from Picasso paintings to private jets.  However, its latest addition is slightly more affordable and some might argue a little more tasteful.

A selection of limited edition handbags such as a Blue Marine Birkin in shiny porosus crocodile with palladium hardware by Hermes is advertised at $60,000 and personal delivery anywhere in the world can be arranged.  Other items include a pink version and an ostrich skin equivalent for considerably cheaper.

If you really have some cash to spend, consider making an offer on a 200 acre estate with opulent French style chateau in North Carolina, currently being advertised by a member at $12 million or a Wally Power 118 priced at £17.75 million.

It is often said that once you go black, you don’t go back.  The truth is no different when it comes to Amex’s black card made entirely out of aluminum and the status symbol of the few.  InsideLux has been receiving numerous requests to investigate what it takes to get a black American Express card, so we decided to publish a short guide on how to get a black Amex card.

1. You have to be an Amex customer for at least one year.
2. Charge at least $250,000 to your account.  If your limit doesn’t permit, prepay Amex the difference at the beginning of the month.  Spending $250,000 in a year sounds like a lot of money, but if you have a business you will soon realise that Amex might just be the right solution to pay your staff, cover business expenses and surprise your PR firm with a swanky black card instead of a boring cheque.
3. Pay the $5,000 sign up fee
4. Pay the annual renewal fee of $2,500
5. Additional cards cost $1,500

So what are the perks of going black?  Well to start you get personalised concierge service that will  doanything from help you buy your next yacht to booking a table at your local restaurant.  The second perk is an automatic upgrade from economy to business or first on several participating airlines.  This is certainly a fast track upgrade system and beats any airline frequent flyer program.  Discounts on cruises and private yachts of up to $500 come standard.

The International Preschool Curriculum (IPC) launched as the world’s first international curriculum for preschool to kindergarten aged children.  According to its website, the IPC focuses on raising the standard of preschool education and ensuring that every student is at least aware of a second language.  The IPC meets all major governmental standards in education and is widely revered as being the first academic accomplishment for participants, many of whom are more likely to secure placements at elite elementary schools.  Via: International Preschool Curriculum

Inspired by the old school elegance of the Moulin Rouge, Madame Royale’s style combines 1920’s French glamour with a sort of chic grunge twist if that’s possible.  The interior features brick walls, marble and dark wood and is illuminated by antique lighting fixtures dating back to a 19^th century style.  Towards the back of the lounge you can also find a more private patio set up with its own bar, leather couches and fire place set within the bounding frame of an enchanting iron balcony.
