Dear Reader,

With so many exciting things happening at LuxuryLifestyle.com this holiday season it is hard to know where to start. Perhaps the most important is that we are embarking on a full redesign of luxurylifestye.com. The new site will employ many new technologies and user features which will greatly enhance the luxury experience for everyone involved. Here is a sneak peek of what we are working on. We have also brought on a whole new team to complete this endeavor and sustain continued development & improvements beyond the launch of the new site. We are scheduled to launch early next year. I will be sure to keep you up to date on all the details!

Along with the new site, we will be introducing several new categories, one of which will be Charitable Organizations . Being in the luxury sector we are privy to many acts of great generosity throughout the community and we look forward to highlighting and promoting these through the new Charitable Organizations category.


Sneak Peek Preview of the
New Luxury Lifestyle Home Page

Last month, we attended a wonderful event at Barclay Butera’s showroom in Los Angeles to celebrate one such act.

We encourage you to send us charitable opportunities and events that we can promote in the New Year.

Wishing you a very happy & luxurious holiday,

Amanda McConnell

On Tuesday, October 30th, Luxury Lifestyle attended the 4th Anniversary of theBarclay Butera Los Angeles showroom hosted by ELLE DÉCOR. At the event Butera donated $31,000 to Children’s Action Network (C.A.N.) for their continued work with foster care in the U.S. He raised the funds from auctioning off his personal, redesigned Airstream trailer on eBay recently, with all the proceeds going toward the donation. During the evening we were enchanted by Hollywood’s favorite chanteuse, Morganne, and admired Butera’s latest offerings throughout the 7,500 sq foot showroom.

Designer Barclay Butera, recipient of the 2007 IFDA / NY Circle of Excellence Award for Interior Design, is on a mission to redefine Luxury. He embraces this concept as he works with his clients to create for them a beautifully elegant and livable environment - their own personal haven. His generous donation to C.A.N. (www.childrensactionnetwork.org) will be used to raise awareness about and finding homes for the more than 114,000 children in foster care in the United States who are waiting for an adoptive family and improving outcomes for the more than 500,000 children in foster care.

You can visit Barclay Butera on Luxurylifestyle.com or at www.barclaybutera.com.
