Men’s Vests

Mr. Hills and his 10th grade Advanced European History Class at the Portledge School pointed out a horrible hole in my fashion finds: vests.  Thank you, Phil, my long-time friend and fellow Portledge graduate for pointing out the error of my ways. One of my favorites is this classic Thom Sweeney which provides a light, layer of … Continue Reading

Off The Shoulder Chic

An off-the-shoulder neckline and dramatic ruffled sleeves make this Caroline Constas’ ‘Apollonia’ dress chic.  Made of crisp cotton-poplin in a white and blue striped pattern it’s as comfortable as it is pretty.  Pair it with sliders or sandals for a perfect vacation look.  So Suzy Says.     

The Thrill of Neutral

My friend’s make-up obsessed tween swears by The Naked Palette by Urban Decay.  It features a dozen bronze-hued eyeshadows in an insane range of textures including matte, satin, shimmer and sparkle. The brand’s proprietary blend of ingredients plus its Pigment Infusion System make for shadows that blend well and last all day (and night) long. So Suzy … Continue Reading

Holy, Basil, Healthy One

Ingest a few drops of Holy Basil liquid extract from Herb Pharm and feel the sense of peace within as it immediately calms nervous system. This Holy Basil is Certified Organically Grown is carefully shade-dried, and is then thoroughly extracted. Try it and help your adjustment to the New Year go smoothly.  So Suzy Says.

Better Than Sex… ALMOST

Better Than Sex mascara will make your lashes lust-worthy.  Buy it and get to batting those lashes after applying the  collagen-fueled formula with its specially shaped brush.  This mascara is the perfect New Year for your peepers.   So Suzy Says.

Yummy

Doan Bakery  makes the best coconut cake ever! Thank you, John Caribino for the tip – and for bringing this yummyness to Monica’s party.  I swear, this showstopper cake – and the annual Holiday Soiree thrown by Monica, the hostess with the most-ess – is worth a trip to California.  So Suzy Says.   

Better Buttah, Baby

Professional foodies Lisa Stalvey and Frank Coady have created the BEST BUTTER ever.  Churned from Grass fed butters and only the finest (mostly organic) butters, these butters will make everything it touches gourmet. They also just released a vegan, coconut butter collection.  Bon Appetit.  So Suzy Says.  

Pointy Perfection

Love these classic, velvet shoes with a touch of teal.  They’re perfect for date night, party night or, at $61.00,  just because.  So Suzy Says. 

Comfort Mule

Gucci’s indulgently elegant and oh so très chic velvet mule with leather trim gives me chills.  Made from Italian, dyed lamb shearling and a fur lining they’re like a hug for your feet.  They’re the only thing one of my gal pals can wear after an evening in party heels. So Suzy Says.

Festive for Fido

Poochie Mama Hawaii creates waterproof, stink proof and dirt proof collars and leashes for four-legged family members that let your pooch be festive all year long.   Saw an adorable Golden Retriever come into Room at the Beach looking festive and sweet… it took great restraint to let the bundle of adorableness go home with its owner.  So … Continue Reading

La La Land

La La Land, the must-see feel good movie of the season.  See it with someone you love.  So Suzy Says.

Happy Holidays

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. May your holidays, however you celebrate them, be joyous.  So Suzy Says.

Classic Cardigan

A good cardigan is hard to find.  Thankfully J. Crew has a classic – and it’s even well priced.  So Suzy Says.

Shoes the Doctor Ordered — Part Two

Dr M’s are always great especially if you’re standing on your feet a lot.  SoSuzySays. Thank you, Amanda

Global Grins

I met Todd and Joselyn Miller at my Semester at Sea program.  Since then the two of them have traveled to over 70 countries and all seven continents together. Despite many medical challenges that they’ve faced due to Joselyn’s battle with Shulman’s Syndrome.  While they’ll treasure the landmarks they’ve experienced it’s the people they met along the way … Continue Reading

The Girl Who Saved Christmas

I just bought this sweet book by William Thomas Thach for my daughter.  The Girl Who Saved Christmas is  a beautiful reminder of the power of forgiveness.  So Suzy Says.

Shoes the Doctor Ordered

Flat shoes by Dr Martens with a leather upper and glossy patent finish.  They add a dash of retro-chic that will be a comfort to your feet.  So Suzy Says.

Long-Sleeved Classic

If your son is like mine, he often shows up in short sleeves even when it’s cold outside.  Buy him — whichever man in your life is blissfully unaware of the temperature – a couple of these and make sure that hey, your baby is not cold outside. So Suzy Says. 

Top-tastic

A romantic semi-sheer, silk chiffon blouse with ruffle accents and covered buttons. You’ll look dreamy and romantic wherever you go in it. Also comes in black.  Suzy Says.

Classic Party Dress

A lacy and lovely iteration of the essential Little Party Dress.  Also comes in black.  So So Says.
