Meg Braff

Meg Braff’s  whimsical wallpapers and fabrics will make any room sing.  I was fortunate to stay in a guest room at my dear friend Maria Cerminara’s home which was decorated with Meg’s gorgeous wall covering.  The room felt like a Four Seasons hotel in part because of the elegant addition of Meg Braff’s wallpaper which is a … Continue Reading

Healthy Choices

Maria served me a yummy breakfast worthy of champions while I was her guest.  A ‘Jammy Egg’ with tomatoes and avocado served atop quinoa, flavored with Colavita Olive Oil and Goya’s Abodo seasoning which is available with and without pepper.  A great start to any day. So Suzy Enjoys.  

Corn Zipper

New West

LOTTE.99’s Western Shirt is my favorite update of the classic.  Giddy up, fashion partner.  So Suzy Says.
