My Most Popular Posts — Don’t Miss Them!
I love writing this little blog with all my heart, and it’s truly my happy place! Starting a small business in my mid-50’s has been the journey of a lifetime, and I’m really grateful that I get to meet some of you in person — sometimes in random places! For example, a few weeks ago in Palm Springs, I rolled out of bed, put on a baseball cap (thank goodness), and while eating breakfast in a corner, a follower from Ohio came over and introduced herself. Last month, while touring the Kips Bay Show House, I met a new friend in the upstairs bedroom 😂 Even in a small café in Paris, while heading out on a food tour, I met two So Susie subscribers. To say that my heart is full is an understatement!
If you’ve been here for a while, you know I write a lot. And, some of the best posts get scooted down, and kind of get lost. Of course, I don’t want you to miss them! Recently, someone asked if I ever run out of ideas — and I really don’t. The hardest part is taking the ideas and narrowing them down in order to make them interesting and not too long. Some might still be too long, but I try.
So, I thought I’d gather some of the most popular posts on So Susie in recent weeks that some of you may have missed. Since my new website launched last month, I wrote several posts that didn’t go out in emails. For example, this beauty post and this travel post are on my blog, but you didn’t receive them directly. So … check the blog for new posts every now and then! And, keep reading this post to see the most popular posts of late, including this one about shoes, and this product reviews one. Cheers, and thank you for your support! 🥂

I get lots of DMs every day (which I absolutely love 😊), and hands down, the single most asked question is “what do I wear to xxx event?” Other questions I get often include what to wear to a wedding, a work event, a birthday celebration, a cocktail party, and on vacation — to name just a few.

Right now, there are many options to choose from, and in particular, there are 7 dresses that keep selling out … because everyone loves them! Click here to read the post.
10 Beauty Products I Fell In Love With This Past Year
Pappinelle robe | Parker Hotel, Palm Springs
Like many of you, I enjoy experimenting with new beauty products, and even consider myself to be a bit of a beauty junkie. I’m in no way implying that I’m an expert at applying makeup, or that I’m familiar with every new item out there … but I’ve certainly tried my fair share over the years! And, since I’ve been doing my own makeup since high school, I must admit I kind of know a thing or two about the actual products many of us use. So, I thought I’d share the 10 beauty products I fell in love with this past year. Click here to read the post.

The one color that works magic on every outfit!
Cara Cara dress | YSL sandals | Celine bag
Several years ago, I was helping a client at Nordstrom. When we walked into the dressing room., the most beautiful bag was hanging on the hook! It was a creamy saddle brown caramel color, and it changed the way I think about this color. At the time, it was the “it” bag seen all over the streets of NYC during Fashion Week. And, there it was, hanging right in front of me 🙂
Sure, the Loewe Puzzle bag is still considered a classic — but it was the color that captured my attention. The beautiful outfits that were created around this gorgeous bag were elevated and sophisticated; it really took everything to the next level. So, now the question is: which caramel-colored pieces should you invest in? Well, click here and I’ll give you my best suggestions!

The list goes on and on, so hopefully this post will help guide you to make the best selections when you’re deciding which items to buy.
