R&S

What do you love most about your work?

Suzanne

I love how every day – and sometimes every hour – is different. The pace of moving between projects, photo shoots, parties, strategy meetings, along with working with an amazing array of clients is exciting to me. It keeps me on my toes!

R&S

One piece of advice you would give your 18-year old self:

Suzanne

Take a deep breath. It’s all going to work out like it’s supposed to. And, you’ll come to realize the world isn’t as black and white as you think it is now. There are many, many shades of grey!

R&S

Your motto in life:

Suzanne

I want it all! In fact, I have this blazing in white neon on a large wall in my office. It’s not referring to the material things in life (although, those are nice!); it’s about going for what you want out of life, but still having balance.

R&S

At 9 am each day, you are:

Suzanne

Glued to my laptop – either at my desk or at the Dry Bar. I get some of my best work done there!

R&S

Nail color currently on your hands and feet:

Suzanne

Opi’s Guys and Galaxies. The silliest name for a color, but I swear the color works with everything. It’s been my “go to” color forever!

How do you decompress:

Suzanne

Wine. Red wine, which matches my nail polish.

R&S

Which of the 7 deadly sins are you guilty of:

Suzanne

Lust. I don’t think you can find one woman in a fashion-related field that isn’t guilty of lust, and maybe even a little envy. I’m always lusting after the next Gucci fur or the latest runway look.

R&S

Where does your credit card get the most use:

Suzanne

Hands down, I’d have to say Forty Five Ten.

R&S

Cocktail of choice:

Suzanne

Casa Dragones tequila, sparkling water and two limes. Super refreshing and super low-cal.

R&S

If you weren’t publicist, you’d be a [fill in the blank]:

Suzanne

If I weren’t a publicist, I’d be a magazine editor. I love writing and the organized chaos of deadlines.
