Originally raised in San Francisco, Marin, and Sonoma Counties, Susan Michals decided the sun and lifestyle of Los Angeles was much more haute. She has reported on some of the most successful designers in fashion, (Valentino, Bijan) experienced some of the most luxurious locales in the world, and regularly attends some of the biggest events on the West Coast (even beyond that of the celebrity kind). She relishes the occasional afternoon at the idyllic Kate Somerville salon, lunches at Cecconi's, and for the ultimate in Los Angeles relaxation - languishing poolside at the Beverly Hills Hotel.
