It’s true: You can’t take it with you.

But that’s the least of your problems. Why fret over what you can’t smuggle into the afterlife if you don’t have time to shop in this one?

Thank heavens for Susan Woodruff, a 30-year shopping veteran who’s built relationships with high-end retailers, specialty stores, and boutiques around the world. She’ll happily do your bidding.

Don’t send her out just for shorts at Old Navy, though. Woodruff specializes in couture, precious jewels, and whatever the-sky’s-the-limit knickknack you have a soft spot for. She’ll shop for clothes, cars — even yachts. Service is complimentary, and she even makes house calls. So you’ll get the best luxury finds and still be able to accomplish everything on your to-do list.

And you won’t have to kill yourself trying.

Susan Woodruff Luxury Shopping, 30 Highland Park Village, suite 212, Highland Park (214-522-6842 or swluxshop.com).
