I’m Bringing Sassybax- Great New Lingerie Company
Jan 5, 2009 Author: Katie Lara | Filed under: LingerieHey Now! I found something that’s bringing sexy back after this holiday season…the non-girdle-girdle! I don’t know about y’all but I went to town this holiday season on anything I could get my hands on! Cupcakes, Salt-n-vinegar chips, pad Thai, movie theater popcorn–the usual suspects! Smartypanties had lots to celebrate this year! I graduated law school, passed the bar, got a new job and have a wonderful boyfriend (omg please don’t kill us we realize how annoying we sound). Anyway, to celebrate I treated myself to just about anything I could think of. There was always some excuse. But that’s neither here nor there, sorry to regale you with our gluttony. Point is I found a solution that will work for me in the meantime until I can get rid of my food-baby–Sassybax Slimming Slip and Long Leg Panty. Oy, we know we sound like a grandma but they’re amazing!
Long Leg Panty

These bad boys have tons of different built-in knit support systems to lift and separate your rump, while they trim the hips, thighs and tummy … all without unsightly seams(i.e. backfat and lovehandles). The best thing about these is that the waist band does not pinch or roll down. Every time I moved I felt like I had to yank those up again. Sassybax though stayed in place! And guess what- even though these are $55, you can wear them all the time. These seriously make you look smooth and help suck you in so you can comfortably fit into whatever you’re wearing (sans girdle lines showing- nothing is less sexy than that!)
The Thinning Slip

This thing doesn’t ride up either and it made me look flubber-free under my bandage dress which is about the tightest item I own. I wore this all night and it really never rode up. There was no tug of war trying to keep this in place. She stayed put all night long! It also has a built in bra so I didn’t have to have 6 straps showing. It smoothes unwanted back-fat. Uch I can’t believe I’m writing all this, I’m making myself less attractive to men as I type…see that devotion ladies!! Pick one up today for your next formal occasion. Sassybax Thinning Slip $78.
They also have tons of great items. Visit them at Sassybax.com
This is something I would spend more money on and have it forever. This makes you look flawless in whatever you wear. I mean, what’s the cost of looking hot even after the holiday weight gain? Smartypanties thinks these are priceless…
So we may have been the only fans of Lo Bosworth. Her snotty attitude earned her resident biotch on “The Hills” but we still loved her. She was the only person on that show with any opinion on anything! Unfortunately we now think she’s finally lived up to her “lights are on but nobody’s home” look in her eyes. She was at the Hills finale party at Tavern on the Green (we’re late we know! Sorry) rocking a look donned on Forever21’s website! Only a girl from The Hills would copy an outfit from Forever 21 but go out and find a more expensive version. Unless she really purchased the outfit at Forever21, in which case we still love you, Lo. But we doubt it.

Restaurant Review: Del Frisco’s New York City Best Steak Ever!
Jan 2, 2009 Author: Katie Lara | Filed under: Restaurant Review
If you’re in the mood for a fantastic dining experience you must give this restaurant a try!
The decor is beautiful. The restaurant is huge. There are tons of tables, two floors, high ceilings with windows that drop from top to bottom. It was the perfect place to relax inside while watching the hustle and bustle of tourist-central.

The salad was pretty average, nothing to write home about. I’d probably get an appetizer instead. The caesar I got was okay but definitely not spectacular.
However, when my steak arrived the waiter waited around to make sure it was cooked perfectly. A very nice touch especially since restaurants rarely seem to cook steaks to the temperature of your liking the first time. It was perfect! I would tell them next time to go easy on the butter on the plate because the steak was sitting in a pool of it. However, this was easily remedied by getting a new plate. The ironic part? Probably that I dunk each bite in bernaise sauce which is essentially butter and tarragon.
The side dishes were spectacular. The macaroni and cheese was stuffed with real oozing cheese. The creamed spinach was the perfect balance of cream and spinach (though if you’re a vegetarian note that there is bacon in it). The onion rings were GINORMOUS and the homemade potato chips (which also made their way to the bernaise sauce) were to die for.
We got the chocolate souffle which was pretty standard and yummy but truthfully I could barely breathe after finishing off my entire steak complete with butter and bernaise. Good thing we decided to walk home!
