And I Said, What About, Breakfast at Tiffany’s??? Best Holiday Gifts From Tiffany & Co. at Any Price
Dec 9, 2009 Author: Katie Lara | Filed under: Jewelry
So, I have to go nerd on you dolls for a sec, we were so psyched when we received an invitation from Tiffany & Co. asking us to attend an actual BREAKFAST at Tiffany’s for Bloggers that they felt “created a distinctive voice and a blog worthy of must read status!!”
Moi!?! I was flattered beyond belief. The breakfast was before the store opened and before all the tourists had the chance to storm in and rub greasy fingerprints all over the gleaming glass cases. We had the store all to ourselves (via Reesey Witherspoon in Sweet Home Alabama)!
Of course I wasn’t just there to celebrate Smartypanties’ success, I got to preview the Holiday 2009 Collection. I’m sorry, daaaahlings but nothing is more holiday or celebratory for this girl than getting a little blue box!
I should know, they filled a blue box with this beautiful key necklace for yours truly! I felt so Blair Waldorf, though ever so slightly less classy as I tore through the ribbon and put the necklace on in a moving vehicle as I left.

Anyway, enough bragging check out the Holiday Gift Guide online. They’ve got some amazing pieces for any price range.

Best Lunch NYC: Best Salad to Go…and they’re cheap too!
Dec 8, 2009 Author: Katie Lara | Filed under: Food and Cocktails!
If you haven’t been to Just Salads in NYC you don’t know what you’re missing! I’m a huge salad snob and let me just tell you I eat lunch here at least 2x a week. They have every ingredient you’d ever dream of to add to your wrap or salad. They also have delish homemade dressings (literally 20 diff kinds). Plus you can buy a re-usable bowl and when you use it (each time) you get either 2 free veggies or a free cheese topping! Trust me, you won’t be disappointed. Also when you purchase a bowl you get a Loyalty card for salad VIPs. During peak lunchtime hours you get 5% off and after 2pm you get 10% off. It seriously pays for itself considering a reuseable bowl costs whopping $1!!
Standout ingredients: Wheatberries, Squash, Hearts of Palm, Natural Chicken (no antibiotics used! wahoo!!!), Lentils, banana peppers! Basically tons of other options other salad places don’t!
Added bonus–go to their nutrition calculator and add up exactly how many calories you’re consuming! Did you know how much more fat cheddar has than feta? I never would have known!!
There are locations: Murray Hill, 30 Rock, Financial District, Fashion District and Midtown East…oh yeah and Tokyo!

I’m obsessed with these whimsical bottles. They look so f-ing cute all lined up together. I know it’s juvenile but I can’t help wanting to collect them all. They’re only $30 a pop. They don’t have much perfume though. But I think they’re a fun gift to give. Plus you can throw it in your purse on the go.
