Am I the only one super late with this?!?!? I was at the mall last weekend and BOOM there was a Sephora inside JCPenney!! I went in to check it out, but otherwise I absolutely loathe JCPenney...it's good for Bridal Registries, but other than that I find the store super boring!!! I guess I wasn't the only one because the Sephora seems to really brighten the vibe inside the department store. Of course some are smaller than other Sephoras, but I love Sephora for their roll on fragrances, beauty incentives when you purchase stuff, extensive fragrance collection, urban decay, and skin care items!!! I will take a Sephora whereever I can find one-Even JCPenney!! Apparently this has been in the works since earlier this year, and I'm the late one!!! Hey...can't argue with accessibility!

Sam Edelman Adena Flats!!

I LOVE these Sam Edelman flats!! They also come in a pinky silver...aren't they unique!?!? Cute way to jazz up flats, which because I'm tall, I am a fan of moreso than heels alot of times....CAUTE!!!!!

ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?!?!?!!

I have NEVER been one to be all over the Iphone, and I'm happy with my Sprint Evo but are you SERIOUS!?!?!?!? Apple cannot monopolize the mobile phone industry like this...got me thinking about switching! That keyboard is UNREAL Are you getting this phone!?!? That's something you camp out for!! Apple done did it AGAIN!!

Some new faves....

Hey yall!!! Funny my url is opinionofaglamchik.blogspot and I have not offered an opinion on anything even remotely glam or unglam lately. Forgive me! If you follow my other blog, then you know I am JUST starting to get my energy back, I just updated that one and figured since I'm logged in I will update this one by letting you all in on some new and not so new faves of mine....leggooooooooo

Well, I have become the self proclaimed youtube junkie this summer for all things girly, prissy, and glam!! I have found two new favorite youtubers, and I think they are friends, but their videos are awesome!! The first one is AllThingsFabulous101 and the other is SongbirdDiva4life...they both hail from up north, New York to be exact and have the best reviews on everything from hair, makeup, clothes, wardrobe necessities, giveaways...the works*** I have to say my favorite of the two is Miss Asia of All things fabulous 101 though; her reviews are among the most thorough on "the tube" lol!

Some other new favorites of mine are; NYX makeup products (cheap & great quality). I found out about NYX through All Things Fabulous' videos. I may be late with that one, but I love the quality and they are so economical. Further, in my quest to STOP paying MAC cosmetics $30 a pop for foundation, I have found a drugstore substitute that I probably love more...the Maybeline Fit Me Foundation. I swear by it these days! Also, ummm I have not tried her lipsticks yet, but I am so fascinated by the Keyshia Dior lipstick line because I'm a colour whore and her line has NO shortage of pigments...

Some new brands that I am probably going to fall in love with but are not as popular yet, are Endeavor DC a new, local clothing line in the DC area. You can follow Endeavor DC at @ShopNDVR on Twitter and view their designs at http://www.ndvr.bigcartel.com/!! Gotta support the local entrepreneurs.

Also, I have noticed that so many new accessory lines have come out...and last night, I came across one I'd never heard of on the bigcartel website called Rachel Stewart Jewelry. I love er designs...find her at http://www.rachelsteward.bigcartel.com/

Bargain Shopping...

I've been ordering alot of books lately because, as you know, one of my resolutions was to read more. Anywho, I don't usually check books out the library because I like to own them and may ReRead them in the future, but I do usually buy them. My favorite place to buy books is from Borders but online for the most part because I love their Borders Rewards program....coupons & discounts are sent ALL the time! So on to the deals....I usually pay retail for my books BUT today I discovered Borders Marketplace. I don't know how many of you knew about Borders Marketplace already but it's just like Ebay, Amazon in that previously owned, used items are sold for significantly cheaper prices. Looking for books, to rebuy old CDs or new ones, or movies....buy them here! I LOVE 90s R&B and they had Monica's Miss Thang album for, get this, $2.06!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You know I had to get that because the item was said to be in great condition and the seller had a great reliability rating. Long story short for $36 I purchased a movie, 2 CDs, 2 books. At retail value you can get a CD and A book for $30. It's my new THING....I recommend it highly. Keep in mind I ordered these things today but I will update about the quality of my stuff such as; do the CDs play all the way through, are the books ripped & is the movie the original and in great quality. STAY TUNED.....

MY SHIPPING WAS STANDARD BUT FREE TOO*

Tis the Season to be JOLLY!!!

I love this time of the year!!! Its family/loved one gathering time, the smell of mint & pine are in the air, rich dark colors and lights are abound!!!! Not to mention my 22nd birthday is next Monday the 7th!!!!! Anywho, how did everyone's Thanksgiving go? Mine was wonderful, but more quiet than normal this year. I did go see one of my Alma Mater's play in DC's Turkey Bowl though (yea imma proud Ballou Knight). I shopped this weekend and finally saw Precious (fought back tears the whole time).

What are everyone's holiday plans?? Traveling? Did you start shopping yet? Be Merry blogfamily and savor the moments!!!!

OH everybody in the DC area should check out the ICE @ Gaylord National this holiday season. I had so much fun with my mom and sister when we went. Be sure to bundle up though! To find out more about this event GOOGLE Christmas on the Potomac.

Anywho, whats good for the holidays??!?!?!? LET ME IN!!!

40/40, Tropicana, Trump Plaza, Caesars

I am at work so beyond tired it doesn't make any sense. This weekend was loooong!!! I had fun though, it was all well deserved! To start off the Girl Gone Crazy weekend my best friend and her other bestii went to my bestii's house for Champagne, birthday cake, food, and girl talk....a pajama party between the 3 of us so to speak. Mind you, this was after work Friday night, I'm already tired*

Saturday, myself, my bff, another friend, and my bff's cousin hit up The Tender Rib (a new spot owned in Temple Hills) and got some soul food. If you're in the DC area, you must try their food. So far i've had the ribs, greens, yams, fried chicken, fried fish, BBQ Chicken, potatoe salad, and mac & cheese....NOTHING WAS LESS THAN TASTY!!!!! It's owned by a friend's family and was a real treat. After gettin' our food we drove to Atlantic City. OMG, I'm so tired @ this point but doing all the driving. I woke up once we arrived to AC though. Tropicana was poppin, but Trump Plaza was our first stop. We had a ball, taking pictures in front of Caesars, fight @ 40/40, ate @ P.F Chang, Gambled it up @ Tropicana for the rest of the night, and the Malibu & Pineapple I had kept right. I had so much necessary fun with my girls. We arrived home @ about 7:30 Sunday morning.

I got some sleep then did some light shopping with the bff and LOL and then back to the Tender Rib to pickup our Sunday dinner & wine. This has been THE PERFECT year!!!! I have to have fun havin' it up to send it off. NEW YEARS PLANS ARE DEFINITELY IN THE WORKS!!!!!

What did you all do this weekend? Any special holiday plans in the works?

I LIKE BeBe too, hopefully their line can get me to LOVE BeBe** They seem to have great style and know what consumers are looking for Kim started out as a celebrity stylist with, among her clients Brandy (enter RayJ, Video cam and Kinky porn music) and the sister with their mom own 3 clothing boutiques....GET IT DOLLS, MAKE THAT MONEY**

LET THE KARDASHIAN SISTERS REMIND YOU TO BE ON YOUR DAILY GRIND....MAKE MOVES DOLLS, **KISSES**

The weekend...

So, this weekend I was supposed to get a complete makeover. Well, things didn't exactly happen that way. I did get my hair done and it looks fab if I may say so myself. As for the minx (nails) I didn't get around to that. I'm a little cautious about going that route because i'm hearing from a couple of ladies that they begin to peel. Maybe that's a result of poor skill of the person who put theirs on, but as with anything new one has to question if that's just a con to the new item. I have seen some cute minx and was looking to get plain black and silver for my nails but @ $45-$50 a whop I don't need peeling. Maybe i'll just stick to my regular adventures of regular, drawn on nail art. I DIDN'T GET TO SEE CHRIS ROCK'S GOOD HAIR EITHER** My hairstylist's boo is in town so we'll just wait til he's gone to sip wine and look at black women chat about the dos dont's and rules of BLACK HAIR** DID ANYONE SEE IT? WHAT DID YOU THINK?? I did manage to go shopping and if there is any question to whether the recession is ending just take the asker to the mall....IT WAS PACKED THIS WEEKEND!!!! I didn't get much for myself besides some work clothes but what in the HAM SANDWICH was I smokin' to buy my not yet 15 year old brother $400 Prada High Tops** I have never spent that much money on any thing that wasn't for me but I pride myself on being giving as I am anything but a selfish biotch and suppose that was the reason I had $400 to just spend on sneakers for someone else....GIVE PEOPLE WITH AN OPEN HEART!!!!

I said all of that to say I enjoyed my weekend EVEN THOUGH all my goals weren't accomplished. However, if anyone has seen GOOD HAIR, tell me how you liked it and for those that haven't tried the minx, I will let you know ASAP how I like them when I get them. HAVE A BLESSED DAY & STRIVE TO BE A BLESSING TO SOMEONE ELSE**

MAKE ME OVER!!!

So, I haven't written personal post in a hot one but not that anyone cares, i'm getting a makeover this weekend!! As I mentioned it's Fall and with the changing of the seasons one SHOULD ALWAYS opt for ways to switch things up from the way you did it the last season....so i'm going to the salon this weekend to get new Fall hair, lashes, makeup & nails (GETTING THE MINX), and of course shopping for new extra trendy office attire. Being the youngest in the office automatically equals being the flyest!!! Who knows I may even put a pic up EVEN THOUGH, I swear by not putting a pic up on blogger as I maneuver through my personal keep some things personal, refusal to upload pics to the internet cause I can't control who views, uses them movement even though it's too late and four years of FB use, I DIGRESS, anywho, This will be a GREAT WEEKEND!!!
