My Top Eight Black Friday Sales:

J.Crew

50% off (!!!)

I am loving their new arrivals (so many fun and festive finds for this time of year!) but the sale also includes a lot of items I own and love. If you’re shopping for yourself, don’t miss my favorite slip skirt, my trench coat and some other favorites I recently shared here. Also just got this blazer in camel in 6 and it is sooo good.

 

Jenni Kayne

This brand is pricey so I always buy stuff when it is on sale and they are doing 25% off! See my favorites in my Jenni Kayne Apparel Review. Every piece I have kept is in heavy rotation. If you get one thing – I’d make it the Cashmere Fisherman. It is my most worn sweater (so much so I have it in four colors).

Merit Beauty

Their only sale of the year just launched! Score 20% off these gorgeous products – my favorites are all detailed here. Do not miss the blush and the blending brush – so good.

Senreve

Senreve bags are some of my favorites and select styles (over $300) are 30% off with code BF30. The Aria bag is one of my most worn bags.

Margaux

Timeless, comfortable shoes you’ll reach for time and time again. They rarely do sales so hop to their 20% off sale. A few exclusions apply. Two of my favorite timeless styles seen here and here are included. (I size up half a size in the mules!)

Everlane

Everlane rarely does sales so be sure to check out their up to 30% off of some of their most popular styles. Everlane styles I own on style:

White + Warren

One of my favorite cashmere brands rarely goes on sale so now is the time to snag the cashmere wrap I never travel without (makes a great pillow on the plane plus you can wear it as a scarf or even use it as a blanket!) 

Shopbop

25% off storewide with code HOLIDAY! The Shopbop sale never disappoints and it is when I treat myself to the more designer items I’ve been eyeing.  Below are some of my top picks from Shopbop plus a shoppable widget of even more items from Shopbop that I own that are on sale. 

Some of my Top Shopbop Sale Picks:

A favorite Fall & Winter bootie. So comfortable and one of the items I hear most about from you guys that you absolutely love and that they were worth the investment. A full review with styling ideas can be found here. They also come in a gorgeous cognac color.

My beloved APL sneakers. I sized down half a size to 6.5. So comfortable and no socks necessary! One of my most worn shoes for the last few years. They have so many cute styles and they are on the pricier side so this is a good time to buy them.

My favorite puff sleeve sweatshirt. I own it in two colors. Wearing a M.

My favorite waterproof Chelsea boot. So good for all of Winter. Also on sale at Nordstrom.

These classic loafers.

My favorite knee high investment boots. I had my cobble stretch the shaft a bit to make them roomier for my calves.

Senreve Bags – I own this one, this one and this one. They are so well made and so versatile. I carry mine constantly. 

BTW – these boots are also from Shopbop – some of my favs.

My favorite affordable cat eye sunglasses.

This gorgeous lace top that now comes in loads of colors. Wearing a M.

These great Levi jeans. Wearing size 28.  I also own them in black seen here.

Veja sneakers. The perfect casual sneaker for so many outfits.

Agolde Jeans. My favorite for so long and truly the jeans I feel best in. I have a whole Agolde Jeans Review if you want a breakdown of my favorite styles but scoring them on sale means you can buy a couple of pairs to try IMO. The Riley and Nicos are personal favorites.

My favorite lace trim cami. I’ve had this as a staple in my wardrobe for years and years. I own the black and the white. Size M.

One of my most worn sneakers (I am on my second pair!) They are perfect for errands, with loungewear and with athleisure. So comfortable and super chic. TTS.

These Commando Faux Leather Leggings. Perfect for pairing with oversized cozy sweaters at home and for around town. Size M.

 

Other Things I Own On Sale:

The Best of the Rest of Black Friday:

& Other Stories

25% off everything (this is the biggest discount I’ve seen them do!) Their coats and sweaters are always worth shopping.  I have this coat (S) and this coat (6) from this season and love them. They do easy free returns, too. Use code FRIDAY25. (Check sizing – I often size down in their coats and up in their sweaters).

Amazon

Loads of markdowns across categories. All my Amazon favorites can be shopped here. Also a lot of my favorite home items will be marked down, too! Mostly I’d look at great bigger ticket items like Apple Watches, Apple Macbooks and Apple Airpods all with markdowns on select models, a Kitchen Aid mixer, Nespresso machines (this is the one I have and love!), the Breville Espresso machines people are obsessed with, up to 30% on select YETI drinkware, Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones (I never travel without them but they are also great for WFH if you have noisy neighbors, construction sounds, etc.!), Fitbits, iRobot Roombas, home organizers, a Soda Stream, Dyson items and InstantPots.

And I always browse their Customers Most Loved items.

Also they are doing deals on Audible, too which I think would make a great gift.

WHAT I DID THIS WEEK:

• Spent time in London celebrating the holidays with family! It’s been so nice. I’ve been sharing pieces of my trip on Instagram.

READ + LOOK + LOVE:

• Latina owned businesses and entrepreneurs to shop and support.
• How French women decorate their homes.
• A beginner’s guide to cooking.
• How to salvage a workout after a bad night’s sleep.
• The history of New York in 27 buildings – such a fun read!
• How to make the most of your 24 hours.
• Ina Garten Makes Risotto With a Longtime Fan – my mom sent me this and it is so sweet. I also love what she said about all of us just needing one person to believe in us *cue the tears*.
• Clever ways to add more storage to small spaces.

SHOP AND LOOK LONGINGLY:

• I always love perusing Shopbop’s Under $200 selection – lots of good finds in their right now.
• I don’t own anything from Brooks Brothers but after seeing a friend in a beautiful outfit by them I went perusing their site and wowza – this dress is a show stopper and would be so good for a winter wedding, this camel hair coat is gorgeous, this sequin tweed jacket has my name all over it, this sequin plaid dress is so fun and would be perfect for an office holiday party and I love this preppy riding jacket, too.
• How beautiful are these vintage inspired earrings?
• Part wool coat, part trench – this coat is endlessly chic.

HELLO, HOLIDAYS!:

• If you’re looking for a thoughtful gift – I think stationery makes for a perfect one and this new line, Berkshire Press, that just launched is so beautiful. I of course bought the Francophile inspired notecards 🙂
• This little card case is one of my most used possessions and makes a great luxe gift.
• Who knew H&M Hone of all places had so many good holiday decor items!? The ornaments and wrapping paper in particular are worth perusing!
• Sezane just launched their Gift Shop. Dear Santa…
• I broke out my Bearaby to add it back to my bed last week now that it isn’t summer and man, did I sleep like a baby. I have the Cotton Napper and it really does bring so much calm to my anxiety. These blankets would make great gifts – they even have some for little ones!
