Black Friday Sales + My Top Picks

Cheers to Black Friday, friends! I hope your bellies are full of pie, and your hearts full of love after a day spent with family. I was about to burst with gratitude I was feeling yesterday, but I’m ready for a little quiet time today…and of course, tackling my gift list!

There are so many amazing sales, it’s hard to know where to start. But stay calm and take deep breaths, you don’t want your clicking-finger to lock up on you….I’ll be your tour guide. I’m not going to laundry-list every last retailer, just the ones I’ll be shopping, along with my Top Picks from each. I’ve also thrown in great gift options under $25 for each!

NORDSTROM // This is the biggest surprise sale…take an extra 20% off select sale items!! That makes literally tons of stuff half-off or more! Of course one of my favorites of them all is my beloved kitten-cardi, which is now down to $31!

 

 

Along with the best leggings, knee boots and tunic! Seriously, these are the only leggings I own. They’re super thick and opaque with a comfy, wide waistband. And they’re 25% off! (Which practically never happens!) The boots are flannel-lined with extra cushy insoles, so I can walk for days in them. My tassel necklace is even 35% off!

 

Fit Tip: Both the leggings (I’m in an XS) and boots are true to size.

 

 

This peacoat is marked down even more, and available in tons of colors! I have it in black, camel and blush, but this crazy price has me considering another!

 

Fit Tip: I size up to a small.

 

 

Not only is this cashmere tunic sweater marked down again, but the plaid infinity scarf is back-in-stock and still under $25!

 

 

These darling booties are almost 40% off until Monday! I’m wearing the taupe, and they’re true to size.

 

Camo Two Ways

 

Finally, the best leg-lengthening jeans are up to 40% off! That crazy! They are mid-rise and just enough stretch to be comfy and hold their shape.

 

Fit Tip: Size down one, and stick with the regular length unless you’re 5’1″ and under. I’m in a regular 0, and had them hemmed about half an inch, but the petite were much too short for heels.

OLD NAVY  // 50% off almost everything sitewide, no code needed, prices adjusted once added to cart. I’ve gotten so much wear out of the camo puffer, and love pairing it with pinks and feminine details. (The pearl necklace is 40% off, too!!)

If you’ve been following this blog for a bit, then you know this is my favorite bag company…not only are the patterns and colors perfection, and they offer monogramming, but they’re fully customizable! I’ve never seen them offer this kind of discount, so take advantage if you’ve had your eye on a bag! They have laptop and cosmetic bags that make great gifts, as well.

COLLEEN ROTHSCHILD // 30% off everything site-wide with code BLKFRI. Like, everything! This line has transformed my skin, and part of my morning and nightly skincare routine. I got hooked on  the detox mask, cleansing balm, and face oil early on, and then just kept adding new products!

Now my morning routine consists of gel cleanser, radiance serum and sheer renewal cream. Every night, I wash with the cleansing balm, and follow it with age renewal serum and extreme recovery cream. Then once a week I use the detox and dual enzyme masks.

    In the pic with you and your mom, under Barrington, do you recall where your turtleneck tunics are from? I’ve been looking for one of those and that’s almost exactly what I’m looking for!
