I’ve also thought of a lot of tactics to my shopping and have decided the best way is for me to handle it one retailer at a time. I’m going to the retailers I trust, the ones with free shipping options, the ones with big sales right now and with sales on Black Friday, the ones with good return policies…the ones I trust the most.
So, here is what I’m loving from my favorite stores right now…these are things that I personally need for the holiday season and things I think will be great as gifts too. And there are sales, sales and more sales!
Let’s get shopping…
Right now is the perfect time to be shopping Gap! This is such a great sale (that ends tomorrow!) and you can find loads of gifts and a few extra pieces to make your Christmas season sparkle.
First up…
I’m going to go ahead and call the Guinness Book of World Records because this is the softest scarf EVER! There is no way on Earth anyone else could ever create a softer scarf. Period. It’s epic. Buy one as a gift and then buy another one for yourself. Softest. Ever.
Ladies! I have gone Gap Scarf happy! They have so many yummy (that’s right, I said yummy) scarves that would be perfect Christmas gifts! And seriously…get one for yourself too. You’ll be mad if you don’t. Click here to see all of these fabulous scarves!!
How else should you use that 35% off discount??? On Gap’s outerwear…
I have worn my plaid jacket so many times already!! It just makes every outfit seem more special. I love all of these coats. Click here to see them all.
Run ladies…don’t walk. They sold out last time and I had friends buying obscure sizes just to get their hands on one. They’re in stock…go!
And then there is the Best Shirt EVER. Ever. In the history of mankind. And you people are buying them in bulk! If you’re one of my 5 readers than haven’t bought one four, click here. Stop resisting. It’s Gap’s gift to us all. And don’t buy one. You will hate yourself for buying one. I’m not joking…most of my readers have bought at least 3 or 4. They’re.that.good. And right now, they have 6 exclusive solid colors online! I might have bought two…

Next up on my Black Friday shopping…I want to show you one thing at Loft…
Yes. The perfect red coat. I just love it! I was wearing it the other day over my gym clothes and Erika kept going on and on about how cute I looked…and I was wearing my gym clothes and this coat! Then Narci saw me in it and said I should just put a picture of me on my Christmas card in this coat and forget about my family :). It comes in navy too but seriously…how can you not love the red?
And if a bootie is what you’re looking for, here are the most comfortable pair ever made (thank you Jessica Simpson!). They come in 3 different colors and they are just flat out comfy! I have been wearing mine every day! I love, love, love these booties!

I can't even believe that I'm taking the time to leave a comment. It's making my heart race because I feel like everybody is out there shopping and getting MY deals. But then I realize that it's 4:56 a.m., and I can probably slow my roll just a bit. It's finally time for me to get a striped shirt. Can't believe I haven't until now. And the puffer vest? I want one in every color. And I get soooo excited about make-up this time of year!!!!! Such great deals to be had!!!! Off to shop…
Slightly Askew Designs says
I still haven't broken down and bought the softest shirt ever yet… I'm about to go check and if the puffer vest is back in stock it will be mine TODAY! 🙂
Brooke says
Okay, you've sold me on the best shirt ever at the Gap, but I have no idea what size to get! I'm short at just 5'3" but I'd like to wear them with leggings (would that work?)…any size recommendations before I just randomly pick a size? love your blog!!
Alison @ Get Your Pretty On says
LOVE that pink plaid scarf and NEED that puffer vest! Heading over to Gap now to check both out.
Wife Goes On says
Love the scarves!
Katelyn Magerko says
Love your blog Shay!! Do you know what size you bought the softest shirt ever in?
Katelyn Magerko says
Love your blog Shay! Do you remember what size you bought in the best shirt ever in?!
Mix and Match Mama says
I bought a small ( my normal). I think they fit true to size!!
This Gingers Journey says
I have the softest shirt ever and it really is SO SOFT! Wore it this weekend and loved it!! Love the puffy vest too! I just got a tweed one from Old Navy and it might be my new best friend 😉 I highly suggest checking it out! Great post, love your finds!
JenEMoffitt says
I wasn't in the shopping spirit until now! Thanks for the ideas and motivation. 🙂
Kari Kirkland says
If I got the card, and was feeling the urge to just buy for myself…I think I would go for the Wellies and probably the red jacket….and no sharing. The puffy Gap vest, makes ME look puffy 🙂
Denise says
What a great giveway and you have excellent taste!! Crossing my fingers I win!!!
Kim says
Arrrrghhh….I have not been able to get to The Gap's website for more than a week…..it just won't open for me! I am beyond frustrated. Am I the only one having this issue?
I want the softest shirt ever, as well as the plaid scarf….doggone it!
The Whitt Family says
I NEED to go shopping now! 🙂

Thanks for all this! Soooo informative! I did want to give y'all a heads up…"between the hedges" applies to Sanford Stadium in Athens, Georgia, home of the "Bulldawgs". Kind of shocked that Andrew did not know that…I guess he has been too far removed from the game and the SEC is not his conference, but still….interesting to say the least! Oh well nobody is perfect, right? 😉
Thanks, Shay. Keep swimming!

Shay – are your black Hunter boots the glossy ones? I am 41 years old and am debating on whether or not to buy a pair…wondering if I am too old for those. I was eyeing the glossy ones and wanted to know if that is the ones you have. Thanks for the information. Also, did you order them in the shoe size you always wear? Love your style!
Mix and Match Mama says
Yes! My Hunters are the black glossy ones. I always wear an 8 and that's their size! I love them!
Anonymous says
Okay. Thanks for the information about the Hunter boots. They always look so cute on you in the pictures you post. Also, I love the pink ones that your little girl wears. She is adorable! If I had a little girl I would definitely buy her a pair. However; I have two, sweet boys. 🙂

Mix and Match Mama says
All you do is go through and click next to each thing you want to do. You might need to log out and back in on Face Book if it's not pulling up.
Kari Bean says
Hi Shay! Thanks for all the great recommendations. I bought the softest shirt and the puffer vest! I read some reviews that said the shirt shrank in length after washing. Any thoughts? Have yours washed well?
mrsuribe says
I received a card in the mail that said Gap is 50% off November 21 – 23 if you use your Gap or Old Navy card. The online code is BFCARD. I can't wait to buy the softest shirt.
Mix and Match Mama says
I've washed and worn mine several times without any problems. I never dry anything on high heat, so maybe you shouldn't either.
Kari Bean says
Thanks! I am 5'11 and love that you often highlight things that are available in the tall sizes too. Definitely won't dry on high 🙂
Anne Harvey says
My husband I decided last night that we would skip giving each other gifts this year so we could afford to get our families gifts. This gift card would be sweet!
Anonymous says
Well I could do all my christmas shopping and not leave the room.that would be the best ever.
lilyv says
Shay, You are so right about Uggs! Forget about the price, forget about what you think they look like, they are the most comfortable things you will ever put on your feet. I had mine on for the first time since last winter yesterday and it was like I was reunited with an old friend – I missed them so much.
They are definitely worth the investment!
The Gap, Nordstrom and the Loft are my 3 favorite stores so I love everything you pick out and I esp love seeing how you put the pieces together – great ideas!
Candice Kelley says
Hi Shay! I am looking on the Gap website and they have so many great options! What is the name of that beige sweater you are wearing in the top right picture? There are a few that resemble it. Thank you!!
Mix and Match Mama says
To see the beige sweater, click "cowlneck" underneath that graphic!
Shaunna says
Omgoodness! Would love to win! Thanks for the opportunity–My fingers are crossed:)

The Clarisonic Mia peaked my interest & I'm considering buying. It seems to have rave reviews. How often do you use yours? Once a day, twice a day, every other day..? Thanks for sharing these suggestions!!
Kim says
How awesome is this giveaway?!?
sandi says
I wish there was a way for people without instagram / twitter to win. living in the stone ages with an old flip phone and none of the above.
